HALETH0RPE, Nd, March 3d.
Now that the rammed submarine
Sd has bean raised from the ocean
bed off Plymouth, Mass, and dry
locked at, Boston, the words Of .
woman regarding submarine dis
a%sters, are being listened to atten-
lively.
The woman is Mrs. r. X. Jones,
Of Halethorpe, widow or Lieutenant
Commander Jones, who went down
with the sub.
Eager 10 Save Lives
Understand, I'm loyal to the
navy Mrs. Jones warns. "But il
does seem to me that lives arc
wasted
She has made q concrete proposal
for the utilization Of the 50, and OF
the disaster itself, by the navy, in
the study Of elimination, as far as
possible, Of submarine tragedies in
the future. Mrs. Jones proposes
simply that the craft be gone over
thoroughly for the possible diseov-
cry of defections that may uncover
the weak parts Of the S-boats, and
for the testing Of safety devices and
salvage apparatus, including rescue
suggestions already made BY Com
mander ElIsburg and Simon Lake
designer Of the S-boats.
"Why," she asks, awhen sub
marines operate steadily around
Provincetown, doesn't the navy have
pontoons ready for accidents?
"Why make experimental, stand
ardization and test runs in places
where weather conditions in the win
ter make rescue Of life impossible
Is the naval board Of inquiry admits
was the case off Provincetown?
~And II these were restricted
waters, how could the accident have
been unavoidable, as Admiral Hughes
said? Why would a destroyer be
making Is knots in restricted wat
ers2"
Quotes Husband
II Is Mrs. Jones belief that con-
rress has failed TO make sufficient
appropriations to keep in proper
shape the present navy. She quotes
her husband as having said that the
Sd was not in condition for safe
diving. She believes hat subma-
rines particularly, are not sufficient
" known TO those not actually in
submarine service.
II still think the navy wonder
full Mrs. Jones declares, shut ! do
not think the superior officers under
stand fully the terrible life and ter
rible danger connected with subma-
rines."
The navy department has taken Of
81 cocnizance Of Mrs. Jones' pro-
Dcsals, but refused 70 make public
answers to them.
Mrs. Jones was Miss Evelyn Bond,
daughter Of Richard Hewitt Bond, Of
baltimore. She met Lieutenant
Commander Jones wher he was q
midshipman ut Annapolis.
