From Dublin TO the Vardar

1T seems far cry from Dublin to the
vardar valley, but there is no doubt
that large section of the Irish people
IS following the exploits of the Serbian
army with close attention, as they may
exercise crucial influence on Irish 20
1ltlcal fortunes. This section of the
IRISH people is the disloyal one, which
regards victories by the enemies Of
england service rendered to the cause
OF Sim Fein. But the chief ANXIETY
that the Serbian victories in Macedonia
inspires is that they may bring abont a
premature end of the war-premature
that is, from the Sim Fein point Of
view. '''' VI

More Carelessness
Found in Amboy
Explosion Inquiry
Both Officials and Workers
Smoked at Will in Plant,
Witnesses Declare
Plot Is Still Suspected
Military Intelligence Officers
Seek Hand Of Enemy Agent
in the Disaster

The problem Of where TO light one
pine in a T N T factory was what chiefly
occupied the attention of the Senate
committee Investigating the Morgan,
Y. j.. muntion disaster at the resump-
ton Of it's session in the Perth Amboy
City Hall yesterday.
A number of witnesses testified that
both officials and workmen habitually
smoked within the inclosure of the big
Gillespie plant, which blew up on Oc-
tober A and ), with a loss of sixty
eight lives and property damage cstl-
mated at s4,O00,O0O. Other witnesses
swore that workers were repeatedly
seen carrying matches about the prem
iscs, and that no adequate system OF
safeguarding against this practice was
maintained.
Plot Clew Sought
After exhaustive statements by en-
ployes, Robert Eldredge, general super
lntendent of the works, stated that the
concerns policy had been to forbid the
taking Of any matches into the various
units or the magazine section, and to
permit only safety matches within
other parts of the inclosure. Since the
explosion, though, he added, the Off
cials had decided it was best to pro-
hibit smoking altogether in the vicinity
Of inf1ammablc chemicals.
The question Of ain cnemy's agent be-
ing responsible for the disaster was
for the time being allowed to rest. 1t
was understood, however, that Senator
Myers, who was absent from yester-
days session, was personally lH.esti-
eating the fresh clew with the aid of
the Military Intelligence, and that
fresh disclosures are loked for at the
resumption of the hearing Thursday
In the mean time Senator Frelinghuy-
sen presided and the Perth Amboy
Council of Defence went on developing
its charges Of persistent carelessness
in the conduct of the plant both before
and after the accident.
In this connection testimony was
given by d former workman, George J
Harmon, who said that when he went
in to clean up one Of the units he in
variaby found the place Uttered with
rags, bits of garments, coats and trou-
sers and piles of loose TINT that had
been spilled on the floor while the
shells were being filled. He also told
of seeing an Italian loading INT with
a match in his mouth.
Colonel Gives Testimony
On the subject of the guards pro
vided at the time of the explosion
Colonel W. c. Spruance, of the Ord
nance Department, was questioned at
length by Senator ~Frelinghuysen.
The colonel said that he arrived at
Mo5gan on October 5 to take complete
military charge. He had no idea, how.
ever, how many men were under him
nor how many state militiamen were
on duty. Toward guarding .the plan,
itself, he admitted, he made no special
effort

The Convincing Test

"The U-boat war is slowly but surely
fulfilling its task of diminishing ton
mage" says Germany, who, if that be
formation than is known to the Allies.
We do not wish to underrate the sub
marine; it is always a danger and an
irritation. But the records of recent
months give no warrant for these
claims. Tonnage has not been dimin-
ished; it has increased. 1t is true that
our own losses of shipping have not
been made good by our own output of
new ships. That is because the heavier
losses fall upon US. and the shipbuild-
ing programme is handicapped by the
demands for men and materials in
other directions.
