Year 1915 opened with the an
rouncement of the new Chandler

for hish-grade six. Such a car at
such price stampeded the trade to-
ward the Chandler.

Over Conduct Of the War

Amsterdam. Dec. 1.-The Austrian
emperor has accepted tho reslgna-
tions OF the ministers Of finance, In
terror and commerce. according to
Vienna advices today.
The designations are associated
with reports that Austria Is seeking
q separate peace. II is believed that
these ministers favored such q step
and were overruled.
The minister OF finance 10 supposed
to have quit because OF inability to
raise money TO continue the struggle;
while the minister OF the interior re-
tired because he could not organize
the governmental distribution of food
and cope with popular discomfort
over the food situation.
The minister OF commerce presum-
ably agreed with the other two.
though these suggestions are entirely
surmises.
Vienna offered no explanation OF
the retirements.

Wilmington. Del, Dec. l.--While
searchers still hunted for the grue-
some remains OF victims OF the

against possible bomb plots
Meantime Investigations sought to
ascertain the cause for the explo-
sion. which killed 81 persons and ia

Only ruins mark the crater Of the
packing house wherein the explosion
started.
II was reported that the allies en-
bassies at Washington inquired as to
the cause, being interested because
the company Is engaged on allied
war contracts.
Meantime the police held the the
ory that pro-German agents were re-
vsponsible for the blast, though the
company suggested merely that the
cause may never be known.
Searchers told horrible stories to-
day OF finding shreds OF flesh impaled
ON limbs Of trees some distance from
the packing house, while others re-
ported fragments Of bodies seen
floating down the Brandywine creek
nearby.
In the wake OF yesterdays explo-
sion Are today did slight damage at
the company's blending mill at

casualties.
In connection with warnings to the
company, II had refused for long
