ment and F1orida's total vote will go

tAssoclated Press Summary


Germans have attempted to drive a
wedge into the British line west OF
Cambria but their efforts have
brought only a MINOR gain. The at
tack was launched between Bulle-
court and Queant and lasted from
dawn to one o'clock in the afternoon
The British held their ground, ex-
cept at one point where the enemy
penetrated the front line position
The enemy lost heavily. Notwith-
standing their failure, the Germans
are keeping UP an intensive lombard
ment OF British and French positions
all along the western front and are
daily receiving reinforcements from
the eastern theatre.
Snow Is falling heavily in the noun
tains along the northern Italian front,
and an optimism prevails among the
Italians that this will aid them def
initely In holding the Austro- Germans
back from the italian plain.
Formal entry was made into Jeru-
salem yesterday by General Allenby,
commander Of the British forces in
dered on Monday after it had been
surrounded by the troops.
There are some signs of a renewal
of Austro-German effort to break the
Italian front between the Brenta and
the Piaye In Northern Italy, a heavy
bombardment being reported IN that
sector Of the mountain line.
While Boisheviki power in Russia
is being menaced on many sides, the
peace movement which the extremist
government recently instituted ap-
parently is being pushed with all pos
sible rapidity.
The latest report on the progress of
the exchanges with the Teutonic rep
resentatives at the front comes from
a German source, the semi-official
Berlin news agency announcing that
authorization had been given a new
Russian commander to open peace
negotiations with Germany On the

arming and equipping the American
forces.
Major General Crozier chief of ord

national defense act of 1916 contem-

original program dd not contemplate

compressed the five year program in

appropriation, the general said

continued. "to get the manufa cturing
establishments going on orders in an
tidpation of appropriations One OBJ
stacle was that many manufa cturers
did not care to spend money or could
not secure loans in advance of actual
appropriations. That caused very
considerable delay. There also were

bidding in many cases..

"It is better use that only in case of
emergency.
Some manufacturers would not take
fixed price contracts at ALL" General
Grozier said. They wouldn't take
the risk except with a profit on a
percentage basis. They had had
their fingers burned. No orders for
rifles were made at a fixed pt ce,
manufa cturers wouldn't take the or
ders"
General Crozier said that early in
the war, the president had allotted
s35.000,000 of his 800 100000 ener-
gency fund to the war department and
that emergency orders for material
had been given
Senator Wadsworth asked if any
precautionary steps were taken before

an actual shortage of munition labor

taken men into the military service to

"Will the American army be able
to supply itself with sufficient artil-
1ery?" asked Senator Reed.
THE indications are that we Will be
able, with the assistance Of England

SHELL MAKING
PLANT BURNED
AT EARLY HOUR
AIR FULL OF FLYING FRAGMENTS
AS COMPLETED PROD UCTs
WERE REACHED BY THE
FLAMES.
By Associated Press.

Wilmington, Del, Dec. ia terri
DC bombardment shortly before s
o'clock this morning with shells fly
ing in every direction aroused New
castle and vicinity. Fire had broken
out in one of the most dangerous Sec
tions Of the shell-loadng plant Of the
E thlehem Steel Company about a
mile below Newcastle.
The blaze, which was of unknown
origin, started in the shell loading
house in which was stored 4,600 shells
loaded with INT, one of the most
violent of all explosives and 10000
empty shells. The fire had scarcely
started when the contents of the load
ed shells began to fly In every direc-
ton.
The building which was frame
structure about 100 by 50 feet,
burned like tinder, and as the flames
reached the loaded shells the latter
began to explode and occasionally one
would be hurled out of the building.
One man, Theodore Jacobs, of Har-
rison, n. J., the chief of guard, was
killed. his head being blown off by one
of the shells.
So far as could be learned no
other person was hurt.
The burned building was Of frame
and 400 by 100 feet in dimensions 1t
contained 1900 shells. all of which ex-
ploded. A high fence nearby was
riddled by shells.
jacobson was running away and
was about a quarter of a mile from
the burning structure when a shell hit
him.
An accident on the trolley line de-
layed about 500 men on their way to
work and accounted in part for the
lack Of casualties. The mill where
the fire started had been temporarily
closed down and had been used only
for storage purposes. The loss is es-
timated at 100000.
1ncendiariam is suspected by some
persons. No machinery was in opera
ton and there was no fire in the
building.
