LONDON. February 25.-Five million
dollars damage was done and 100 600
windows broken by the explosion in the
east end of London January 10. according
to the current issue of Fire, a technical
publication The building in which the
explosion occurred disappeared. and an
immense crater, 100 feet by so feet deep,
was formed.

the catastrophe" the paper says. Not
only have such structures within the eX-
plosion area wthstood the effect of the
air wave, but they came through the
ordeal OF fire successfully.
THE metallic rods and laths within the
concrete enabled the buildings to give
slightly to the air wave when ii struck
the buildings: the windows caved in.
The reverberating air entered, and, eX-
panding, passed through the opposite
windows, thereby helping TO straighten up
the main structure again, although fire
was left behind. Brick structures col

Not all the 100 600 windows broken

pressure. sufficient to burst out some
windows before the main blast arrived
and blew III the remaining windows
The paper finds that the damage will
not exceed one-tcnth OF the value that

the field marshal was practically an

The obituary notices recall the devo-
ton of Count Zeppelin to the realiZa-

manifested in matchless perseverance,
but lso in the sacrifice of his private
fortune. The papers recall the en-

COUNTRY'S SUPPLY IF GOAL |S AMPLE.
Republican A. P.Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The coal SUD- ply of the country is ample, If we could but solve the problem of transporta- tion," Dr. Harry A. Garfield, United States fuel administratoT declared in an address tonight at the annual meet ing of the Academy of Political Science. Lack of united action on the part of the railroads, separate administration and divided authority added to the diff ficulty, he asserted.
 We are supplying more coal to Cana da than ever before, Dr. Garfield said, but in spite of this fact and the fur ther fact that our demand is larger than ever before the supply is ample if we could but solve the problem of transportation.
 We are ashamed of making mistakes and out of the turmoil will come good order. In spite of the fact that winter is upon us and distress exists, just at time when the supply of coal is con- mencing to move, 1 feel sure that we will be able to solve this great question of fud administration"
 Contracts have been let by the fed eral shipping board for four thousand ships with net dead weight carrying capacity of eight million tons, Ray mond B. Stevens, vice chairman of the board, told the members of the acad- emy. He thought that at least six million tons would be available next year.

ARMY RECRUITING MACHINERY TAXED
 ID FULL CAPACITY
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Recruit- ing machinery of the American army showed signs Of breaking down tonight under the enormous strain put upon it by the thousands of men who have of fered for enlistment within the past few days. In some cases recruiting officers have found themselves without means of accommodating recruits and have been forced to discharge them and close their offices until the men al- ready in their charge can be dis tributed.
 This means that many men of draft age will fail in their effort to enlist before noon tomorrow, after which time they may join the regulars only in their status as members of the national army. Protests against turning the men away have come, one from New Rochelle. N. Y, but war department officials said tonight nothing could be done about it as it was impossible for the recruiting stations to. handle the flood of applications.
 It was pointed out that registered men who do not get into the regular army through the recruiting stations may do so after noon tomorrow by vol unteering through their local boards. Their applications will be acted upon immediately, but they will appear on the. rolls as members of the national army.
 The recruiting list made public today shows a total of 14,291 men accepted yesterday which is s,fopab1y 5000 less than the number taken in, as ten dis tricts failed to report. Indications came that even a greater number ap- piled today. As no quarters were available it was decided at several sta tions to send many of the men home.
 To care for those accepted during the rush it has been necessary to send many to national guard camps or to national army cantonments for tenn porary housing and to make use of hotels. public halls, and all manner of quarters for them in the larger cities
 The navy has been limiting recruit ing for many weeks to a fixed daily
