SCORES CH0KED
UNCONSCIOUS IN
FUMES OF NITRIC
ACID SPILLED
Hundred Made Ill in
Jersey City Erie
Station

Jersey City, " j., Sept. 24.-Ten
gallons of nitric acid, spilled from a
carboy to the floor of the Erie Rail
road station during the eemeluters
rush hour today, gave off fumes which
choked scores of persons to uncon-
seriousness, made hundreds i'll, stopped
traffic in the Hudson tunnels for an
hour and packed the stations with
thousands which a strong force OF
police quoted.
Not one of the throng sweeping
through the station was touched by
the acid as it bubbIed and boiled over
the stone floor, giving off clouds of
fumes. TWO or three persons collap-
sed immediately but in most cases of
Inconsistencies the poison acted as
slow agent. In some cases women
were stricken in ferryboats half an
hour after they had inhaled the
fumes. In perhaps 20 instances, per-
sons into whose lungs the fumes had
been inhaled for several minutes, sud
denly fell unconscious.
Four men and women aboard ferry
boats on which were packed hundreds
of hysterical passengers. to all ap-
pearances became as dead. Their
heartbeats were no longer audible.
Physicians revived them by artificial
respiration
Six persons were taken to hospitals.
1t was believed they would recover.
Three of this number were taken to
New York hospitals from ferryboats
upon their arrival here. One ferry
boat had aboard more than 200 per-
sons made i'll by the fumes. Most of
these recovered within an hour or so.

offensive was extremely vigorous to-
day at the western end of the long
line stretching along the rivers Disc,
Aisne and Woevre.
The allied troops whose gaps had
been filled with freshly arrived re-
Inducements, not only repeatedly
thrust back the masses of Germans
thrown against them but eventually
carried out a successful counter at
tack which resulted in the gaining OF
considerable ground and the definite
capture of Peronne, about which town
the fercest engagement occurred.
AT one place the victims of the
deadly German machine guns were
counted in hundreds. especially where
the advance was across an open wheat
field that recently had been harvested.
Some men of a French regiment,
which was making a dash toward the
German position when it was struck
by the sweeping fire, were found dead
in the kneeling posture they had TAX
en- behind the sheaves of wheat from
where they had emptied their maya
zines. intendi e to start final rush
and zayonet charge.
