ERNIE MARKS IN FIELD FOR.M AIR PUMPED IN SUBMARINE FOR 5 HOURS No Indication of Life is Dis- covered in Torpedo Room DIVERS ARE ACTIVE Expert Says Safety Device Would Have Prevented Accident (By Associated Press) Provincetown, Mass, Dec, 22.--No indications of life could be discover: ed in the torpedo room of the sun: ken submarine S-4 at three o'clock this morning, after air had been pumped into the compartment for five hours, - At that hour, diving op- erations were suspended by salvage until seven o'clock, ' ix divers went down to the sun ken vessel after three others had searched for the wreck, which lost its marking buoy in gales of Monday and Tuesday. The last diver to go down was C, Scott, who submerged at 2.10 and was down for fifty minu. tes, At fifteen minute intervals throughout the night the oscillator of the minesweeper Falcon, the flag: ship of the salvage fleet, sent sig- nals he $-4 but not a sound came from = ™ torpedo room in which six men hau been imprisoned since Sat wurday afternoon, Diving operations at the sunken submarine S-4 were resumed at 8.15 this morning, divers being instructed to survey the position of the wreck preparatory to an attempt to raise it to the surface, No messages had been heard from the torpedo room at that hour, When work was resumed today after a five hour suspension, the air compressor of thie Falcon had been forcing air into the torpedo room for more than ten hours, ; 1 Had the destroyer Paulding which last Saturday sent to the bottom the submarine S-4 with a loss of 40 lives, been equipped with modern safe guarding devices to detect the pre sence of underseas boats, the acci- dent probably wouldn't have occur red, in the opinion of Prof, Reginald A. Fessenden, - . ; Prof, Fessenden is an internation ally known inventor whose device, the oscillator, was the means by which the S-8 was enabled to keep in touch with the S-4 as long as the six suryirors in the torpedo compart- ment of the sunken craft remained conscious, : z "It was more than avoidable, it was criminal," he declared in discus- sing the disaster. "The United Sta- tes navy has failed to take advantage of modern inventions," he asserted. The Fessenden oscillator has been called the "ears of a ship." It was considered the salvation of many ships during the Great War and in the later days of the conflict, robbing submarines of much of their terror. Boston, De", 22--A message re- ceived by the navy yard from Provincetown today stated that air pumped from the wrecked = 4 was markedly less foul and that no signals nor response to bammer taps of divers had been heard. The e follows: "Alternate blowing and vented air is now markedly less foul. »#Second air line was attached and put into use rtly after mrid- might.

"Before satisfactory trade can be established, one of two things--or both--must happen; freight rates must be cheaper, or the farmer must be willing to ship smaller and less finished cattle," the Minister of Ag- riculture concluded, : JUNIOR OH.A.
