There We're 81 men asleep in the mis-

frame building adjoining the main
structure used for storing ma aga2incs

Arrival of fire apparatus was de-
layed through confusion in turning in
a proper alarm and the entire building
was ahlaze when the firemen reached
it.
Rapid spread of the flames made use
of the only fire escape on the building
impossible and the dodgers, many OF

driven to windows from which they
leaped before firemen could catch
them in nets.
Several of the elderly victims are
believed to have been suffocated III
their sleep. Others who tried to reach

imneded one another in their flight that
they choked the passageway, where
bodies werc found huddled in a heap.
1t WAS reported that about ten OF
the aged lodgers are missing, but as the
cellar of the mission is flooded with
water search for additional bodies is
being retarded.
Those who slept in the third and
fourth floors had no possible chance OF
escape other than by lcaping INFO fir.
nets. The men flocked to windows be j..

Most of the victims were friendIeas

Washington.

Washington, Nov. 4. =
Armed forces under the
American flag have had their
first clash with German sol
diers in an attack which the
Germans made in first line
trenches where the United
States troops had been taken
for instruction, and three
Americans were killed, five
wounded and II captured or
missing.
The war departing mt made this
known tonight on receipt OF n dispatch
from General Pershing showing that
the German forces soon after learning
the position of the new enemy from
overseas. had launched a desperate
effort to overcome them. The Teulon
attack came IN the form of q heavy

are captured or missing.
Many French and British military
writer's have warned America, that
Germany would hurl terrific blows at
the Americans as soon az news OF
their location reached the German side
and when the Americans went into
the trenches war department officials
hero predicted this might happen. IT
was pointed out that this was n fayo-
rite trick of the Germans when the
I:ritish tCrritorials from Canada or
Australia went into the trenches for
the first time.
The announcement from General
Pershing gave no names of the CdSu-
alties. The announcement also omit
ted to mention whether the trench had
been captured. II is presumed, how
ever. that the attacking forces inflicted
as much DANA &C as possible in a short
space of time and then retrcated to
