CATCHES ON FIRE AND MAG
AZINEs EXPLODE.
FEW JUMP AND SAVE LIVES
Sailors Work Desperately to Save Yes
eel From Flames, Needless Of
Their Own safety--Debris Carries
Death to Other Ships.

TOulon, France.-An appalling naval
disaster attended with enormous loss
Of life occurred at daylight. when the
.battleship Liberte, one OF the finest
vessels In the navy. blew up In this
harbor. The death loss is estimated
from 300 up to 400 or more. The killed
include officers and men OF the L.
berte. and also large number OF
those from nearby warships.
The precise cause of the fire and ex-
plosion is still matter Of speculation.
The Liberte was anchored in the road
stead, where she had lain since the re-
view of the feet by President Fail
Heres on September 4. Around her
and not far away were her companion
ships. all OF which by the very force
Of the explosion added from their, own
crews to the list OF the Liberties
dead. The Verite was the nearest at
hand. and the flying fragments and
bursting shells played havoc with the
panic-stricken sailors helplessly watch
ing the fire from the decks.
It was o'clock In the morning
when the fire was discovered. and
many OF the Liberties crew were
asleep. The alarm was sounded and
the order given to flood the hold. a
useless effort in the quick rush OF the
flames. +
y Almost Immediately series Of deaf
ening explosions fell upon the air.
The Liberte shook from one end to
the other, great holes opened in Its
armor and the terrified sailors. realiz-
ing their peril at last, would have
jumped frantically into the sea. They
were too. late. Already the work Of
destruction was complete. One final
and awful explosion Infinitely more
terrifying than those preceding rent
the great ship in two. The huge frag-
ments shuddered, and a moment later
the Liberte was at the bottom OF the
sea. :st Il
1t was discipline, strangely enough,
that caused such frightfui loss OF
life. Most of the sailors were asleep
at the time Of the alarm. At the first
explosion, for only small squad had
bene called to fight the fire, they tum-
bled from their berths and were about
to jump overheard when a sharp order
recalled them to their posts. These
met death when the ship went down.
and after the final explosion. out OF
the floating bodies that mingled
with the debris on the surface OF the
water. only q few were saved by, the
cruising boats, launched too late to
rescue the injured and the drowning.
