FEARFUL EXPLOSION

 FATAL TO HUNDRED

Continued from Page One) had no information as to the extent of the damage.
 The first explosion. starting from an unknown cause. set fire to one of several small buildings situated for more than two miles along the Sheese- quake creek. The flames spread from building to building, starting a series of explosions. Scores of persons are reported injured and several killed.
 South Amboy, located a mile and half from Morgan, felt the full force of the explosion. which shattered nearly all the window glass in the place. As explosion followed explo- sion. the population became panic stricken and fled.
 Hundred Thought Killed Two ambulance loads of injured have arrived here and the victims taken to the city hospital. They brought with them reports that more than 100 workmen are believed to have been killed in the explosion. as the full night shift was at work at the time. It is estimated that perhaps as many as 1000 men were in the building. | After questioning doctors who re

turned from Morgan with the patients the police estimated that at least 100 persons had been killed. Many others they said, had been stunned by the force of the explosion but had been able to crawl from the buildings.
 Frantic with fear, women seized their children, rushed into the streets and seeing a volume or smoke rolling towards them, ran to the bridge which leads over the Raritan river, towards Perth Amboy. This bridge soon held a great mass of fleeing humanity. Forcing their way through the pedes- trians were numerous automobiles, whose drivers also sought safety.

 In the Lille Sector the Germans are falling back eastward, leaving only rear guards behind to protect their re- treat; apparently thvy are headed for the Canal de Hante- -Deule, which has almost been reached especially in the southern portion of the sector.
 It now is definitely established that the Belgian troops did not actually hold Roulers but, because it was at the peak of the wedge which they have driven into the German lines here. the advanced troops were drawn in a little. in view of the possibility that the Germans had a slight oppor tunity of cutting them off. Mean while the wedge in this region has been widened so that it seems that at the proper time the Belgians will take up their Roulers positions again. Ap- parentlv they can do this at any time they desire
 Hun Kings Flee War Zone
 From civilians freed from the Ger mans in Flanders, it was learned to- day that the kings of Wurttemburg and SaXony both norrow>y missed hay ing something happen to them at Dadizeelle, northwest of Menin, a few days ago. Both mDnarchs were in the town when the British guns suddenly opened upon it with a whirlwind bom- | bardment. They fled in 9 hurry and as l far as it known, managed to get away safely.
 Some enlightening information was gained from these liberated Flemings. Some of them from Ledeghem said 1 that ever since the Germans first came back to their town in 1914 they had forced all civilians to sleep on the floors, while husky Germans occupied | their beds. Twenty eight of the Vil- lagers were killed by Germans One of these was taken out, stood against a wall and shot. The villagers were led by the American commission for relief in Belgium they said, but the | Germans always took this food away from them and gave them their own German rations. which invariably were bad and unfit to eat.
 Germans Afraid of Scots
 It was on the 2Sth of September that the Germans ordered the villagers oi Ledgehem to evacuate the place, but many of them hid in cellars or in the suburbs of the town, where they re- mained until the British entered. The Germans told the villagers that they would like to surrender to the Scotch troops, but that .the Scots had the nasty habit of cutting threats of the Germans when they caught them. ant therefore they were afraid to take 2 chance. The Germans, the villagers said, also told them terrible things these British would do to the villager. when they entered the town.
