The first OF the terrific detona-
tions, which occurred shortly after
3 o'clock. shook windows in down
town Manhattan and caused con.
siderable alarm Visions OF another
black tom disaster or a bombardment
by the Germansswere in many minds.
Burning cinders, which arose in the
heavy cloud of black smoke, were
carried by the wind across the
North river and fell along the water
front.
While the excitement was at its
height the Erie ferry house, three.

that the Jersey City fighters soon
called for outside aid. Fire ap.
paratus was sent from Hoboken, New

was blowing from the north and for
a time 1t looked as II the entire
Erie waterfront property would be
destroyed, BY desperate efforts, how
ever, the firemen confined the flames !
to an area covering about two acres,
bounded by Provost, 18th, 18th and |

Fighting under the enormous weight
of the German numbers. says Reut-
er's correspondent 1t is clearly
established that the offensive is the
great main effort of the Germans and
that it has not been successful as
they anticipated.
The Germans are now pushing
against the British lines with the
full pressure of their masses. They
have thrown in their reserves more
rapidly than they intended and are
therefore wearing themselves down,
although they are naturally tiring
the defense in the process. The cor.
respondent reports that the general
feeling is that the days of trench
warfare are definitely passed.
