LAKE TELLS
 WHY "A-7'
 STAYS DOWN Was Early Type, Submerged By Diving Nose Down
 ward HAD NOT KEEL TO BE DETACHED Modern Boats of Lake Type submerge Horizon-
 tally

Simon Lake, inventor of the modern submarine and builder of submarines for the United States government and foreign countries, today consented to discuss the possible contingencies which may have resulted in. the sink ing of the "A-7,' 3. British submarine lost in practice yesterday, off the coast of Plymouth, England.
 Speaking of the s<A-7,'' he said. tsThis type of boat compares with the first design used by the government, known the A or Adder type They have beth supplemented here by more modern types. The lost submarine was of.the diving pattern. which, in sinking, first depresses it's bows and then propels itself forward. and down ward.
 Although the exact nature of the accident may not be. discove vered until the boat is recovered, there are three ways in which it may have occurred It Is probable they made ready to dive and the mechanism may have gone wrong, in which case they would have kept on diving until they became firmly imbedded in the bottom. Sew era1 such instances are already upon record, in the files of the British Ad- mira1ty.
 .aTne Lake type of boat eliminates this bad feature in that they sub. meHge, or sink horizontally rather than dive with the bow down.
 . ttIt is also possible that gaso1ene explosions may have caused the ecci- dent. as the A type of boats use that method for propulsion and operation
 "A third, and likely explanation sof the accident. is that there may have been a leaky valve and that in diving to great depth, sufficient air could not be pumped into the chambers to cause the vessel to rise. If the air. in the tanks had escaped into the living compagtue enf of ,rfIe vessel through leak the possibilities of rising would be miIiirnized. A leaky valve or the breaking of the, e1ec- trfc pumps would have occasioned the. quire long and arduous operation be- fore the air could be properly con- trolled.
 ..lts is quite possible that the men will still be alive if found today, as with a proper supply df air they could sustain themselves over a period of 36 hours, before the oxygen would be exhausted. This air supply is kept in compartment tanks, and their lives will depend upon it's use and quan- tity at the time of submersion.
 This accident may be cited as one of anumber which have happened to the diving type Of. boat, while with the submersion type there has been little difficulty. Although there is lia,- bility of trouble with the mechanism Of any submarine craft, the adoption of the drop keeP, assures the rising to the surface Of these boats, for, by the detachment of this massive weight the air-fIled shell is rendered more buoyant and rises with greater ease, though valves and mechanism may be Obstructed or deranged-
 Three known instances of such ris- Ing where internal mechanism failed are already recorded in the submarine of this country

FIRE THREATENS
 STATE ARM0RY AND MANY AUTOMOBILES

Quick work by Chemical crew, and the application Of hzz water from the tanks, prevented a threatening blaze in the cellar of the state ar mory shortly after noon today. A pile of refuse near the boilers got on fire and there was sufficient smoke to give the impression of serious t1ou- ble. For short time there was much anxiety by automobile dealers
 having thousands of dollars rebre- sented in the auto exhibition. A still alarm was received at fire headquar- ters at l o'clock and, before the ar. rival of the apparatus, someone pulled box 336s Main street and Washington avenue.
