It seems to be necessary, to
clear up any doubt, to repeat a
former statement. The editor is
responsible for everything that
appears in this paper, except ar
ticles signed by other names.
Anonymous correspondence goes
in the waste basket. II the
writer is too cowardly to sign
his or her name, we are too cow
ardly to print it. Another point
we want to impress clearly that
the columns of this paper are al
ways open freely to anybody who
wants to criticize the editor, and
they can say all the mean hate
full things they feel the occasion
demands. 1t will relieve the ten
sion on their minds, and will not
disturb the editor in the least.

The cause OF the blast is not known
According to statement issued by
the company the origin will probab-

was the usual rumor afloat that some
outside agency may have caused the
explosion, but Du Pont officials said
last night there was not a shred OF
evidence upon which to hang any

Nearly all the victims of tho blast
were young men between 16 and 2t
years of age The greater number OF
them lived in and about Wilmington.

packing house when the powder went
off, and not enough of any of them
was left for identification, with the

Portland, Me. Four OF the 81 men

ELECTRICAL PROSPERITY
Bringing of Trunk Lines Here II
Keeping With Prosperity Week.

Throughout the nation. this is cleo
trical prosperity week. The idea is
that dealers in electricity, merchants
who handle electrical supplies and
all those who have anything to do
with electricity shall electrify ihe
ceuntry with realization of what
electricity can do in saving yet more
labor in office, factory and home.
Bennington as community is cele
brating by the completion this
month of the trunk lines of high ten
sion wires which will bring the ma
tive Vermont juice under late con-
struction in the Deerfield valley into
Bennington and augment the quanti-
ties manufactured in the local cleo
trio light station. Work for bringing
these wires into the village was be.

The power company will sell the
Juice at wholesale to the local con-
cern at a cheaper rate than they
could manufacture it with coal and
this will not alone provide cheaper
service. but allow heavier drains
and consequent accommodations for
additional manufacturing plants.
In keeping with this movement To-
cal concerns are running special bar

disc and installation offers and prop
erty owners are taking advantage of
the opportunity to have their homes

information given to the State De-
partment, are to be requistioned for
the use of the British Government be-
long to the American Transatlantic
Company, Delaware corporation. or
gapized by Richard Wagner of New
York and Wisconsin. The status of
these vessels has been questioned by
Great Britain, and for time applica-
tions made to the Department OF Com
merce for their transfer to American
registry on prima facie showing
that they wrre owned by an Ameri-
can corporation.
The ships are the Hooking, the
Genesee. and the Kankakee. The in-
formation with reference to the
Hooking came from an attorney of
the American Transatlantic Com
pany at Halifax. to which port the
