MAYO UNDER FIRE ON
BRITISH DESTROYER
How "Mr. Wing" Witnessed
Bombordment of Ostend.

They are telling stories at the Army

tale of how MIR. Wing" of the United
States, aboard the famous British de-
stroyer Broke, came under the fire of
the German land batteries at ostend,
was released over the coffee and cigars

Mr.. Wing was the sobriquet as
sumed by Admiral Henry T Mayo when
as commander of the American battle
feet he went abroad in 1917 wearing
the garb of y civilian. The journey was
q secret except to the highest authorities
in Washington.
MIR. Wing" and his staff all in multi.

they experienced an air raid, and then
to punkirk. where they were Joined by
the British Admirals Jelllcoe Bacon and
Oliver. At this time the British navy
was operating against the land batteries
at Ostend. Part Of the attack was di-
rected from the monitor Terror. which
lay fourteen miles from the German bat
teries. Admiral Mayo boarded the de-
stroyer Broke. which had the glorious
record OF having fought six submarines
single handed and of having sunk three
OF them before shot temporarily dis
abled her engines. The Broke proceeded
to where the Ierror was on nghung

The Admiral crossed the Channel

ONE JUMPS INTO BAY

Up to last night the cause of an ex-
ploslon yesterday in the case and can"
house of the Standard Oil Company at
Bayonne had not been ascertained.
Neither had 1t yet been possible to de-
termine whether or not further victims
of the fire were in the ruins. Prelim-
mary checks of the payrolls inclined Of
flcials at the plant to the belief that all
those in the building at the time had es-
capped.
The case and can house Is located on
Q pier extending into Newark Bay, and
is used for filling cases and cans for ex-
port. Gasolene IL led to the filing
spigots from tanks some distance In
shore. II Is presumed that a spark COM
ing from a clash of the metal containers
set fire to the gasolene stream from one
Of the three spigots In the house There
was an immediate flare and explosion,
followed by two others as the fire was
communicated almost instantaneously
through the gas soaked room to the
other spigots
Employees came tumblng from blaz-
ing doors and windows with their clothes
on fire. Thirty were severely burned
One man jumped off the pier into the
to the hospital. The excitement and
| noise of the explosion caused a near
panic among several hundred women
employees In other parts of the plant
and they all rushed shouting into the
open.
The excitement spread to the nearby
tenement districts where most of the
| employees live. and the Bayonne fire APP
3aratus had to force its way through a
'rantic crowd of employees rushing
away from the plant and of anxious
relatives trying 70 get to it. Quick work

now with the assurance that legal
basis has been established whereby they
may manufacture without interference.
MANY brewers have continued 10

tInued II have done so and I know OF
many others who have In the United

that Government officials may not now

whether to go on again with the manu-
facture OF beer. 1t Is possible. they be
