The number OF injured is said to total
almost a thousand.
1t is estimated that about 100000
persons have been rendered homeless
bysthe tragedy.
As a result Of orders issued by the
military authorities. South Amboy,
Perth Amboy and Sayreville township,
in New Jersey, near Morgan, were
evacuated. The towns have an ag-

Northern New Jersey and New

Jersey towns in the vicinity of the
catastrophe.
With each explosion great flashes
of yellow flame stabbed the sky.
Heavy columns OF black rolling
smoke almost continuously darkened
large stretches of territory.
The War Department has taken
over the stricken and devastated dis
trict surrounding the Gillespie plant.
Martial law is in force in half
dozen New Jersey towns. United
States troops and marines are guard
ing all roads.
The damage caused by the explos-
ions has been estimated by the Of
ficials of the Gillespie Company to
be S3O,0OO,OOO. The United states
Government will probably lose S2O'-

may total over 100000.
Huge War Plant.
The entire plant of the Gillespie
Company occupied $1,000 acres, nearly
eight square miles. 1t contained
thirteen unit buildings and over hun
bred accessory houses. The thirteen
units contained a quantity of T. n. 1.
and thousands of shells of all calibers.
Practically the entire plant was
wrecked. An officer OF the Gillespie
Company last night said that only two
of the thirteen units remain. Some OF
the buildings were blasted to stop the
spread of the flames.

were taken to protect the latter
plants. Had they blown up an addi-

have been devastated.
Hundreds OF soldiers. sailors, home
guards, plant guards, and firemen, at
great risk fought the flames to keep
them from reaching the California and
Hercules plants.
Communication with the stricken
district was almost completely de-
stroyed. Telephones were out of COM
mission practically all night and day.
Thousands of refugees continued to
pour into New York from New Jer-

sleep since the first explosion Fri
day night. They were haggard. dis
heveled. distract and badly fright
ened. Many of them said their homes
were totally destroyed by the con-
cussions from the terrific explosions.
Al roads leading from the dew
astated zone in New Jersey were
cluttered with refugees on foot and
in vehicles OF all descriptions. Many
women had babies in their arms and
children clinging frightened to their
skirts.
a r.gid investigation OF the dis
aster has been begun by Colonel
McCay under the direction of the
commandant of the Department of
the East. He refused TO comment
on this phase OF the situation.
T. a. Gillespie, president OF the
Morgan munition plant. during the
day said he did not believe the ex-
plosions resulted from carelessness
on the part OF the employees and
scorned suggestions of a German
plot. He stated that the tragedy was
probably caused by the explosion OF
Kettle in unit 6-1.

The telephone company employs
about 1900 girl operators. About
half of them are Washingtonians

several homes in the city bought by

Seventy In Building.

Seventy men were at work in unit
G1 when the blast let go. Eighteen
have been accounted for. Although
600 employees of the plant are missing,
many OF these are believed to have
fled the district. The majority of
them were foreigners.
Eleven members OF the coast guard
are missing. seven are in hospitals
suffering from shell shock and one
is said to be dead in the Perth Amboy
morgue with his head and arms blown
off.
Only by the fact that pre-devised
plans were made, were many trans
ports tied to nearby wharves and
loaded with munitions for the Ameri-
can forces overseas saved from de-
struction. The vessels, together with
many barges loaded with trains of
shells were towed to safety by the
coast guard.

Aeros Fly Over Plant.

While the conflagration was still
raging with intense fury and con-
tinuous explosions prevented the
work OF fire fighters, aeroplsnes were
pressed into service for observation
work over the plant.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken throughout the day to protect
$50 tons OF T. N. T. stored in an
underground vault a considerable dis
lance from the confagration.
1t was reported that fragments of
bodies were found on the tracks of
the Jersey Central railroad 1000 feet
FROM the Gillespie plant.
When the explosions started Fri
day night at 7:30. about 1000 men
were at work in the plant and 1000
were in recreation rooms about the
grounds The blasts were continuous
from that time until late this after
noon.
Heavy explosions rocked down
town New York. Several doors of
the City Hall were blown open and
windows were shattered in the Gus
toms house.
Towns Devastated.
Explosions heard during the after
noon within a radius OF forty miles
from Morgan were from box cars
loaded with shells to be shipped from
the plant.
The town of Morgan has been de-
vastated and South Amboy is badly
wrecked. All residents have left the
latter place and hundreds have fed
from Perth Amboy. Those who re-
main are camping in the streets. All
business houses were closed and mar
tial law Is in force to prevent looting
of the abandoned homes.
