FIRE At MUNITI0N
PLANT INCENDlARY
TOTAL LOSS WILL
REACH $l6,000,000
Of This Amount $4,000, 900
Was in Shells Belonging to
; Russia No One Killed.

NEW YORK. Jan. ia statement
that the fire and explosions wnlch
wrecked the plant of the Canadian
Car & Foundry company at Kingsland,
\. j., yesterday, was possibly, if not
probably, OF incendiary origin" was
issued here today by the officials of
the company. The total loss, it was
said, was $16,000.000.
OF this total, S1O.000,000 consists OF
shells and explosives owned by the
Russian government. The rest was in
destroyed property Of the Canadian
Car 6 Foundry company, OF which
half was covered BY insurance.
Until investigation Is completed no
further statement will be made as TO
what evidence OF incendiarism have
been found, 1t was said by an officer
Of the company.
It was explained that the danger OF
fire or Of explosions from purely accl-
dental causes was reduced TO min
imum by the fact that no completed
ordnance was on hand al the plant.
The officer said the propelling charges
for the shells were not attached until
they reached the battlefield and that
the same was true as to the deton-
ating caps by which the trinitrotuluol
in the shell bodies is exploded. The
explosions heard during the fire, he
said, were caused BY the melting and
expansion from the heat of the tr!ni-
trotuluol blowing Off the temporary
caps screwed in. the place for the
tPetonating caps.
The statements said that so far as
is known no one was killed or ser
iously injured as a result OF the hre
and explosions.

NEXT MOVE FOR
PEACE UNDECIDED
WILSON DISCUSSES THE
MATTER WITH. C.ABINE, I
Officials Decline to Give Out
Any Statements-Belleve
Door is Still Open.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. t.
The attitude Of President Wilson TO
ward the replies Of the warning ma
tions to his suggestion that an oppor
tunity bn given for comparing peace
terms remained undetermined tonight
Preliminary discussion or the question
was begun at to-day'S cabinet meeting
and at conferences between the rreSi
dent and Secretary Lansing and be
tween the President and tol. f.. NJ
House. who spent the day al the
White House.
Informally, officials expressed the
opinion that the problem facing the
President is how to reconcile the con
dieting attitude Of the Central powers
and the Entente allies on the question
of comparing terms. The Central pow
.rs having offered to discuss peace al
4 conference Of representatives OF the
oelligerents, and the Entente powers
though virtually declining TO agree to
4 conference. having given their broad
;erluS publicly. it was suggested that
the President might seek a new meth
cd Of having terms compared.
In his original note he said he was
Indifferent as to the means employed
10 secure this desired end. and it was
thought he now would avoid putting
himself in tn epoSition OF advocating
:. particular method. In one admins
ration quarter it was suggested that
one or more European neutrals might
urge Germany and her allies to make
.;ublic their peace terms. and others
thought it possible that a voluntary
statement might be forthcoming from
Berlin after the text Of the Entente
reply had been haided to the foreign
nffice for its information by Ambassa
dor Gerard. So far it is understood
me note has not been transmitted tC
American diplomats in the Teutonlc
countries, although it is generally as
stunned that this, will be the first SteL
actually taken by the United States
Secretary Lansing broke his silence
Today, only 10 say definitely that nc
action had yet been taken.
Early Place Unlikely
It Is generally agreed everywhere
;hat the nature Of the terms OF the
Entente with the intimat1ons from
Germany that such terms cannot be
accepted, make an early peace unlike
ly. The preliminary view Of the ad
!ninistration however, still is that the
door to discussion was not entirely
closed.
In.t the German view here 1t rests en-
.irely with the President whether
there will be further negotiations at
this time. 1t Is regarded as certain
that the Germanic allies will consider
any proposition Mr.. Wilson may make,
and that they probably would be will
ing even to discuss in a conference
with their enemies the conditions stat
ed in the Entente reply:
At the same time II is reiterated
that Germany and her allies never,
upon any consideration would. accept
such terms and should tho agree to
inter conference to discuss them Ii
would be with the idea that the En-
tente might recede from its position
in this connection the Germans e&'
Iress the belief that the Entente set
forth in its note the objects it de-
sires to achieve rather than the only
feonA,uad an Pnre TwelveS

ACTION DELAYED ON
IMMIGRATION BILL

; WASHINGTON, Jan. II. - Final
action on the immigration bill was
DELAYED in the house today BY point
of order against the action OF the con-
ference committee in fixing a new
effective date. The measure was re-
ferred back to the confereeS who prob
ably will make new report 10 both
houses tomorrow with the effective
date changed to May ], 1917. as 1t was
fixed by the senate. Prompt accept
ance of the report is expected ana me
much discussed bill. already passed by
both houses by overwhelming major
tiles, probably will go to the president
early next week.
As it passed the house last year.
the bill was to have become effective
July l, 1916. When il was Ia ken up
BY the. senate an amendment was
adopted making the date May |, 1911.
The confcrees decided that this would
not give sufficient time for prepara.
tions TO put the law into operation
and changed the date to July l, 1911.
The senate accepted the change with
out notice. but when the report came
before the house today Representative
Bennett Of New York raised the point
OF order and WAS reluctantly sus-
tanned by Speaker Clark.
The speaker uverruled 4 point Of
order made by Representative Gard
ner of Massachusetts against the
action Of the conrerceS in framing the
new clause in the Asiatic exclusion
section to meet the objection Of the
state department that the, original
language was offensive TO Japan.

REPORT BIG BATTLE
ON WESTERN FRONT
BERLIN ASSERTS BIG
ENGAGEMENT IS ON
British Report Mentions Only
Raidlng Operations
Quiet in East.

While Berlin asserts that infantry
engagements are in progress north
of the River Ancre in France, the Brit
ish official communication dlsmisses
the situation in that area by merely
reporting the capture of an additional
small number of prisoners, apparent
ly as the result Of a patrol raid. Ber-
lin credits the British with two attacks
in this sector, and adds that the fight
there continues.
The British have been successful in
raids north Of Arras and the French
have captured prisoners in sortie III
the Vosges.
In the Oituz valley, in MoldaVia, The
Austro-Germans continue TO advance
against the Russians and Rumaniars.
while in the Suchitza valley they re-
pulsed attacks by the Russians. Ru-
manian troops attacked the Austro.
Germans in the Kassina valley and
drove them back more than a mile.
Petrograd states.
The forces Of Field Marshal Won
Mackensen, while apparently inactive
around Fokshani, are reported TO be
latz. The Russians have been pushed
back further toward the Sereth and
the town of Laburtea has been taken.
Around Riga, on the northern end
Of the eastern front, the fighting ap.
parrently has died down to isolated
attacks. Neither Petrograd nor Ber-
lin in their latest communications re-
cords any great activity in this re-
gion.
At sea the Entente Allies have SUI
fered additional losses. The sinking

GERMAN MOVEMENTS
ARE BADLY HAMPERED

BERLIN, Jan. IL (by wireless 10
Sayville, \. Y.)-The advance OF The
Austro German troops cross the
wooded Carpathians into Moldavla Is
being hampered by the unfarorabie
condition OF the terrain. In discussing
the campaign in Moldaria, the mill
lary critic of the Overseas News
agency says:
simultaneously with the capture
Of the southern bank of the Ser'th
from the Russians, German and AUS
tro Hungarian troops are pushing
ahead irresistibly across the Carpa!h'
ians into Moldavia. The fighting
ground there is made up OF narrow
canyons, snow-covered mountain sum-
mitts and impenetrable forests.
Cannon must be lowered into The
gorges by ropes and then lifted up IN
the same manner on the otner slde:
Ammunition and food must be carried
mostly on the backs of the soldiers.
There has also been bad weather and
snowstorms and the temperature has
reached fifteen degrees below zero.
The achievements of these troops
must be considered among the great
est of the war for, in spite Of all the
difficulties, they are pushing the
enemy back step by step.
THE troops of the central powers
already have reached the outlet from
the mountains, where the Russians
and Rumanlans in prepared positions
are attempting vainly to bring the ad-
vance 10 standstill. The southern
wing in the Putna and Suchitza val.
