Washington, Aug. 9.-Information
furnished by officers of vessels at
tackled by German submarines along
the American coast has strengthened
the belief held by many officials thai
the enemy raiders had had comlnuni
cation with persons on shore and may
even have landed members of their
crews to secure information. The
navy department officially refused to-
night to indorse this belief though
admitting the possibility.
Positive claim that he met an OF

the oil tank steamer o. B. Jennings ii

first officer of that vessel according
to story reaching the department.
The recognition between the Ameri
can and the German is said to have
been instantaneous, the latter making
his escape when the American appeal
ed to brother officer accompanying
him for confirmation of his belief.
Other Cases Are Cited.
Other instances have been heard

Communication between the raiders

of the irregularity of the American
coasts.
Recently the precautions taken by
the authorities to prevent such com.

other messages which can not be dis

District Attorney John II. Walrath

stances" including the breakdown Of

be looked into thoroughly.
There is rumor that the tragedy,
the worst in the history of Syracuse,

Ten of the buildings were destroyed
ard others damaged. The property loss
is in excess Of 100000. The factory
will be rebuilt without delay.
The fun extent OF the disaster did not
become known until long after daylight,
when search Of the ruins disclosed the
bodies.
u. J.. Pierce, vlce-president of the
Semet-Solvay Company, said the fire
started in one of the towers of the INT
plants. The cause has not been ascer-
taned. The fire gave warning so that
workmen were able to escape and most
OF those killed or injured were fighting
the fire.
Three INT plants. one nitric acid
plant, the office and laboratory and a
boiler house were destroyed. Accord
ing to Mr.. Pierce, the men had the fire
under control and then lost the water
and this permitted the spread of flames.

Big BEEF PLANTS
FOR MEN ABROAD
Five Great RefrigeratOrs Be-

Meat Reserve.

In order to comply with the needs OF
the expanding American forces In France
five refrigeration plants. which will each
have a capacity TO freeze from 5000 to
900 tons OF beef. are being constructed
under the supervision OF Up construc-
ton division of the army.
The erection of the new plants Will
enable the army to hold greater quanti-
ties of fresh meat and other perishablcs
in France and thereby safeguard against
any temporary shortage OF supplies in
the event that food ships fail to deliver
on time as the result of the activities of
the enemy.
All the materials and machinery to
be used In the plants are being provided
from this country. with the exception OF
the lumber and concrete. Cement for
the making Of the concrete Is being OBJ
tanned in France. Due to the work OF
the forestry regiments. which have been
operating in the forests OF France, the
lumber needed for the buildings, amount
ing to millions OF board feet, will not
have to be shipped from this country,
thereby saving considerable cargo space.
The average size Of each of the new
plants is 500 feet long and 800 feet wide.
Several of the plants are being erected
with the ASSISTANCE OF INC rleiCh Ho'-

The plants will be run by technically
trained men who have had wide expe-
