one scattered the burning embers,
and noxious gases spread over the
valley and surrounding hills, making
perilous the work of rescue.
For time it seemed as though it
would be impossible to reach the
wounded because of the heat, the
constantly widening zone of gases
and the danger from explosion. One
young nurse was seriously injured,
one leg being blown off.
Many bodies were consumed in the
flames, and portions of bodies were
picked up mile away from the
plant. Children were seen lying dead
on the hillside a mile away.
This is the eleventh fatal explosion
or fire in the Aetna Chemical plants
since war broke out in Europe.

Later and detailed reports of the

one of the worst catastrophes in the
history of the country.

very air seemed to burst into fame,
the earth heaved and rocked, and
with roar that was heard for miles
the long factory buildings were
hurled high into the air, carrying
with them ponderous equipment and
scores of men. A great cloud of dust
and smoke settled over the scene and
through its deadly fumes torn and
mangled forms dropped to the earth,
many dead, but others to meet their
end in the flaming debris. Human
remnants were scattered far and
near.
Bodies Blown Half Mile.
The exact number of dead has not
been ascertained, but it is agreed
that it is fully 200. Many of injured
were found half a mile from the
remnant of the factory. The property

million dollars.

SHELL FIGHTING MOST
EXPENSIVE METHOD
MILLIONS OF WORLDS WEALTH
WILL BE USED IN NEW Of
FENSIVES IN EUROPE.

When the 1918 campaign began on
the French front it was preceded by
the greatest and costliest artillery
preparation the world has ever seen.
During every day of these gun con-
tests millions of dollars of the worlds
wealth has disappeared in flames,
smoke, gas and iron fragments. The
battles mark the eliminating point
in the concentration and power of
artillery.
Artillery Work Expensive.
1t has been demonstrated that to
destroy an enemy battery five or six
miles behind the lines a six-inch gun
must fire no less than 800 shots cost
ing $45 each, or a total of $4,000.
In past offensives it has not been un-
common for the Germans to concen-
trate 600 batteries on a 16-mile
front. This spring the action may
extend over the entire 16O-mile
front.
Another task of the artillery is to
cut away the enemy's wire entangle-
ments. A distance of two or three
miles it requires 1000 shells from
a three-inch gun to cut a breach 25
yards wide. If this is extended over
wider fronts it will require noun
tains of shells.
Barrage fire also is a terrible shell
eater. Thousands of shells are con-
sumed each minute, and sometimes
the barrage must be kept up for sew
eral hours.

itants, lies on the border of the
Ukraine, 800 miles south of Moscow
and 1870 miles east of Kursk.
Units of the British fleet were re-
ported December to have arrived in
Reval, port on the Esthonian coast
west of Petrograd, in response to ap-
peals to the Allies for aid against the
Rolshevik forces, which began their
march westward across Esthonian soil
on November II, the day the German
Entente armistice was signed. On De-
cember a, and again on December 12,
the Esthonians were reported holding
out successfully against the Reds, al
though the situation was grave owing
to shortage of arms and ammunition.
Russian ships bombarded the Es-
thonian coast from Narva to Asserien
late in November, but attempts by the
Bolsheviki to land troops were frus-
trated. Asserien, where the Russian
fleet evidently has withdrawn before
the British, is small village on the
Gulf of Finland, 100 miles west of
Petrograd.
1t is possible that additional aid is
being sent by the Allies against the
advance of the Bolsheviki, as British
warships were reported in Libau, port
of Courland, early in December, and
Polish-American troops were reported
December 9 on route to Danzig. On
the southern front French forces
landed in the Ukrainian port of Odessa
December 13.
