French physicians see In tie nerv-

determining the sex of the children

agree that the relaxation of mems

30 long as the war continued ant

Our moneys value is unimpaired in

Wilmington, Del. Aug. z4.-Two men were killed and two injured when huge mound of shells exploded near the Della ware ordnance reserve depot at Perkin- town, N, J., two miles above Penns Grove, this afternoon
 The dead are Daniel Wolf and William McGin of Penns Grove. The injured, Thomas Sharp. Bridgeport. N. J., and Charles Howser, Deep Water Village N. J., were taken to hospital. where it was said tonight they will recover.
 The explosion started when Wolf, re- moving a detonator from shell, set it off. In few minutes salvo of shrap- mel was bombarding the surrounding country. Twelve workmen, cut off from the highway took refuge beneath a gov ernment pier on the river and were res cued by launch
 The Delaware side of the river, three miles away, was showered with lead

REPORT OF WRECK AS
 RECEIVED IN WASHINGTON

Washington, Aug. 24-Twenty one Americans were on board the dirigible ZR-2 when she was wrecked today during her final trial flight, report to the navy department from London said. The report, filed at 7:30 o'clock said at that. time there appeared to be only six survivors from the en- tire complement.
 The report follows:
 The ZR-2 was wrecked with heavy loss this afternoon over the Yorkshire coast. Following two terrible explo- sions the airship buckled and fell in flames into the Humber River. There 21 Americans on board. The ZR-2 had begun her final trial flight On Tuesday morning and was believed prepared to land when disaster tock place. The explosion took place as the balloon was passing over Hull and so terrible was the concussion that many pedestrians in the streets were swept from their feet. The shock from the detonation was felt fifty miles distant. At seven thirty tonight it was reported that there were only six survivors from the ZR 2.
 "The airship was flying at great height when the disaster overlook her. She was seen to emerge from the clouds and as the explosion oc- cured broke in two parts, one part rose in the air and fell in the Hum Der. The descent of the falling half was unaccountably slow considering the weight of the material.

ing one section during the progress of construction. It is presumed here that a thorough survey of the entire ship was made at the time of these repairs to de- termine whether other sections had been strained.
 Although the ZR-2 had not been ac- cepted formally, under the contract with the British air ministry, several pay ments had been made by the United States toward the cost of construction. It was estimated at the navy department that these payments might total S1,500,- 900, or three fourths of the total cost. Under law and by naval custom no material or vessel ever is considered to be within the jurisdiction of the depart ment until it has been finally passed by inspectors, or completed prescribed tests and formally turned over. Under this rule, title to the ZR-2 would be con- sidered to have been wholly with the British owners today. naval officials said.
 A clause in the purchase contract pro- vided that, in the event of loss of the ship during her flight to the United States. each party to the contract would assume half the cost of construction

LIEUT.. LITTLE A NATIVE
 OF NEWBURYPoRT, MASS.

Newburyport Mass, Aug. 24-Lieut. Charles G. Little, who was aboard the ZR-2 when it was wrecked over Hull, England, was native of this city. He enlisted in the naval aviation forces in June. 1917 and after training at Akron, O., went to France in November of the same year He was awarded the navy cross for his services on patrol duty in French waters. In the spring of 1918 he was ordered back to the United States and stationed at Cape May, N. J. He is 27 years old.
 Lieutenant Little was one of the navy's most expert officers in dirigibie aeronautics, When the blimp C-5 made her ill-fated flight to Newfoundland in May. 1919, preparatory to an attempt to cross the Atlantic, it was Little who was sent ahead to establish the station at Quidividi, outside St. Johns. for her landing and her departure overseas.
 In the destruction of the C-5, which was swept out to sea by a sudden storm while moored, Little acted heroically While the big gas bag snapped at her moorings, pitching and tossing Little climbed up her side in an attempt to reach the rip cord by which the bag might be defated and the balloon saved. The C-5 meantime had broken all bonds and was rising The cord broke in Lit ties hand. His only chance to save the ship thus defeated he jumped 90 feet to the ground broken ankle resulted.
 Lieutenant Commander Emery W. Coil, fellow member of the ZR-2's Amreican naval crew, was the flying commander of the C-5 on her Newfound- land voyage.
