THE ALABAMA
IN GREAT DANGER
Fire Breaks Out on Battleship
Close to Magazine.
MANY ABOARD AT. TIME
Hours Hard Work Required To
Extinguish the Fire-caIIers
Quickly Hustled
Ashore.

Philadelphia.-Five hundred visitors
were aboard the battleship Alabama,
flagship of RearAdmiral Helm, COM
mander of the reserve feet, at League
Island Sunday afternoon, when fire
was discovered under the forward tur-
ret of 13-inch guns and dangerously
close to the magazines.
Immediately the reverberant sound
Of an alarm gong began booming
through the big craft, whereat the
crew divided itself, without undue ex-
citement, into two parts, one-half
fighting the flames and the other
hustling the outsiders down the gang
plank.
Fortunately (for there was enough
gunpowder aboard the ship to blow
her into smithereens) the fire was dis
covered by jack tar of the starboard
watch before it had gained much
headway. However, it took an hour
of stiff work on the part Of the sailors
to subdue the flames, which at one
time were so threatening that a squad
of men were ordered to stand by and
be ready to flood the magazines.
In an incredibly short time every
body but the crew were ashore, while
those aboard, tense, perfectly con
scious of the danger, fought the fire
with a concentration and precision
Their efforts were directed by Lieut.
w. C. McCracken, in command of the
ship.
The smoke at first was so dense
that the exact location Of the flames
was difficult to find. All the electrical
currents in the vessel were shut of
soon as the the discovery was made
so that the frefighters would not be In
danger of receiving shocks. The mer
used portable lights, crawling in and
out of the manhole-like openings Of
the turret and working in shifts.
The Alabama only recently returned
from patrol duty of the Virginil
Capes and her magazines were loaded
to the beam with ammunition. Rear
Admiral Helm was not aboard wheI
the fire occurred. but upon returning
and learning of the way the jackieI
behaved he was quick to commend
them.
1t is believed the fire started
through a short circuit.

GERMANS GIVE
UP WEST AFRICA
Surrender Internationally to
General B0tha.
THE CAMPAIGN WAS BRIEF
Former Commander OF Boer Forces
Leads the Operations Against Ger
man Southwest Africa and
Achieves Success.

Pretoria, South Africa (via Lon
dom General Botha, commander of
the forces of the Union of South
Africa, has accepted the surrender Of
all German military forces in German
Southwest Africa. The Germans sur
rendered unconditionally following
the issuance of General Botha's ulti-
matum which expired at O'Clock
Thursday evening. With the excep-
tion of the necessary army of occupa-
ton the citizen army will be brought
home as quickly as possible.
After suppressing the rebellion
against British authority in the Union
of South Africa, General Botha took
command of British operations against
German Southwest Africa and headed
an invasion of that territory late in
February. His operations were re-
ported to be uniformly successful
The forces under his command cap
tured Olymbingue on May 4. Two
days later 1t was announced that he
had occupied the important railway
junction of Karibib and other stations

less waste, during which the troops
suffered severely from heat, thirst and
hunger.
The road to WindhOek, capital Of
the German territory, was opened by
the occupation of Keetmanshop.
Windhoek was taken May 13 without
opposition on the part of the German
forces. Martial law was proclaimed
throughout the conquered territory.
Reports from London recently have
stated that the surrender of all the
German forces was expected soon.
British military experts have contend
ed that General Botha has conducted
mastery campaign.
German Southwest Africa is located
on the west coast of Africa, extending
from the Orange River to the Cunene
River, about 900 miles. 1t lies be
tween Portuguese West Africa and
Cape Colony, extending eastward to
the British sphere. The area is 1922.

1856, chiefly Hottentots and bush
men. The European population In
1918 was 1876, of whom 1922 were
Germans. The military force, includ
ing police, is given in the latest re
ports as 1892.

Army headquarters staff gave out the
following official statement:
North of Ypres the English repeat

possession of our position on the

loss to the enemy.
due north Of Souchez, on the
Ablain, the French made an attack In

lowing morning.
Between ALLEY and Apremont

front of our new positions. The
enemy's loss was heavy. An assault
upon our position southeast Of Sender

Sent Archduke Ferdinand In
Southern Poland.

London.-The check which, the Rus
SLAMS have imposed on Archduke
Joseph Ferdinand's army in Southern
Poland and the additional strain which
this has placed on the German Gen
eral Won Mackensen's army to the
right has postponed, it is believed in
military circles here, the threatened
German offensive in the west and
there is now a possibility that the
Allies will be the first to take the
offensive.
In support of this it is pointed out
that the attacks by the German Crown
Princes army in the Woevre, which
the German press announced was the
commencement of a general movement
forward, have ceased and what fight
ing is going on along the western
front consists of artillery engage
ments and a few isolated attacks and
counter-attacks' by infantry, which
make little or no difference in the
position of the opposing forces.
So far as the Germans are con-
cerned, military observers assert they
are bound to carry out their offensive
against the Russians until there is
some decisive engagement, such as
the capture of the Lublin-Cholm rail
way, which it is asserted, would have
been in their hands before now If the
Austrians advancing toward the city
had not been driven back.
Reports from neutral sources are
to the effect that to make good their
efforts against the Russians the Ger
mans are moving troops which were
intended for the western front to the
east.
There is no confirmation Of the re-
ported Italian victory on the Corsio
plateau, but dispatches from Rome
say the Italian troops are making
good progress in their work of cap
turing the mountains around Triest,
which they hope to take before COM
mencing the advance on the city it.

Soy Passenger On St. Paul Says Sub

New York.-The German submarine
which sank the Lusitania has been
captured by the British in one of the
English Channel nets and the officers
and crew imprisoned.
This was the statement made by
Charles Lewis, 15-year-old son of a
partner in the firm of Lewis & Sim
monds, of 581 Fifth avenue, who ar
rived with his aunt, Mrs, ]. Sim
monds, on the American liner st.
Paul. Mrs. Simmonds corroborated
the boys story.
The crew were quietly placed in
prison, and no mention was made OF
the capture, because the British Gov
ernment feared an uprising of the peo
pie and a general public demand that
the crew be hanged.
THE submarine was either the U-24
or the U-29, can't remember which,
said Lewis. "The officers after theil
capture admitted it was their boat
which destroyed the Lusitania."
