Why Turkey Entered the War We must not forget the exceeding importance of German willingness to assist the ambitions of the educated Turks for self-government ami for in dependence from European influence. The English anil French control of Turkey wag fortuitous and artificial and depended solely upo.i the control of a little group of men in Constantinople. German influence in Turkey has deep and fundamental roots in a large and significant part of the Turkish popula tion and appeals to their best and high est. impulses. We have here in the last analysis the reasons why Turkey has joined Germany in the war. The enlightened Turk, seen in Pan-German ism a democratic Turkey with constitu tional self-government, a Turkey de veloping its own resources, a Turkey gradually freeing itself form the fetters of European alliances and becoming gradually but certainly strong enough to take its place in the Pan-Germania chain as a state of worth, integrity and importance. They see in the victory of Pan-Germanism tlie effective promise of the realization of such ideals. They see in the defeat of Pan-Germanism po litical nnd national death, the annexa tion of Turkey by its enemies and the sulbjection of the Turks to the rule of the infidel. For these reasons they joined Germany in the first place. For these deep, fundamental reasons they hold staunchly to their friend. We shall be guilty of quibbling and of shortsightedness if we look for an ex planation of Turkish policy in the seiz ure of warships and the breach of treat ies.—Prof. Roland G. Usher, in the January World's Work. The Rose of Sharon In Asia the rose of fclharon is con sidered the em'blem of resurrection.

FINANCE CAINS AND LOSSES EQUAL IN IKE EARLY QUOTATIONS Market Refuses to Follow Lead of Lon don, Where American Securities Were Again Lower To-day—Lead ers Show Little Change Either Way By Associated Press, New Yor'k, Jan. 6 (Wall Street) The only notalble feature of to-day 'a stock market was its refusal to follow the lead otf London, Where Americans were again lower, with losses of a point or wore in several of the transconti nental issues. Early quotations .wore a mixture of gains and losses, most of the leaders showing ljttle change either way. There were one 'point gains, however, in such specialties as Texas Company and vSlosa Sheffield steel. Trading was the lightest of any recent day, a tie-up of the local subway causing some iconfu sion and delaying the financial district. Sentiment was somewhat depressed by the subway accident and prices re acted soon after the opening 'but made partial recovery later. A direct result of what was at first thought to (be a catastrophe was the abrupt decline in Interborough issues, the common and ■preferred Shares falling l'/ s to 2 points with one point Joss in the 4y s per cent, bonds. Most of the leaders fell tinder yesterday 'a closing and Missouri Pacific declined to a new low level. By midday business had fallen to slender propor tions.

Hundreds of passengers wedged tight in the cars said afterwards that it started with an explosion and that the train came almost immediately to a standstill. Aboard the train thorn was a frantic rush for the end cars. Through t'he open doors at each end there poured a stream of men and wom en who struggled through the smoke, apparently oblivious of the d -ngef of the third rail, toward the two stations. The platforms at these stations were jammed and in the wild rush for the exists gome persons were thrown down and trampled on. As the work of res cue progressed indications that the number of fatalities would be larger than first estimated. Aid Summed From Brooklyn Emergency calls to hospitals brought to the spot every ambulance in Man hattan. As fast as the unconscious victims were removed from the tube they were laid on the sidewalk, carried into stores and offices and given first aid by squads of firemen and surgeons. 80 great was the demand upon the lire fighting'forces of the city to aid in the work of reviving the unconscious that hurry calls were sent by telephone to Brooklyn for ai'd from fche firemen there. The tie-up resulting from the fire spread to the Bronx and to Brooklyn and tens of thousands of persons strug gled at elevated railway and subway stations in those boroughs in an effort to reach Manhattan. Placed on the Platforms As the fire began to cool long streams of firemen, each carrying in his arms a dead or unconscious victim, entered tho two stations. The bodies of the dead were placed upon the platforms; those w'ho still lived wore taken to t'hn outer air and the firemen went back for more. Tho bodies of twenty persons lay on the platform of the Fiftieth street sta tion an hour after the fire started. The flames were still raging then and there were only estimates as to the number of dead in the cars and along tho tracks. Battled in attempts to reach tho victims who lay close to the burning cars. Inspector Egan of the Bureau of Cumbustibles, dispatched messengers by automobiles for dynamite. He said' that he would use this, if necessary, to rip up tho streets and thus afford the fire men an entrance through which they, could work unhampered. Collision Caused the Fire Unofficial reports gave the cause of the fire as a collision between express trains. At the time of the fire the subway contained smoke from a pre vious fire extinguished only a few min« utes before at the Spring street sta tion. It was shortly before 9.30 o'clock that wisps of smoke began to curl from tho manholes along Broadway between the two stations. The spot where the fire burned fiercest was opposite Fifty sixth street. Hampered in their efforts to reach the blaze the fireman dug into the pavement with their axes. They succeeded in making a hole above the subway at Fifty-thiHd street. From this opening belched a volume of smoke and flames as if from a crator. Hose was directed through the opening and even hand extinguishers were used. For ten blocks tho streets were lined with the ambulances that came from all over the city. A cordon thrown around Broadway by the police hold in check tens of thousands of spectators. Two hundred persons in all wore ta ken to the Polyclinic, the surgeon said, but as far as he knew, with this one exception, none had been fatally in jurcd. GUESSING AS_TO CABINET Politicians Here Admit Nothing Ku Leaked as to the Intentions of Governor-elect Brumbaugh On Capitol Hill and in political cir cles everybody is at sea regarding the Cabiuet appointments to be made by Dr. Brumbaugh when ho takes office as Governor on January 19, although many guesses are being made. The names of Dimner Beeber, I'hila 'd'elphia, and Jesse E. B. Cunningham, Westmoreland, —the latter the present Deputy Attorney General,- —are most frequently heard in connection with the Attorney Generalship, but there also comes to the front the name of present Attorney General, John Bell. In court, yesterday Mr. Bell, in taking .his farewell, remarked that it wa* "probable" he was before the court for the last time in his official position. The fact, that he used the word "prob able'' was taken to moan that JK>S sibjy Mr. Bell has had an assurance that he is to be reappointed. For Secretary of the Commonwealth the name heard most is that of the pres ent Secretary, Robert McAfee, of Al legheny, but Mr. McAfee informed friends, previous to leaving for home, that he is in the dark on the subject and if he is to succeed himself he has no information to that effect. Two names stand out most prom inently for Secretary of Agriculture, which position will be" vacated by Sec retary C'ritohfield, —those of Professor H. A. Surface, present State Economic, Zoologist, and Algeron R. Martin, pres ent Deputy Secretary of Agriculture. Mr. Surface has had a large number of newspaper endorsements, but Mr. Martin is barked by hundreds of farmer and agriculturists from all over the State who have written letters to Dr. Brumbaugh asking for hie appoint ment. As yet Dr. Brumbaugh has preserved the greatest reticence regarding all of his appointments, and it is conjectured that ho alone knows whom he intend/ to select. All is mystery.
