INTEREST IN WAR CENTERS IN DESPERA TE RAGING IN Berlin Describes Fight as Most Violent of War- French.' Hold Ground. OTHER BATTLES RAGE Russians Cover All Front and and Throw Extra Army Against Germans. Rain Stops Fighting in South ern Poland. 'London, Jan. 6. - Apart from the Russian victorv over the Turks in tranS-Caueasia, which is de scribed in a dispatch to the Russ ian embassy from Petrograd as "complete," interest in the war centers in the stubborn fight the French and Germans are carrying on for the roads to Cernay and Muelhausen, in Upper Alsace. The battle in that region, raging for a week, is described in a Ber lin dispatch as the most violent of the war. The Germans regained one trench they had lost, hut on the whole the French reports ap pear to show that the forces of France maintain their advance for every inch of which they had to fiirht. often with the bayonet. Along the rest of the western front the tide of battle continues to ebb and flow. On either side of fiheims, according to reports, the French daily press -their lines a few yards further, while in the Armonde, where more hard fight , ing is going on, first the Germans and then the French report the r-iintiirp of other's entrenchments I capiure OI Oilier ! enxiencnmemb. Another' region where the French seemingly keep nibbling away at the German lines in the Woevre, where gains they report ed last night anda-gain today must have gone a lpng wW toward rendering the Germans' long occu- nation of St. MiehL on the Meuse, i less comfortable. Russians Again Take Offensive. The Russians, witn "all "their other fronts to cover, have .found another army with which to take. the offensive against the German positions at Mlwa on the East Prussian frontier, and to night report the capture Of a village on the- road to that town". ' " ' The Germans still are haTnmering at the Russian line drawn directly across the roads to Warsaw from, the west but it is reported with less force be hind them. In West Galicia, however, where they have reinforced the Aus trians, they have held up the Russian advance near Golice. la Southern Poland rain has stopped the fighting. Neither side is able to move there owing o the high-water and the mud. The Russians continue to drive the Austrians through the snow-covered passes of the Carpathians and out of Bukowina, and simultaneously are deal ing in detail with the remnants of the Turkish armies in trans-Caucasia, which are reported either to have been routed or surrounded The Turkish dash into this distant province of Russia is described by mil itary men here as having been an un wise maneuver. Military operations n that part of the world would be diffi cult in this season at any time, they :say, but in a particularly severe win ter there was little chance of the poor ly equipped Turkish troops succeeding in their efforts. Altogether the Russians engaged the Turks in ten pitched battles in many cases -while knee deep in snow and at m altitude of from 6,000 to 10,000 feet.

The Herlin correspondent of the Tijd trans mits the following semi-offlcial com munication concerning the pastoral let ter of Cardinal Mercier reported ar rested by the Germans for advising Belgians not to give allegiance to the German administration: "Everybody, anti or pro-German, agrees that the cardinal was justified in endeavoring in his pastoral letters to console the civilian population ifl riH-ir doubtless severe times, . and in founseling them to keep quiet.

An Exchange' Tele- I BATTLE NOW UPPER ALSACE iHENER TELLS ESS British House of Lords Gat) er to Listen to Review, t SITUATION FAVORABLE Secretary for War Goes Into Details of Operations Throughout Eu rope Peers Listen With Rapt Attention. London, Jan. 6. The House of Lords met today, a month earlier than the House of- Commons, chiefly to hear from Lord Kitchener a review of the military operations for the six weeks since Parliament was prorogued. While the speech of the secretary for war contained little not already known, it i was listened to with rapt attention by a distinguished gathering. The peers, as usual, were in their robes of office, but beyond this the scene was lacking in the usual color, for of the long rows of peeresses In tne gallery, virtually every one was in mourning for some relative killed at the front. Lord Kitchener read his speech and referred briefly to the operations in every sphere, laying particular em phasis on the Turkish defeat in the Caucasus. the Austrian defeat in Ga licia and ' what he considered even more important the "severe check to German aspirations in Poland." 'Noteworthy Progress. The war secretary spoke of the "noteworthy progress" made by the French east of Rheims and in South ern Alsace, the "extraordinary achieve ment" of the Servians, which he char acterizes as one of -the "brightest specks in the military operations dur ing December; General Louis Botha's "masterly handling" of the situation in South, Africa; the advance of the In dian army in Mesopotamia and success-, f ul campaigns in East Africa; and Ka nrerun; the German colony of West Africa. He paid tribute to the smallest of the Allies, Montenegt, which, he said, "advanced into Bosnia and captured important positions in the face of con siderable Austrian opposition." Of the army which comes directly under "his command, the war secretary told of the surprise and reverse suf fered by Indians at Given chy Decern ber 20th, when they lost a trench which they afterwards regained and added: "The British line thus resumed has since then been entirely maintained." French's Army Increased. General French's army, said. the sec retary, has been increased a number of territorial units and another divi sion to which is attached "a fine Cana dian regiment." He expressed satisfaction with the progress of recruiting, which, after the anticipated decrease at Christmas has restored almost to its "former satisfac tory level." ' Speaking of the anxiety felt at the beginning of the War, at the death of officers, Lord Kitchener declared that all vacancies had been filled and there now was ' a considerable surplus. Al though the training of the men had heen carried on under the worst wea ther . conditions, a great deal of ex tremely, gpod work had been done dur ing the past month, he said. Before" adjournment several lords brought - up the question of enemy aliens now interned in England, whom they considered a menace. The Earl of Crewe, speaking for the govern ment, promised to give the subject fur ther consideration. graph dispatch from Amsterdam, says telegrams received there from Berlin assert that Cardinal Mercier's arrest has caused consternation in Catholic circles. . Catholic leaders, it is stated, openly declare the arrest was an un pardonable blunder and that if the Reichstag were in session the members of the Centrist party would demand an explanation from the chancellor. Berlin dispatches say that messages from Rome declare the arrest of Cardi nal Mercier has aroused indignation in aVtican circles and it is expected Pope Benedict will ask for speedy redress. BELGIAN CONDITIONS. Chairman of American Relief Commis sion Reports. London, Jan. 6. Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the American Commission for Belgian Relief, returned to Lon don today from a tour of inspection in Belgium and issued this statement: "An appalling situation has been pre sented to the commission with regard to the French peasantry in the valley of the Meuse, just south of the Belgian frontier, where there are 10,000 per sons absolutely without food. Our in vestigation there showed a large num ber of deaths already from starvation. "Despite the shortness of rations in Belgium, our Belgian colleagues agreed that we must share the last crust with these people. We, therefore, sent them food out of our limited Belgian stores." Mr. Hoover also issued a report of the commission's work in Belgium in which he says the organization for dis tributing food is well on the road to completion. It is aided by 50,000 vol unteers and there are only a few; Jocal ities to, which relief has not bejen ex tended. "The destitute comprise about 1,400, 000. The cost of supporting them is about 2,500.000 a month, for which we are depending on the charity of the world," Mr. Hoover says. - There are funds enough to last oh ly,until February 15th and unless fur ther aid js given the "world will , be - Continued on Page itgm .-,t T OF WAR'S PROGR WILMINGTON, N. C STONE AND LODGE IN BITTER DEBATE Result of Former's Criticism of President Wilson. s - riND MEXICAN POUCY ' Senator Stone Brands Attack of Re publican Senator Upon President a Purely Partisan Outburst and a Fabrication. Washington, January 6. Senator Lodge sharply criticised President Wil son's Mexican policy in the Senate to day, and drew a reply from Chairman Stone, of the foreign relations commit tee, branding the attack as a purely partisan outburst. Senator Stone, how ever, agreed with a suggestion by Sen ator Borah that the whole Mexican problem should be discussed fully in the Senate at an early date. Senator Lodge reviewed incidents in Mexico since the Madero revolt. He de clared anarchy existed. in Mexico today, and that it was all but too late for this government to adopt any policy other than military occupation. He insisted that personal animosity on the part of President- Wilson against General Hu erta had directed the administration's course towards Mexico, and .that the President's omission of any mention of Mexico in his last annual message to Congress had left it to. be presumed that he had no policy to advance, now that Huerta was ousted." Senator Stone took exception to Sen ator Lodge's statement that it was im possible to expect organization of an orderly government in Mexico. He sharply arraigned the Massachusetts senator for precipitating discussion of foreign relations' at this time. Senator Lodge had incorporated in his remarks an article by former Pres ident Roosevelt, attacking the adminis tration's Mexican policy and making mention of charges of religious perse cution in Mexico. ' Senator Lodge Arraigned. "It is detestable," Senator Stone de clared, "that a former President and his coadjutor upon the floor, the senator from Massachusetts, should attempt to incite religious passions in considera tion of our foreign affairs. There is too much of that going on now, both by -Protestants arti Catholics." "I" can think of -nothing more dangerous to our political and civil life. It is time for patriotic senators to -arise and do something to check the onward move ment of this great religious conflict. This is not the age, and this is not the country, where propaganda of that kind should be encouraged." Senator Lodge's charge that Presi dent Wilson's animosity against Hu erta had brought about the present con ditions in Mexico, was characterized by Senator Stone as a "bald fabrication." Senator -Borah read extracts from Senator Stone's speeches during the Taft administration, and declared the Missouri senatorV had completely changed his views with the change in party power. The Mexican situation had come to a point, he said, where it must be debated fully in the light of the. nation's duty to protect its citi zens wherever they might be found. "I should like to see the policy es tablished," he said, "whether Demo cratic or Republican, that when a man is called out to passers-by in any for eign city that he was an American cit izen it would be known that his life and his rights would be fully protected by this government." DULANEY CLOSES CASE AGAINST THE SOUTHERN Counsel in Conclusion Makes Specific Charges Probe of Coal Rates Almost Concluded Southern Charged With Being Under Control of N. & V. and Pennsylvania. Washington, Jan. 6. Counsel for B. L. Dulaney, of Bristol. Va., who brought charges of coal rate discrimination against the Southern Railway, closed their case today before the Senate na val subcommittee, which has been in vestigating the allegations since last summer. C. A. Dauglas, of Dulaney's counsel, argued that testimony before the com mittee substantiated these conclu sions: That Southern Railway coal rates to South Atlantic ports had been unduly discriminatory against coal operators in Southwest Virginia, Eastern Tennes see and Eastern Kentucky; that the Southern Railway while in physical contact with great Southern coal de posits that are seeking a market, main tains rates so high to Southern ports that Northern coal via the Norfolk & Western, Baltimore & Ohio, and Penn sylvania railroad, finds a market in the Southern ports an that t-outnorn ra way directors have no real financial interest in that road but are, Interested heavily in Northern coal deposits car ried by other roads. Mr. Douglas declared the evidence had shown that the Southern Railway as a separate corporation "has no pow er to control rates on coal to the sea board Without the consent of the Nor folk & Western and Pennsylvania rail road .

SUBWAY ACCIDENT 111 NEW YORK CITY Two Hundred Persons Injur edOne Fatally PASSENGERS IN PANIC Seven Hundred Passengers Fight for Freedom In Underground Passage When Smoke Becomes Un H bearable. New Yark, Jan. 6. The worst acci dent in ien years' history of New York's subway occurred during the morning rush hours today when 700 passengers Jn two stalled trains were -s ' stcicken with panic in the darkened tubes, by dense smoke and acrid fume from a short circuited cable. In the struggle to; escape some 20 persons were injured, one a woman, fatally. Others,, overcome, were rescued, uncon scious, by police and firemen, while scores struggled to the street, un nerved, or hysterical, their -clothing torn and faces blackened bV the smoke. The city tonight was in the throes of a transportation blockade without par allel in its lifistory. It was not until late this afternoon that a wheel again turned in the;;subway and then only a nmitea local,-, service was maintained. The hundrediof thousands of passen gers the subway ordinarily carries were diverted to' elevated and surface sys tems and when the home bound rush began tonight'neither system had ade quate facilities." -Jhere Were no sub way trains truoning to Brooklyn and dense massesbf humanity concentrat ing at the Bropklyn bridge, prolonged the rush hourperiod for two hours in a struggle, bpard trains and cars. Darkness and Smoke. The a ccidentt occurred between the 15th and 59th street stations and called out virtually th .entire fire and ambu lance service omManhattan Island. The two trains, an express and a local, both packed, came :to a stop midway be tween the stations and the lights went out. A large feed cable had blown out in its conduit, some 50 yards dis tance and soon ..the cars were filled with the fumes . of . burning rubber. This soon grew, unbearable and it took little to start apanic in the darkness. i- The demand a&faso ojthe. passen gers that the doors be-opened were re fused by guards, it was said. Fights ensued and there was soon in progress on both trains a desperate struggle to get out. "Windows, were smashed by the score, men and women trampled each other and tore each other's clothes in fear. When the first of the panic stricken passengers reached the street the re port spread that there had been a ter rible catastrophe in which many had been killed. Police and firemen quickly reached the scene and although it was at length established that the reports were ex aggerated they were busy more than three hours in the rescue work. They found in the two trains many passen gers, mostly women, half asphyxiated. Others had collapsed on the floor of the tube. Some were brought up by ladder through manholes,, some through ven tilating apertures in the street, ordi narily covered with steel grating. Some Seriously Injured. Nearbv theatres, stores and automo bile garages were commandeered as temporary hospitals, while dozens of ambulances carried away to hospitals those needing skilled attention.

Washington, Jan, 6. After several hours of argument by representatives of Baltimore banks which have pro tested formally against location of the Fifth District Reserve bank at Rich mond instead of Baltimore, the Feder al Reserve Board late today took the protest under consideration without comment. It is understood no imme diate action will be taken. ; Promulgation of. detailed regulations for operation of the Reserve System, management of the cotton loan fund, and other pressing matters, it is said, will delay decision on the protest. . Attorneys for Baltimore interests opened their argument by asking that Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Wil liams, ex-of&cio members of the board be excluded from the hearing. Wil liams and McAdoo were members of the organization committee which chose Richmond against Baltimore. No action on the request was taken.

Reports con cerning child labor in North Carolina caused a lively clash between Dr. A. J. McKelway, Southern Secretary of the national committee, and David Clark, a Charlotte, N. C, editor, at today's-session of the 11th annual conference on child labor.

He charged representatives of the committee with misrepresenting facts in the South and declared against na tional child labor legislation and urged the delegates .to clean up affairs in their home states before taking part in the affairs of others. Dr. McKelway, he said, had issued, pamphlets - only half representing the facts. : . Dr. McKelway Replies. - Dr. McKelway replied to Mr." Clark. As to national legislation, he said," he had only to quote "Mr. Clark's father, Chief Justice Clark, of the: North-Carolina Supreme court, ' who - held child labor legislation constitutional. The committee, he said, had;jiot ex hibited to the public ' pictures of hu manity wrecked by-early employment, but he said the next generation would have living pictures of the effects. He denied, that the committee had disseminated-information that four and . five year old children were., employed, in North Carolina, but he declared Fed eral investigation had shown 75, per cent, of the mill operators there violat ed the law by child employment: , Employers of child labor, lie roundly denounced, and he .added that"" users of child labor products were in fact to an extent the employers.

The American steamer Denver, bound for Bremen, Germany, with cotton from Norfolk, December 23rd, has tieen detained at Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, north of Scotland. The owners have asked the State Department to make representa- j tions. I The Denver was reported to have been loaded under the inspection not only of United States customs officials, but also of the British consular officers at Norfolk. She had aboard about 7,000 bales of cotton. Arrangements are now under way which' it is 'believed here, may facili tate shipments. The plan would pro vide that -vessels have their hatches sealed before they leave American ports. American customs officials and British consuls could see that the seal was properly affixed after the loading had been inspected. --The" 'City of Macon, with 8,500 bales of cotton recently left New York for Bremen and. sealed hatches under that plan. -The City of Memphis, now load ing at Norfolk for Bremen, and the City of Savannah, from Wilming ton for Rotterdam, both with cotton only, have sailed with hatches sealed. Under that plan, it is believed, British authorities will allow such vessels to pass, f . SURPRISE AT NORFOLK. Steamer Denver Loaded Under British Consul's Inspection at That Port.

"The bane of the church is its many unhappy divisions," said Bishop Gra vatt, "The hearts of men are amazed at a divided and a dividing church. In our own . church we are too much concerned over non-essentials." There is a distinct feeling in the world, he declared, that the success of missions depends upon Christian unity. The occasion was ideal for such an utterance from a man of such high po sition on a subject of vital interest to every follower of the meek and low ly Christ. In the vast assemblage of persons were not only members of every denomination In the city, but there were many from , other places, not,: only in the Diocese , of EaBt-.

Robertson, organist and choir master at St. James' led in the singing of the hymns and rendered special " selections at intervals that added much to the solemnity of the occasion. Following the morning prayer at 9:30 o'clock, the processional formed in th Parish House and promptly at 11 o'clock marched down Market street and entered the church at the front, passing up the aisle of the church in the following order: crucifer, the choir, vestry of St. James' church, Wilming ton, lay representatives of the Diocese of East Carolina, representatives of St. James church, Richmond, Vai, clergy of the diocese of East Carolina,' visit ing clergy, clerical members of the standing committee of East Carolina, deputy registrar, master of ceremonies, visiting Bishops, attending- Presbyters, the Bishop-elect, the presenting Bish ops, the Co-consecrators and the Pre siding Bishop. y Occupying seats in the chancel be sides the choir were those who took part in the service while the visiting clergy and the other members 'of the processional occupied seats in the front pews reserved for them. The Consecration. Following the sermon by Bishop Gra vatt, Bishop Darst, who during the ser vice occupied a chair at the front of the main "aisle, was presented to the" Presiding Bishop by Bishop Tucker, of the Diocese of Southern Virginia, andt Bishop Guerry, of the Diocese of South Carolina.
