FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH "a, 1918
THE TERRIFIC DYNAMITE EX-
PLoSI0N.

On Friday, March It'll, 1913, there
occurred in the lower harbor of Bal
timore, nearly opposite Sparrows
Point. the most disastrous explosion
of dynamite, that has ever taken
place In this section of the country
The explosion killed more than 30
persons and wounded twice that
number. 1t shook the country for
many miles, and was thought in many
places to be an earthquake The
circumstances of the occurrence
were these: The Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company had brought to Balti-
more a number of carloads of dyna-
mite, which was intended for the
Panama Canal After it reached
Baltimore the cars we're taken on
barges to the British Tramp Steamer.
Alum Chine, which was lying out In
the stream at anchor. ready to re-
ceiye 1t. About $50 tons had been
lowered into the hold Of the steamer
when the explosion occurred. II was
not definitely known what produced
the terrific explosion. although a
coroners jury has been investigating
with what is necessarily a very I'M
certain result. The truth OF the real
cause may never be known.
There are two things we wish to
emphasize in connection with the
dreadful occurrence. First. that our
readers, many of whom use dynamite
In one way or another. may realize
the high explosive quality OF this
article And secondly. that being so
highly explosive, 1t Is. Of course. an
article of extreme danger and should
be handled with the greatest caution.
Il Is in much more general use than
many persons suppose. II a farmer
has an old stump that Is in hts way,
he gives 1t a charge Of dynamite, and
thinks nothing about the danger to
which he subjects himself and others.
Familiarity begets carelessness, and
between ignorance and earelessness,
there have been numerous dreadfui
accidents with dynamite.
We have written this article To
sound the warning to those who may
read 1t. not TO trife With dynamite
and If 1t must be used. require those
who handle it to do 50 with the great
est caution.

This means that the House of
Iadero will harbor it, deep seated
purposes Of revenge. and that revolu-
ton and its attendant horrors Will
continue to play havoc with the un-
happy nation.
Since the downfall Of Diaz all that
Ii 1orst in the national charter has

The United States Il fully justified

Had this country interviewed our
troops and warships would now be

estimated that from 100000 to $780,
900 men would be required for such a
