TWO FLIERS CRASH TO
DEATH AT BAY SHORE
Explosion in Engine to Be Probed
by Government.

Bay Shore. n. Y, Aug. 1.-two
hyiators were dashed to death from
a height of 500 feet here today within
sight Of a score or more Of other air
men whose machines were flying at
the time.
Tne aviators were: Lieut.. Harold F.
Maxon, 3. Of Los Angeles, and Cadet
r. F. Gedeon. "a. of Titusville. Pa.
The plane in which they flew was
pne of a squadron sent from the
Hampstead Field to cross great South
Bay and circle over the ocean near
the coast line to look for submarines.
When near the estate Of Horace E.
Havemeyer here there was a loud ex-
plosion in the planes motor, flames
shot backward and the machine
turned nose down and plunged to
earth.
Gedeon's safety strap broke and he
was catapaulted from the falling ma
chine. striking the ground a little dis
tance from the wreckage. He was in
stantIy killed.
Lieut.. Maxon was entangled in the
twisted debris and survived but a few

SOLDIERS WIFE MUST
BEHAVE, SAYS u. S.
Will Lose Insurance If Convicted
of Misconduct.

Uncle Sam not only protects his SOL
diers with insurance policies. but goes
a step farther and insists that, for q
soldiers wife to benefit by these in
surance policies, she must behave
herself or lose thereby. In other
words, the wife of soldier rlust not
have an affinity, unless at her own ex-
pense.
The aid Of the police department has
been enlisted in keeping straight the
vast number of women left behind by
the boys over there and in camp here.
Members of the police department.
have been instructed by Mai. Ray
mOnd Pullman, superintendent OF po-
lice, to report Immediately to him any
case Of immortality on the part Of the
wife of a soldier. Upon her Convjc-
ton, the Bureau of War Risk insur-
ance chops or her allowance. This is
done not only to protect the man at
the front, but to protect the women
from themselves. The government IN
tends to make immortality as unattrac-
tive as possible. at least as far as SOL
diers' wives are concerned.

The boats are made out of sheet
steel stampings, pressed from sheet
metal In the fabrication shop these
plates-keel. floors, beams, angles,
frames-are shaped. and then run
through great punching machines that
cut out dozens of rivet holes at time.
Service railways run from this shop
to the assembling plant. which cover
thirteen acres of floor space. The keels
are laid and the complete hulls built
on 12x12 timber mounted on twelve
standard steel car trucks. operating
on ordinary rails. There Is room for
seven of these trucks in each shipway,
and there are three shipways. To the
keel the frames are added, then the
bulkheads, plates, the decking, and at
the seventh operation the hull is COM
plete and the boat ready for launch
ing.
How Boats Are Launched.
At the lower end of the assembling
plant, a great transfer table operates.
Onto this the car trucks carrying the
complete hull are run, and this table
connects with the launching bridge.
The boat and its carriage are run onto
the bridge and by means of large
hydraulic jacks, tpe whole is lowered
into the water. The carriage with its
trucks is lowered away from the boar,
thus allowing it to float free. After
launching. the hull Is floated down to
the Quitting shop, where the boiler.
engines and other equipment is added.
More than 5000 men are at work now.
The vista of ships on the platforms.
with the three nearly completed hulls
far away at the lower doors. and the
three lines tapering down until at the
upper end of the line only the keel
and skeleton ribs represent the ships.

the whole thing. One can actually see

No additional information had reached
the navy yesterday as to whether the
depth charge attack made Wednes-
day on a submarine near Cape May.

Daniels said he assumed that the
commandant of the naval district was
making every effort by dragging to

twelve hours toward Roye. fore

BOLD AMBULANCE DRIVERS.
in France Win Praise for
High Bravery.

Paris, Aug. 16.-AAother testimonial
of the bravery Of American army
ambulance drivers, large number of
whom are serving with the French
army. is contained in the casualty list
of the most recent fighting between
the Aisne and the Marne. The list
shows that three drivers were killed,
one died Of wounds and eighteen were
injured, while SIX are missing and be-
ieyed to have been captured.
Although rated as non-combatants.
they have gone into the thick of the
fray and performed their duties In
true soldierly manner.
From every quarter praise for the
men in the. ambulance Service is
heard. The French have proclaimed
that the feariessness and contempt
for. danger constantly exhibited by the
American drivers have. in more than
one instance. proved a strengthening
of the morale Of their own troops. \
