It was 100 years ago today and WWI was raging, then the Germans burned down a factory in Trenton...

Or, at least all indications are the Germans burned down a factory in Trenton 100 years ago today. First a little backstory:

“New Jersey was the center for so much spy activity, from the cells in Hoboken to Black Tom to the boarding houses where schemes were plotted,” said Howard Blum, a writer and historian who published the bestselling “Dark Invasion” about German wartime espionage last year.

“Everything came through New Jersey ports,” added Jules Witcover, a journalist who wrote “Sabotage at Black Tom” about the terror campaign. “Everything.”

So get a good cup of coffee and read about the secret espionage and the fact Germany was targeting NJ ports and factories like the Roebling Works which was burned down 100 years ago today...
