CRASH UPSETS
CITY In SLEEP
Thousands in Panic
Flee Beds for Glass
StreWn Streets.

Reused from its sleep by a crash
such as New York has seldom, IL ever,
experienced, the city received yester-l
day morning a more adequate impress
sion of what London is like on those
nights when the Zeppelins raid than IL
has hitherto enjoyed.
There was all the excitement, much
of the hysteria and fully as much mys-
terv as ever London experienced under
war conditions, and it was not until
nearly dawn that most of the city knew
what had happened.
The city, all except its army OF loo'-
900 night workers, and the Tenderloin'
where sleep never comes, was slumDer-
ing. Below City Hall Park the city
was dead, and Park Row was preparing
to call it a day. Here and there
lonely policeman was pounding post,
wondering if the streetcar strike would
spread and deprive him Of more rest
Only the milkmen and the newspaper
delivery wagons were hustling about
Then the Explosion.
That was the city's condition at 2:OT
o'clock. A minute later there was
heavy crash and the island rocked from
end to end. Skyscrapers, whose foun-
dations anchor them TO the living rock,
swayed; glass rained into the streets
until sidewalks and car tracks were
literally paved with it; the heavens
glared with flame, while acrid odors
assailed the nostrils and explosion
after explosion drummed in the ears.
Instantly all New York was awake.
The glare in the sky told OF an I'M.
mense blaze somewhere; the repeated
explosions that il could not be an
earthquake; that early reports Of bomb
outrages, seemingly localized, could
not be correct, and that somewhere an
immense amount Of ammunition was
being destroyed-how,n nobody knew.
Nor could any one tell. Least of all,
Police Headquarters, which was oom-
barded by phone calls from every sec
ton of the city, telling of damage
where the caller did not ask for IN
formation. These reports OF damage
came from widely scattered sections,

Of bomb explosions was considered.

RAILROAD BLAMES
INDEPENDENT BARGE

The following statement was
issued yestcrday,from the othces
OF the Lchigh Valley Railroad;
Thirteen brick storage ware
houses out of the twenty-tour
owned and operated by the Ma
tional Storage Company, and SIX
piers owned by the storage com
pany and leased to the Lehigh
Valley Railroad. were destroyed
Several others of the brick ware.
houses were badly damaged and
som. minor damage was done to
the Lehigh Valleys grain eleva-
tor. In addition, as far as is
known, eighty-fve loaded cars
were destroyed.
According to the evidence on-
tanned by the officials OF the rail-
road company, the FIRE started at
LOS this morning in a barge be-
longing to an independent tow
ing company, which had been
moored alongside the railroad
companys docks expressly
against orders.
M. r. Henley, night general
ward master for the New York
division of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, was on the pier when
the FIRE started. He says the ex-
plosion, which occurred at 2:o8,
was on the barge where the hre
started.
Mr.. Henley's first thought was
to remove the loaded cars on the
pier from the danger zone. he
saws that when he reached the
end of the pier the barge was
burning fercely all over and the
fire was beginning to communi-
cate itself to some Of the cars
nearest the barge. Two long cuts
of cars were successfully re-
moved from the danger zone be-
fore the rapidly spreading hre
engulfed the balance.
As yet it has not been definite
" determined just what the
money loss will be. Some 10000
tons of raw sugar, valued at ap-
proximately s3,40o,ooo, is known
to be lost, but it is believed that
the other contents OF the ware
houses destroyed will greatly in
crease this amount.
There were no explosives
stored in the warehouses and in
but two Of the cars destroyed.
These cars were loaded with
shrapnel, which would not have
been a source of danger but for
the outside FIRE. The other cars
destroyed were loaded principal
ly with salt and borax.
The scene of the explosion
and FIRE is in no way adjacent to
the main passenger and freight
terminals Of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad at either New York or
Jersey City, and the mishap will
not interfere in any way with
the operation Of business.

is typical OF the liberty Of America.
We wanted TO keep it aglow. When
the men returned with the news that
the beacon still burned we didn't cheer
but we felt like it,"
For two full hours the storm OF
shrapnel con Dtinued to burst from the
lighter over the island and the seven
teen buildings that are on it. Through
it all the great bronze body of the
statue stood practically unharmed, al
though its stone base was SCARED and
cracked. 1t is feared the foundation
may have to be rebuilt.
There were sixty-seven army ofhcers
and enlisted men, thirty women and
twenty children on the island For
what seemed an eternity of terror 10
them they huddled against the wall OF
the statue until at last ferryboat,
sent from Governors Island, braved the
perils of the strange bOmbsrdment and
came TO their rescue.
A cheer went up from the little group
as the ferryboat came into the eastern
landing. Then, still on the protected
side of the ,tatue, the women and chill
dren were rushed aboard to safety. No
man boarded her, and when daylight
broke on the scene OF destruction on
the island every soldier was on duty.
Every building on Bedloe's Island
was damaged. A new warehouse, com
pleted only two weeks ago, was demol-
ished. All the officers houses were
wrecked. No one on the island was
severely hurt.
A heavy anchor chain, which took
three soldiers to lift 1t, was hurled
from the lighter, and was found, yes
terday afternoon, sunk three feet into
the earth.
TO the rain of shrapnel was added
pieces OF railroad ties and sections OF
twelve box cars on the bombarding
lighter. Many tin cases Of shrapnel-
each holding twenty-four bombs were
belched bodily from the lighter, some
striking the ground without exploding.
Captain Clifton's home. after the
explosions and the bombardment, was
a fair example of what occurred IN
the homes of the eight other commits
stoned and non-commissioned officers.
Nearly all of the windows were blown
out-lifted with their frames and
hurled bodily from the walls. All the
windows on the side Of the house fac
inc Black Tom were blown inside;

ALLIES WIN ON

Somme Offensive.
Bv ARTHUR S. DRAPER.

London, July 3O.-The joint Anglo
French drive was resumed on seven
mile front north Of the Somme TINS
morning. and all along the line from
Delvillc Wood to the river the Ger
mans were driven back from a quarter
to half of a mile.
Desperate counter attacks were re-
pulsed, all the ground taken was held'
and as a result tonight the British
lines are TO the east Of the Waterlot
farm and the Trones wood, just under
tho EDGE of Guillemont, and the French
have cleared the Monacu farm
Hem, the wood and quarry north OF It,
and have reached the outskirts Oh
Maureuas. The Allies tok over 45O
prisoners and inflicted heavy losses.
II was TO the French that the bulk
of the days honors fell. Charging IN
the early morning, they drove the Ger
mans from complete system OIL
trenches five miles long. and in places
half mile deep. There had been the
usual heavy artillery preparation, and
thew found little left of the German
trenches which they could turn to their
own use. But they Immediately dug
in. and when tn eferce counter at
tacks came were ready. The fighting
is reported desperate, particularly near
the Monacu farm.

The DAVIS successes menace the Der

tbe German lines there. IT, French

thew have Strengthened and cleared
tbeir lines north of the river, in the
direction from which their final attack

attack, and the British raids around
Ypres and Loos, forecast wlder OF
fensive than has yet taken place, mill,
tary experts here believe. General
Haig's emphasis on the severity OF the
British gunfire is particularly interest
ing. because it is an open secret that
the British output Of guns and ammu-
