Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Philadelphia greets New Year officially with Mummers parade. First Hindu temple erected in Western Hemisphere is wrecked by bomb which kills one and injures many in San Francisco. Legend of the Adirondacks is told in pageant held on snow covered mountain side at Lake Placid, New York. Great fire sweeps terminal and ferry building at Camden, N.J., entailing loss of $300,000 and causing serious tie-up in railroad traffic. Transport Buford with Thirtieth Infantry sails from San Francisco. It is to make its way east through the Panama Canal, the troops going to permanent quarters at Plattsburg, N.Y. This is the first time troops have transferred through the canal. Belgian troops who fled across the border into Holland are set at work building their own camp where they will be held pending the end of the war under Holland guards. Interesting pictures from A.E. Wallace, staff photographer of the Hearst-Selig News Pictorial in the war zone. For the first time in more than a century hostile troops have struck a blow against England on English soil. Remarkable motion pictures show the damage that was inflicted when the German fleet steaming out of the fog along the English coast sent its shells screaming into Scarborough. Many views show the damage sustained, and depict the precautions taken by the English government to protect the towns against further attack.
