Strange sights in Village


Kingsland, N. j., Jan. l2.-Strange
swept area of this village and its out
lands at dawn today.
Men, women and children, weirdly
clad and dragging outlandish bundles,
struggled homeward through the now
intermittent she'll fire from the Ca
madam Car and Foundry plant. Some
of the courage that gave place to ter
ror as they fled from the whistling
shells into the bitter cold, dark night,
had returned.
They had tasted of the experiences
of citizens of shell wrecked towns in
the European war zones.
Over a frosted hillside topped by a
graveyard little procession of men
made their way in the early light. They
were the mounrers, who, when big
shell whined past them as they stood
beside the coffin at the grave, dropped
their burden and fled.
Trudging down the Jersey City road
past fields dotted with spent shells,
went two young women, thinly and
none too completely clad. One had a
Ibabe in arms; the other staggered be-
meath a small mountain of bedding.
"Where are you going?'' they were
asked
"Away from here the woman with
the babe spoke. She said she didn t
know exactly where, but any place
else would do. Her husband, she knew
nothing of. Both had worked in the
she'll factory and both had fled, panic
stricken by different routes.
Asked where her home was, she said
she had not had much of home any
how, so it made no difference.
A little further on stood a road
house and smashed windows told their
own story of what had happened there.
Inside, behind the bar, stood jolly,
rotund Frank Briniski, laughing at
what he called his "baby visitors -
three long shrapnel cases ranged nose
~ on the bar.
"I am not long from Poland, :"
laughed Frank, "and | am coming here
to get away from war. This-oh, this
nothing. +"
Crashl Zoom! Plunkl
Another "baby'' shot through the
window and landed among the report
ers. directly in front Of the big Pole,
but did not "speak."
"Damn!'' yelled Frank. His ejacu.
lation was emphasized by a second
bang and a crash like lumber yard
had collapsed outside.
"There goes my house porch, = yelled
Frank "It was joke, but it makes
me mad now"
He numbered out to see the wreck
and a slight, shivcring little man came
out from behind the stove. He wore a
cap, undershirt, trousers and shoes. He
was much bedraggled and appeared TO
have been immersed in water not long
since.
81 was working in the shell room
when the explosion came, he reclted;
"and rushed to the window and

He lit in the Hackensack river, crash.
ing through the ice and floundering a.
round with Others until he was dragged

Greece Must Answer
Definitely Without Delay

London, Jan. 12.-Greece must return
more definite answer to the allies ulti-
matum. An authoritative report today
was that such demand had been eabled
TO Athens, acquiescence in which would
be necessary before the allied blockade
of Greece would be raised.
An instance of the "vagueness and
indefiniteness" of the Greek communi-
cation stating that governments ac-
quieseence in the recent allied ultima
tum, the fact was pointed out today
that this note failed to specify when
release of imprisoned Venizelists would
be ordered.

yet been attached to the high explos-
i've shells, the property damage in the
vicinity of the plant would have been
much heavier and the loss of life would
probably have been great. The shrapnel
shells exploded, scattering bullets broad
cast. The high power shells merely
shot up in the air, however, and fell
without exploding. They would have
done heavy damage had they let go.
Upwards of 800 men, women and chill.
dren were cared for bv the authorities
of Jersey City and other surrounding
towns last night. All were routed from
their homes at Kingsland Immediately
the fire and explosions started. Some
slept in school houses, others in private
homes and many women were cared for
at hospitals.
Red Glare Lights Sky
Throughout last night a red glare
lighted the sky of the Jersey shore. Up
to midnight great puffs of smoke fol-
lowed by terrific explosions told Of
go.
In all about five hundred thousand
shells were destroyed. They were the
last of an $S3,000,000 order the car
and foundry company had taken from
the Russian government. The last shells
completi-- the order would have been
finished this week. The shells which
bombarded Kingsland and the surround
ing territory were about half shrapncl
and half of high explosive type.
Investigation Starts
Mayor Clay of Kingsland, the coun-
ty authorities and officials of the com
pany started an investigation today
Clay declared it had been virtually es-
tablished that the fire and subsequent
explosions were caused by an electric
wire falling into vat. This started
blaze. The fire quickly spread anC
within a short time the first explosive,
were reached. In rapid succession tn,
80 frame buildings comprising the
plant were set ablaze and the explo
be heard for miles.
With the issuance of orders for the
people of Kingsland to leave theil
homes, the police were instructed to
shoot down possible looters who refus
ed to surrender upon command. About
so arrests were made. Most of those
taken into custody, however, were mere
| ly suspects and were released today.
Permits were also issued today fol
the inhabitants of Kingsland to return
to their shell-wrecked homes. Only foul
houses in the town were destroyed by
fire but none escaped the shelling which
came from the plant.
Scores of employees who were in the
plant when the fire started were still
being placed in hospitals today. They
were suffering mostly from exposure
In the wild panic which followed the
first burst of flames and the first ex
plosion men began leaping from the
windows of the plant. They fell into
the river along which the sheds were
