THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 21, 1917. LONDON ROCKED BY TERRIFIC EXPLOSION Homes in Suburb Leveled for Blocks on AH Sides of Munitions Plant. 40 BODIES ARE RECOVERED Exact location of Works Not Given, but Belief Is Blast Was at tlie Great Woolwich Arsenal, Em ploying 67,000 Workers. (Continued From First Page.) settled down on surrounding areas. Added to the terror of this upheaval was the sudden darkness in which the entire quarter was plunged. Rescue Work Goes On at Night. Crowds of relatives and friends warmed into the East End district seeking word of those within the stricken section. At midnight while the work of rescue was still In prog ress, the area continued burning, re flecting a lurid glare over all London. All available ambulances were requisi tioned, even the London police ambu lances being sent to the distant scene, fichoolhouses and police stations were Used as temporary hospitals. The damage extended to distant points and to sections where plate Class fronts were reduced to masses of debris, while the extent and serious ness of the destruction increased in the working quarters nearer the ex plosion center. Two distinct working districts adjacent to the scene of the main explosion suffered heavily in leveled houses. One of the improvised hospitals was opened for the reception of children. Flour Mill Engulfed In Flame. Terrible scenes were witnessed when the flour mill, which was seven stories high, burst into flames. To get such a blaze under control was an impossibility, so the flremon were obliged to devote their efforts to sav ing neighboring property. Despite all their efforts, the flames rapidly spread over a large area. Heroic nurses, ambulance men. Boy Bcouts and girl guids worked to allevi ate the sufferings of the injured. One youth returned home from work to find that his parents' house had van ished in the great upheaval. He found his way to a hospital and was able to identify the unconscious form of his mother. In a mortuary he found the bodies of his father and Bister. There were hundreds who sought relatives and friends In vain. Gas Smell Accompanies Blast. An American business man, who was a witness of the disaster, gave the following account of it to the Asso ciated Press: "To me the explosion seemed . to come from everywhere around. The Bound, it is impossible to describe. "The air was full of debris almost Instantly and the crash of falling tim bers, collapsing buildings and break ing glass continued like an echo of the first crash for at least seven or eight minutes. The great flash of flame had its result, too, in sparks, which filled the sky for many minutes as far as the eye could reach. The atmos phere immediately became heavy with the smell of gas, and the faces of peo ple in the buildings turned a dull, eickly yellow. The air, too, was yel low, not the gray yellow of a London fog, but a peculiar death-like yellow, somber, lusterless, heavy, which eyes and nostrils alike resented." Scene Worse Titan on Sorame. A young army officer, who was home on leave, told the Associated Press cor respondent that he had been through heavy fighting on the Somme front in France, but that nothing he experi enced there came so near shaking his nerve as the explosion, which occurred at a point less than a mile from his home. He said: "A great glare in the sky lighted up ray room, and as I dashed into the street the whole sky was ablaze, and an explosion more powerful than any Runfire shattered my home. Then I net about aiding in the work of res cue." Those who were permitted at the ecene of devastation, soon after the ex plosion, saw many pathetic sights. A young man. Who hurried his mother and his sister from their house when the explosion began to shake it. said: "The next moment I was blown across the room with the dressing ta ble. Then the celling came down and In another Instant the house collapsed like cards and I rolled Into the street, where I found my mother and sister safe but terror-stricken. Molten Metal Scattered Far. The ruined buildings were blazing and confusion prevailed in that vicinity two hours after the explosion. The correspondent passed through the street near the scene or me disaster; the tot terlng houses still were collapsing. A fireman who witnessed the great blast from a point of vantage described it thus: - " "Through the center of a great flare, I saw a huge white ball rise to a great height and then vanish. I saw - also molten And blazing masses shooting through the air to great distances." In the center of the road 100 yards from the point of explosion stood a 10-ton boiler, which had been lifted over a whole block of houses. Another piece of machinery was found a half mile -away. Last night's explosion was not only heard within a radius of many miles from the scene, including London and suburban towns, but shook buildings end broke windows & long distance away. In normal times a panto probably would have resulted in the theaters where the audiences were Just assem bling, and in other publio places, but the population In this case was re markably cool. The general character of the explo sion, as It was experienced in the cen ter of London, was a roar of short du PURE RICH BLOOD PREVENTS DISEASE Bad blood. that Is. blood that Is im pure or Impoverished, thin and pale, is , responsible for more ailments than any thing else.

A tremendous puff of fire flashed high into the air and then quickly subsided. Eye witnesses in suburban towns said the flame had disappeared a full minute before they heard the roar which accompanied it. Works Quickly Demolished. Fire had broken out more than a quarter of an hour before the explosion, and firemen were on the spot fighting it. The day shift of workers In the neighborhood were with their families at their evening meal. As swiftly as a battleship Is wrecked by a magazine explosion the chemical works were virtually wiped off their foundation, and with them the flour mills adjoining and blocks of workmen's dwellings. Heavy clouds of smoke and flame rose to a great height throughout the night, but the worst of the destruction had been accomplished in the minute of the explosion. Many military ambulances arrived quickly on the scene, but organized rescue work was impossible for a time. One eye witness said: "I was impressed into a volunteer ambulance corps and we were rushed off into the heart of the district where ths explosion had done its- worst dam age. Fire brigades kept arriving in a seemingly unending procession from different parts of London, and from these we obtained a few necessities to assist us in our rescue work. This was carried out in houses and cot tages on the fringe of the 'wrecked area. Fragments of factory machinery weighing tons were found a half mile, a mile and even a mile and a quarter from the factory. Three houses were flattened into a mass of - kindling ' wood, and here we took us our herat rendlng work. "There were wounded who had been dug out from the debris, while others were found seriously injured lying un covered and helpless in streets, gar dens and open places. Flames from the burning buildings, which grew brighter as time went on, gave us a fair light through the pall of smoke, fog and dust. There was a lack of ambulance facilities for a time, but this was remedied before" the night was well advanced, and we developed a system. "The surprising thing was the large number of persons whose injuries at first appeared to be serious, owing to the fact that they were dazed and suffering from a species of shell shock, but who later responded to our first aid attempts and walked off fairly sound, with bandaged arm or head, to assist in the relief work. "The fire was under control about midnight, but the work of the relief force continued until dawn, when the volunteers were replaced by the mil itary and Red Cross workers' Casualty Lists Sot Prepared. The afternoon newspapers contained only the official account of the explo sion which appeared in late extra edi tions this morning, but were wen tinea with eyewitness stories and details concerning stricken families. No attempt has yet been made to collect casualty lists. The majority of the dead, and many of the severely in jured are as yet unidentified. The Lord Mayor or i.onaon win open relief subscriptions at a meeting to be presided over by him. The stricken borough today took the first steps to organize relief and arrange accommo dations for many homeless persons. The officials are caring for numbers of children whose parents are missing. The military and police guarded the stricken district all day. and the pub lic was not allowed to approacn witnin a mile of the ruined area. The area of broken windows spreaas fni- Knveral miles. Plateglass was showered into the streets from shops about St. Paul's Cathedral and In Klngsway, which is a mile rartner to rrri th heart of London, while win dows were broken in the Savoy Hotel and Queen Anne's mansions. Buildings were destroyed ana people wr killed on the opposite side of the Thames from the scene of the explo-" sion. Men in the street more man a mile away were thrown down by the concussion.

A war correspondent of the Schleslsche Voike Zeitung. who visited the scene of the recent battles southwest of Riga, on the northern end of the Russian front, is quoted by the Overseas News Agency as follows: "The violent combats took place partly during a thick snow storm. There was especially tenacious fight ing along the Clskup-Mangal road, where a battalion of guards which had been carried to the spot in automobiles, drove back the Russians who had pene trated our lines. In a wood near Stangal there was hand to hand fight ing with grenades and bayonets. Part of the Russians surrenaerea ana ins rest tried to escape through a clearing. but were mowed down by machine guns. The snow-covered ground and the wood were tun oi oeaa ttussians.

Slj-sterious Maneuvers Recalled in Speculation on Bow Provisions Are Obtained Americans May Bo Among Captives. NEW YORK. Jan. 20. The warning sent out by wireless to vessels of the entente allies by the "British authori ties, that the captured British mer chantman St. 'Theodore had been con verted into a German commerce raider, was pointed to today by local shipping men as tending to prove that at least two German raiders are at large in the Atlantic Ocean. It was recalled that a steamship had been sunk south of the equator within eight days after the Samland bad sighted the raider December 4, about 600 miles west of Fastnet. For any vessels to have covered the distance in that time, it was said, would have been an impossibility. Actions of Steamer Recalled. In the discussion of what vessels possibly could . be supplying the Ger man raiders, the peculiar actions off Cape Hatteras last month of the Portu guese steamer Faro, a former German vessel, was recalled. The Faro formerly was the Galata. The vessel was Interned In Portugal vhen Jie war started, was seized by the Portuguese government when the latter declared war against Germany, and, under the name of Faro, was put Into the merchant trade of Portugal. The American tank steamer Sucrosa, which arrived here Christmas day, re ported that off Cape Hatteras she sighted the Faro, which steamed across the tanker's bow, then circled and recrossed astern and disappeared. According to the Sucrosa' s officers, the Faro appeared the next day and re peated the performance, neither time displaying any signal to explain her mysterious actions. Vessel l.onc Silent. The Faro put Into Newport News for coal and sailed from there on December 28. since when she has not been reported. Three Americans were members of the crew of the British steamer Yar rowdale, captured by the German raider and taken into a German port by a prize crew, according to the records of the British Consulate here. Dispatches from Berlin last night said that the Yarrowdale had brought in 469 prisoners, crews from other captured ships, among them 10J sub jects of neutral nations, but no men tion was made of there being any Americans among them. The Consulate records give the names of the following Americans as having shipped on the Yarrowdale when she left here on December 6: j Dave Addison. 45 DeGraw street, . Brooklyn: Charles Qulnn, 135 West Twelfth street, Los Angeles, CaL, and C. D. Green, Sailors' Home, New York. WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. The German Admiralty statement that the neutral subjects in the crews of vessels cap tured by the German raider In the South Atlantic have been "removed as prisoners of war" will raise a compli cated question if any Americans are among them. Question Still Unsettled. The whole question turns on whether an armed merchant snip Is a war ves sel, and the gulf between this country and Germany on that question is still unbridged. No Indication has been received that any of the vessels sunk by the Ger man raider were other than defensive ly armed. The State Department has held throughout that a vessel cannot be classed as a warship unless it is under naval orders. The German Admiralty statement made Just at this time when the armed ship issue between the two countries Is becoming more complicated was tak en to foreshadow a more pronounced attitude as to the question on Ger many's part. REPORTED VICTIM IS SAFE Interned Germans Said to Plan Es cape to Join Raiders. RIO JANEIRO. Brazil, Jan. 20. The Royal Mail liner Drlna. 11.483 tons gross, which had been in the zone of the operations of the German commerce raider and which in some quarters had been reported sunk, entered the har bor at Rio Janeiro this morning. The Japanese steamship Hudson Mara, on arriving at Pernambuco Jan uary 15 with the crews of some of the victims of the German raider, had no Germans aboard, according to an of ficial announcement made here today, and consequently it is said the vessel Is free to leave port. The newspaper Anoticia, Rio Janeiro, furnishes the following statement: "We learn that since yesterday the Caproca and another German vessel interned at this port have made great preparations to escape for the purpose of reinforcing the raiders." The Jornal Pequeno, of Pernambuco, asserts that it has information that the German raider Is accompanied by three small submarines. Members of the crews of ships sunk by the raider are quoted as saying that the subma rines constantly leave the mother ship and reappear after 6hort intervals, ap parently doing scouting duty. A strange steamship with four smokestacks painted black has been sighted off Ceara. Brazil, running at high speed. The German raider, which has been operating in the South Atlantic is re ported to be equipped with collapsible smokestacks, the number of stacks visible being changed at Intervals to disguise the identity of the vessel.

T Government Witliholds Details Re garding Raider. BERLIN, Jan. 19, via London. Jan. 20. N'ews of the safe arrival of the Yar rowdale in a German port has added to the gratification expressed In the German press over the exploits of the mysterious German commerce raider, as reported from Brttl6h sources. The name of the cruiser and Its commander are being withheld by the naval au thorities and nothing was known until today about the arrival of the Yarrow dale, although she has been in port for more than, a fortnight. The na tionality of the neutrals among the captured crews is unknown, but some of the captives are held as prisoners of war, because they accepted service on armed mer:hantmen. The prize commander. Petty Officer Badewitz, was a member of the crew of the raider Moewe and was In com mand of the British ship Westbourne. which brought the crews of a number of ships sunk by that raider to Tene rlffe. He afterward destroyed the Westbourne to prevent' her faHing into the hands of English cruisers. Bade witz was held in Spain after the Tene riffe exploit, but succeeded In escaping. AMSTERDAM, via London, Jan. 20. According to an official statement from Berlin, says the Cologne Gazette, the British steamer Yarrowdale. carrying crews of steamers captured by the Ger man raider in the Atlantic, was brought into the port of Swlnemuende.

A Pernambuco dispatch to the Dally Mail describes the destruction of the British steamer Dramatist by the German commerce raider. The Dramatist sighted the raider December 18. The German rap idly closed in and when alongside hoisted the German naval ensign and signaled the Britisher to stop. Imme diately afterward trapdoors under the bulwarks at the raider's forecastle were dropped, revealing two guns. The crew were sent on board the raider. The steamer was sunk by explosives. The crew of the Dramatist were transferred to the Hudson. The cap tlves say the Germans were courteous and gave receipts for their captures. One receipt was signed "Wolff." The men of the Dramatist say that the raider appears like an ordinary cargo steamer and when passing neu tral ships hoists the British colors. STOPS TOBACCO HABIT.

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, lame back. can. Instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning. We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate In It to flush from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the pre vious day's Indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleasing. sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach. The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully Invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it Is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter of a pound of limestone phos phate will cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient o make anyone who is bothered with biliousness, con stipation, stomach trouble or rheuma tism a real enthusiast on the subject of Internal sanitation.
