ORDERS INQUIRY INTO
BATTLESH|P BLkzES

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels an
nounced today that an investigation will
be starte<b by the Navy Department to
ascertain the cause OF the two fires on
the nearly completed superdreadnaught
Oklahoma. at Camden. n. j., ship yards
last night.
Reports have been received by the de-
partment on two other recent fires, one
on board the battleship New Jersey, the
other. on board the Alabama.
Neither report gives an yfoutldation
for rumors to the effect that the fires
were started by cranks or German
symcathizers.
Crossed electrical wires are blamed fol-
both the New Jersey and Alabama fires
and the same cause, 1t is believed will
be found responsible for the Oklahoma
blazes.
Naval officers say it is quite usual fol
two occurrences of this kind to be fol.
lowed by third. there being strong
superstition in the navy that such occur.
rences usually come in groups of three
A report on the Oklahoma fire prob.
ably will be filed with the Secretary by

II an attempt was made to torpedo the

twenty American lives were endangered
by an unwarranted attack this Gov
ernment can hardly have patience with
Gerfnnny's expressed desire not to sac

Prior to the Orduna attack, this Gov

least by her actions. was endeavoring
to recognize the principles enunciated
in the American notes-regardless OF
Gerinany's evasiyeness In diplomatic
correspondence. That there was a cessa-
ton Of submarine attacks endangering
Americans after the Lusitania tragedy
