 Two men, one said to be a Swedish subject are under arrest.
 Gharred bodies of two men, one be- lieved to be contractor of New York who was supposed to be here to launch another ship, and that of an old man, an employe, have been found. The fire which started shortly after clock this morning, was prevented from sweeping the yards of the International Shipbuild- ing company only by reason of a light wind and the favorable direction in which it was blowing. Had not this been the case the fire would have trapped hun dreds of families in the shipyard.

ful manipulation Of daring "Sammies.
where the films were taken by special
permission OF the government.
Its remarkable agility, based on its
ability 10 90 up and down hill at SEEM
insly impossible angles, and to turn
sharply within its own length, is graph
icauy brought out.
The tractor pictures constitute an
important feature Of Mr.. Howe'S new

China. taking audiences into the secret
and sacred corners OF the Celestial En-
pirc. For The first time the Forbidden
City is revealed on the screen. Alaska
