Blast Takes Heavy Toll In Shell Fac
tory in England.
London, July 3.-An explosion oc-
Cured In the Midlands, 1t was officially
announced. Between sixty and seven
ty persons lost their lives.
The official statement reads:
1.-THE munitions ministry announces
that serious explosion occurred Mon
day night in-a national sheE- filing fac
tory in the Mfdlands.
1T is feared that sixty or seventy
lives have been lost. The number of
injured Is unknown.
ut is estimated that considerable
part of the factory and its productive
capacity will be saved. Work will be
resumed in the next two days.
1.-The reports state that the women
workers behaved splendidly, pressing
to be allowed to return to work. The
reserve capacity held available in this
class of supply is sufficient to prevent
appreciable diminution in the output"

South success. Congress recognized
the value Of his services, and tried to
show adequate appreciation Of them.
He was given vote of thanks and
breveted a brigadier general. When
the American cause triumphed he de-
cided to depart for Poland.
Kosciuszko returned to Poland that
was outraged, torn, and stripped. He
plunged into what seemed a hopeless
situation, and would have s>ved it,
were it not for the weakness of STAN
islaus, who concluded a humiliating
peace. When the second partition oc-
cured, in 1893, general rising of the
population took place, and Kosciuszko
was made dictator. For a time he
swept everything before him; the Rus
sian garrison at Warsaw was wiped
out; success for his cause seemed al-
most assured. Then a Prussian army
entered the country from one side and
two Russian armies from the other,
and, after a gallant struggle, the Poles
suffered a crushing defeat at Macieo-
vice, where their commander fell, COW
cred with wounds.
He arose again, however, and, after
Imprisonment In st. Petersburg, was
set free by the Emperor Paul, from
whom, ne refused commission. In the
course Of time he revisited the United
States, received a pension and parcel
of land, and was given popular as well
as public honors, but he was not con-
tented. He could not reconcile himself
to the alien law. At length he settled
quietly in Switzerland, and one of his
last acts was the granting of freedom
to the serfs on his paternal estate.
Thaddeus Kosciuszko's name Is in
delibly written, not only in the HIS
tory, but in the nomenclature of the
United States. The Americans Of his
time, the pioneers and nation-builders,
were not unmindful Of or Indifferent
to his services, and they strove to
prove their gratitude by naming after
him many counties and towns--Chris-

London, July 3.-The German gen.

In supreme command of the Italian

Field Marshal Won Koevess has been
appointed to replace Field Marshal
Conrad Won Hoetzendorff and Gener-

The Italians launched a strong Of

northwestern region Of Monte Grappa.
The troops advanced at dawn and,
according to reports so far received
at the Rome wa" Office, the move

An official statement late this after
noon declares the operations have "as-
sured the possession Of important po-
sitions." 1t also reported the capture
Of more than 500 prisoners and much

The mountain attack followed the
severe repulse Of Austrian attempts
to regain positions lost In the Italian
attacks Saturday and Sunday between
AsiagO and the Brenta.
The Austrians sent forward strong
forces on the Asiago plateau, but the
Italian artillery fire was so deadly

HALT HOSPITAL SHIP
Latest Hun Atrocity Delays Sail
ing of the Comfort.
Plan to Send Vessel Without Conway
AFFECTED by Fate Of British Craft
No More Survivors.

washington, July 3.-Plans for the
sailing OF the American hospital ship
comfort, which it was proposed to
send through the submarine zone with
out convoy, have been delayed by the
ruthless destruction of the Canadian
hospital ship Llandovery Castle. 1t Is
not yet decided whether the original
plans will be changed.
A thorough search of the waters in
the Vicinity of the spot where the
Llandovery Castle was sunk by Ger
man submarine has resulted In no
iurther survivors being found.
An official statement issued by the
admiralty says 1t may be assumed that
only "a out of the 258 persons on board
were saved.
The statement says:
1.-The area between the spot where
the LlandOvery Castle was sunk and
the southwest Irish coast has been
thoroughly searched by two groups of
his majesty's ships in addition to the
destroyer Lysander. Only a little
Wreckage and one empty boat were
found"
Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of
the exchequer, speaking In the house
OF commons, said one wohld have
thought that nothing new as regards
German brutality could have hap
pened, but the sinking Of the Cana
dian hospital ship Llandovery Castle
was an unspeakable outrage.
Nothing could be gained. he added,
by talkiny about this last example of
frightfulness. He said:
The wild beast Is at large. There
Is no use arguing or reasoning about
It The only thing to do Is to destroy
it That Is the duty, and it is up to
all the allies to set their teeth until
that end Is achieved"

ORDER HITS ONLY SELECTS
Provost Marshal General Crowder Ex
plains Work or FlQht Edict.

Washington, July g. Recommending
on the new work or fight regulations
which are In effect. Provost Marshal
General Crowder emphasized that the
order does not affect men outside OF
draft ages. Several communities ap
parently have confused it with anti.
loafer laws in some states.
General Crowder explained that the
work or fight order is purely a military
step and that regulations regarding
employment or military service for un-
registered men are not embraced In his
functions. The only effect the order
has upon persons not subject to draft
Is that it offers them more opportuni-
ties Of employment Places vacated
by men liable to draft necessarily are
left open for men outside Of the draft,
he explained.
