This development, together with the
sharp advance by the AustTians north

Property Owners in Towas Surround
Acton, Mass, were Heavy Losers
Because of Shattered Windows
Cause of Explosion Not Known.

Acton, Mass, Aug. 2s.-with a shock
that was felt within a radius of forty
miles. the glazing mill of the Ameri-
can Powder company, which since the
outbreak of the EuroPean war has
been working TO its capacity, blew up
early today. So far as known, nobody
was killed The actual money loss to
the company was not heavy, but it was
stated that work on large orders would
be held up probably for several weeks.
Property owners in the surrounding
towns. particularly in Maynard, were
heavy losers because of shattered win
dows.
Saturday afternoon and the police of
this town and Maynard expressed the
belief that the explosion had been
caused with intent to cripple the plant
VIII Cripple the Plant.
An official of the company said that
1t would take several weeks to install
new machinery, and that until this was
done work would be at a standstiIl.
He pointed out that the glazing mill,
where the powder enters upon its last
stages of manufa cture, is the only part
of the plant whose loss at this time
would stop the output Provision is
made for the occasional explosions
that occur by having duplicate parts in
readiness. out the only other glazing
mill in the plant here was destroyed
by lightning a little more than a month
ago.
Armed Guards Were on Duty.
Armed guards have been stationed
about the works for several weeks, but
the mills are widely separated in an
isolated part Of the town and the
dense woods and shubbery in the vicin-
ity offer easy concealment for anyone
wishing to avoid discovery
