it finished its present contract.
The hundreds of families which
fed from Kingsland began their re-
turn to their homes this morning.
They entered a desolate village. Many
OF the houses were so shell riddled
they were not tenantable. The po-
lice authorities lifted the dead line
they had thrown around the residence
section in an effort to prevent loot
ing and assisted the returning towns
men in putting their households in
order. Some of the dwellings ap-
peared ruined beyond repair. Many
OF those who ran for safety spent the
night huddled uncomfortably in
churches and schools.
The shops of the Delaware. Lack
awanna & Western railroad, in the
vicinity of the munition plant, were
badly damages. Shells rained into
them, running machinery and equip
ment.
Decorations continued throughout
the forenoon. On the chance that
employees injured and suffering from
exposure might be lying on the Hack
ensack meadows, across which many
fleeing persons made their escape, po-
licemen were detailed to make a
search. 1t was considered possible
that number of persons reported
missing may have drowned in the
meadow streams.
w. B. Hardness. superintendent of
the munitions works, said he believed
there was no loss of life. He did not
know how the fire started, he said,
nor could he estimate the damage.
