FURTHER EXPLOSIONS OCCUR
GERMAN MUNITIONS DISASTER WORKMAN GIVES WARNING (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph 1 Copyright). . BERLIN, June 13. In the early morning the dull glow of flames still marks the ruins of-the biggest «-.ncr most modern explosiv e works in Germany, says the “Daily Telegraph’s”, correspondent. There were altogether SOO workers at Reinsdorf.
The disaster originated in a storeroom filled with dynamite. Many more would have lost their lives here but for the presence of mind of a workman who, when he saw the flames, called his comrades, who rushed from the building. . No warning was possible in an adjoining building, where the roof collapsed and buried the workmen. Four serious explosions occurred during the night. s Residents of Reinsdorf assess the casualties much higher than the official estimate. Some say fully 500 are dead or injured.
