A Peace Conference.
MAY SAYEPART0 CREW
OF SUNKEN SUBMARINE
Omitted Press)

Washington, March 27.-That the
missing American submarine, F-4 has
been located in so fathoms of water,
was the message cabled to the navy
department last night by Rear Ad-
miral Moore, from Honolulu.
A message this afternoon from
Honolulu tells that the Cruiser Cali
fOrnia has arrived there and that
they report that the raising of the
F-4 has begun, and that it is be-
lieved that part of the crew may be
saved
The F4 is designed to resist water
pressure at the depth of approximate
ly so fathoms, but it is believed to
be impossible for her to remain ut
such a depth for any length of time
with safety. Records show when F.
l, sister submarine, on her trial
trip for just ten minutes at depth
of 283 feet, her hull groaned and
took water. Naval experts agree
that the tremendous pressure of wa
ter at any depth below so or so feet
offers serious handicap, to say the
least, to any effort to provide a safe
exit from sunken submarine.
So It was discovered to- be Impossible
to tow the submarine into shallow
water, and it was then decided to
fetch a crane from the naval station
to raise the vessel When located Fl
was submerged to a depth of 800 feet.

FRENCH CLAIM IMPORTANT
VICTORY IN HILL REGION
(Unitod ProSs)

Paris, March 27.-An official dis
patch given out by the French war
department this afternoon claims that
after tenacious struggle the French
have recaptured the principal height
at MISUNDERSTANDING, and under
terrible fire rushed the hillside repeat
eddy. Previous engagements had
swept the slope free from the protec-
ton of trees and left no shelter for
the attacking party. However, the
French charged against the ribbon
of flame from Germans guns. It is
admitted that French losses were
heavy but the victory gives them a
dominating position over other hills
in the same region and the Germans
must take these positions or evacuate
the other hills. The Kaiser's SOL
diers have been bombarding Arras at
long range and shells falling in the
city have caused but little fire dam

BATTLE NOT FOR HUNGARY
carpathian Mountains Struggle is
Nothing More Than Preliminary to
That Major Objective.
AUsTR1ANs INVADERS OF GAL1C1A
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, March 27.-The battle
now being fought for the mastery OF
the Carpathian mountains is not it.
self a struggle for Hungary. It is
preliminary to that major objective
Its own purpose is to secure DONNA
ton over the mountain passes lead
ing from Galicia into the Hungarian
plain and thus consolidate necessary
lines of communication.
When the Austrian government an
nounced the fall of Przemysl it was
declared that the general staff had
taken measures in advance to meet
the new conditions created by the
capitulation of the San fortress.
These measures in fact were the re-
suit of the winter campaign which
has been in constant progress amid
the Carpathians. BY means of Ger
man assistance the Austrians have
succeeded during the winter in es-
tablishing themselves on the Galician
side of the Carpathian mountains at
every important point except the
Dukla Pass.
Although the Dukla Pass is admir-
ably situated for highway traffic, no
railroad passes through it. The Rus
SLAMS must have railway communica-
ton if they are to advance any dis
lance into Hungary, and they are
now fighting to seize passes traversed
by railroads.
Since the Russian dominate East
ern Galicia and since the Austrian
strategy is to protect the Hungary,
the present struggle for practical
purposes may be considered as being
waged by the Austrians on the
enemy's territory.
From military standpoint, the
Austrians are now invaders of south
ern Galicia. They must be forced to
retire across the. Carpathians before
the Slavs can be credited with pos
session of the offensive

AUTOIsTS ARE GIVEN time
Chief of Police Lane Says New Licen-
ses Must Be Placed on Cars Before
May Andrews to Appeal.
WAS FINED FOR VIOLATING RULE

Bemidji automobile owners who
have not been using their machines
because they have not secured a 1915
state license need not fear arrest be-
cause of that condition, said George
Lane, chief of police, this morning.
Chief Lane stated yesterday that
all machine owners would be reQuir-
ed to secure new licenses at once
If they were to operate their cars,
but as it is impossible to secure the
permits, which are purchased from
the secretary of state, Immediately
the chief has announced that the law
will not be enforced until May 1. He
asks, however, that the licenses be
secured as soon as possible.
Attorney A. A. Andrews was ar
raigned in municipal court yester-
day afternoon on a charge of viola
ting the state auto law. The COM
plant charged that. he had turned
his machine around in the center of
la block: Andrews failed to appear
lat the morning session of the court
as INSTRUCTED by the police but no.
tice was served on him in the after
noon by the sheriff to do so.
Counsel for Mr.. Andrews cited the
..trule Of reason" as an Interpretation
Eof the state law, in framing the de-
Tense. Attorneys Huffman, Gibbons
and the defendant argued that be-
cause of the fact that the street was
entirely free of vehicles when Mr..
Andrews made the turn which caused
the arrest, he was relieved of all re-
sponsibility.
P. j. Russell, city attorney, rep
resented the city in the case. After
a short deliberation Judge Crowell
found the defendant guilty and he
was fined two dollars or three days
in jail. Counsel immediately inform
ed the, court that lin appeal to the
district court will be made.
Applications for auto licenses may
be secured from the Jewett or Be-
midi. automobile garages. ,'r.:

igion should be to see that special

of interfering with things that do not

CREED AND POLITICS. - Your
article on dragging religion into pol

the little Day Book upon such a high
plane of independence that the big
red ink sheets should be ashamed of
themselves and hasten to consider
something. outside the real estate and
want advertising.
l would amend your article by
changing the word religion" into
"sectarianism." A lot of real religion
could be mixed into politics without
harm, but the sort of religion that
divides the people into sects and
breeds hatred between different
churches is the same counterfeit re-
Iigion that crucified Christ and fol-
lowed it up by burning heretics at the
stake for centuries afteTward. 1t is
not religion at all, but creed wOT-
ship that allies itself with the mann
mon of unrighteOUsness as represent
ed in government rotten with special
privileges.
1t is neither Catholic nor Protes-
tant, and you have done well to warn
the people not to be deceived into
balloting under the influence of this
false religion.
Under another name it is the same
sort of bigotry that l called attention
to in The Day Book ecently-that
is, the bigotry of partisanship. The
man that votes for Sweitzer because
he is the Democratic candidate COM
mits the same crime against liberty

him because he is a Catholic. The
man who votes faor Thompson be-
