A few days ago collision occurred in which 8 wagon, carrying no light, was run into and overturned because the driver of the other vehicle could not see it.

the approaches to the road from Lille, 10
the south OF Thelus, and blew up muni-

al charge of the relief measures In the
city that was swept yesterday by fire
that caused SaO0O.O00 loss and made near
~ 1900 persons homeless.
The King was accompanied on his jour
ney by members of his personal staff
and General Holtfodt, the Norwegian
Minister of Defense.
Martial law was declared In the strick-
en- city today, not because of any out
break of disorder, but to facilitate the

was under control.
Though no lives were lost in the fire,
90 children and II men and women were
frozen TO death or died from exposure
before they could be given shelter Sup
plies for the homeless are lacking, owing
to the fact that all the storehouses In
Bergen were destroyed by the fire, which
swept over the business section and the

Following the train carrying King Haa-
kon there was dispatched from here seven
trains carrying clothing and food for the

Expert Doesn't Blame

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-After two days
investigation by experts, the cause OF the
Internal explosion which killed four men
and injured 10 aboard the submarine e.
is as much of a mystery as 1t was five
minutes after II occurred.
Admiral Usher, commandant, and Com
mander Upham today scoffed at the sug-
gestion that the explosion was the result
of a plot. Upham said naval officials
are convinced the explosion was purely
accidental" He said the Board of In
vestigation resumed hearings today with
no exact knowledge of the explosions
cause.
DR.. Miller Reese Hutchison, Thomas A.
Edison's personal engineering representa-
tive, after making "as careful an inves-
tigation of the interior of the E-2 as pres

lively today that the explosion was not
caused by the E-boat's batteries.

LILLE WITH HUGE
LONG RANGE GUNS
City Twenty Miles Inside
German Lines Effectively
Shelled, Berlin Admits
CANNON EQUAL TO FOES

AMSTERDAM. Jan. II.
Guns TO match the mighty. long-range
howitzers OF the Germans have at. last
reached the Allies front In France. Chief
interest here today centred in the Ger
man announcement that the British have
bombarded Lille, using a gun with a
range estimated at 20 miIes.
This is the first time that Lille has
been under artillery fire since II fell Into
the hands of the Germans in September,
1914
German guns, with a range OF 20 miles,
which were used for the bombardment
Of Dunkirk and Verdun. were hitherto
unmatched on the Allies side, but the
latest developments show that the Ger
mans must now face equal metal.
1t Is regarded as significant that the
English make no announcement of the
Smelling of Lille, while the French War
once states that the Lille highway was
shelled. The German War Office an
nounces that projectiles fell in the centre
of the city.
Lille lies about Is miles behind the
German lines. and derives its Importance
not only from the fact that II Is one
of the most important manufacturing
towns in Northern France, but 1t Is the
centre of the vast network OF transporta-
ton lines the Germans have built up
behind their trenches.
Its capture by the Allies, therefore,
would force the whole German line in
Northern France to fall back The Of
fensive against Lens last fall was aimed
primarily at Lille, which lies to the east
ward. Had Lens been taken, one of the
main lateral communications of the Ger
mans would have been severed and an
avenue opened for q direct attack on
Lille.
