Dragging On The sunlSen Vessel.


Bizerta. Tunis (By Cable) After
much effort, divers succeeded in plac-
ing a hawser from the Cyclopes un-
der the bow of the sunkon sub
marine boat Lutin and then tried to
get a chain under her stern. The
dragging was done by two torpedo
boats, four tugs and small boats
from the British warships.
1t was established that the crew
of the Lutin consisted of two officers
and Ii men.
The authorities here deny that the
disaster could have originated in the
injuries sustained by the Lutin when
she stranded a fortnight ago, as
on that occasion she grounded at the
entrance of the inner port. on a
solid bottom, and backed off with
out any assistance. Later the hull
of the submarine boat was examined
by divers, who pronounced it to be
uninjured.

MAY PART FROM
HIS AMERICAN Wife
Duke and Duchess Of Marlborough
Disagree.
Mr.. VANDERBILT AS CONCllIATOU.
Father of the Duchess Trying to Pre-
vent Separation-Fo Sometime the
Couple Have Been Living Apart, Ow-
ing, 1t Is Reported, to the Disagree
able Disposition of the Duke.

London (By Cable) - Disagree
ments between the Duke and Duchess
of Marlborough, which have been
prolonged over a period of Is months
DR. more. English society Is convinced.
will result in their separation unless
the earnest efforts now being made
by the father of the Duchess ana oth-
er relatives result in a reconciliation.
w. X. Vanderbilt. the father OF
the Duchess, arrived in London on
TUESDAY and went directly to Blen-
helm, where his daughter is with her
shildren. The Duke is not at Blel-
helm, and all negotiations for q
reconciliation have been conducted
through Mr.. Vanderbilt.
Incompatibility is the only reason
assigned for the strained relations
existing between the Duke and the
Duchess. This has become acute dur
ing the past Is months, and they
nave been apart for increasingly long
periods. The Dukes relations with
his wife's family have not been cordial
Tor sometime, chiefly due, 1t is said.
20 the disappointment to his expecta-
lions caused by the second marriage
Of w. X. Vanderbilt.
DislilSes Americans.
The Duke, according TO all ac-
counts. is not blessed with a very
amiable temper, and affects an in
.cuse dislike for Americans, which
is most trying to the Duchess, who
mas many American friends Of whom
she is fond.
Nothing annoyed the Duke so much
as the frequently printed reports Of
his having received magnificent pres
snts from his father-in-law. He
never neglected an opportunity to
ieride these rumors When Sunder-
iand House was being built it was
published that this was being done
with money furnished by W. X. Van
ierbilt rs a Christmas present to the
Duke and Duchess.
The Duke, angered by the publica-
iion, gave out sharply worded de-
oial. in which he intimated that W
K. Vanderbilt had not given either
himself or the Duchess anything be-
ycnd the marriage settlements.
No Trouble over Money.
Close friends OF the Duke say he
is one OF those me- who could never
be contented or consistently agree
able. and that the question of money
really need trouble them not at all,
If it were not for other sources of
disagreement. Believers in the doc
trine of heredity point out that the
Dukes father and mother both dis
played incompatibility in their mari
tai relations as proof of their theory
The two children--the Marquis Of
Blandford and Lord Iver Spencer
Churchill--are, of course, a power
full deterrent TO the separation Of the
Duke and Duchess. Their friends
sincerely hope that a reconciliation
may he effected, although It is said
that the family Of the Duchess has
foresoen the ultimate result for sew
eral years.
Because Of the fact that the Duke
and Duchess have been so much be-
fore the public since their marriage
the report of their disagreement and
possible separation naturally spread
quickly in London society.

DANGER OF THE SUBMARINE
The French Press Wants Their Use
Prohibited.

Paris (By Cable) The cause OF
the disaster to the submarine boat
Lutin, involving the loss of 16 lives,
is still a mystery. The naval officers
are generally of the opinion that
when Lieutenant Fepoux ordered the
boat to be submerged in the rougn
sea running the helmsman depressed
the rudder too much and the Lutin
pitched to the bottom. overturning
her accumulators and suffocating the
crew with the fumes from the acids
before they had time to release the
safety weights or the telephone buoy.
The water pressure Is 60 pounds
80 the inch at the depth where the
submarine boat lies, which, It Is be-
lieved, would be sufficient to start
her plates. especially If 1t is true, as
announced in a special dispatch from
Bizerta that the Lutin stranded
fortnight ago; that her hull may
have been injured and that she was
not docked after having been hauled
m.
The Ministry OF Marine is coming
in for a lot of criticism, owing to
its failure to properly equip the BIZ
Zerta Naval Station with salving ap-
paratus, as 1t was proposed to do
after the disaster to the submarine
boat Farfadet, which sank last sum-
mer off Bizerta. Some of the news
papers express the opinion that the
repeated accidents to submarine
boats should lead to an international
agreement to prohibit their use,
claiming that it is proved that they
are more dangerous to their own
crews than they are ever likely to
be to an enemy.
The Ministers of the Marine, ac-
companied by Vice Admiral Barnard
and three technical engineers. consti-
tuting a body of inquiry to investi-
gate the disaster has started for BIZ
