What was yesterday a busy su-

ISOLATION, looks today as though it
had been bombarded by a mighty
fleet of Zeppelins."
Che of the most remarkable features
was that there was no panic in the
theaters OF elsewhere. Many people
crowded into the Underground railway
stations believing that an aerial at
tack was in progress. but the ma
jority, of Londoners controlled their
nerves well.
An American who was a witness at
business man VINO was a witness at
the disaster of last evening gave the
following account of it to the Asso-
ciated Press:
Il had been on a business visit to
the chemical works and was leaving in
the direction of the suburban station
late in the afternoon when a police
man on duty outside the gate called
my attention to a small fire that had
just started inside the huge enclosure.
Soon there was an explosion. The
air was full of debris almost instantly
and the crash of falling timbers, COL
lapsing buildings and breaking glass
continued like an echo of the first
crash for at least seven or eight min
Iutes The atmosphere Immediately be-
came heavy with the smell of gas and
the faces of people in the buildings
turned a dull, sickly yellow. People
whom l discerned here and there

ambulance corps and we were rushed
OIL into the heart of the disaster where
the explosion has done its worst dam
age. Fire brigades kept arriving in
seemingly amending procession from
different parts of London, and from
these we obtained few necessities to
assist us in our rescue work. This was
carried out in houses and cottages on
the fringe of the wrecked area Frag-
ments of factory machinery weighing
tons were found half mile, a mile
and even a mile and a half from the
factory. Three houses were flattened
into a mass of kindling wood and here
we took up our heart rending work.
There were wounded who had been
dug out from the debris, while others
were found seriously injured lying I'M
covered and helpless in streets. gardens
and open places. Flames from the
burning buildings, which grew brighter
as time went on, gave us a fair light
through the pail of smoke, fog and
dust. There was a paucity of ambu-
lance facilities for a time, but this was
remedied before the night was well ad-
vanced, and we developed a system.
"The SURPRISING thing was the large
number of persons whose injuries at
first appeared to be serious. owing to
the fact that they were dazed and suf-
fering from a species of shell shock,
but who later responded to our first
aid attempts and walked off fairly
sound, with bandaged. arm or head, to
assist in the relief work
The fire was under control about
midnight, but the work of the relief
force continued until dawn, when the
volunteers were replaced by the mill

remaining days within which the COM
mittee must report to the house.
James r. Reilly, managing editor of
the Wall Street Journal and the Dow,
Jones & Co. news ticker, doubtless will
be one of the first witnesses called. He
explained before the committee here a
week ago that information that a peace
note was expected reached him through
one of his reporters several hours be-
fore the note was made public. The
reporter, he said, advised him that this
information came to New York over a
brokers' special wire from Washing
ton. The committee and Mr.. Whipple
wants more details as to the identity
of the reporter and the source of his
information
Several New York financiers, includ-
ing j. z. Morgan, Frank A. Vanderlip,
J. s. Bache, Henry P. Dawson, Arthur
Upper and Sol c. Wexler, also will be
questioned at the New York hearings.
They were subpoenaed last week and
some of them were here ready to testi-
fly when the hearings were interrupted.
1t is not impossible that the committee
will visit other cities later. Men and
records from Chicago and Boston were
subpoenaed last week.
When hearings will be resumed here
is problematical. They were to have
been re-opened Monday morning with
the first witness, Mrs. Ruth Thomason
Visconti, who Lawson says told him
Secretary Tumulty and others profited
by leak" She probably will not be
called to testify until the committee
resumes sittings at the capital

York to make arrangements for the
hearings. The committee will follow

The defamation was such that miles
away buildings were rocked while
over that area there was great de-
struction of window glass. Fires
broke out involving large flour mill
and other industrial concerns. while
many houses also were enveloped in
flames.
"Firemen, policemen, soldiers and
ambulance workers rushed to the
scene The authorities requisitioned
motor buses and other vehicles on
the streets.
Terrible scenes We're witnessed
when the -four mill. which was seven
stories high, burst into flames. To
get such 4 blaze under control, was
an imrossibility, so reluctantly the
firemen were obliged to devote their
efforts to saving neighboring prop
erty Despite all their efforts, the
flames rapidly spread over a large
area.

details concerning stricken families.
The lord mayor of London will open
relief subscriptions at meeting to
be presided over by him. The stricken
borough today took the first steps to
organize relief and grange accom-
modations for many homeless per-
sons. The officials are caring for
numbers of children whose parents
are missing.
The military and police guarded
the stricken district all day and the
public was not allowed to approach
within mile of the ruined area.
The area of broken windows spreads
for several miles. Plate glass was
showered into the streets from shops
about ST Pauls cathedral and in
Kingsway, which is mile further
toward the heart of London, while
windows were broken in the Savoy
hotel and Queen Anne's mansions.
Buildings were DESTROYED and peo-
