$4,000, 600 LOST
when MUNITIONS
PLANT IS BURNED

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE eighty
acre ammunition plant of the Canadian
Car and Foundry company, near
klngsland, N. j., is a SCARED and
blackened ruin today, swept by flames
and ploughed by bursting shells. The
fire that started there late yesterday
afternoon still smouldered in spots,
but the firemen who stood helpless
at safe distance last night watching
the explosion of half a million of three
and six inch shells closed in on the
ruins cautiously. There have been no
official reports of loss of life, and if
all of the 1,400 employees of the plant
escaped their safety is due probably
to the fact that short time inter-
vened between the discovery of the
fire and the moment when the flames
reached the stored ammunition.
Loss is $4,o00,ooo.
The loss estimated at more than
$4,000,000 is accounted for almost en-
tirely by the destruction of shells
which the company loads at this plant
for the Russian government. The
rectangular enclosure contained be-
tween forty and fifty buildings, but
these were of f1imsy construction, and
it is said, that the company intended
to abandon them in short time when
1t finished it's present contract.
More than 1000 persons who fled
from their homes surrounding the
plant to escape the rain of projectiles
were sheltered and fed last night by
the police and charity officials of
towns. 1t is believed that
the flames first burst out from a tub
of alcohol ignited by piece of glow
ing insulation from an electric wire on
the ceiling.

PRESS STANDS
BACK Of NOTE
FROM ALLIES

PARIS, Jan. 12.-The morning
papers are unanimous in their approx
al of the reply OF the allies to Presi
dent Wilson's note, the only difference
being in the terms of expression. Al
fred Capus, editor of the Figaro. says:
"The principal value Of the note is the
clear and solemn declaration of the
allies as to their objects in pursuing
the war.
TT is the first time they have been
thus grouped and their full moral
worth, given to them by their simple
enumeration, forces upon the mind the
conviction of their necessity. Either
they will be fully attained or Germany
will be a continual menace to Europe
and, upon the first opportunity, will
again turn it into field of carnage.
Our enemies are now in possession of
our true aims. They can compare
them with their own and deduce there
from the degree of our resistance and
our implacable resolve to vanquish
them"

our citizens; and like Oceola, we
fight for liberty and the safety of our

We are all proud of the magnificent

Editor Star: Please bend every
effort to creating a spirit of rivalry
in your county organization so that
your workers will go out during food
week with a determination that your
county will make the best record of
any county in Florida.
Mr.. Braxton Beacham and Mr.. C.
A. Tutewiler, state director of pub
licity for Florida, have issued chal-
lenge through the Washington Office
that Florida's record in the food
pledge card enrolment campaign will
be greater in proportion to population
than any other state in the Union.
Today / am advised in a telegram
from the Washington Office that Cal
ifornia, Oregon, Texas, Wyoming
and Idaho have accepted Florida's
challenge and claim that they will
beat US, in some instances, two to one.
1t is up to the county organizations
now to see that Florida's record JUS
titles the confidence which Mr.. Beach
am and the state campaign commit
tee have in our local organizations
and the patriotism and loyalty of the
people of Florida.
The splendid assistance that the
county organizations are rendering in
this work is deeply appreciated by
the food administration and l sincere
ly hope we can make the campaign in
Florida a big success.
Cordially yours,
Leroy Hodges,
Campaign Director.
