OIL AFIRE ON WATER;
NO "SHIP EXPLOSION

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. Aug. l.
Fears that a vessel had been SUNK
by a mysterious explosion with all
hands on board off Avalon last week
were dispelled today by the explana-
ton OF Capt. George Painter, OF the
hshing schooner Macintosh.
According to Painter, the explosion
was caused by setting nre to about
I 900 tons OF oil that had been float
ing on the water of Avalon. The oil
had drifted from the tanker Cam
brille, which grounded OFF the Brigan-
tine shoals. and had greatly inter
fered with fishing. The engineer Of
the Macintosh threw bundle Of
blazing waste into the oily waters,
which resulted in series OF fres
and explosions, reported to the coast
guard stations.

seas, the medal bears the names OF
the conflicts in which they partici-
pated.
The medal was completed in Phila-
delphia on June 81. Men who have
rot already filed application. are
urged by the War Department to go
t. the nearest recruiting station or
army post and 90 so. The War De-
rGrtmcnt points out that II Is neces-
sary for all ex-service men to show
their discharge to the recruiting offi-
Ger in charge. Medals will be mailed
out.
Owing to the several recruiting
stations and army posts scattered
ever the city, it is impossible TO de
termine just how many Of the 10 900
Washingtonians have received their
Victory medal, but the War Depart
nent believes that a small percentage
CT that number have filed application.
