That the total claims against tho estate amounted to $818.16 and that Battle Front Three Great Half Circles Points Of Which .. Are Being Closed. By Webb Miller (United Press staff correspondent) Paris, Oct. 5. The great battle along the western front today is re solved into a scries of great alternat ing movements centralized around three main theaters. The battle front is taking the shape of three gigantic half circles within two northerly arcs in the heart of nor thern (France's industrial regions. At the bottom of each half circle Marshal Foch is hammering in an effort to in crease the encirclement and pinch off the Germans within. The northern arc encircles Lille, one of tre most populated centers in France, and is about forty miles in diameter. The German retreat is flat tening this are hourly. Every yard gained around Roulers and Cambrai in creases the probability of greater suc cess for the allies. Around Laon there is another arc, MUNITIONS PLANT (Continued from page one) liceincn, soldiers and civilians are ex erting themselves to save from des truction the towns of South Amboy and Perth Amboy, now threatened with an engulfing fir0 from the flying ember blown over the countryside by the terri fic detonations of thousands of pounds of high explosives. In a statement today President Gill espie, head of tke company declared that the loss of life, so far as the companj ha3 been able to determine, amounts to something rrcar fifty persons, but this is countered by statements of otkors placing the actual loss at 150. GillcspiL doclared there were seventy men in building 6-1-1 when tke first blast was toucked off. Of tkese, he declared, all but 18 have been accounted for. . The financial loss is sustained mainly by the government, for which the Oil lospio company had been operating the plant, it wus stated. Gillespie said the plant cost $12,000, 000, consisting of thirteen complete un its. Seven of those units, he said, had been completed and Wre in full opera tion. The other six were nearing com pletion' and were to have been started soon. This loss will be about what the outlay was in building cost. Loss Is a 'Million. Tho loss in shvllsand explosives, he would not estimate. Nevertheless it is known that millions of dollars prob ably kave been lost. Tke stream of refugees from the two Amboys was constant all morning. New ark reported a procession of men, wo men and children arriving in every kind of vehicle. Women carried cut glass and other breakables. PQrth Amboy and South Perth Amboy were virtually denuded of inhabitants extvpt for firemen and police. . Firemen from nearby towns who had been driven away by the early explos ions returned lator to assist in the work of extinguishing spasmodic fires that sprang up from time to time. New York experienced all the thrills of a bombardment from heavy grtil- lory. The rumble of small explosions was constant and occasionally there came a crash that shook the downtown skyscrapers and rattled windows. South Brooklyn, much nearer, experienced brok-jn windows. Polico warned shortly before noon that a tremendous blast was expected OBITUARY NOTICE. Rosa Rich Gerig was born at Wan frey, France. The 27th of August 1854.

Michael Nca,l who claims to be the father Of James Neil, deceased, mentioned in the will, asks the court for a decree over-ruling the objections of T. K. Ford the execu tor for a final settlement of the estate. Thig is the famous Neil or Neill case in which Michael Neil of Jersey City, N. J., claims to be the brother of James Neil who died in Salem, leaving an es tate valued at about $15,000, this one thirty miles across, where the rim is gradually drawing inward. The Germans are hurling tho flower of their reserves against the tops and bottoms of these two arcs Tlr a Uesper ate endeavor to check the clamping movements. There are other main area in the Champagne district, where Am erican troops are going forward across tke most difficult country, pulling their ring tignter and tignter. Tke Ameri can capture of Mont Blanc and the French success at Cormicy accentuate tne cncireling, allowing the 7a s to enfilade the enemy positions along the k:- - i -1 1 f mi vuHiu vi. uins at .miruuvuicrs. The upper arc places - tho British within sight of Lille, but efforts are being made to outflank this city in stead of carrying it by frontal assault, hoping thereby to avoid millions of dol lars damage to tne city by bombard ment. The French press is adopting a slo gan of "Village for village; church for church; town for town," in repris al for the German assault on French towns. The newspapers are urging the government to issue an ultimatum to Germany, declaring that a German town will be destroyed for every French otwn destroyed during the pres- en uernian retreat. . an ordered inhabitants of the district to open windows in preparation for the shock. Just after noon there came two detonations of terrific force. It was believed tbat a vat containing several tons of T N'T had let go. 300 in Hospita.sl Estimates of the injured in the blasts ran high. Red Cross workers and members Of a motor corps declared the total casualty list, including the dad. soverely wounded and those merely cut by flying glass, would reach 800. Con servative estimates placed the hospital list as high aa 300. At Tarryton, 25 miles north of New York, the explosion following noon was distinctly felt. Residents wore frighten, ed, bclieveing the shock an eanuqiiaKe. Ordinarily there ar0 about 5000 to 6000 workers in thw plant. Tke explo sion occurred pust after tke chango in tho shift. Hundreds of women employ ed during tho day had left the plant and none of them, it is believed, lost their lives. Great destruction was caused by fly ing shellR which mounted into the air and whistled into tho surrounding coun try as their fuses touched off by the fire. A civilian talking to a guard is said to havo been killed instantly when his head was blown off by one of these shells. The guard was not ipjured. Several theories regarding the Btart of tho disaster have been advanced. It has been stated that a boiler exploded, that a worknitn dropped a shell and that a shell became ignited. The buildings contained shells rang ing in diameter from three o nine in ches, manufactured for the most part for French 75s' and 155s'.
