AN INTERESTING STORY
Bangor Correspondent
New York Sun Hears
of German Plot to
Blow Up Mont Blanc

The New York Sun Of December Q
published the following. which speaks
for itself:
Bangor, Nc Dec. S.-A Canadian
officer. who refused to allow his name
to be used, arrived here TODAY from
Halifax and declared that the ranming
OF the steamship Mont Blanc had been
done deliberately by the captain of the
relief ship Iona. He said that the
Mont Blanc had caught fire and the
relief ship tried TO sink her before the
flames could reach the explosive on
board
The officer intimated that the fire on
the Mont Blanc had been caused nv
an incendiary, and that a German plot
to blow up the Mont Blanc had been
discovered.
He entirely discredited the theory
that the explosion on board the Mont
Blanc was the result Of an accidental
collision. He said that the ship caught
fire at her dock. Efforts We're made
to put out the flames. but it soon be-
came evident that before they could he
gotten under control they would reach
the part of the ship which was NUM-
lions laden. Accordingly in an at
tempt to protect the city TO the ut
most the Mont Blanc was lowed away
from the docks and out into the stream
and the seacocks were opened with the
hope of submerging the explosives be-
fore the flames should reach them
When it was found that the ship was
