JERSEY CITY BLAST. ,.a J. ..,,zr.,-5s,al
CAUSES GREAT FIRE
Loss May Reach $1,500,00-Cause
Of the Blast Unknown.

New York, March 26.-Fire fol-
lowing a series of unexplained ex-
plosions. destroyed the six-story
building of the Jarvis Warehouse
Company, Inc, near. the Erie rail-
road terminal in Jersey City lateto-
day and badly damaged the Erie re-
pair shops. No toll has been report
ed tonight. The material damage
was estimated by Jersey City police
men and fire officials at close to
S1,50O,O00. The goods stored in the
warehouse were total loss.
The cause of the explosions has
not yet been determined, although
rigid investigation was begun at
once.
The first of the terrific detona-
ton shook windows in Manhattan
and caused considerable alarm. Wis
ions of another Black Tom disaster
or a bombardment were in many
minds.
While the excitement was at its
height the Erie ferry house, three
story structure on the New York
side of the river, was discovered to
be on fire.
A stiff wind was blowing from
the north and for a time it looked
as if the entire Erie water front
property would be destroyed. The
firemen, however, confined the
flames to an area covering about
two acres.
E. ]. Jarvis, secretary and treas
urer of the Storage Warehouse Com
pany, said he could not explain the
explosion. He said all kinds of dry
materials, the nature of which he
did not know, were stored there by
various concerns.

With the American Army in
France, March 27.-What promised
a German attack on the American
lines northwest of Toul this morn

tillery fire.
The enemy had heavily lombard
ed certain positions of the Amerl-
can lines and then had sent "a sweep
ing barrage across No Mans Land.
Enemy trench mortars, firing from
the west of Richecourt, started a
box barrage and from enemy ma
chine guns came a rain of bullets
The American infantry emerged
from their underground covers at
the proper moment and advanced to
meet the expected assault. Mean
while, the counter barrage against
the German side of No Mans Land
apparently was effective for al

on the other side of the line is not

Germans Fail to Break

Mighty Effort to Separate French
and British That Each May Be
Defeated Proves Costly Failure
for the Attack, Teutons.

With the French Army in France
Tuesday, March 26.-The German
effort by terrific rush to get be-
tween the French and British fore
es, with the object of defeating
each separately, has failed up to
the present and is likely to. continue
to fail. The fighting qualities of
the allied soldiers have served. to
stay the impulsive advances, and
today the Anglo-French line is on
strong positions. ."' ~.
The next few days may change
the situation entirely, as the allies
have had time to get their ''maneu-
vering reserves" to take the initia-
tive. Noyon was evacuated late last
night in good order. &C., -,
The allies stood the test most
courageously, but such a continued
series of shocks from fresh troops
was bound to tell on tired men, and
eventually theallies were forced to
give way. But they did so still fight
ing. 4.. ;
Further powerful attacks are ex-
pected, but it is difficult to foresee
at the moment where they will take
place. 1t was said, however, that
the situation is fully in hand.

MAYOR ELECT Of ABBEV|LLE


TO THE VOTERS OF THE CITY OF ABBEVILLE
In announcing my candidacy for the Office of Mayor
of Abbeville, I respectfully submit to you few Of
the grounds upon which I ask to he elected.
III am opposed to the Act of the last Session of
the Legislature creating the Commissioners of Pub
lie Works for Abbeville. 1) This department Of the
City Government should be under the City Council.
(2) It is creating three Offices with three
salaries to pay (3) It will amount to extravagant
expenditure of the peoples money rather than
ing.
2:-I favor the almost total elimination of the
hauling of sand, and will advocate the money be used
for pavements and other permanent improvements
81 will not favor the City Council giving con-
tracts for work to any City employee, which is 7io
lation of the Statute Law of South Carolina
4:-The City of Abbeville having teams of it's own,
am opposed to the hiring of any, except in case OF
emergency, then only to the lowest sealed bidder.
81 advocate that person elected by the City
Council and working for the City should devote his
time to the said duties of said position and not en-
gage in other business that would tend to make his
working for the City Inefficient .-i
6-I believe that better service can be had IN each
department. by each of said departments being sep
arate and distinct of the other and each having it's
own head .,'>
IL do not favor excessive fines, and only such
fines as will punish the wrongdoer and deter others
from committing violation Of the law the fnes@to
be measured by the ability of the party to pay.
81 favor an equitable and effective admnlstra-
ton of the laws of the City Government and II elect
ed will devote sufficient amount OF my time to look
after the interest Of the City.
Respectfully,

British Premier Asks
United States to Hurry
Its Men Across
AT CRISIS OF WAR
WITH GERMAN HORDE
Message to Lord Reading, British
High Commissioner Read at Din
ner Given in Honor of Great
Britain's Representative in
America.

New York, March 27.-A mes
sage from David Lloyd George,
prime minister of Great Britain,
calling upon the United States to
send "American ,reinforcements
across the Atlantic in the shortest
possible space of time,"' was read
tonight by Lord Reading, British
high commissioner to the United
States, at a dinner given here in
his honor.
eve are at the crisis of the war,
attacked by an immense superiority
of German troops" said the prem
ier in his message. "Our army has
been forced to retire. The retire
ment has been carried out methodi-
cally before the pressure of steady
succession of fresh German reserves
which are suffering enormous loss
.es.
The situation is being faced with
splendid courage and resolution. The
logged pluck of our troops has for
the moment checked the ceaseless
onrush of the enemy,and the French
have now joined in the struggle.
But this battle, the greatest and the
most momentous in the history of
the world, is only just begun.
Throughout it the French and Brit
ish are buoyed with the knowledge
that the great republic of the west
will neglect no effort which can has
ten its troops and its supports to
Europe.
"In war, time is vital. 1t is i'm
possible to exaggerate the import
ance of getting American reinforce
ments across the Atlantic in the
shortest possible space of time"
After reading the message from
Mr.. Lloyd George, the British high
commissioner declared that every
nation arrayed against Germany
must muster all it's resources and
the enthusiastic devotion of every
citizen if the war is to be won.
That is the lesson which must be
learned, he declared, to achieve VIC
tory in the conflict in which the
principles upon which humanity is
based, are at stake.
cit is incalculable," said Lord
Reading, "what the results would be
if we were to fail. We can not fail,
because if we did humanity would
stagger and be crushed. But do
not for one moment contemplate a
possible failure.
'I speak for my country when
say to you that we have no fear :;
we have no doubt; we are not sha-
ken in our faith; we are as resolute
as ever. We are determined that,
come what may, we will fight on as
we are fighting for liberty, that
which is dearer even than life itself.
Together, you in America and
we of Great Britain and the allies
can do so much, now that we are
together, that no human being, how
ever great his foresight, can. in
judgment measure it."
The diners sent message 10
President Wilson in which they said:
1--WE cheer you for your encour-
apement to the commander and SOL
diers now defending the lines OF
modern civilization in the greatest
battle of history. May the govern
ment of Washington, represented
by yourself, spokesman for righte-
ousness, Justice and humanity lead
our cause to speedy victory"
