RUBBER PLANT

Cambridge Mass, Jan. 24.-The two
story plant OF the American Rubber Co..
engaged in manufacturing rain coats for
the army, was wrecked by an explosion
and fire tonight Manuel Cabral. the only
e,nploye in the building at the time, was
probably fatally injured. He was knock
ed unconscious by piece of flying ma
chinery and the firemen poured tons of
water into the portion OF the structure
where he lay before they were able Z"
rescue him.
The fire was caused by the blowing u
OF q vat of naphtha and inasmuch as
there was no fire in the immediate vicln-
ity the fire chief expressed the opinion
that the explosion might have been caub-
ed b. an incendiary.

NJ Ozaki asked Why British war
ships had been sent to Nladivostok,
indicating possible lack Of reliance on
Japan and misunderstanding with
Great Britain and 1.-THE United States
regarding the agreement for the de
Tense of the Far East. He also asked
what Japan was doing for Russia.
Foreign Minister Motono assured the
Diet there was no reason to fear diff
ferences of opinion between Japan and
Great Britain and the United States.
Count Terauchi in his address said
the Japanese government was fully
alive TO the gravity Of the situation and
constantly was making efforts TO main :
operating the war preparations with
the concerted plan Of action of the
Allied Powers.
1t was the governments intention
TO pursue the same policy with all
sulute loyalty and fidelity to the AL
