Thirteen men and glrN loHt their liven in a fire that destroyed an old four-story brick and wooden factory building In the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. A search of the ruins is expected to uncover the bodies of 12 other victims, eight of them girls, who were reported as miss ing. Of the 40 injured in hospital many were expected to die, and a scorn more were less seriously burned and bruised. The building was occupied by a randy manufacturing concern and three firms manufacturing clothing, whose employes normiilly totaled 300 but more than a third had been dis missed before the fire started for a Saturday half holiday. Owners Arrested. After a preliminary investigation by the authorities, Mrs. Edward L. Dia mond, owner of the building, and her husband were arrestej on a charge of criminal negligence and remanded to Jail without bail.

The flames were discovered shortly before 2 o'clock by a girl employe of the candy factory, which occupied the ground floor and basement, and were soon roaring up the elevator shaft, around which wound the principal stairway. There was one other stairway in the rear of the building, and some of tho entrapped persons escaped by that, but before the firemen arrived men and women were leaping from tho windows. The flames had swiftly mushroomed from the elevator shaft Into the fourth floor, and scarcely had the first streams of water entered the building wheiuthe roof collapsed. The other floors soon after fell one by one. The disaster was the worst factory fire In New York since the plant of the Triangle Waist Company was burned out several years ago with a loss of 148 lives. But One Fire-Escape. The flames spread so rapidly that escape for most of the employes in the building by stairs and elevator was impossible. The only fire-escape became Jammed. The flames drove the frightened men and women to the windows and forced I hem to Jump. Of the-bodies recovered from the ruins, six were taken from the fire-eseapo and four were found hanging out of windows charred beyond recognition. Several of these were girls, burned to death in the sight of a great crowd of helpless spectators. BOMB FOR CONSULATE. Third Attempt To Wreck That Of Italy In New York Fails. New York.

E MISSING SERBIA Fill 10 IHE LAST Remarkable Struggle Waged By Desperate Nation. WHAT CORRESPONDENT SAW Fighting a Forlorn Hope With Noth ing But Rifles To Contend Against the Intrenched Teutons, a Column Of 150 Men Slowly Retreat From One Plateau To Another, Requiring Germans To Fight For Every Inch Of Ground. Taris. "There, monsieur, with that you can go and see how Serbia is going to die," exclaimed LJouba Jovnnovitch, minister of the Interior, handing a let ter of recommendation to the general staff to Albert Londres, special corre spondent of the Petit Journal. Armed with this letter M. Londres made his way far beyond Palanka through long lines of retreating ox wagons and endless herds of sheep plodding through the mud of the M' rava Valley, without panic, escaping from the Teutons, whose voices were heard In the distance. "At a cross road," writes M. Lon dres, "a Serbian captain who was wait ing for me said, 'I was asked by Colonel Terzitch, commanding our di vision, to take ycu to our last posi tion. We walked side by side in si lence and then came out on a plateau. "'That Is our last position, mon sieur,' said the Serbian officer. 'We are on Ossletz Plateau. The two others you see a hundred yards away over there are the plateaus Vaboratz and Michavolatz, which were Just taken from us.' "I saw no soldiers and asked, 'where is your line?' ' 'There it comes,' replied the oill cer. A Forelorn Hope. "I saw debouching frrm a little wood, one by one, with a dignity that brought tears to my eyes, the l.",0 men whom, on this great plateau, Serbia had opposed embattled Germany. " 'On retiring from Vaboratz an hour aco,' said the captain, 'those 130 hid in the woods. Now they are coming out to face the enemy' "The lieutenant In command took a few steps into a cornfield and shouted a command to his men They lay down on the edge of a field without a word or a sidelong glance and delib erately raised their rifles " 'Look, Monsieur,' exclaimed the Captain 'There are the mountains of Hungary. Behind that pass is the vil lage of Verscatte before which is Von Mackensen. Do you see that blue line a little further on? That is tho Danube.' "For 16 days with their three, five, six and ten-inch guns the Germans had been blazing away on this front. They never found on this line a larger number of men than those ISO brave fellows before our eyes, but they had not yet succeeded in preventing the Serbians from seeing the blue line of their Danube when they raised their heads. " 'Two days ago it was quite dif ferent," my guide informed me. 'So many shells have fallen upon it that its form is completely changed. Do you see the movement below Va boratz? Those are the advancing Ger mans. There are about two hundred of them. That is not many, but it Is the vanguard of invasion.' The Brave 150 Men. "I watched those 1"0 Serbians who had not moved for half an hour, but who were gazing steadfastly at tin Iron curtain sweeping up to them with nothing to pierce it but their rifles. No, I am. wrong! They had also a proud consciousness of their heroism." Sa'oniki. Serbian resistance to the Austro-German drive Is of the most heroic character, according to travel ers who have arrived here from the front. While the forces under Field Marshal Von Mackensen number only 150,000 they are supplied with such n tremendous weight of artillery that they are able to batter the very hills into shapeless masses with shells from their 12-inch mortars and keep up a constant cloudburst of shrapnel under which the Serbs are forced to retire slowly without even seeing their antagonists. The native troops, ex perts in mountain fighting, take ad vantage of every natural position of strength, however, forcing the Austro Germans to dislodge them and giving "no ground until compelled to do so. Their spirit Is courageous, but des perate. IMMIGRATION MEN RESTORED. 800 Workers Laid Off Part Of Year Now On Full Time. Washington.

Wickman, however, appeared to be somewhat dazed from fatigue and from shock sustained while under a death watch awaiting execution for some un known offense. SIGN OF PROSPERITY.
