Camden, n. j.. July 21.-Nine COM
partments Of the dreadnought Okla
homa were so badly damaged by a
mysterious fire that they will have to
be rebuilt, according to a preliminary
examination made to-day at the New
York Shipbuilding Company's plant.
The cost of the blaze will run high
into the thousands, officials found It's
cause is still a mystery, according TO
Captain Kemmerling. Many Of the
steel bulkheads forward have been
badly warped. The deck plating has
been damaged and the electric light

Extra details of guards are on duty

TWO MORE FIRES
STIR NAVY YARD;
INQUIRY ORDERED
New York and Warning
ton, Destroyer, Threat
ened by Blazes.
ACCIDENTS" TOTAL
FIVE IN TWO WEEKS
Officers Renew Vigilance, but
Commandant Denies Visitors
Are To Be Barred.

Two blazes were discovered Yesterday
aboard the battleship New York ana
the destroyer Warrington at the New
York Navy Yard The fires started AL
most simultaneously and were put out
by men aboard the vessels. Ohicers re-
fused last night to make any state
ment.
The fire on the New York is regarded
as significant in view OF the fact that
a man was arrested early Sunday morn
ing as he was about to go UP the gang
plank Of the battleship. He coolly ad-
mitted he wanted to start a fire on
board. He was placed under guard at
the marine barracks. Yesterdays fires
are under investigation.
Lieutenant Palmer is in command OF
the New York in the absence Of Cap
tain Thomas Rodgers. On the warship
il was said that the fire was started
by some one who threw a lighted ciga-
rette into waste heap. Before the
flames had made any Roadway they
were put out. Workmen in the waist
of the vessel are said TO have caused
the fire.
There was a re in the timber shed
few nights ago, and the fact that the
shed is not far from the New York has
caused the officers more worry. Men
who have been in the navy yard for
several years pointed out that the New
York is in the "hoodoo" drydOcE. which
was constructed at the cost of many
millions of dollars and severa. lives.
The blaze on the Warrington was
caused by a cigarette thrown on an
awning. One of the boats used 70
carry dispatches was slightly dam
aged. but the crew quickly put out the
flames and notified the commanding
officer.
These fires bring the total to five
within the last two weeks. II was said
at the navy yard early last week that
bomb had been found in The coal OF
the tender Fulton. Investigation
showed that the story was false. Rear
Admiral Usher, commandant of the
ward, denies the story that the navy
ward was TO be closed TO visitors. It
was stated by another officer that the
ward could not be closed without an
order from President Wilson. During
the Spanish-American War visitors
were barred, but no such action was
taken during the trouble with Mexico
last year.

School Lyceum

The community Is to have the
pleasure of enjoying lyceum course
this year. 1t has been several years
since such course was arranged
for the people who want high class
entertainment for low price. Tht
superintendent Of the city schools
nas taken upon himself the duty ol
furnishing the school and people witt
live numbers to be given by the Red
path Lyceum Bureau. This is withot
question the best company through
out the whole country. In the East
Ind South every year they send the
oest musicians, speakers, actors and
entertainers of all descriptions who
play before the people in large tents
On many occasions they have audieD
ces of three thousand and sometimes
more and this three times q day
for q whole week In each city.
In the winter months the Redpath
Ieople give Lyceum courses instead
of the Chautauquas and they still
have the same high class artists
Mountain Home will have four differ
ent programs and home talent play
as the fifth. We are to have the
same players and musicians as the
Chautauqua furnish and who are
heard by audiences of three Thousand
people There can be no greater
proof of the genuineness OF these
entertainments than this.
The first number of the Lyceum
course given In Mountain Home will
Je the Panama Singers, October 49,
.ns in all probability will be given in
one of the churches of the city, al
though this matter has not been def.
initely arranged.
Tickets will be placed In the hands
of the school pupils for sale. Sea,
son tickets will sell for one dollar
to school pupils for the five perform
ances. This is 20 cents for each en-
terta!nment and certainly every boy OF
girl In the school can afford this.
Season tickets to others win be highe
,ut the price has not been definitely
fixed Individual tickets to each per.
formance will be fifty cents. The
usual price to all parties ts two dol
lars for the season tickets.
1t is we'll to keep In mind that
while the superintendent Is taking
the responsibility of bringing these
people here he will turn over what,
ever surplus there Is at the end OF
the year to some useful or philanthrop,t
cause. His object in bringing the
high class entertainers to Mountain
Home is to provide the pupils, teachers
and people in general with something
or communities are having ano
enjoying. The teachers especially
have felt the loss Of Lyceum courses
and also the people. With your sup
port they are here to stay. Remember
the Panama singers Tuesday, October
18th.

Washington. Germany has COM
pletely acceded to the American de-
mands for settlement of the Arabic
case. The imperial government, In a
letter presented on October by its
ambassador, Count Won Bernstorf, to
Secretary Lansing, disavows the sink
ing Of the vessel, announces that 1t
has so notified the submarine COM
mander who made the attack, ex.
presses regrets for the loss OF Ameri-
can lives, and agrees to pay an in
demnity to their families.
Official Washington was both graf
ified and relieved by the diplomatic
victory The communication deliv'
cred by the ambassador pursuant to
general instructions from his govern
ment, spread absolute confidence that
here would be no more submarine
controversies between the United
States and Germany for the document
reveals that stringent orders have
been given to submarine commanders
20 prevent recurrence of such Incl
Tents as the Arabic.
Since this case embraces the prin
.iples for which President Wilson cor
ended In his notes following the to-
edoing of the Lusitan!a and the Fal
aba, the concessions made by Ger
many to the American viewpoint
we're generally regarded as paving tht
ray for amicable settlement OF a..
the cases which have threatened
severence of diplomatic relations be-
,ween the two countries.
Count Won Bernstorff left here Tues.
day night happy over the results OF
his work, expressing the confident
hope that relations between Germany
and the United States would continue
to improve.
With the settlement of the Arabic
controversy the dispatch to Great
Britain Of the long-delayed American
note on interference with trade Is ex-
pected within a few days. President
Wilson has consistently refused to
send this communication while the Is
sues with Germany were pending, be-
cause the Berlin government had.
through its notes, given the impress
sion that on the action which the
United States took with one set OF
belligerents depended its own con-
formity to international law.
