BROOKLYN flic iV'mim Soldiers at Van Cortlandt Render Effective Service in Preventing Panic in Throng.

IKATVS BLOCKED TWO HOURS. Halls Torn and Thousands of Visitors to Park Encampment Are Held I'p. "Wives, mothers, children and sweethearts of soldiers encamped in Van Cortlandt Park, estimated by the police at nearly 6,000, were held in a crush yesterday arternoon after a day spent at the park, when the subway system was tied up for nearly two hours as the result of the derailment of an empty train of three cars near the 145th street station on the Broadway division. of persons were Jammed on the platforms of the stations at 242d street and 235th street, and thousands of others fought on the stairways and the street to be released from the crush. Police reserves from several stations, as well as soldiers from the Twenty-third and each of the regiments at the park were called upon to quiet the crowds and caro for the women and children.

Shortly after 4 o'clock an empty train of three cars, bound for the yards at 143d street, jumped the track at the north end of the 145th street station, tearing up the rails and the third rail for some distance. A southbound train, loaded with passengers, had JusUeft the 157th street station and was held in the tunnel between the two stations by the block. The auxiliary lighting system enabled the passengers, many of them women and children, to leave the cars and walk to the 157th street station. Meanwhile, the ticket sellers at the terminal at 242d street and at the 285th street station continued the sale of tickets until the platforms of each station were crowded. The sale of tickets was finally discontinued, but thousands of persons clamored at the entrance to the stations.

The crowd grew to such alarming proportions that police reserves were summoned. Soldiers greatly aided the police in averting a panic. Officers of the Twenty-third and Seventy-first Infantries and the First Felld Artillery ordered automobiles to the scene, and women with babies and email children were transported to 226th street, where surface cars conveyed them to the downtown lines. Many of the women were in a state of collapse as the result of the buffeting crowds on the platforms and stairways. Automobiles, wagons.

Jitneys and very conceivable form of conveyance was pressed Into service to relieve the pressure at the terminal. Many persons walked from there to the 235th street station, only to find the same condition prevailing. Similar scenes were enacted at each of the stations down to that at 137th street, where It was necessary to summon additional police from the West 186th street station to handle the impatient crowds. After a wrecking train of the Inter-borough had been rushed to the scene of the accident, a shuttle service was Inaugurated on the northbound track many of the passengers who had elected to walk the tracks to the 157th etreet station were picked up and' taken to the nearest stations. At 6:43 o'clock announcement was made by the Interborough officials that full service had been resumed.

Each train was filled to capacity, however, and it was some time before the service was anything like normal. Passengers on another southbound train, the first to leave 181st street after the accident, left the train when It became stalled a block and a half north of the 168th street station and. walked to the station. ALL KNITTERS ARE NEEDED. Members Are Asked to Provide Themselves With Wool From Headquarters, A call has gone out to all the auxiliaries and branches of the Brooklyn Chapter of the American Red Cross for members to provide themselves with wool from headquarters, muster not only the knitters of their own ranks but of their neighborhoods, and to proceed to the work of knitting wool garments without delay.

These garments are for the men of our own army and navy as well as of those of the allied armies and navies. Twenty thousand sets 80,000 knitted garments Is the toll expected of the Brooklyn Chapter before October 15. This is Brooklyn's allotment of the 1,500,000 sets 6,000,000 garments-called for before that date. Each of these sets comprises sleeveless Jacket, wristlets, muffler and socks. A new knitting manual with full directions for making all of these garments and with illustrations of each garment is in the hands of the auxiliary chairmen, and free copies may be had at headquarters within a week.

This manual is brought out by the new women's bureau of the American Red Cross at Washington, D. C. Wool Is sold at the new auxiliary supply station, 165 Remscn street, at $2 a pound. Knitters who are unable to pay for wool may obtain it free for all of the garments that they will knit upon the presentation of proper credentials. Such pieces must be turned in to headquarters upon completion.

"No call to arms was ever more imperative than is the present summons of Brooklyn knitters to their needles," says Miss Josephine H. Sutphln, secretary of the Brooklyn Chapter, Amer ican Red Cross. "The most urgent appeal to our auxiliary workers since the war began has come to the knitters of this borough. Major Grayson M. P.

Murphy, European conimissioner of the Red Cross, cabled the following message: Last winter broke the rec ord for cold and misery among the people here. Begin shipping at once 1.500.000 each of knitted mufflers, sweaters, socks and wristlets. They are desnerately needed before cold weather. I urge you on behalf of our soldiers and those of our allies who will suffer in the frozen trenches. "This message was followed by a telegram from the director of the Atlantic Division, stating that the quota of knitted goods assigned to the Brooklyn Chapter was 20,000 of each knitted article listed above.

These goods should be delivered by October 15. "It Is plain that If Brooklyn is to furnish Its allotment, its women must work harder than ever before and for two months at least knitting must take precedence over other work.
