TWO KILLED, 80 HURT
IN ARSENAL BLASTS
Series of Five Explosions at
Frankfort (Pa.) Government
Plant Follows MiShap of
Workers

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. S-Five
buildings at the Frankfort govern
ment arsenal here are IN ruins, two
workers are dead and 80. including sew
eral women, are injured, following a
series of fve explosions at o'clock
this morning.
Two employees have not been ac-
counted for.
Colonel Montgomery, comhandant OF
the arsenal, would make no statement
regarding the cause of the explosion.
Among the workers, the first report
was that a six-inch shell into which
powder was being pressed in the high
explosive building-R. A. house No. 7
exploded.
A later explanation was that a work.
man dropped a three-inch shrapnel shell
which exploded when the percussion
cap struck the floor, throwing shrapnel
in all directions.
The two bodies have not been identi-
fed One was in a condition which

The missing were Edward Batsell
and a janitor named Fox.
The buildings destroyed were two R.

dry houses The r. A. houses are
houses in which high explosives are
handled and the loading Of big shells
is part of the work carried on. The
I. X houses are those in which powder,
guncotton and fuses are dried.
All the buildings were frame except

ture.
Oscar wistner, Jr., who with his sis
ter Clare, was at work filling shells
in the loading room in plant r. A. 2,
told this story Of the accident:
Suddenly there was a binding
flash and terrific explosion which
threw us to the ground. When the
shock>was over there was a mad STAN
pede for exits. 1 was trampled upon
by several men and 1 know many 9TH
ers were in like predicament.
Il got out of the crush and searched
for my sister. Flames were shooting
about in many directions. Girls scream
ed. many tainted. while others were
moaning from injuries. 1 found my
sister covered by a mass of wreckage
and dragged her, unconscious to
safety"
According TO Wistner. shrapnel few in
all directions through the crowded
workroom. He says Ii is miraculous
that so many escaped unwounded.
Affecting scenes occurred when ter
rified mothers, wives and sisters, hud-
died IN CROWDS ABOUT the arsenal gates,
and soaked to the skin by the rain
which fell throughout the night, greet
ed their loved ones, whom they had
feared had been buried beneath the
blazing wreckage.
, Nineteen of the injured were treat
ed at a nearby hospitals. One is eX-
pected to die. Later all but five of the
injured were able to go to their homes.
None OF those hurt was able to give a
coherent account of what happened.
Maryland troops are guards in the ar
senal and no one was permitted to en-
ter the government reservation.
Today's explosion was the second IA
tai one TO occur within the past FIVE
months. Two men were killed by the
bursting Of a shrapnel fuse in the high
explosive buildings last April.
Three Investigations were under way
soon after today's explosion, in which
federal officials. the police and coro-
ner participated.

Conducting Air Raids
Upon Allied Hospitals

LONDON. Sept 7.-Germany is APP
parently conducting a deliberate aerial
offensive against allied hospitals. The
utmost Indignation has been aroused
throughout England by reports of the
past week showing half a dozen IN
stances. in which hospitals plainly mark
ed have been singled out for attack.
England's reprisals will be in aerial
attacks against German military works.
A typical instance of the new form
of Gsrman frightfulness was reported
in United Press dispatches today from
the French front. German aViators
dropped bombs every twenty minutes
during several hours of daylight on a
hospital at Vandelaincourt. Nineteen
persons were killed and rs wounded.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Demon Rum

home in the United States at II p. m.

expected to linger on for about two
years and die. His distilleries through
out the land have either closed their
doors or gone into other lines.
In other words, last night at IL
o'clock whisky manufacture ceased in
the United States under the provisions
of the food control law and millions
of bushels of grain heretofore used in
making that form of drink will be
diverted to food. Importation Of whisky
also is forbidden hereafter.
Just how much grain will be added
to the food supplies as a result is not
determinable, but experts say about
100,000,000 bushels are used by the dis
tilleries each year, of which about 49,
100000 bushels are used in whisky
manufacture.
Customs officials throughout the
country will seize all importations Of
spirituous liquors hereafter reaching
the United States. Officers of the in
ternal revenue bureau throughout the
country will see that distilleries make
no more whisky.
Stocks of whisky in the country I'M

ARGENTINA To DEMAND
RECALL Of LUXBURG
As RESULT OF PLOT
South American Republic May
Also Call Upon Sweden to
Withdraw Minister at Bue-
nos Aires

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. S.-Demand
upon Berlin for the recall of Count Lux
burg, German minister to Argentina, as
a result of the disclosures through inter
ception by the United States of mes
sages he transmitted through the Swed-
ish foreign office, was inevitable here
tonight.
1t is also considered possible that
Sweden will be asked to recall her min
lister.
Publication of dispatches carrying the
transmitted by Luxburg in which he
referred to the acting foreign min
lister of Argentina as a notorious ass"
and advised ignoring Argentina's de-
mands in the U-boat controversy Gre
ated intense excitement here.
Count Luxburg and the Swedish min
lister were both ostensibly out" or
were really away from the city tonight
At all events both legations were silent
Late tonight Swedish legation acting
in the absence of the minstr, absolutely
denied that it was the medium or trans
mission of German correspondence to
Berlin.
The director of Argentine foreign Of
fee whe informed today of revelations
of the state department at Washington
in volving the Swedish leagtion here in
the transmission of certain German
communications, expressed great as
constituent. Hal declared that he had
negotiations with Count Luxburg
the German charge, respecting the COM
munications, the substance of which, as
described to him, were apparently not
the same as that revealed by the text
of the dispatches made public in Wash
ington President Irigoyen, informed of
the matter said that he would at once
call upon the foreign minister fer a
statement.
After conference with the president,
the director of the foreign office said 1t
would be impossible to discuss the reve-
lations until he had received confirma-
ton from Ambassador Naon at Wash
ington.
The evening editions of the newspa-
pers express surprise at the disclosures
and declare the situation is grave for
the Swedish legation here. The public
at first doubted the accuracy of the re-
ports, but the American embassy has
confirmed press reports.
Count Luxburg and the Swedish min
lister will demand an explanation from
the Swedish legation when confirmation
of the Washington exposures is received
from Ambassador Naon.
