GREAT EXPLOSION
PLANNED, PERHAPS

New York. Jan. ia statement that
the fire and explosions which wrecked
the plant of the Canadian Car d Foundry
company at Kingsland. n. j.. yesterday
was possibly il not probably Of in
cendiary origin was issued here to-day
by officials of the company. The total
loss, it was said. was 100000
OF this total $1,000, 900 consists Of shells
and explosives owned by the Russian gov
eminent The rest was in destroyed prop
erty Of the Canadian Car & Foundry COM
pany. of which half was covered by in
surancc.
Until investigation is completed no
further statement will he made as to
what evidences Of inccndia rism have been
found, i, was said by IN official Of the
company.
It was explained that the danger OF fire
or explosions from purely accidental
causes was reduced To n minimum by the
fact that no completed ordinance was or
hand at the plant,
The couparys official statement
says.
IAN examination into the circuin-
stances attending the origin or tho
fire in building No. 30 has created the
impression that 1t is possible. IT NOT
nrobab,e that the fire was OF in
ccodiarv origin The officers of the
companv do not wish to make any
further definite statement with re-
card TO the fire until the investiga-
lions ar. completed
ut Is quito possible that tho build
mrs will not be reconstructed The
entire plant was most carefully guard
ej and every safeguard known &C
ecioncc had been installed. and every
possiblc provision made to sateguaro
he adjoining promises against injur-
les arising from explosions.
THE company had secured !nsuranc>
Ia r,vor Of the inhabitants OF Kings
,ond which we understand will more
,bon cover any loss or damage to
buiIdinrs in that town. The reports
| with regard to the fire are somewhat
cvorrcrpted and sensational

EFTvECTS FELT FOR MILES
There were two distinct explosions, the
force of which was terrific Buildings
were shaken and windows shattered far
out on Long Island and UP the Hudson
| river to Poughkeepsie.
The first explosion was in what is
known as The Glazing Barrel" The fire
which resulted spread quickly to the
blending house and from there to three
magazines. One of the magazines blew
up; the powder in the others was con-
stunned by the flames
The blazing magazines set fire to
the screening house. from which the
flames leaped across Wanaque river
and consumetln three drying houses on
the other sde At this point the fire
was checked by the efforts of the COM
panys employees.
| other buildings in the plant and
many in the village which was built
| in n semi-circle around the works
were shattered by the force of the
conclusion which was by far the most
severe ever experienced at Haskell.
NO ESTIMATE OF LOSS.
No estimate was available of the
number of men at work when the dis
n for
ror caused by the explosions had sub
sided somewhat the companys officials
began rounding up their men to check
up the casualties 1t is feared that
two who were employed in the 'glaz-
ing barrel lost their lives.
Rescue parties were quickly organ
+ ICED to search for the injured and as
soon as they were found they were
taken to the company's private hospi-
tai. All the doctors available were
summoned as were the Franciscan
brothers from Butler. some distance
away.
/ Haskell is situated in remote part
of Passaic county and communication
with it either by telephone or telegraph
ceased after the first explosion. AS a
consequence reports of heavy loss of
life soon were circulated in nearby
places
PEOPLE IN PANIC.
Following so closely on the heels of
the destruction of the Kingsland plant
of the Canadian Car and Foundry COM
pany. the explosion threw all northern
New Jersey into panic. The sky was
. crimsoned by the confagration and the
flames were plainly visible as far way
as Yonkers.
The shock of the explosion was so
great that many persons in New York.
Brooklyn and New Jersey cities fifteen
or twenty miles from Haskell believed
there had been an earthquake. Police
and newspaper offices were beseiged
for information. Strangely enough.
the conclusion seemed to he less severe

express the belief that it is impossible
ut the present moment to attain n peace
that will assure them reparation, res
titution and such garantecs as they
consider are essential
In n separate note. the Belgian epv-
eminent expresses its desire for peace
but declares 1t could only accept n set
Element which would assure it repara-
ton and security in the future.

night. are dated January 10, and were

Sharp at Paris.
French text Of the entente note as
cabled by Ambassador Sharp at Paris.
follow:
THE allied governments have re-
ceivcd the note which was delivered to
them in the name of the government
of the United States on the nineteenth
of December 1916. They have studied
II with the care imposed upon them
both by the exact realization which
they have of the gravity of the homo
and by the sincere friendship which at
taches them to the American people.
WHAT ALLIES DO NOT LIKE.
The allied governments believe tina,
they must protest in the most friendly
but in the most specific manner agains,
the assimilation established in the
American note between the two groups
of belligerents: this assimilation. based
upon public declarations by the central
powers, is in direct opposition to the
evidence, both as regards responsible
ity for the past and as concerns guar
antees for the future; President vii.
son in mentioning 1t certainly had nc
intention of associating himself with
it.
"If there is an historical fact estab.
lished at the present date, it is the
willful aggression Of Germany ant
Austria Hungary to insure theil
hegemony over Europe and their eco.
nomic domination over the world.
TRIBUTE TO U. S. SENTIMENT.
In IA general way they wish to de-
clare that they pay tribute to the eleva'
ton Of the sentiment with which the
American note is inspired and that they
associate themselves with all their hopes
with the project for the creation of 6
league of nations to insure peace ant
Justice throughout the world. But they
believe that it is impossible at the presen
moment to attain a peace which will as
sure them reparation, restitution and sucf
guarantees to which they are entitled b!
the aggression for which the re
sponsibility rests with the central power
| and of which the principle itself tended
to ruin the security of Europe; peace
which would on the o,her hand permi
the establishment Of the future of Ell
ropean nations on a solid basis. The alliet
nations are conscious that they are no
! fighting for selfish interests but above
all to safeguard the independence OF peo
pies. Of right and of humanity.
