PHILADELPHIA HARD HIT.
Forey-three Public Schools Failed to
Reopen Yesterday

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-Forty three
pubic schools in this city failed to open
yesterday after the Christmas recess as
result of the continued severe cold wealth
er. About $4,000 pupils are affected.
Lack of coal forced the closing of most
OF the schools, while others were closed
because of frozen pipes in heating appara-
tus and boiler trouble. A score or more,
it is expected, will be reopened today
Only about half of the city's street
gas lights were burning last night, as the
demand for gas during the cold spell has
so far exceeded the supply of the United
gas improvement company that it was de-
cided to cut down the street lights in or
der to supply householders. Hundreds O.

a Zeppelin shed, usually containing two
or three airships, was erected in close
proximity to the works. For the kite
balloons at the front the gas was sup
piled in steel tubes in the iquifed
state. Moreover, the extenaive cleo
trolytic plant was further utilized to
produce asphyxiating gas and laehryma:
tory and poisonous shells. Indeed, it
was the greater center of this manufac-
ture in Germany, and in 1916 the out
put of poison gases reached the colos-
sal figure of nearly 100000 cubic feet
day.
The extent of the material loss. which
Germany has suffered by the destruc-
ton of the Griesheim factory can thus
be easily comprehended But the disas-
ter is of still wider significance. The
variety Of the materials formerly pro-
ducedt means, in such a closely inter
locking industry as chemical manufac-
ture, that every concern in Germany
10 affected, both from the cutting off
of supplies which many of them former,
1y drew from Griesheim and from the
necessity of making the loss of these
hsupplies good from plants already work
ing to their maximum. The loss OF
aeores of trained workmen and special
lists. in the factory itself and in the
dwellings within its confines will make
the task of coping with this deficit
all the more difficult.
Even if the material loss can be sue
cessfully replaced the problem of col

plosivea and acids from various quar-
/ ters and conveying them over the great
er distances thus made necessary i

gtituted during the war, and sooner .
later Germany must show on her fight
ing fronts the effects of this stagger
ing blow which she has suffered within
her own territory.

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Jan. 1.
Correspondence of the Associated
Prea,. THE anti-aircraft barrage is to-
day the most dreaded enemy weapon
which the airmen has to face in his
flights over the lines. In the midst of
sea of bursting shells, the airplane
bobs up and down like a ship in VIC
lent storm. The conclusions which the
shells make in bursting produce swift
succession of air pockets and air bumps,
and it is absolutely impossible to keep
machine steady through them. Mean
while there is the strain of knowing
always that the next instant one of the
thousands of flying shell splinters may
reach vital spot in either machine or
pilot.
Yet il is not possible to AVOID flying
through a harrage at times. The latest
type of anti-aircraft guns can place a
barrage as high as $4,000 feet, and il is
not practical to turn about and try to
| climb over the barrage., 1t takes a
very highly specialized scout machine
| to climb to $4,000 feet, and the heavier
machines cannot achieve that altitude
under any circumstances.

run the harrage, the longer he is Ok.

merry ut the front has now reached a

cea1es of triangulation and, therefore,
| the flyer who hesitates is lost The
only thing he can do is to take his
chance, just as a ship at sea takes a
| storm and accepts its chances Of
weather in the gale.
Next to the barrage, the most feared
of the ground defeEsos is the "elus-
ter. This is a group of six anti-air-
craft shells, sent up together, AMI
placed lust ahead of the machine, with
one shell aimed to burst the tip of the
fuselage, two on each SIDE of it, two on
each side lust ahead, and one farther
and directly ahead
The side-shp is the favorite protec-
ton against these " clusters The anti
aircraft eunners get their range nova
days so accurately that the slightest
move out Of range is fairly certain to
get the machine out of danger 5 way
unless the gunncrs have anticipated
this move, as they sometimes do. by
