tBy Associated Press, /,

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 20-Sixty-
three charred and blackened bodies
lay today in the temporary morgue at
Oakdale, near here, where on Saturday
the high explosives plant of the Aetna
Chemical company was destroyed by a
series of explosions. Ninety-four in
jured were being cared for in Pitts
burgh hospitals, and officials of the
company said that PIP of the total
working force of the factory had not
yet been accounted for. Many Of
these, it was expected, would register
during the day at the office which the
company. opened in the stricken town
on Saturday night.
I Investigation of the disaster by fed
eral. state, county and village author
tiles was In progress, while the search
OF the ruins went methodically on un-
der the direction OF Coroner Samuel
G. Jamison. A heavy detail of troop
ers from the state constbulary and a
large force of deputy sheriffs kept
back the curious crows which thronged
the hillsides overlooking the ruins.
Noxious gasses from the explosion
still hung in the valley and early to-
day it was decided to clear away the
remnants of the buildings with dypa-
mite in the hope of more quickly ex-
ploring the ruins and ascertaining
just how, many bodies remained.
An official statement from the Aetna
Chemical company said that about
215 men were in the plant when the
explosion occurred. The number
known positively to be dead" is forty,
the plant is approximately 80 percent
destroyed and the stocks of tulol and
the shipments of wet T N T which
were on cars ready to go out were lost
in the explosion.
mo plan has been formulated" the
statement continues, regarding the
continuous operation at Oakdale, or
elsewhere. The plans for the future
will depend in large measure on the
attitude of the United States govern
ment for whom the T N T was being
manufactured"

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-Ap-
plication Of the new psychological
test TO all enlisted men and newly
appointed officers of the army has
been ordered by the war depart

out the mentally unfit and classify
ing officers and men for special ser
vice or promotion. 1t was announc-
ed today that the chief of staff had
approved the recommendation of
the plan by Surgeon Gen. Gorgas
and that it would be carried out
at once.
Special buildings will be provided

medical department of 81 majors,
81 captains and ga first lieutenants,
60 sergeants, 81 corporals and go

man the divisional stations and pro-
vide a staff in the surgeon generals
Office.
A military psychological school
will be established at Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Ga, where so psychologists
will be entered monthly for a min
imum of two months special train
ing.
This plan is the outgrowth OF
psychological examinations conduct
ed at Camps Lee and Devens, where
$4,000 men and 5000 officers were
subjected to tests devised by Maj.
Yarkes of the medical corps TO de-
termine their military suitability.
Summarizing the results, the de-
partment announcement says:
Approximately two per cent OF
the drafted men as they appear in
the camps are so seriously defective
in mental development that they are
either maniacs or a nuisance in
military esta blishments.

international News Service:
NEW YORK. Jan. 21.-Since the
United States entered the war the
crime percentages in practically
every city in the country have taken
amazing leaps. The number Of
complaints reaching the various de-
tective headquarters throughout the
land for the last six months was 20
per cent higher than during the
same period a year ago. The in
crease has extended 10 practically
all forms Of crime except murder
and assault.
Commissioner Woods of the New
York city police department has
made a special examination of the
records with a view 10 answering
the question as to the effect of the
war on crime and criminals. His
conclusions are as follows:
Grimes against property have
increased steadily since the United
States entered the war, and the rea-
son may be found directly in the
economic conditions which have
been brought about by the war
Crimes of violence, except robbery,
have tended to decrease, but the
decrease is to be attributd not so
much to the war as to the destruc-
ton of the gangs and the impris0h-
ment of the sangsters who former
ly afflicted New York city"
Like Commissioner woods, Dis
trict Attorney Swami holds that the
causes of increased crime are eco
nomic, due to the war.
The explanation" he says. lis in
the increased value of property.
Silks, copper, brass, foodstuffs and
almost every commodity have such
an increased value and are so read
ily salable that il is worth while TO
steal most anything, and the thieves
act accordingly With the increase
in values is a corresponding increase
in temptation"
