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.
Throughout Syria, Judea and Araibia it
is regarded with the profoundest rever
ence. The leaves that encircle the blos
soms dry and close together when the
season of blooming is over, and the
stalk, withering completely and drying
in the shape of a ball, is carried by the
'breeze to great distances. I'll t'his way
it is borne over the sandy deserts until,
touching some moist place, it clings to
the soil, Habere it immediately takes
fresh root and springs to life
beauty again.—London Mail.

the end of June to the middle of Sep
tember; sorties and relief were vain;
the town capitulated under the most
honorable conditions. In 1691 tfoo
Marechal de Luxembourg attacked the
town, inflicted great damage and forced
surrender. In 1709 Marlborough ami

Market Refuses to Follow Lead of Lon

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. Bonds were 'heavy, St. Paul con
vertibles losing a -point.

The Well-Beloved Belgian King
"We have received letters recently
from the soldiers fighting in Flanders,
in which they many times of our
Kin if. It is when one talks>with our
soldiers that one perceives "how he is
loved;'they say, all of them, that they
will die for him. He is constantly at
their side, encouraging them by his
presence and his courage. At certain
momenta he adventures too far; always
he is in the very midst of the com
bat.
"One soldier said to a friend of
mine, who writes in this letter his
words 'The King came anil placed him
self at my side in the trench. He took
t'he rifle of a soldier so exhausted he
could not stand, to give him a chance of
rest, and fired comme le plus petit
pioupiou—just as one of his own sol
diers —during an hour and a half. Ho
himself carries their letters to the sol
diers and distributes among them the
little paquets w'hich their friends, their
paronts, send them from the homes now
destroyed. He shares—what do you call
it?—la ratatouille [soldiers' mess)
with his soldiers and he calls them al
ways "my friends." lie does not want
that they shall render 'him honors; he
wishes simply to 'be a soldier in the
full strength of that term. One night
he was seen, exhausted'by fatigue,sleep
ing on the grass at the side of the
road.' " —From an interview with Em
manuel llavenith, Minister of Belgium
to tho United States, in the January
'' World's Work."
13
HUNDREDS OVERCOME DY
SMOKE INJBWAY FIRE
Continued From First I'agr.
the Fiftieth and Fifty-ninth Btreet sta
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.
