FURNISH DYES TO FRENCH

PARIS-The dyes for the horizon blue uniforms of the French army, substituted for the old dark blue and red since the war began, have been furnished by German firm, accord ing to the Oeuvre F'rancaise. The matter with which the material for the famous red trousers of the Fr II h in fantry were dyed had long before the war been re- placed by German aniline dyes, but it was not suspected until lately that the Germans could be interested in the horizon blue dye that has been furnished by a house in Basel, Switzerland; with a name that was partly French and partly of German consonance. The Oeuvre Francaise ,now declares that all the rights and patents of that firm have been owned for a long time by a firm in Berlin.

PHILADELPHIA. April TO- One
hundred and one munition workers,
mostly girls between 16 and 19 years
old. were killed, and approximately
400 injured, by series OF explosions
which wiped out the nine buildings of
the Eddistone Ammunition Corpora

day. The monetary loss is compare

tom. United States secret service men
we're rushed to the scene, and Il IA
reported that several arrests have al
ready been made.
There were three distinct, but al
most simultaneous. explosions about
ten o'clock this morning. In response
to calls for help. doctors and ambu-
lances were rushed from several sur
rounding towns and cities TO the Ioca-
ton OF the munitions factory. Chaos
reigned all about the site. Dead and
injured were scattered about the
wreckage. Burning hair and flesh
produced stencil which almost over
powered the rescuers, who faced the
greatest difficulties of every sort.
The disaster of this morning is the
heaviest by far which has yet befallen
an American munitions plant. How
the explosions were produced is not
yet explained. Some O. the victims
we're blown to bits by the principal
concussions. while others were killed
and wounded as shells burst while
they were fleeing from the danger as
best they might. The commotion was
described as sounding like an artillery
action on an European battlefield.
The plant OF the Edistone corpora
ton employed $500 persons. Since
1t was built, the factory had shipped
thousands of tons OF war munitions
TO Russia.
Several OF the wounded girls made
dying requests that the last rites OF
their church might be administered
and clergymen risked their lives go
ing into the smouldering ruins to COM
fort the dying.
Later. II appears that many victims
were trapped by fire which broke out
almost Immediately after the explo-
sions.
