CBy Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Further sue
cesses by the Tuetonic allies on the low
er line of the Sereth river near it's juno
ton with the Danube, officially reported
Saturday, are partly offset by a human
ian advance and the capture of trenches
Of the Asutro-German forces aloEg the
Moldavian frontier, in the region of the
Kasino river. AT another point on the
Moldavian frontier, north of the Slanic
valley, the invading army delivered a
strong attack and drove the Russians
from height, captureing some machine
guns, mine throwers and TIA men.
Fierce lighting along the lower Sereth
line resulted in the capture by Turkish
troops of the Rumanian town of Nibalee,
northwest of Braila, and 400 men of It's
garrison. Others of the defending force,
attempting to escape, were drowned in
the Sereth. The BulgaTians have taken
a monastery near the confluence of the
Buzen and Sereth rivers.
Heavy fighting is in progress on both
sides of the Oitus valley, in the noun
tains of Moldavia, where strong attacks
by both invaders and defenders were re-
pulsed.
Aside from the Rumanian war theater,
activity was developed in the Riga
sector of the Russo-German front and at
Serre, on the Somme front in France.
A German attack by heavy force south
of Lake Babit, at the northern end OF
the Russian front, was repulsed.
British troops launched a new attack
against Serre and gained a footing in

MUNITIONS PLANT LOST
S16,0O0,0O0 BY BLAZE
Officials of Company Believe
the Fire Was of In GEN.
diary Origin
(By Associated Press. J

NEW YORK. Jan. IA statement
that the fire and explosions which
wrecked the plant of the Canadian Car
and boundary cimpany at KingSland, n.
j. yesterday was possibly, if not prob
ably, of incendiary origin, was issued
here today by the officials of the COM
pany. The total loss, it was said, was
Sic, O0O,O
OF this total, $1O.OOO,OOO consists Of
shells and explosives owned by the Rus
sian government. The rest was in de-
stroyed property of the Canadian Car
and Foundry company, of which half
was covered by insurance.
The eighty-acre ammunition plant Of
the Canadian Car and Foundry company
is a SCARED and blackened ruin
today, swept by flames and ploughed by
bursting shells. The fire that started
there late yesterday afternoon still
smoldered in spots but the firemen who
stood helpless at a safe distance last
night watching the explosion of half
million three and siX-inch shells closed
in on the ruins cautiously.
There have been no official reports of
loss of life, and if all of the l,400 en-
ployes of the plant escaped their safety
is due probably to the fact that short
time interviewed between the discovery
Of the fire and the moment when the
flames reached the stored ammunition.
The loss, estimated at S16,0OO,-
600, is accounted for almost entirely
by the destruction of shells which the
company loads at this plant for the
Russian government The rectangular
enclosure contained between forty and
fifty buildings but these were of flimsy
construction and it is said the company
intended to abandon them in a short
time when it finished it's present con-
tract
FLEE FROM HOMES.
More than coo persons who fled from
their homes surrounding the plant to es-
cape the rain of projectiles were shell
tered and fed last night by the police and
charity officials of neighboring towns.
Some time may elapse before it is known
whether any of the fugitives lost their
lives in the Hackensack marshes through
which many of them plunged in blind
rush for safety.
The flames did not reach the compa-
ny's magazines in which were stored
trinituluol, nitric acid, picric acid and
black powder used in charging the
shells These magazine are situated in
a remote quarter of the enclosure and
carefully protected.
Although the country Immediately sur
rounding the plant was subjected all
night to a terrific compartment the Dam
age was not as great as had been feared
owing to the fact that the shells were
not equipped with detonatins3fuses until
they reached Russia. For this reason the
projectiles came down like solid shots
and did not explode.
Fire was first observed in a room
whore workmen were cleaning the branch
cases of shells in denatured alcohol. 1t
is believed the. flames first burst out
from a tube of alcohol ignited by a
piece of glowing insulation from an cleo
trio wire on the ceiling.

GIANTS AND CHIS0X
 STRONG ON ROAD
Both Clubs Increase Leads in
 National and American

New York, Aug. 6.-Although play ing away from home, New York in the National and Chicago in the Ameri- can League increased their leads last week.
 The opposition to the National League leaders crurnDled and the Giants gained more than 80 points while Philadelphia, Cincinnati and St, Louis were fighting among themselves. Tn the American, Boston continues at Chicagos heels.
 A scare was thrown into the Ameri- can League leaders early in the week when they lost two games in success sion to Boston and went into second place while Barry's men occupied first place for day. The White sox wound up the series in Boston by taking two games, giving them an even break on the four games.
 ] Against Philadelphia the last of the
 week Chicago had little trouble taking , three games. Meanwhile, Boston was
 breaking even in two games with Cleveland.
 Detroit and Cleveland exchanged places twice during the week. which began with Detroit in third place. On Wednesday Cleveland went ahead, to , be passed again Saturday by the Ti- gers. Tho Tigers had a little advan-
 tage on the weeks work, winning
 four out of SIX from Washington and . New York while the Indians were talk ing four out of seven against Phila-
 delpha and Boston.
 Except for the continued success of
 Brooklyn, New York made the best
 mark of the week in the National. The : leaders apparently recovered from their setback of the previous week, ! taking one game from Chicago, four : out of five from Pittsburgh and one out of two from Cincinnati.
 St. Louis and Cincinnati failed com ] pletely to keep up their good work.
 and Philadelphia managed to get back
 within a few points of second place. l St. Louis won only two out of six, and i Cincinnati won its only victory on l Saturday. after losing seven straight
 to Philadelphia. Brooklyn and New York. Philadelphia went into third place ahead of Cincinnati on Tuesday and gained second place, ahead of St. Louis on Thursday. Saturday St. l Louis came back into second place,
 and yesterday Philadelphia became
 runner-up by defeating Chicago while
 St. Louis was dividing a double-head-
 CT with Brooklyn.

ST. MARY'S BEATS COLTS.
New Britain Team Victorious at Hart
 ford Saturday.

The St. Mary's playground baseball team roundly trounced the Colt nine at Colts part in Hartford on Saturday. The hardest worker of the afternoon was not the pitcher nor the catcher. nor any player, or even the bat boy, but the official scorer. When his com putations were complete he had a total of 28 runs marked for the local boys and 27 hits and no less than 13 errors were charged against the Colt team. It was lucky that the local sluggers got tired or they might have been hitting the ball yet.
 On the return home the St. Nary s boys met three local business men who on learning the outcome of the game, bought the boys enough for a big feed and a miniature banquet was held Saturday evening at the club house to celebrate the end of a perfect day. The score:
