Explosions and Conflagrations Due to Accident, Belief of Officials l:k fcf fc Rl I F- 1 Shortly before 2 o'clock an, explosion of a big oil "still" directly in the rear of the administration building started another big fire and within five min utcs had gained such headway that five alarms were sounded. All of the city's available fire ap paratus was rushed to the scene. Three ric-n were injured in the ex plosion, one of them seriously. He is 'Joseph Farrcll, a painter, living at 1435 Ritncr street. It is believed that the explosion was caused by flames from .nearby tanks. These were spread to the. stills by the fire Hunters, who were still pouring, water on the burning tanks and en deavoring to keep those that escaped last night's blaze cool. Fifteen minutes after the explosion, employes in the office building were o'rdcrcd to remove all the company's books and papers, for the flames were threatening the entire plant. Although last night's fire nt the oil works was one of the worst in the his tory of the plant, the fresh fire is likely 'to exceed it in the amount of damage wrought. The still or what is. called an agitator is located at the rear of the office build ing. It escaped the big blaze last night, 'but the fire fighters, realizing that It was still in danger owing to the terrific beat, were kept busy with the work of keeping the still cool. Two hosemen who were left to guard the still were playing a stream of water onto it when the xeplosion oc curred. Instantly a tongue of flame leaped into the air. Realizing that they were powerless to cope with the fresh fire, the firemen sounded an alarm and five minutes later sounded a second. Murphy, who had just returned to headquarters from last night's fire, jumped into his auto and sped for the oil. A glance at the mass of flames convinced him that the fire was getting beyond control and he immediately sum moned all the available apparatus in the city. The fire at the plant of the Atlantic Re fining Company la still raging, although firemen have It well under control. It Is estimated that It will not be out entirely until late this afternoon or to night. The tiro started shortly before midnight, after one of the most terrific explosions ever known In Philadelphia. It rocked the entire city, the flames shot 1000 feet Into the air, and the report was heard for many miles. No one was killed. Although 250 em ployes were working about the plant at the time, all havo been accounted for. Nearly fifty firemen and workmen were cut, burnt, bruised or overcome In fighting the terrific blaze. The condition of none serious, however. . Officials of the company place the loss at KOO.000, though firemen say It will aggre- aie tar more. The fire was said to be purely ncldental. ""Pile tho fact that the company has con tracts for thft nnvnrnmnnt in furnish netrn. ,Ieum and oil for battleships and destroyers, and the explosion itself, It was said offi cially there Is no evidence that the fire was me result of a plot W. M. Irish, ceneral manager of the com pany, said that leaking gas In one of the uus probably caused the first blaze. Work at the plant will be sorlously crip pled, but not suspended as the result of the fire. Mr. Irish Bald. While firemen were still fighting Are In Mveral of the stills the work of rebuilding the damaged parts of the plant virtually "as started. Lumber and other stills In Parts already have been hauled to the plant. Mr. Irish said that many thousands- of lallons of oil were saved owing to the draining process which drew out the pe troleum after the fire was well under way. "I cannot give high enough praise o ne firemen for their wonderful work," r. Irish said. "Wonderful U the only ay to describe it.

TEUTONS WIPED OUT IN ATTACKS ON FRENCH LINE French Retake All Ground Lost in Chemin-des- Dames Battle BRITISH SCORE IN RAIDS By HENRY WOOD WITH THH FRENCH ARMIES IN THE FIELD, July 25. In one short stroke French forces early today completely wiped out all Germany had gained by the Mix days' prodigal sacri flcfs In blood and Meel and powder alone the Chemln de Dames. The defense of this highway parallels In heroic brilliance the throwing back of the German waves at Verdun. Since Thursday morning the Crown Prince's attacks hnn been .continuous and fcirlous. His tioopn Ruucrcci enormous casualties as the price ot foot-by-foot gains. Then these same French troops who had endured the bombardment and attnek, suddenlj leaped forward and swept the Germani out of their costly gains. The reason for the Get man attacks and the massacres of German troops apparently lies In the belief of the German staff that serious Austrian peace tendencies must be overcome, the Teutonic population must be cheered up by action on land In view of the submarine failure, and enthusiasm raised for fresh war loans by some stroke of the army. In addition the observatories on Chemln des Dames are dominant In this theatre of war, and so long as the French hold them the aernwi lines are menaped, , PARIS, July 25. Once again French troops flung back pow erful German assaults last night against the California plateau the sixth successive night In which the Gormnns have vainly tried to batter through tho Chemln des Dames line. BRITISH GUNS -PAVING WAY FOR ANOTHER RIG STROKE AT GERMANS LONDON', July 25.

Military critics here predict that Hals's new stroke will be one of the heaviest of the war. Raids and heavy bombardments were re ported from the Belgian front In tho official report Issued by thj War Office at noon. An exceptionally big raid was made by the British In the Ypres sector and, In addi tion to the Germans killed and wounded, 114 prisoners were captured.
