Twenty-eight hours after the first
detonation, that is to say at midnight.
explosions still were occurring at in
tervals of three or four minutes,
though none of them was severe. At
that hour it was discovered that
that there still were q number Of
refugees In South Amboy, and
trucks were sent from Perth AmbOy,
manned by volunteers, to bring them
out.
Estimate of Casualties.
The loss Of life is estimated by
Mr.. Gillespie as between % and so;
and the number of injured at pos
sibly 80. For an accident-if acci-
dent it was-of this magnitude, the
human casualties are comparatively
slight. From the standpoint OF
Americas interest in the war the
outstanding fact Is the source OF
21,ON big gun shells day, which
were lightered from Morgan to ships
and so sped on their way to the bat
tlefields, is suddenly cut of. But 1t
will be restored swiftly. The War
Department announced yesterday
that the moment the fire still soaring
the ruins of the plant is put out
and the debris cleared away rebuild
Ing will begin.
So If any person thought that by
touching Off the Gillespie factory he
could seriously impede the flow OF
munitions to Pershing's army, he Is
mistaken. And big as it was. this
factory was only one of myriad
that are engaged in its kind of work.
A worse explosion than any that
had occurred was feared.
In an underground magazine along
the bank of Cheesquake Creek,
which flows through the 2,3OO acre
plant at Morgan, were said to be
stored 100 tons of TINT. On five
barGes mOored In the Raritan River
were between coo and 1000 tons OF
the hellish stuff. There was danger
on two counts: that the fire might
spread to these stores and touch
them off, that shells which were fly
Ing all over that part Of New Jersey
might do the trick. The resulting
explosion would be frightful.

German Claim Of Americans
Defeated in Fighting Not

LONDON, March 25

On the battle line in France the san-
culinary struggle is still going on, with
the British troops on most OF the sec
tors apparently holding their own out
with the Germans AZ salient points sun
pressing forward.
The town Of Chauny, southwest OF
St. Quentin, situated on the road to
Compiegne. the gateway to PARIS, mas
been occupied by the Germans. ano'
according TO the Berlin official commu-
nicatons. everywhere between the
Somne and the Oise rivers the Ger
mans are pressing their advantage.
Throughout Sunday along the entire
5or7iIe battle frcns the fighting never
ceased for a moment and where Field
Marshal Aaig's men we're unable to
Withstand the terrific onslauehts de-
Iivered by greatly superior torces'

ly fashion.
In. addition to chauny, the Germans
are claiming tine capture Of both 70,
rome and Ham, and to nave Increased
the number of prisoners taken 10 more
than 10000, in addition to 600 guns
and LARGE stores of war materials.
It is claimed also by the Germans
that American and French regiments
which were brought up to reinforce the
British have been defeated. but no FUR
ther information than this mere state
ment has been vouchsafed.
In their retirement. according to Ser-
lin. the British are burning towns and
villages behind them. This statement,
however, seemingly is capable Of being
received with reserve. as the Germans
themselves, in their famous 'strategIc'
retirement left little standing in the
territory they evacuated, even denud-
ino the country Of trees.
One Of the mysteries of the offensive
which has now been solved is that the
sheiline Of Paris is being done by a
!ona-rangs German gun. This state
ncnt is contained in the Berlin official
communication. and d Paris dispatch
says that one Ct the guns has been To-
ca;ed rear LacH, about rs miles from
the center Of Paris. Throughout Sum-
day morning and into the mid-after-
noon shells were dropped in Paris at

The Germans, on the other hand,

hurting vast hordes into the fray with
utter disregard for life and have fol.

More than fifty German divisions al.
