(Continued from First Pase.)
The number of injured is 'said to total
1 nlmost a thousand.
I It is estimated that about 100.000
persons have been rendered homeless
byathe tragedy.
I As a result of orders Issued by the
I military authorities. South Amboy,
j Terth Amboy and Sayrevllle township.
j in New Jersey, near Morgan, were
! evacuated. The town. have an ag-
pretrate population of more than
CZ.OOO persons.
iLIke Bombardment.
Northern New Jersey and New
York and vicinity experienced all the
j sensations of an actual hostile bom-
bardment from the sea. land, and air.
j At almost hourly Intervals, terrific
explosions shook the countryside
! for a radius of almost forty miles
I from Morgan, N. J.
Shells and shrapnel, with the fre
quency and intensity of a great Eu
roDCan drum fire, bombarded New
'jersey town3 in the vicinity of the
caiasiropnc.
With each explosion great flashes
of yellow flame stabbed the sky.
Heavy columns of black rolling
smoke almost continuously darkened
large stretches of territory-
The War Department has taken
over the stricken and devastated dis
trict surrounding the Gillespie planL
Martial law is In force In half a
dozen New Jersey towns. United
States troops and marines are guard
ing all roads.
The damage caused by the explos
ions has been estimated by the of
ficials of the Gillespie Company to
be $30,000,000. The United States
Government will probably lose 20,
000,000. Damage to nearby towns
may total over S10.0O0.000.
Huge War riant.
The entire plant of the Gillespie
Company occupied 27,000 acres, nearly
eight square miles. It contained
thirteen unit buildings and over a hun
dred accessory houses. The thirteen
units contained a quantity of T. N. T.
and thousands of shells of all calibers.
Practically the entire plant was
wrecked. An officer of the Gillespie
! Company last night said that only two
of the thirteen unita remain, borne or
the buildings were blasted to stop the
spread of the flames.
Within a mile of the Gillespie plant
are the California and "Hercules Com
panies' plants. Great precautions
were taken to protect the latter
plants. Had they blown up an addi
tional fifteen miles of territory would
have been devastated.
Hundreds of soldiers, sailors, home
guards, plant guards, and firemen, at
great risk fought the flames to keep
them from reaching the California and
Hercules plants.
Communication with the stricken
district was almost completely de
stroyed. Telephones were out of com
mission practically all night and day.
Thousands of refugees continued to
pour into New York from New Jer
sey. They were aided by the Red
Cross organizations of the city
hastily concentrated.

were totally destroyed by the con

Al roads leading from the dev
astated zone In New Jersey were
cluttered with refugees on foot "and
in vehicles of all descriptions. Many
women had babies In their arms and
children clinging; frightened to their
skirts.
A rigid investigation of the dis
aster has been begun by Colonel
McCay under the direction of the
commandant of the Department of
the Uast. He refused to comment
on this phase of the situation.
T. A. Gillespie, president or the
Morgan munition plant, during the
day said he did not believe the ex
plosions resulted frorie carelessness
on the part of the employes and
scorned -suggestions of a German
plot. He slated that the tragedy was
probably caused by the explosion of
a kettle In unit 0-1.

"FLU" EPIDE

ton University have been ordered
closed Indefinitely because of the epi

TO FIGHT TLUT HERE
To aid in the light against Span
ish Influenza, which" is taxing the
country's medical and nursing re
sources to the utmost. Canadian
nurses are to be enlisted, the Ameri
can Red Cross announces. The neces
sity for continuing assignments to
foreign service and at the same time
supplying nurses for cantonments,
shipyards, munitions plants, and
other war Industries, has created a
situation that cannot be met by
American nurses alone. Red Cross of
ficials said.
To enlist the co-operation of Can
adian nurses a Canadian committee
on nursing service has been organ
ized by Jane A. Delane. director or
the Red Cross department of nursing,
and a call has been sent to Canada
for 300 graduate nurses to be sent
to Boston Imemdiately, and twenty-1
Ave to the National Capital, where
the situation has become acute. Miss '
Elizabeth Flaws, of Wellesley Hos
pital. Toronto, and Miss Jean Gunn.
of Toronto Hospital, have been ap
pointed to head the committee ana
to secure the nurses needed.
In the New England division of the
Red Cross, where the Influenza
epidemic is at its worst, there are
44S nurses In the field, three-fourths
of whom have been assigned to tem
porary duty with the military es
tablishments, the remainder caring
for the needs of the civilian popula
tion. LOUISIANA SUFFERS
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6. The Span
ish influenza epidemic continues to

ports reaching mc oiaie Doaru oi

There are now 425 cases of the mal
