Transport Burns in N. Y.
Harbor; Cause Not Known
(Bv Associated Press)

&4SSOSA~eSSA
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-An investiga-
ton was under way today to deter
mine the cause of the fire which last
night badly damaged the United
States transport De Kalb. anchored
in the Hudson river off 332nd street.
Details of the blaze and the extent of
the damage were withheld by naval
officers.
The De Kalb, formerly the famous
German raider, Prince Eitel Frederick
caught fire from a cause not made
public, shortly before midnight The
blaze started on the port side amid
ships. and spread rapidly. The skel-
eton crew of IS men was unable to
cope with the flames and six calls for
help were sent for city fire boats.
The crew finally was forced to take
to small boats. After several hours
hard work the blaze was controlled.
For q time 1t was feared the blaze
might spread to the transport Graf
Waldersee, formerly Hamburg-Amer-
lean liner, and the Mongolian, which
were anchored nearby.
The De Kalb was being converted
into an oil burner.
