JERSEY CITY BLAST .-s.s
CAUSES GREAT FIRE
Loss May Reach 00,O0-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 late to-
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
$1,500,O00. The goods stored in the
warehouse were a 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 it's
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.

STOP
GERMAN ATTACK
Broken Up By Heavy
Artillery Fire.
NORTHWEST OF TOUL
United States Infantry Comes Out
to Meet Germans But Enemy
Fails to Appear.

With the American Army ir
France, March 27.-What promised
a German attack on the American
lines northwest of Toul this morn
ing was broken up by American ar
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
though the Americans waited no
Germans appeared. What happened
on the other side of the line is not
known.

LLOYD GEORGE CALLS
FOR RREINF0RCEMENTS
Search For Signs
OF Blow By Allies
French, British and American Ar
mics in France Expected to Launch
Attack Soon-Pershing May
Take Hand.

Washington, March 27.-French
and British official statements were
scanned eagerly tonight by officials
and military men here for first signs
of the counter-blow which they
think will be delivered soon by the
allied armies in France where the
rush of the German drive apparent
ly has been definitely checked.
While no official reports have
reached the war department showing
the participation of American fore
es beyond a few engineer units
there was reason to believe that
some part of General Pershing's
army might take part in the at
tempt to hurl the Germans back.
The only report reaching the de-
partment today was a brief sum-
mary sent in by General Pershlng
showing the British battle lines as
they stood early yesterday morning.
Tonight's reports from London
showed the British defense to have
stiffened sharply in the last few
hours. Officers said the shock OF
the German drive appeared to have
been absorbed by the withdrawal
strategy of General Haig.
One thing has impressed every
BODY here. Reports from London
and Paris reflected only high pur-
pose and confidence. They read like
disratches from victorious armies.
There was not one hint of panic or
foreboding.

FULLY 100000 MEN LOST
BY GERMANS is BELIEVED
Seventh Day Of Wars Greatest Bat
tie Finds Germans Feeling Straits
Of Previous Efforts With Every
Indication That British Have
Seriously Battered Them.

The strength Of the great Ger.
man offensive in France apparently
is fast diminishing. On the sew
enth day Of the titanic battle there
were strong indications that the
enemy was. feeling materially the
strain he had undergone and that
his power had been greatly impair
ed through hard usage. ~ 4?
While the town Of Albert has
been captured from the British and
west of Royo the French have been
compelled to give ground in the
face Of greatly superior numbers,
the British have repulsed heavy at,
tacks, both north and south of the
Somme and also driven back across
the Ancre river the Germans who
forded the stream Wednesday. The
fighting still continues of sangui-7
nary character on all these sectors,
but everywhere the British and
French are holding the enemy. Es-
pecially severe has been the fighting
west of Albert, where the Germans,
in an endeavor to debonch west
ward were repulsed by Field Marshal
Haig's men with the heaviest casu-.
alties.
The British gains between the
Somme and Ancre regions are rep
resented by the recapture of the
town of Morlancourt and Chipilly.
South of the Somme they have adj
yanced to Proyart, which lies to the
south of Bray. '" 8.
It is estimated that in the great
attacks delivered in mass formation
more than 100000 Of the nearly a
million men the Germans threw into
the fray are dead, wounded or in
the hands of their foes. ,..'.. zs
Notwithstanding the strength Of,
the German drive, nowhere has the
British or French front, along the
latter of which American troops
have given a good account Of their
ability as fighters, been even dented.

HUN OFFENSIVE
SPENDING ITSELF|;
Germans Fail to Break
Between Allies Forces
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. ,
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. 49,. 49,.
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.

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
o.. 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.
owe 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
dogged pluck of our troops has for
the moment checked the. ceaseless
onrush of the enemy,a land the French
have now joined in the struggle.
But this battle, the greatest and the
!. most momentous in the history of
Z the world, is only just begun.
& Throughout it the French and Brit
ish are buoyed with the knowledge
I 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.
"It 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 I 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-
ten in our faith; we are as resolute
s ever. We are determined that,
ONE what may, we will fight on as
Ee are fighting for liberty, that
khich is dearer even than life itself.
'"Together, you in America and
of Great Britain and the allies
kn do so much, now that we are
|gether, that no human being, how
Ter great his foresight, can in
dgment measure it"
The diners sent message to
resident Wilson in which they said:
eve cheer you for your encour-
ement to the commander and SOL
hrs now defending the lines of
>dern civilization in the greatest
tile of history. May the govern
mt of Washington, represented
yourself, spokesman for righte-
kness, justice and humanity lead
cause to speedy victory"
