Belgium Takes Firm Stand.

WashngtOn.-A supplementary Bel
gian note, which accompanied the en-
tente allies reply to President Will
sons peace appeal, pays tribute to the
sentiment of humanity which prompted
the president of the United States to
send his note to the belligerent pow
ers, and declares ardent wish to end
the war. 1t refers to the German treat
ment of Belgium as "barbarOus," and
alleges the former government, after
the occupation of Belgian territory,
displayed no better observance of the
rules of international law or the stlp-
uatiOns of The Hague convention.
The heavy taxation imposed on the
country, and the deportation of Bel
gian workers, are denounced.
1t ends with an expression Of pro-
found gratitude to the commission
for relief as we'll as to the generous
Americans eager to relieve the misery
of the Belgian population.

Twelve Persons Hurt.

New York, Jan. 15.-Four hundred

exploded at the Du POnt Powder
works at Haskell, N. j., on Friday night,
and for the second time in 36 hours
New York, northern New Jersey,
western Connecticut and Massachu-
sets were Jared and frightened by a
munitions disaster. Haskell is 81 miles
northwest of New York city.
Damage estimated at $1,500,000 was
caused by Friday nights series Of
blasts. 1t was said at the offices of
the company Mt midnight that all ex-

ers had been accounted for, and that
II had been injured.
The force of the explosions was felt
for a radius of 100 miles, and with
the exception of the Black Tom dis
aSter last September, they were the
most violent of the munitiOn eXplO-
siOns in the vicinity of New York
since the business grew to gigantic
proportions soon after the start Of the
war in Europe.
Houses were shaken in Manhattan,
Brooklyn and the Bronx, windows
were broken in many places in West
chester county, in Staten island, and
the shocks were felt as far away as
Poughkecpsie, N. Y; Milford, Conn,
and Springfield, Mass.
Following so closely the destruction
Of the Kingsland, N. j., plant of the
Canadian Car and Foundry company
Thursday, the explosion threw all
northern New Jersey into panic. The
sky was crimSOned by the COnhagra-
ton and the flames were plainly Wis
ible as far away as YOnkers.
The total loss suffered by the Rus
sian government and by the Canadian
Car and Foundry company through
the destruction of the big ammunition
plant at Kingsland totals about $17,-
100000, according to statement Is
sued from the New York office of the
Canadian company. The statement in
dicated that the company's loss would
reach $6,OOOOOO, the remainder falling
on the Russian government.
IAN examination into the circum-
stances attending the origin of the
fire." the statement says, has created
the impression that it is possible. if
not probable, that the fire was of in
cendiary origin"
The buildings destroyed were valued
at about $750,000.

Germany Denies Allies, CHARGES.

Berlin.-"We offered peace and

spurned. We shall fight on until that
peace which might have been gained
by diplomacy is won by our sword"
In substance, this is what Germany,
speaking for her allies, Austro-Hun-
gary, Bulgaria and Turkey-told the
neutral world on Thursday.
The note is, in effect, reply to the
ententes rejection of that offer.
THE form in which they clOthe their
communication" says the note, ''eX-
cludes an answer to them" For this
reason that which the central powers
feel they should make known to the
world is told in the message to the
neutralS.
Reiteration of the assertion that the
responsibility for the continuance of
the war does not rest with the central
powers, statement of the central
powers case in the conflict, emphatic
refutatiOn of the accusations made in
the entente's reply to the peace offer
and a renewed expression of "the will
to victory are the main features of
the note.
