FIRE WRECKS ERIE'S
JERSEY CITY PIER 9
Quick, Hot Blaze for an Hour
Defies Attacks by Land and
Hudson River.

Fire destroyed the Erie Railroad Pier
No 3. Twelfth street, Jersey City, last
night. and before the Jersey City fire
department. the Erie and Lackawanna
fire beats and the fire tug William J.
Gaynor of the New York Fire Depart
ment conquered the blaze, It looked
as though the entire Erie terminal was
doomed.
1t was a fierce blaze, despite the fact
that II lasted little more than an hour.
The actual loss will not amount to more
than $150.000 inasmuch as the pier was
one of the oldest on the Jersey City
waterfront. and. because Of that fact,
easily burned.
Eight freight cars loaded with leather
and lying on the tracks near the pier
were considerably damaged. but not
wholly consumed The heat was so in
tense and the difficulty of the fire en-
gines negotiating the tracks so great that
the fire gained considerable headway
before 1t could be fought. Many cars
containing more valuable goods were
shifted out OF the burning area
A pile driver owned by the Merritt
Chapman Wrecking Company and sta
toned at the end of Pier was wrecked
by the fire. and two barges, one loaded
to capacity and the other empty. were
ablaze before the tugs could fasten lines
to them and drag them into the middle Of
the Hudson River. However both these
barges and their contents were saved
from great loss.
There were two rather heavy explo-
sions. Both were mysterious of origin.
Erie Railroad officials insisted that
there were no explosives on the pier
Neither dctonation did any additional
harm.

GERMANS WILLING
TO BEGIN BUILDING
WAR TORN FRANCE

London, April %. (By The Associ-
ated Probationary has sent note
to the British government reiterating
her complete willingness to under
take the reconstruction of devastated
France
The note, which came from the
German foreign office, was delivered
by the German embassy to the Brit
ish foreign office this evening. 1t fol-
lows:
Germany is absolutely persuaded
that it is unavoidably necessary for
the purpose of restoring economic
peace throughout the world that the
territories devastated through the
war should be reconstructed and re-
stored. Until this is done there will
he danger that feelings of hate will
continue to exist among the nations
concerned.
Germany. therefore, declares her
self once more to be entirely willing
to cooperate in this reconstruction
with all the emans and strength at
her disposal and to take into account
in regard thereto, in every individual
case, each wish of the power con-
cerned as far as Is possible"
The note sets forth, in great de-
tail, the possibilities of reconstruc-
ton, first for Germany to take over
specified localities, either as a state
undertaking. or by directing the work
Il
ment association; second. to under
take the work Of clearing, afforestra-
ton, building and repairing brick
works and works for the production
of chalk, plaster. cement and other
necessities and the building materi-
ais from Germany; third, to arrange
that all such machinery and materi-
ais shall come from Germany, and
fourth, TO start Immediately plans to
build at least $4,000 wooden houses in
the devastated districts before the
cold season begins.
Other clauses of the note specify
the execution of deep and shallow ex-
cavations of all kinds, according to
the plans and under the control of
the French authorities, or otherwise,
according to the wishes Of the allied
governments
The German government expresses
. willingness to help in any way pos
sible to take over the cost in paper
marks, the amount to be reckoned
against the Preparations account, and
generally to cooperate in every pos
sib,e manner.
TIL note is signed by Dr. Walter
Simons, the German foreign minister.
It requests that the allied govern
rnents initiate at the earliest possible
~-"rent the necessary discussions of
ietails.
