Directly across the street every
pane Of glass in the first three floors
OF the Commonwealth-E Edison and
Marquette buildings was blown In
upon occupants of the offices, stores
and restaurants. Many of the in
jured were cut by these flying frag-

where the explosion took place was
hurled to the floor and their cries
soon filled the building and halted
the first panic-stricken rush of the
uninjured to escape from other en-

The streets outside were soon
roped off by policemen and ambu-

GERMAN-AMERICAN
ASKS U. S. LOYALTY
Appeals to Men of Same Extraction
to Aid Liberty.

Pointing to the historic deeds of
sacrifice which German blood has
wrought in the structure of Amer
lean institutions. Adolph A. Berle.
chairman of the committee of Amer
leans of German ancestry of the
New England liberty loan legions,
has issued an appeal to those of his
kindred in this country to take
their stand as firmly in defense of
American institutions as their an
cestors did in the past.
Men of your blood he says,
were with George Washington. and
formed his body guard; men OF your
blood were in the war of 1912; men
of your blood by the hundred thou
sand were in the civil war; they
stood around the government then,
and unless they have forgotten
their heritage in American history,
their descendants must be as loyal
now.
ut will be glorious day for
Germany. when freed from this
great burden of shame, she takes
her place among the nations of the
