the two groups of belligerents: this assimilation. based upon public declar- ations by the central powers. is in direct opposition to the evidence, as regard responsibility for the past and as concerning guarantees for the fu- ture; President Wilson in mentioning it certainly had no intention of as- sociating himself with 1t.
 If there is any histogical fact es- tahlished at the present date. 1t Is the willful aggression of Germany and Austria-Hungary to insure their hege- mony over Europe an dtheir economic domination over the world. Germany proved by her declaration of war. by the immediate violation of Belgium and Luxemburg. and by her manner of conducting the war. her simulat- ing contempt for all principles of hu- manity and all respect for small states: as the conflict developed the attitude of the central powers ansf their allies has been a continual de- fiance of humanity and civilization. It is necessary to recall the horrors which accompanied the invasion of Belgium and Serbia, the atrocious re- zine imposed upon the invaded coun- tries, the massacre of hundreds of thousands of inoffensive Armenians. the barbarities perpetrated against the populations in Serbia. the raids of Zeppelins on open towns. the de- struction by submarines of passenger steamers and of merchantmen even under flags. the cruel treatment in- fiicted upon prisoners of war: the of Captain Fryatt. the deportation and the reduction to slavery of civil popu- lations, etc. The execution of such series of crimes perpetrated with out any regard for universal repro bation fully explains to President Wilson the protest of the allies.
 They consider that the note which they sent to the United States in reply to the German note will be a response to the questions put by the American government. and according to the exact words of the latter. con stitute a public declaration as to the condition upon which the war could be terminated
 President Wilson desires more: he desires that the belligerent powers openly affirm the objects which they seek by continuing the war: the al- lies experience no difficulty in reply ing 10 this request. Their objects in the war are we'll known. They have formulated on many occasions by the chiefs of their divers governments.

Erratic Pittsburger Slashes His Throat and His Wrist in a Philadelphia House While Police Search Country.
WOUNDS DECLARED
 NOT TO BE FATAL
Millionaire Will Be E.xtradited to New York as Soon as He Is Able to Get Out of the Hospital-Says Nothing.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. II. - Harry , Kendall Thaw, under indictment in New York together with two so-called body guards for an alleged attack on Frederick Gump. Jr., a l9-year-old high school boy of Kansas City, in a New York hotel last Christmas. at tempted suicide in a house at 5260 Walnut Street, West Philadelphia, to- day while the police of virtually every city in the east were searching for him as a fugitive from justice.
 Thaws attempt at self destruction was a sensational climax to a hunt which began here on Tuesday, fol- lowing the announcement by District Attorney Swann, of New York. of the latest episode in the cratic career of the wealthy Pittsburger which reached it's zenith in the killing of Stanford White at Madison Square Roof Garden, and later when he es- caped from Matteawan asylum.
 Through counsel in Pittsburg and New York Thaw had made arrange ments with private detective in this city, acting for the Thaw interests in Pittsburg to surrender himself to- night to District Attorney Swann in New York. after preliminary matters had been formally undertaken with the local authorities.
 He had agreed. according to Sam uel G. Maloney. representing pri- vate detective agency in this city, to return to New York and go through with the ordeal of another trial rather than let the police catch him and treat him like an ordinary pris- oner"
 Thaw regarded the "Gump charges" on which three indictments charging assault. as an attempt to black mail him, the detective said. Thaw eashed himself with a razor belong ing to the husband of Mrs Elizabeth Tacot in whose home he was known as "Mr. West" He had been there since last Tuesday, when news of the indictments and the issuance of bench warrant in New York be- came known. He slashed his throat twice. which required thirty stitches to close. and also hacked the artery of his left wrist Had the wound in his neck been one-eighth of an inch deener he could not have lived. ac- cording 10 physicians. Several poison tablets were found in Thaw's pocket.
 Tonight Thaw was reported rest ing easily in a hospital Dr Elwood Kirby. chief medical director at the hospital and Thaw's private phvsi- elan in this city stod tonight that Thaw's injuries were not likely to prove fatal and that he expected him fully to recover within a week or two
 Thaw was unconscious when discov- cred by Mrs. Tacot with a blood stained razor on the floor beside his hodv. He remained in that condition until his arrival at the hospital Re storatives brought him to semi-con- s"ious condition and his mind appear cd to be wandering, according to Dr. Kirby.
 Some time later Detective Lieut. Wood assured by the physicians that his condition was not serious enough to necessity an ante-mortum state

The translation of the French text of the entente note, as cabled by Ambassador Sharp, at Paris, follows:
 "The allied governments have re- ceived the note which was delivered to them in the name of the govern
 ment of the United States on the 18th of December, 1916. They have studied 1t with the care imposed upon them both by the exact realization which they have of the gravity of the hour and by the sincere friendship which attaches them to the American people.
 Tn general they wish to declare that they pay tribute to the elevation of the sentiment with which the Am erican note Is inspired and that they associated themselves with all their hopes with the project for the crea- tion of a league of nations to insure peace and justice throughout the world. They recognize all the advan- tages for the cause of humanity and civilization which the institution of international agreements. destined to avoid violent conflicts between nations would prevent; agreements which must imply the sanction necessary to insure their execution and thus to prevent an apparent security from only facilitating new aggressions. But a discussion of future arrangements destined to insure an enduring peace pre-supposes a settlement of actual conflict, the allies have as profound a desire as the government of the United States to terminate as soon as possible a war for which the cen tral empires are responsible and which infiicts such cruel sufferings upon humanity But they believe that 1t is impossible at the present moment to attain a peace which will assure them reparation. restitution! and such guarantees to which they are entitled by the aggression for which the responsibility rests with the central powers and of which the principle itself tended to ruin the se- curity of Europe; peace which would on the other hand permit the establishment of the future of Euro pean nations of solid basis. The allied nations are conscious that they are not fighting for selfish interests but above all to safeguard the inde- pendence of peoples, of right and of humanity
 "The allies are fully aware of the losses and suffering which the war causes to neutrals as well as to bel ligerents and they deplore them; but they do not hold themselves respon- sible for them. having in no way either willed or provoked this war. and they strive to reduce these dam age in the measure compatible with the inexorable exigencies of their de- fense against the violence and the wiles of the enemy.
 Tt Is with satisfaction. therefore, that they take note of the declara- tion that the American communica- tion is nowise associated in it's origin with that of the central powers. trans mitted on the 18th of December by the government of the United States. They did not doubt, moreover. the resolution of that government to avoid even the appearance of support. even moral. of the authors responsi- ble for the war.

FACTORY DAMAGED BY
 EXPLOSION
Canadian Car and Foundry
 Company's Plant, With Shells for British Govern
 ment, Goes Up in Blasts.
(By Review Leased Wire)

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The plant of the Canadian Car and Foundry com pany, one half mile east of Kingsland, N J., in which there were stored hun dreds of thousands of shells destined for the British government, was de- stroyed late today by fire and a series of explositions which continued for three hours. So far as could be learn ed tonight, no one was killed or in jured although it was said r work men were missing. No estimate of the loss was obtainable but it was said it might reach S4.000,000.
 Approximately HOO men were em- ployed in the plant which comprised between 40 and 50 buildings. No mu- nitions were manufactured at Kings land but the plant was used for the filling of shells, the chief constituent used being trinitrotoluol, one of the most powerful explosives known
 While it was estimated that nearly 500,000 shells exploded, primary fuses or caps had not been attached to them and consequently their detonation did not cause the havic that follows their explosion when used on European bat tie fronts. The roar of the shells, which sounded like cannonade from heavy guns, was heard for miles, how ever, and the concushions shook build ings within wide radius of the plant
 Kingsland. Rutherford and other places nearby were filled with refug- ees tonight who had fled from their homes in the vicinity of the plant. A dozen persons were arrested at Kings land on charges of petit larceny and orders were issued by the sheriff of Bergen county to the guards sent out by him in all directions to shoot loot CTS
 Thomas H. Huckin. county prosecu- tor. and his assistants began investiga- tion tonight to fix responsibility for the disaster. The fire which began at 3:50 p. m. still was smoldering late to- night in the ruins. Shells exploded all most continuously until 7:30 o'clock but after that hour the detonations were only intermittent
 NEW YORK, Jan. 1l.-James !. Kelly. warden of the Snake Hill peni- tentiary, about one mile from the scene of the explosions said at GAS O'Clock tonight that the detonations were as violent as they had been an hour before. The prison building, which contains 219 prisoners. was be- ing severely shaken. he said. and he felt alarmed for safety. All the glass in the prison windows had been brok- en. The prisoners were badly fright ened but were behaving well and ar rangements were being made to re- move them should the detonations last much longer.
 Between 200 and BOO employees of the plant who fled to escape the explosions are reported to have broken through the ice in Berry Creek. and it is feared some of them have been drowned. They are wandering through the Hack enshack Meadows. lost in the dark ness. and fugitives said some of them might perish from the cold

busy raising the districts fund OF
$4,000 as the commuRity's contrib
ution to the work of the great org

hundred dollars lacking. Up to noon

hundred dollars had been paid in to
the fund
Several substantial donations have
been promised the Red Cross teams.

US, and the great territory we had to
cover. many have necessarily been ov-
erlooked We ask these to bring in
their offering to the committee head

dorsing the Red Cross. and its work"
