RESUSCITATING DEVICES
 SENT TO PROVINCET0WN
Only Three of Type in Country Are
 Ready For Emergency

Boston, Dec. 22 F-Three sets of a German rcsuscitating device. said to be the only ones in this country. were sento Provincetown today aboard the naval tug Penacook for 1se In event that any members or the crew of the S-4 are brought out alive.
 Known az the Inhabad resuscita- for. the apparatus, according to in formation available at the Boston navy yard, supplies oxygen to the lungs by a normal breathing process Naval officers said slaims have been advanced that the device Is superior to the pulmotor in that 1t does not di.tend the lungs nor rupture tiny blood vessels.
 The affair consists of a wide board 10 which the body is strapped with the head hanging down and the arms extended. As the arms are worked up and down at the rate of 2o tlnles a minute oxygen flows into the lungs at the same rate. At the same time adrenalin Is pumped into the veins to stimulate the heart.
 The resuscitators were made avail able by New York engineering company and were brought to the navy yard by train last night. Lieu tenant George Calnan went tt proyincetown with them today ano he will have charge of their opera t,on in event that they are calico into play.
 Navy officials were informed 'ha' claims made for the resuscitator m cluded that it had revived hurs' In Germany 4s hours after she Wal believed to have died.

WIFE 0F S.4 MAN
 ASKS QUESTIONS
Wants to KnoV Why Navy Dept.
 Took No Precautions

Baltimore, Md. Dec 21 (UP)- Mrs. Roy K. Jones. widow of Lieut. Roy K. Jones, commander of the submarine S-4, in an interview to- day raised four questions which she said were troubling her mind.'
 "When submarines operate all the time around Provincetown and Cape Cod. why. in Heavens name. don't they have pontoons at Provinceto"n and Portsmouth for rescue work ~ she asked.
 "Why do submarines have to op- crate of the New England coast where the weather conditions are so terrible all the time, winter and summer, that three Is practically no help for the men if anything hap pens?
 "I have been told that the s-4 was operatine in restricted waters and that Admiral Hughes was reported as saving 1t was an unavoidable ac- cident, If that is true. why was a destroyer making 8 knots an honf In restricted waters. when destroy or is SO built that 1t will cut 3. sub- marine in half?
 "Someone must know.
 'I am not criticising the navy. want to make that clear. Mrs 1ones said. q am loyal to the navy like my husband. don't kno" who can answer my questions but would like to know why
 Mrs. Jones who lives at Hale thorpe, near here. said that she thought rescue parties would bf working Sunday. She said she tele' phoned the navy department or Monday and was informed that the pontoons wouldn't reach the sub marine until noon of that day.
 Mrs. Jones said that the officers disliked to maneuver off the New England coast in the winter because it was SO cold when the submarine dtved and when they came up the! were covered with ice.

was repeated at frequent intervals. l At 1O:30 the divers returned to the surface and at l1:45 Thomas Eadie. the man who first discovered that there was life in the submarine. was sent down. He fastened another hose thus doubling the intake.
 A survey of the bow of the sub- marine was started at once to de- termine the difficulty of raising it, while. in the meantime. the Falcon continued to pump air below.
 1 Bow Up a Bit
 l Diver Thomas Eadie, who preced- ed Scott down to the submarine, re- ported that the bow of the vessel. which had dived deep into soft mud bottom when the S-4 was rammed and sunk on Saturday by the coast guard destroyer Paulding. had come up somewhat since. He said that IS feet of the submarines bow was clear. and that a line could be pass ed under it without much trouble.
 A peculiar odor resembling that of rancid oil. continued to be noticed in the air vented from the torpedo room. The theory was suggested that the imprisoned men had let out the compressed air in the tor pedoes when the air supply in the chamber began 10 fail. and that oil had been released at the same time. Commander Edward Ellsberg, in charge of diving operations, let it be known after a conference with Rear Admiral Frank H. Brumhy. directing the salvage work, and with other officers that the next activity of the salvage corps would be to see whether chains could not be passed under the bow, If the result of this survey is favorable tho large pon- toons brought here from Brooklyn

the same orders on the port side of the vessel. Commander Ellsberg who made several trips down to the submarine S-51 when he had charge of salvaging that vessel off Block Island two years ago. planned to put on a divers suit later in the day and make a personal inspection of the S-i.
 Wreckage Is Noted. Commander Ellsberg said this morning that divers had reported much wreckage from the Paulding on the forward deck of the sub- marine. This includes several frames two ribs, plating and part of the keel. The bottom of the Paulding's hull cut a hole in the deck of the subma rire from a point just aft the forward gun to a point back of the coming tower.
 The commander said that the mud where the s-4 lies was no more seri ous handicap than he had encounter. ed in many other salvaging opera, tions with which he has been con, nected.
 The Falcon IS keeping about 1( pounds of pressure through the all line leading to the torpedo room O the s.. The plan Is to blow ail down to the submarine for half ar hour and then allow 1t to vent fol half an hour.
 Air Lines Attached.
 The air lines are attached to tn sc tube, or listening device, whici serves the purpose of ears for al undersea boat. the tube Is t-shapec contrivance of brass projecting iron the deck, and made of brass pip with rubber fixtures at either sid of the T which performs the servic

of sound magaifiers. These rubber pieces were removed by the divers and the air lines were attached to the brass tube.
 Hose Finally Attached.
 At 10 o'clock last night, hours after navy experts had believed the men could survive. divers made fast hose to the listening tube of the torpedo room and the long process of eXpelling the foul air was started.
 There was no sound from the steel shell and had not been for more than 36 hours but navy officers hop ed almost against hope that though unconscious, the men still breathed.
 The air line connection was made after a day of hearbreaking delay occasioned by the Toss" of the sub- marine by the fleet,
 Good Days to Work. It was the best day for work since the S-4 was sent hurting down through 105 feet of water by the de- stroyer Handling last Saturday. The | sea was smooth, the wind Whlch Tor two days had blown at gale force, had died away and the temperature at the bottom had risen from 34 de- grees above zero to 5l. permitting divers to work in comparative com fort.
 1 But when the fleet prepared tc l take advantage of the favorable weather consternation arose when il was discovered that a line leading from the S-4 to a marking buoy had become detached and the vessel wa: lost.

 It was not until after dark that the shattered hulk was located by grappllng and Diver D. NJ. Bird shouted through his telephone:

 At once work was redoubled snd by 9:3o, half an hour before the air line was connected. seven men had taken turns below the water.
 Officers estimated that should life still exist in the torpedo room it would take at least four hours 10 revive the men sufficiently to allow them to respond to signals.

for two days by gales, the oscillator of the mine sweeper Falcon. flagship of the salvage fleet, has sent signals at Is minute intervals to the S-4. There has been no sound from the sunken ship.
 While refusing to speak officially several officers of the salvage fleet said that when 1t was finally deter mined that no life existed on the S-4. salvage work would be aban- doned for the time. The wind veer- ed to the northwest today, threaten. ing heavy weather. and 1t was be- lieved conditions would be unsuitable for salvage work for some time.

CELEBRATION HALTED
Provincetown Decides to Postpone Christmas Exercises as Tribute to S-4 Martyrs.

Provincetown. Mass, Dec 22 (UP)-A huge Christmas tree, sprawled on the lawn in front of the city hall here, today served as mute evidence of Provincetown's grief over the latest naval calamity.
 A few days before the S-4 was plunged to the bottom. the city fathers had planned to erect the tree as a Christmas community cen ter. But with the advent of the tragedy. they decided. out of defer ence 10 S-4's crew, to postpone the project
 Fearing disappointment, however, they have decided 70 place the tree in poeition but adorn 1t modestly.
 On Christmas Day. the people of Provincetown. mainly fishermen. will hold special services for the sailor dead on the wharf. Flowers will be sprinkled on the waters of the bay and Christmas carols will be sung.

Air is Less Foul


 received at the navy yard from Provincetown today stated that air pumped from the wrecked S-4 was markedly less foul and that no sig nals nor response to hammer taps of the divers had been heard.
 The message follows:
 Alternate blowing and venting of air lines to torpedo compartment has been continuing and vented air is now markedly less foul
 Second air line was attached and put into use shortly after midnight Divers have examined bows of sub marine on both sides and find upper torpedo tube shutters closed. Lower torpedo tube shutters closed but plaster Of mud is over them. "Weather continues good and Fall con has come lea as wind has shifted to northward. Examination of the hull and other parts of the S-4 now in progress
 Listening has been continued but no signals heard and no response to divers hammer taps"
 Work Is Resumed.
 Diving operations at the sunken submarine were resumed at S:15 this morning, the divers being instructed to survey the position of the wreck preparatory to an attempt to raise it to the surface.
 No sounds had been heard from the torpedo room of the S-4. in which six men have been imprisoned since Saturday. at that hour. The oscillator of the mine sweeper Fall son, flagship of the salvage fleet, sent messages to the S-4 at Is min ute intervals all night
 113 Hours in Hull.
 When work was resumed today after a. five hour suspension, the air compressor of the Falcon had been forcing air into the torpedo room 0! the S-4 for more than 10 hours. Simon Lake. an expert in submarine construction, sent a radio message to the Falcon from his homo a; Bridgeport, Conn. during the nigh, stating that there should have been enough air in the torpedo room ol the S-4 to last one man 700 hours He computed that there should have been sufficient to keep six men alive 11s2 hours. The men might be unconscious for many hours before they die. the message said, At eigh' o'clock this morning they had beer approximately 113 hours in theil steel prison.
 Wickwire Down First.
 The first diver to descend thi' morning was William Wickwire who was also ths first to be loweret yesterday. He was instructed b, Commander Edward Ellsberg, Il charge of diving operations. to lan' on the bow of the s. and disen tangle an air line and a descendin. line which had become fouled.

Oily Smelling Air

Oily Smelling Air
 At 10 o'clock this morning the air coming from the torpedo room of the S-4 had become much purer but 1t still had g. peculiar oily smell. Four divers worked on the subma- rine during the forenoon.
 William Wickwire. the first to be lowered, was down from S:l5 to s:45. He inspected the bow of the s-4 and reported that it was fairly clear of mud.
 James Ingram. the next to go down. was brought to the surface in 35 minutes because of a leak de- veloped in his diving suit,
 Diver Thomas Eadie went down next on his fourth trip since the op- erations began. He took the grapnel line left when sailors found the S-4 yesterday after it's marking buoy had been torn loose in a storm. from the coming tower to the stern and fastened 1t there. He reported by telephone that the S-4 amidships was half submerged in mud. The stern also appeared to be imbedded. Air Lines Adjusted While Eadie was down on the starboard side of the Falcons. Joseph Eiben was lowered on the port side. He adjusted the air lines which had become entangled and proceeded with the survey of the hull.
 Commander Edward Ellsberg. in charge of diving operations, said he would go down as soon as Eadie emerged to make personal inspec- tion of the wreck.
 During the day Joseph J. McGin' lev, or Norristown. Pa, whose son was executive officer of the S.4 went aboard the Falcon and con ferred with Admiral Brumby for hall an hour. When he left the ship he said he was satisfied that the nav, had done all in it's power to rescue the men imprisoned tn the sub marine.
 Boston, Dec, 22 LP-Rear Admira Philip Andrews, commandant or the first naval district, declared today that in his opinion the work of rais ing the sunken submarine S4 should go right ahead" so long as condl tions permit continuance Of oper ations. whether there is still lift aboard the boat or not
 In accordance with tho views ex pressed by Admiral Hughes. com mander in chief of the United State fleet on Sunday. Admiral Andrew notified Rear Admiral Frank Ii Brumby. in command of the salvag fleet at Provincetown. that the worl was ''to be expedited.
 These instructions are still in ef feet and the district commander be lieyes will be adhered to unless ex tremely unfavorable weather condi tions lead to a decision on the par of the navy department that tn work should be discontinued.
 Rear Admiral Andrews expresses the opinion that conditions Proyincetown are much more favor able for salvage operations tha those which existed at the scene o the S-5l disaster off Block Island l 1925 when the arrival of winte forced cessation until spring the ef forts to raise the submarine.

In sad and loving remembrance OF
my dear husband. Arlie c. Steen, who
fell asleep in Jesus, one year ago, April
18th, 1926:
One long, long year has past
My life is lonesome, my home is sad.
My heart is filled with pain.
I feel like I will never know a happy
day in life again.
All is dark within my dwelling,
Lonely is my heart today,
For the one l loved so dearly
Has forever passed away
Affections so long he bore,
Physicians We're in vain,
Till God did hear him moan,
And ease him of his pain.
None know how much ] miss him.
None know the tears l shed,
But in heaven l hope to meet him,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Of grief and sorrow l have had my
share
But the parting with you, dearest hus-
band,
Was the hardest of all to bear.
I grieve for you, dearest husband,
Your memory fresh l keep,
And many are the tears l shed
While others are asleep.
Sadly missed by his devoted Wife
and Children. Mrs. a. c. Steen. II
