DYNAMITE BLAST KILLS
TWO PERSONS AT ST. LOUIS
Many Others Are Injured and Thirty
Houses Demolished by Sewer
Explosion.

ST. Louis, March AT least two
persons are known to have been killed
and twenty-eight injured, seven OF
them seriously, when five cases OF dy-
Mantle stored at Maplewood for sewer
construction work exploded on Mon
day Maplewood is a suburb of about
5000 people, adjoining ST. Louis on
the southwest.
Approximately thirty houses, most
of them frame, were demolished by
the explosion, and many other houses
were damaged. Windows were broken
for fifteen blocks.
Searching parties explored the ruins
for more bodies, which it was feared
had been buried in the wreckage.
The powder house in which the dy-
Mantle was stored belonged to the
Cooney Construction company, which
is building sewer in Maplewood to
connect with a st. Louis sewer.
First reports were that the explo-
sion had resulted in an appalling loss
of life and that 100 had been injured.
All available ambulances and patrol
wagons In st. Louis and four fire com
panies were rushed to 1aplewood.
The cause of the explosion is not
known. A hole sixty feet in diameter
and fifteen feet deep was torn in the
ground by the blast, which was heard
several miles away.

SUbSEA WAR OPENS
ON BRITISH SHIPPING
German Submarines Resume
Work on Scheduled Time.
TWO STEAMERS DESTROYED
All Members of Crew of the Thornsby
Killed or Drowned, Says Official
Announcement Given Out
at Lond. IN.
TWO STEAMERS DESTROYED

London, March 3-Germany's sub
marine war against British shipping,
as threatened in the warning notice to
the United States government, was
opened on scheduled time The
kaiser's sea offensive against the Brit
ish was set to go into effect at mid
night and before noon word had been
received of the torpedoing of two mer-
chantment. They were the Thornsby,
1882 tons, and the Malvina, 1924
tons.
1t is announced on Wednesday that
all the members of the crew of the
Thornsby were killed by the attack
or drowned.
The dispatch which reported the
destruction of the Malvina off the
Kentish coast did not mention the fate
of the crew.
The Thornsby hailed from West
Hartlepool and was built in 1889. She
was engaged in the freight trade.
The Malvina hailed from Leith. She
was an old vessel, having been built
in 1879
From the speed with which the new
German submarine war was launched
in British waters it was evident that
submarines had been sent out in ad-
vance with orders to begin attacks as
soon as any enemy ships were sighted
today
The German notice of the fresh of
fensive against English shipping had
stated that armed merchant ships
were to be attacked without notice,
but there was nothing to show that
the Thornsby and Malvina bore guns
News of the sinking of the ships
aroused the greatest anxiety in ship
ping circles and insurance rates were
Immediately raised.

NEW LAW A BENEFIT
EMPLOYMENT OF SUPERVISING
TEACHERS PROVES VALUABLE.
Eighty-one Workers Already Are In
the Field investigating
Rural Schools.

Madison.-That the law passed by
the 1915 legislature providing for the
employment of supervising teachers
for rural schools is of real benefit is
indicated byt experiences of workers
already in the field.
Aside from the immediate improve
ment of the schools, the new law opens
up a field of investigation and report
that must in the end be of lasting
benefit
Interesting information in regard to
the working of the law is found in the
special supervising teachers number
of the Educational News Bulletin, a
publication issued by the office of the
state superintendent of schools.
The law went into effect late in the
summer of 1915, and because of the
necessity of organization not much in
the way of results was expected for
that year. Before the arrival of the
Christmas holidays, however, eighty
one supervising teachers had begun
state Question blanks were sent by
Supt Cary to these teachers to find
out what work had been accomplished.
MANY counties reported interesting
methods and results which could not
be reduced to figures the News Bull
letin says. "All replies, however, gave
statistical information as to the
schools visited. Some of the results
showed excellent work on the part of
supervising teachers, while others
showed opportunity for further i'm
provement.
Seven of the teachers had visited
100 per cent of the schools in their
districts. A total of 1854 schools had
been visited.
