PUMP AIR TO U-BOAT CREW

Crew of Thirty Men Trapped in Amer- • ican Submarine. Washington, Sept. 3. —The United States submarine S-5 Is being kept barely at the surface of the Atlantic ocean, 53 miles east of Cape Henlopen, by a precarious hold secured on her stern by the General Goethals, an army transport, while a dozen vessels of the navy are racing from various points to her rescue. With her crew of four officers and twenty-six men, the S-5 had been submerged for 36 hours, but through a hole cut in her stem by the crew of the General Goethals enough air is being pumped to keep the men alive until naval equipment rushed on the fastest vessels available can get there to complete her rescue.
