SUBMARINE STATION WIPED OUT
Enemy lncendiaries Are Suspected
At Cape May Fire.

Cape May, n. j., July 4.-Sewells s
Point section base, the headquarters
for the Fourth Naval District subma.
rine patrol fleet, which came into
prominence recently when the u.
boats were raidng the Atlantic Coast,
was completely destroyed by fire to-
day under suspicious circumstances
The loss, estimated at upward of
S250,000. includes the most complete
equipment of naval stores on the New
Jersey Coast. Two enlisted men were
overcome by smoke and many acts of
bavery In saving powder and gasoline
for the scout patrol boats were re-
corded
Firemen first on the scene said that
they found pieces of oi.soaked rope,
partly consumed, near the burned
buildings, and spectators remarked on
the fact that the fire apparently began
in different parts of the station al
the same time. third factor that
might have aided enemies was the alb
sence of nearly all the sailors, who
were parading in Fourth OF July
pageant The station was almost de
serted, II was said.

J.. s. TRANSPORT
GOWN C ON Is
U-B0AT VICTIM
Sunk While on Return Trip to
America.
NO TROOPS ON VESSEL
All Officers and Crew Saved Except
Six Probably Killed BY Torpedo's
Explosion.

Washington, July 5.-Delayed an
nouncement was made by Secretary
Daniels tonight OF the loss of the
army transport Covington, formerly
the Hamburg-American liner Cincin-
natl, which was sunk the night of July
by a German submarine when en-
route from French port to the Unit
ed States without passengers or
troops
Every effort was made TO save the
Covington but the engine and fire
rooms filled with water rapidly and
the vessel had to be abandoned to her
fate. Those on board included only
the officers and crew OF the vessel.
How many were on board is not dis
closed, but the size of the crew was
undoubtedly considerable, as the Gov
ington was a vessel sos feet long and
OF 1898 gross tonnage. and when in
the German merchant service carried
a crew Of $40 men.
All the officers and crew, except
six, were saved and taken to a French
port. The announcement tonight Civ
es the names of the six members OF
the crew missing, and, as three OF
them were firemen, it is highly prob
able that they were killed when the
torpedo struck Just forward of the en-
gine room bulkhead.

Proposal Of 5rattIehoro Board Of
Trade Deemed lnexpedient.

Brattlehoro, July 5-An offer was
made by the board OF trade today to
mobilize a contingent of 100 volun-
teer workers to help in the hay fields
OF Windham county Sundays. This
was done with view to meeting the
call for farm help issued by the Wind
ham county farm bureau.
County Agent Arthur W. Sweeton
expressed his appreciation of the
spirit that prompted the offer but
said that the help situation was not
so bad at the present time that the
farmers in general found it necessary
to do their haying on Sunday.
A good number of men whose bust
ness requires their time six days q
week have expressed willingness tC
do what they can towards helping on
the farms any Sunday through the

THE decision banishing the individ-

Individual contracts have been sub

be established by which the workers
could deal collectively with the com.

such OF the contracts as are now In
existence be eliminated and that the
