The first Of these letters, in an
envelope postmarked Evanston. Ill.,

and dated Feb. 23, 1920, was ad-
dressed to Kennedy at Los Angeles,
and reads;

Letter No. 2.
The second letter bears the date
Dec. 26, 1919. It also was written
from Evanston and reads;
/ Dear Bolton:

Mayence, Germany.A great eNplo-

the Badisehe Anilinfabrik Company at
Oppau, on the Rhine wrecked the
town and spread death and destruc-
ton. The number of killed is esLlmat-
ed at from l 200 to 800, and the in
jlred nearly 1000.
Oppau is a scene of desolation, more
than third of the nouses having been
destroyed. while the roofs of the others
were swept off. Here also many We're
Killed or injured
The explosion is attributed by some
to excess pressure in Two adjoining
gasometers, this part of the works be-
ing pulverized. Where the gasometers
stood is now Il funnel-slaped hole l30
yards wide and forty-five yards deep,
while twisted girders and debris lie
scattered about For several hundred
yards not wall is left standing.
Ludwigshafen reports say three
workmens trains were buried under
the wreckage and many children in
jured.
Heartrending scenes We're Witnessed.
AT the little cemetery near Oppau
numerous tombstones We're hurled in
various directions There was not II
door or window left intact for Il radius
of three miles.
French medical units helped in the
rescue work. Assistance also was
rushed from neighboring towns, and
all public and private motor cars and
vehicles were requisitioncd.
The shock was felt as far as Frank
fort, more than forty miles away, and
many windows were broken there.
The whole district was enveloped in
thick smoke which, together with the
cutting of telegraph and telephone
communication with neighboring towns
hampered the efforts of assistance.
All the available fire brigades were
rushed TO the spot but the work of
rescue was found by the relief parties
to be exceedingly difficult.
Rescuers who penetrated Oppau re-
ported finding hundreds of dead and
wounded lying in the debris. The I'M
injured inhabitants fled in panic when
the explosion occurred.
A late statement issued by the man
agement of the Oppau factory says
that the explosion occurred IN res
ervoir containing POO tons of ammon-
ium sulphate. 1t adds that all neces
sary precautions had been taken SO
that an explosion appeared impossible.
