Washington, Sept 13.-Progress OF
the American and French armies in
battering in the opposite sides Of the
St. Mihiel salient was expected to
slow down as it reached the wooded
and rugged center, making easier de-
fense by the enemy, members Of the
house military committee were told
today at their weekly conference with
war department officials.
The number of American troops
engaged has not been officially re-
ported. Detailed explanation of the
results of the opening day Of the drive
was given to the committeeman by
Of the general staff.
Although it was not officially stated
that the iron fields about the strongly
fortified city Of Metz are the object of
the attack. it was pointed out that
should these be occupied the result
to the Germans would be serious. 1t
was estimated that about 80 per cent
of the German iron comes from this
district

FACTORY EXPLOSION
BILL.

Over 100 Killed and Scores Injured
Perth Amboy, N. j., Oct. At is
estimated that 100 men were killed
and scores injured in a tremendous
explosion early tonight at the plant
of the T. A. Gillespie shell-loading
company at Morgan, near here.
The first explosion, which shook
the countryside for miles around and
caused citizens of South Amboy to
fee from their homes, was followed
by a series of a dozen less severe ex-
plosions and by fire which for hours
deied the efforts of fire departments
summoned from all nearby cities and
towns. -
The number of dead and injured
cannot be determined until employees
of the plant answer roll call in the
morning.
The plant covers a large area,
which is approximately four miles
long and two miles wide, with many
buildings, in which, it is said, 1000
persons, working in three shifts, are
usually employed. Although women
and girls work on the day shifts,
it is thought none of them were at
the plant tonight.
The explc csions and fire which de-
stroyed number of buildings and
killed nearly 100 workmen continued
frequently through the night. They
eliminated Saturday morning at 4
o'clock with terrific blast which
blew one of the few remaining ware
houses to dust. Large quantities OF
trinitrotoluoll, known as T. N. T..
had been stored in this magazine
The explosion rocked the surrounding
country like an earthquake. The
company officials declared that il
smight be several days before the
death toll could be definitely known
Rumors that German spies were re-
Isponsible for the disaster were
promptly discounted by the officials
At $50 Saturday morning the re
naming buildings were being blast
ed and the fires are still raging.

Lets Fill the Quota
Tonight" the Committee

st. Johnsbury's total subscriptions
for the Fighting Fourth Liberty
Loan up to Friday night from 80
subscribers amounted to $433 900.
Additional reports are in the hands OF
the committee which show about
$4,000 more than has actually come
in to the banks.
From these figures it will be seen
that about 100000 remains to be
raised today if we are to meet our
quota tonight. This is not a one
man job or a job for any three or
four men. Everybody who can sub
scribe must do so and do it now.
Let's all subscribe quickly and
cheerfully and get it over with. It's
an awfully comfortable feeling to
know that we have done our full
duty. Try it.
Six more Of our boys left ST..
Johnsbury On the $50 train Thursday
morning for Fort Slocum. If there
are any pei sons in st. Johnsbury who
still have any faint streaks of yellow
left in their system, those streaks
would have faded rapidly if they
could have spent few minutes with
these boys as they were preparing
for their Journey. There was moth
ing sad or mournful about this bunch.
They were laughing and joking and
all enthusiasm over the prospect of
getting into the great game of driv-
ing the Kaiser and his clan out of
existence. These boys, like the
many others who have gone before
them, are Offering themselves cheer
fully for this great cause and, in addi-
ton to this, some of them had also
already bought Fourth Liberty Loan
bonds.
There are many service flags in st.
Johnsbury Look about you and
observe them. Each flag tells you
of some man who is doing his full
duty. Have you done yours?
The service flag! With it's star of
blue, sometimes turned gold: Silently
it sells more bonds than any other
salesman in the land Always its
message is the same: That you shall
lend-and generously lend-to end
this war mere quickly. To save more
stars of blue from turning gold.
Some of our people are working
hard to fill up St. Johnsbury's allot-
ment tonight. Let's make it unani-
nous.
