FIVE KILLED; THREE HURT
IN SUBMARINE EXPLOSION
Collection of Gasoline Fumes
Causes Blast on Az at
CaVite, P. |.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Five men
were killed and three injured in an ex-
plosion aboard the United States sub
marine AT at Cavite, P. l., according
to announcement by the navy depart
ment today.
The dead are: Lieutenant. Junior
grade. Arnold Marcus; machinists mate
first class H. II. Lang; gunner's mate
second class, o. Hopewell; chief electri-
clan. J. NJ. Curry. and machinists mate.
X. A. Kunz.
The injured, all of whom were burn
ed above the waist, and\ on the arms,
were:
Chief Electrician c. Schailin; fireman,
second class, A. NJ. Jacobs; machinist's
mate, second class. l. p. Nixon.
\ statement issued by Secretary Dan
iels said:
THE cause of the explosion, from
the preliminary examination, appeared
to be due to a collection of gasoline
fumes in a pocket within the boat. The
cause of the ignition of these fumes
has not as yet been determined"
The explosion happened at 4:40 p. m.
yesterday.
The Al was one Of the oldest type
submarines. She was built in 1892 and
had a displacement of 120 tons, with a
maximum speed of nine knots and ordi-
narily carried a crew of nine men.
Lieutenant Marcus was In command
of the vessel.
The disaster to the Al is one of the
few serious cases in the American sub
marine fleet in recent years.
The FL sank off Honolulu about two
years ago with it's crew imprisoned and
suffocated by chlorine gas.
Another recent disaster was that o.
the Ell at the Brooklyn navy yard,
which resulted from difficulties with
storage battery then under test.

some increase in income taxes and
minCr increases in miscellaneous taxes.

Farmers Are Urged to
Sow Wheat and Small
Grain; Price to Be High

The state department of agriculture
proposes to begin to impress upon farm
ers all over Georgia right now the i'm
portance of sowing all the wheat and
small grain they can this fall. Sons
of the finest wheat has been grown in
south Georgia, and there is scarcely a
county in the state where good wheat
cannot be produced.
1t is pointed out that bankers and
merchants can help solve the food con-
servatiOn problem by buying in the
available wheat now, and selling it to
the farmer for seed at cost in the fall.
Conserve the seed: that's the first i'm
portant thing. Every farmer can and
should make some wheat. Pick out good
ground. get ready for it and fertilize it
we'll The country is going to need ev-
cry grain of it that can be raised, and
1t is certain to bring high prices.
