FIGHTING FIRE ON
AMMUNITION SHIP
CAPTAIN AND CREW PUT IN
EIGHT DAYS OF HORROR IN
BATTLE WITH FLAMES

| HONOLULU, T. H-For eight days
and nights Captain Eugene Mccarthy
and the crew Of the big United States
army transport fought and finally
conquered fire in the ships cargo
of munitions, while small arm am
munition, shrapned, grenades and
bombs burst in all directions, it was
learned here recently on the trans
ports return fro mManila.
Smoke was seen first issuing from
one of the forward matches at ten
o'clock at night during the ships last
voyage to the Philippines. The officer
of the watch sounded general fire
alarm and water was turned into the
hold, where 1000 tons of ammunition
of all sizes were stored.
Explosions of munitions in one
hatch were taking place every little
while," said Captain Mccarthy. "The
cargo there included shrapnel shells,
hand grenades, decorating fuses,
bombs and small arm ammunition. My
men carried case after case of am
munitions likely to explode at any
moment from the hold and threw
them overheard. The boxes were too
hot to handle with bare hands, SO
the men wore gloves. Lieutenant
Bowman, transport quartermaster,
was overcome by powder fumes and
was confined to his room for several
days.
"On several occasions | had to
maneuver the Marcia before the wind
to keep the fire from spreading. On
the eighth night it got SO bad we had
to leave the hold, batten down the
matches and turn on the smothering
pipes. We flooded the hold with
water and two nights later the blaze
was extinguished."
Captain Mccarthy said the explos-
ives were loaded at Hoboken in
March and he declared it as his be-
lief that spontaneous combustion
started the fire.

AMERICAN CREED
FOUNDED ON BIBLE
NEWSPAPER MAN COMPLIES
CREED OF 500 WORDS TAKEN
FROM SCRIPTURES

VICKSBURG, Miss.-A newspaper
man, Charles W. Miller, city editor
of the Herald here, has compiled can
American Creed" consisting of pass
ages from the Old and New Testa-
ments. The selections transposed
and arranged in such manner as to
preserve the continuity of the Greed
unbroken to the end, are said by Mr.
Miller to contain the Wholesome
truths handed down from the proph-
cts, the Saviour and the apostles"
There are seven quotations from
the Old Testament and 21 from the
New Testament making a total of
more than 300 words in the Greed. 1t
begins with the words of Timothy,
Goodness with contentment is great
gain. For we brough nothing into this
world, and it is certain we can carry
nothing out" The second paragraph
is introduced by passage from Nal
achi, "Have we not all one Father?
Hath not one God created us? Why
do we deal treacherously every man
against his brother by profaning the
covenant of our Father?" The
Creed closes with these words from
Timothy, "Now unto the King Etern-
al, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise
God, be honor and glory for ever and
ever"
w. F. Bond, state superintendent of
education in Mississippi, writing to
the compiler, said: "This is a splendid
Greed, and we should like very much
to have a copy in the hands of every
school child in the state"
Mr.. Miller, who has been a news
paper men more than 80 years. said:
"In this age of Goddess selfishness,
the tendency of the times is running
steadily and rapidly into a state of
license, regardless of a
high standard of living. Something
is needed to assist, in turning the at
tention of old and young to their
duty to God and their neighbors. The
Holy Bible will give the correct an
swer to ever conceivable question
that can be framed by man. 1t is the
rule and guide for humanity"
