After the fire in the rear of the place

of policemen, stretched ropes across the

Some fear was expressed regarding
the safety of the f1remen working about
the front of the building. A number
Of them were on ladders and others
on the ground fighting the flames when
a large stone design on top Of the
cornice of the building appeared as II

1t was said by Mrs. Rebecca Perne,
who conducts a boarding house at l3lo
Massachusetts, avenue. that for some
time boys have played In the rear

For a time the flames theatened the

Two alarms were sounded and practl-

First to See Flames.
The fire was discovered about lo
o'clock, when Mrs. Frank w. Douglas,
who occupies an apartment on the
third floor of 1910 Massachusetts, ave-
nue., which is separated from the acad-
envy building by narrow aiieyway,
heard the cracking of wood as the fire
burned through it.
Mrs Douglas was in her apartment
at the time, and the flames had gained
considerable Roadway. She looked out
of a window and discovered smoke and
flames coming from the rear of the
second and third floors. She called to
other persons in the building, and a
telephone message was sent to fire
alarm headquarters. About that time.

been seen by citizen, who ran to the
corner Of Massachusetts avenue and

FOUR STEAMSHIPS
SUNK BY U-B0ATS
Germans Renew Their Subma-
rine Activities in the
Mediterranean.

PARIS, November 6.-The Straits of
Gibraltar have again been passed by
German submarines, which Thursday
sank two French and one Italian
steamships. The crew of one vessel is
missing. One ship was sunk Friday.
The following statement was made
by the marine ministry to-day:
The enemy's submarines. coming
from the Atlantic. passed through the
Straits of Gibraltar the night of No
vember 2. They sank November the
French ship Dahru off Arzeu, Algeria
and the French ship Calvados and the
Italian ship Ionic near Cape wi.
The crews of the Dahra and Ionic
were saved. There is no news from the
crew of the Calvados."
Sidi Ferruch Also Sunk.
The steamship Sidi Ferruch was sunk
yesterday forty miles Off Algiers by q
German submarine. The steamers
crew of twenty EIGHT men arrived to-
day at Algiers. The Sidi Ferruch car.
ried no passengers.
1t was said but recently that Ger
many had decided to send most of her
submarines to the Mediterranean, hav-
ing virtually abandoned her campaign
in British waters in consequence of the
entanglements with the United States
This disclosure is said to have been
made in the form of an announcement
by the German minister at Bucharest,
Rumania:
In England the suggestion has been
advanced that Germany's abandonment
of her submarine campaign in English
waters was due to the effective meas
ures adopted by the British and the
large number of German submarines
reported to have been destroyed.
Activities of submarines in the Medi-
terranean, according to this theory, are
designed to divert attention from the
ending of the campaign near the. Brit
ish Isles as well as to impress the Bal
kan states.
Previous Operations.
German submarines have penetrated
the Straits of Gibraltar previously dur
ing the war. This was first accom-
plished successfully when Capt. Her
sing made his now famous trip with
the U-51 from Germany to the Dardan-
Giles last spring In September num-
Der of merchantmen and transports
were sunk in the Mediterranean by
submarines, but recently nothing has
been heard of their activities.
