HEAVILY GUARDED NEW YORK. Jan. . A' statement that the Are and explosions which wrecked the plant of the Canadian Car and Foundry company at Kings land, N. J., yesterday was "possibly If not probably of incendiary origin," was issued here today by the officials of the company. The total loss. It was said, was $18,000,000. Of this total $10,000,000 consists of shells and explosives owneJ by the Russian government. The rest was in destroyed property of Jie ' Canadian Car and Foundry company of which half was covered bv insurance. Until investigation Is completed no further statement will be mede as to what evidences of incendiarism have been found, an officer of the company said. It was explained that the. danger of fire or of explosions from purely ac cidental causes was reduced to a minimum by the fact that no com pleted ordnance was on hand at the plant. The officer said the propelling charges for the shells were not at tached until they reached the battle field and that the same was true as to the detonating caps by which the trlnltrotuluol In the shell bodies is ex ploded. The statement said the Kingsland plant was used for the as sembling, packing end preparing these shells for shipment Large quan tities of these shells have been ahipned to Russia. "The buildings destroyed) were valued at $ 760.009. The value of the contents destroyed amounted to ap proximately i $1.000,0 of which $(.000,000 belonged to the company.

AUSTRIA FOLLOWS WITH NOTE MUCH SIMILAR TO RECENT JERLIN PAPER Says That She Is Not Re sponsible For Continu ance of War. AIMS AND PURPOSES CHARGED WITH PLOT TO AND 'BLOWUP THE STATE Berkman, Anarchist Editor of "The Blast" Is In the Toils OTHERS CAUGHT LONDON. Jan. IS. Count Czernln von Ohudenits, the Austro-Hvngarlan foreign minister, has addressed to th diplomatic representatives of the United States and other neutrals and of the Holy See, a note defining the Austro-Hungarlan government's views of the situation created bv the en tente's reply to the peace proposals oi me central powers, according to a Vienna dispatch under Thursday's date transmitted by Router's Amster dam correspondent. The note follows the same lines as the German note, the dispatch states emphasising particularly the situation existing between Austria and Serbia J in this section the note te thus quoted: "In the year's preceding the Austro. Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia the CAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IS. Alex ander Berkman, editor of The Blast,' anarchist publication, and seven other prominent in labor circles here, today were charged with having directed a conspiracy to assassinate Senator elect HlEara W. Johnson, "blow up the state and to overthrow the govern ment." Those who were alleged to be associated with Berkman Include Miss gested that the president might seek a new method of having terms com pared. Plans Discussed. In his original note he said he was Indifferent as to the m etuis employed to secure this desired end. and it was thought he now would avoid putting himself in the position of advocating a particular method. In one admin istration quarter it was suggested that one or more Kuropean neutrals might urge Germany and her allies to mane public their peace terms, and others thought it possible that a voluntary statement might be forthcoming from Berlin after the text of the entente reply had been handed to the foreign office for its Information, by Ambas sador Gerard. So far, it Is under stood, the note lias not been transmit ted to American diplomats in the Teutonic countrii, although It Is gen erally assumed that this will be the first step actually taken by the United Ptatee. Secretary Lansing broke his silence on the subject today, only to eay definitely that no action naa yet been taken. It is generally agreed everywhere that the nature of the terms of the entente, with ' .the intimations from German sources that such terms can not be accepted, make an early peace unlikely. The preliminary view of the administration, however, still Is that the door to discussion was not entirely closed. Rcets With President. In the German view here it rests entirely with the president whether there will be further negotiations at this time- It it, regarded as certain that the Germanic allies will consider any proposition Mr. Wilson may make, and that they probably would be witling even to discuss in a confer ence with their enemies the conditions stated in the entente rdply. At the same time it is reiterated that Germany and her allies never, upon any consideration, would accept such terms and should they agree to enter a conference to discuss them it would be with the idea that the en tente might recede from Us position. In this connection, the Germans ex press the belief that the entente set forth in its, note the object it desired to achieve rathef than the only terms upon which it would make peace, and that as the communication was writ ten for publication broadcast, It prob ably could not be expected tnat on jects of terms less moderate than those given could have been stated. Extreme reticence was observed to. day at the white house and state de eartment It was said so many dell' cate Doints are involved that very careful study will be given to the nroblem before any decision is re-ached. The view was generally expressed that the first milestone in the negotia. tlons Inaugurated by Mr. Wilson had been reached and that there would have to be a general assessment of the entire situation before amy furttief move could be made. No estimate was placed on the probable time which may elapse before the decision of the president is made Known, si though the long conference between the president and Secretary Lansing today, coming so soon after tho re ceipt of the entente note, was taken to mean that tner- win do no unnec essary delay- Peace and the questions ainea wnn it were discussed only generally at the cabinet meeting, but afterwards the president and Secretary Lansing went to Mr. Wilson's private study to gether and remained there for more than an hour. When he left the white house, Mr. Lansing refused to answer questions. Colonel House There. Colonel House, who came here last right to attend a dinner given In Mr. Wilson's honor by the secretary of state, remained until late this after noon and conferred with several offi cials He refused to discuss his visit Already officials are trying to work out the possible points of agreement between the opposing alliano-a ia4 upon the entente note and the Ger man chancellor's speeches. Both, It Is pointed out, agree to the evacuation of France and Belgium.
