LEE BOULEVARD IS
FAST PROGRESSING
IMPROVEMENT OF IMPORTANT
STREET is PERMANENT.

The work of rebuilding Lee street
from the city hall to the city limits, a
mile and quarter away, is progress
ing, and the permanent nature of this
substantial improvement reflects the
wisdom of the street department in
having il done Already Lee street has
been ploughed up-literally turned
over-to point beyond Taylor street,
a distance of three or four ordinary
city blocks. AS the huge cakes of clay
are turned up they are crushed and
rolled smoothly, thus insuring new,
firm and elastic surface when the
work is completed. The convict gang
and the city's own police court gang,
with the usual hired force, follow the
steam plow and push the work of i'm
rrovement, which will extend to the
southern suburbs.

ENGLISH WARSH|PS
RUN, UP UNDER
DARDANELLES FORTS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, March 26-At the Offices
of the British admiralty this afternoon
an official statement regarding oper-
ations against the Turkish forts on
the Dardanelles was given out. This
statement indicates an early resump-
ton of the concentrated attack upon
the defenses of the narrows, but con-
tains no prophesy as the time
necessary to entirely reduce the for
tifications.
The British super-dreadnaught
Queen Elizabeth, which heretofore had
attacked the forts only by indirect
fire from the Gulf of Saros, accompan-
led by the battleship Agamennon and
the battle cruiser Cornwall, entere
the Dardanelles during Wednesday

mounted on these powerful warships,
fleet of mine sweepers cleared the
straits of numerous dangerous OBJ
structions. This information is con-
tanned from the Reuter- News Agency
correspondent on the Island of Tene-
dos, who asserts the Turkish shore
batters fired upon the warships with
out serious effect.
After midnight the battleships and
cruisers withdrew to the maneuvre
grounds of the allied feet, being re-
placed by French warships. The
mine-sweeyers continued their WORK
without interference on the part of
the forts until daylight, when they,
too, withdrew. Several powerful
searchlights used by the Turks were
demolished during the night by secon-
Diary fire from the British hattlesbips
and cruiser.

JAPS WOULD BUY
THE PHILIPPINES
(By Associated Press.l

TOXIC, March 26.-The purchase of
the Philippine Islands from the United
States is suggested in a petition recent
ly presented to Count Okuma, the
prime minister by Shigemaru Sugluma
and number of other Japanese who
have been prominent in politics. Mr..
Sugiyam was formerly secretary to
Prince Katsura.
The petition sets forth that in view
of opinion found in the United States
that the Philippines should be given up
by that country the islands should be
acquired by Japan as the best means of
solving the Pacific question"
The signers point out that disagree
ments between Japan and the United
States arise over the question of immi-
grafton. If Japan acquired the Phil
ippines there would be no need of Jap
anese emigration to California.

RUSSIANS SREPORT
ADVAN CE IN
CARPATH|A
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, March 26.-Desperate
fighting is taking place today in the
Carpathian mountains, and early re-
ports from the scene of the gigantic
encounter indicates the Russians are
forcing back Austrian armies at Dullla
and Uzok passes, two important points
the loss of which would mean an i'm
mediate Russian invasion of Hungary
and gravely endanger the safety OF
BUDAPEST.
Bucharest kilograms this afternoon

tained a great victory though at con-
siderable loss, in the vicinity of Uzok
Pass, while Petrograd advices claim
the Austrians have been forced back
from Lupkow Pass, where a large ar

Both sources Of information credit
the Russian troops with unexampled
bravery, both positions having been
taken at the point of bayonets, after
heavy fighting, in which the Austrians
refused to retreat until hand-to-hand
fighting was inevitable.
Five thousand Austrians were made
prisoners during today's fighting, but
the toll in machine guns and munitions
of war is believed to have been much
heavier The loss in dead and wound
ed cannot be accurately estimated at
noon today.

LONDON, March 26.-Additional in

the attitude of Bulgaria toward Tur-

In the Balkans developments of q
startling nature are frequently re-

likely to occur in Bulgaria. Field

BALES BRINGING
HIGHEST VALUES
SINCE SEPTEMBER
FINEST GRADES NEARING NINE
CENTS NOTCH NOW.

Americus cotton men, in view of the
stability of the market and rapid ad-
vance in values recently, would not
be surprised to see spot cotton of the
best grades sell here at nine cents be-
fore April has grown many days old.
The fully good middling grades are
now quoted at 1-2 to ga cents, and
while there is very little cotton of
such high grade here, it would bring
the price, if we had it.
Two hundred bales were sold here
yesterday afternoon, but most of this
was of rather poor grade, and sold
ior about cents.
The substantial advance in values is
having the effect of bringing to market
the cotton that has been stored on
plantations, either for sale, or for
safer storage here. Mr. E. l.. Bell has
marketed 300 bales this week, while
other planters are bringing in cotton
as well.
1t is not believed that advancing
values at this late stage of the season
will have the effect of increasing the
acreage here this year Farmers have
declared their intention of materially
reducing their cotton acreage, and
they will doubtless do so. Again, the
supply of fertilizer is very limited,
about one-third the average and it is
not expedient in this section to at
t,mpt to cultivate cotton witl'o1 the
use of fertilizer.
The cotton market today is steady,
at about yesterdays quotations on
spots and contracts.

HELPLESS UNDER
35 FATH0MS SEA
'F-4Oe LIES HELPLESS AT BOTTOM
OF HONOLULU HARBOR-EIGH-
TEEN SAILORS PRISONERS BE-
MEATH THE SEA
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 90
Trapped at the bottom of Honolulu
harbor under at least thirty-five faith
oms of water, and probably more, the
United States submarine torpedo boat
"F-40" lies helpless. Eighteen enlisted
men, besides her commander are en-
tombed within their vessel, and little
hope is entertained at 2:3O this after
noon that any of these will be res
cued.
1t is feared in Washington official
circles that the accident will reveal
one of the worst submarine boat dis
asters in the worlds naval history,
and much interest is being evidenced
in the efforts to reach the imprisoned
vessel. Divers have been employed
and are investigating the waters in
the vicinity of where the submarine
dived, but as yet have been unable to
find any trace of the "F-40."
Since the vessel disappeared yester-
day afternoon every effort known to
naval practice has been employed in
the effort to raise the boat, without
avail. The ships marker buoy, which
should come to the top to mark her
resting place has thus far failed to
appear, and this incident adds to the
anxiety entertainey for the safety of
those on board. The surface of the wa
ter this afternoon is covered with a
film of oil, such as usually escapes
from tanks of submerged vessels.
Navy department officials, although
declining to discuss the loss of the
"F-4O" this afternoon, expressed fears
that one of two calamities had befal-
len the vessel. One of the theories
entertained in official circles is that
the "F-40" struck a rock while sub
merged and that the entire crew were
drowned by inrushing waters, while
another is that the vessel was crushed
by the weight of the water after des~
cendiog to an unusual depth.
The worlds diving record for sub
marines is 2S3 feet, and it is prac-
tically certain the "F-40" descended
beyond this depth, as
the entire crew were experienced in
undersea navigation and practically
fearless. 1t is possible the comman-
der of the little vessel determined to
establih new diving record and in
going too deep subjected the vessel to
such enormous pressure that it was
completely crushed.
