Street improvements.

A concrete crossing and culvert

this is perhaps the best improvement
we have had in Milton of late. as the
deep depression in the gutter made
the crossing a most uncomfortable
one. The culvert is intended to re-

on Broad street is for sale.

SUBMARINE IS
RAISED Il feet.
Salvage Crew Halts Work to
Strengthen Lifting Tackle.

Honolulu, T. H., April 2O.-The
United States submarine F-4, sub
merged on the ocean floor outside
the harbor since March rs, was rais-
ed twelve feet early yesterday and
towed inshore until it rested on the
upward inclining bottom.
The salvage crew worked all night
accomplishing this and postponed
further work until the lifting tackle
was strengthened.
The satisfactory work done thus
far in towing the submarine, it is
believed, will make unnecessary the
pontoon method of raising the craft.
Diver Loughman, who became en-
tangled in the lifting cables Satur-
day and was rescued by Chief Gum
ner's mate Chilly at depth of 220
feet after four hours work, is recov-
ering slowly from the effects of his
experience.

AIRMEN ARE BUSY IN EGYPT

London, April 19.-The British
as an effect to their success in de-
stroying a Turkish torpedo boat
which attacked the transport Mani
tou off Chios Saturday, lost the sub
marine ELS, which, while carrying
out difficult reconnaissance in the
Dardanelles mine field, ran aground
on Kephez point, the crew being
made prisoners.
According to the Turkish report,
seven Of the crew are missing.
In Egypt British airmen have been
dropping bombs on the Turkish en-
campment near the border, while a
French cruiser, the fire of which was
directed by a seaplane, has been
throwing shells on the Turks near
Ell Airish, where the army for the
invasion of Egypt has its quarters.
These operations were undertaken
presumably to harass the Turks, as
the Turks have not shown any in
tention Of attacking the British
since their last repulse along the
canal.
In the Carpathians there has been
fighting, but no battle to be COM
pared with those which the arrival
of spring brought to close.
The Austrians officially report
that they have repulsed the Russian
attacks to the southeast of Luphow
pass, int1icting heavy losses on their
adversaries, but elsewhere compare
tive calm prevails.
The French have again been act
i've in the Vosges, capturing an i'm
portant height near Metzeral. The
British, too have attacked the Ger
mans in the neighborhood of Ypres,
where fighting was still in progress
when the last report was dispatched.
1t is again stated that the German
efforts to bring about an accord be-
tween Austria and Italy have failed,
a report, which if confirmed, is like
1y to magnify in the eyes of the Ital-
ians the frontier incident which oc-
Cured Saturday.
According to the latest reports
the Austrians who were passing ov-
er Italian territory actually fired up
on the Italian troops who repulsed
them, and in return penetrated into
Austrian territory.

Pottawattamie Bridge Disaster Will

Council Bluffs, Ia, April 20.-A
big damage suit or suits against this
county is certain to result from the
accident Saturday in which Mrs.
Hardy Ferguson of Avoca was killed
and Elmer Koetjie was badly hurt
by driving into the Nishnatbotna
river where a bridge had been wash
ed out. A coroner's jury which in
vestigated the death of Mrs. Fergu-
son was unusually severe in their
condemnation of the county for its
negligence. 1t was shown by wit
nesses at the inquest that the bridge
had been washed out several weeks
ago. 1t is upon what is known as
the Cuppy road, one of the most i'm
portant highways of the county, and
the jury in it's verdict said that no
warning lights had been displayed
at either end of the bridge, the
main span of which had been taken
out leaving the approaches undam-
aged.

BRITISH LOSE a
FROM TRANSPORT
Official Statement Denies 100 Were
Drowned When Boat Capsized.

London, April 19.-An official
statement from the British admiral
ty issued last night gives the sub
stance of a further report concern
ing the loss of life aboard the trans
port Manitou, which was attacked
by a Turkish torpedo boat in the
Aegean sea.
The report shows that twenty-four
men were drowned instead Of 100,
as first reported and that twenty
seven others are missing. The
transport itself was not damaged.
The loss of life was due to the
capsizing of one boat in the water
and another while being lowered,
owing to the breaking Of davit.

"Near Ingelmunster Lieutenant

"The French attacks against our
position at Combres and in the Vos-
ges resulted in failure.
ION the eastern front the situa-
ton remains unchanged.
"French and British reports con-
corning victories on, the western
front are all inventions, as it is suf-
ficiently proved by the regular re-
ports from German headquarters"
Lieutenant Garros has flown in
many competitions in the United
States.
Since the beginning Of the war he
has been among the most daring OF
The French airmen. His latest ex-
ploit was at Dunkirk three days ago
