Arrests Have Been Made,

Chester, Pa, April 1O.-At least 100
persons, mostly girls, were killed and
200 or more injured by an explosion
today in the great munitions plant at
Eddystone, Pa, near here, owned by
the Russian government. There is
suspicion that the blast was not due

At one undertaker's there were 80
bodies, seventy-nine being those of
girls.
Thousands of girls were employed
at the plant, most of them coming
from Philadelphia, 10 miles away.
They were attracted by the high
wages paid.
Two Explosions.
The first explosion occurred soon
after 10 o'clock in the pellet room of
the shrapnel building, where about
I00 girls were putting the finishing
touches on shells. In a building adj
joining approximately 10000 shells
were stored. A second explosion de-
molished this structure
The ruins caught fire but the fire
men, called from surrounding towns,
extinguished the fire after two hours
work. Meanwhile charred bodies
were being pulled from the wreckage
and injured persons taken to Chester,
a mile away. The two main hos
pitfalls of the city were soon filled
and Others injured were taken to an
armory and to frame tabernacle re-
Gently erected here for religious SER
vices.
The plant was originally construct
ed soon after the European war start
ed by Baldwin Locomotive interests.
Recently it was taken over by the
Russian government which has been
employing 10000 workers.

COLT ATTENTION IN SUMMER
Young Animal Should Be Placed in
Dark Stall During Day-Encour-
age Ii to Eat Grain.

The colt should be left in cool,
dark stall during the day if the mare
is worked, asserts DIR. G. w. MctJamp-
bell, associate professor of animal hus-
bandry in the Kansas state agricul-
tural college.
For the first few weeks the mare
should be brought to the barn in the
middle of the forenoon and the middle
of the afternoon and the colt allowed
to suckle. The colt should be left
with the mare at night. Encourage it
to eat as soon as preferably
crushed oats with bran. If oats are
not available a ration consisting of
four parts of corn, three of bran, and
one of 1inseed meal by weight may be
substituted.
Let the colt have clover or alfalfa
hay as soon as he will eat it. See to
it that he has access to cleaA, pure
water at all times. If the mare and
foal are running in the pasture creep
should be made where the colt can
have access to grain.
