SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN, Springfield, Massachusetts, September 26, 1911

* French Battleship La Liberte
* Explosion disaster (1st report)

This 18 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page that include: "LIBERTE BLOWN UP", "OVER 300 ARE KILLED", "FRENCH NAVAL DISASTER", and "FIRE REACHES MAGAZINES" and more with photo of the warship. This tells of the explosion of the French Battleship La Liberte. Nice to have report on the front page

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Light browning, minor margin wear, otherwise good condition. Should be handled with care.
