|F-4 IS RELOCATED
RescueTs Deceived by Old Anchor
From Bat1eShip Oregon.


Honolulu-After making the heart
rending discovery Sunday that rescuers
had been working in the wrong spot,
the United States submarine F-4 was
definitely located outside the harbor.
Pieces of the superstructure of the
vessel have been brought to the sur
face.
W. c. Parks, civil engineer, has
started construction of an immense
diving bell, a large cast iron pipe
seven feet in height, fitted with heavy
plate glass ports
A hydro-aeroplane has been made
ready for instant fight if required.
The dredge California will shift its
mornings, and tugs will criss-cross in
all directions. Should their drags
catch on the F-4, chain net will be
woven around the submerged boat and
will attempt direct lift
Despair supplanted hope earlier in
the day when two divers discovered
that chains from the dredger Califor-
mia, which had been fould with some
thing on the floor of the ocean outside
Honolulu harbor since Friday, were
not attached to the lost craft but to
an old anchor.
All the resources at the command of
naval officers here had been employed
for two days and nights in an effort to
raise this anchor which was supposed
to be the F-4
1t is believed to have been, lost by
the battleship Oregon
Streams of bubbles seen rising to
the surface of the water and floating
patches of oil had given encouragement
to the belief that the dredge's chains
had become lodged on the submarine,
which disappeared Thursday when al
target practice.
Efforts to raise the object that helc
the dredge's chains failed and crews o,
men worked untiringly to bring what
was confidently believed to be the un
dersea craft into more shallow water
Naval officers, expressing the hops
that life might remain in the bodies Of
some. at least, of the 81 men impris
oned in the F4, sought to expedite
operations in every way possible

Italy Awaiting More
Favorable Opportunity

Rome-Italian Intervention has been
postponed again. Despite the failure
of Prince Won Buelow's negotiations to
conclude permanent agreement be-
tween Austria and Italy, there is posi-
tive evidence that this country will
not enter the war until toward the end
of April, and possibly not so early as
that.
1t must not be understood that there
has been any change in Italy's atti-
tude, except in putting off interven-
tion until date when it is expected
the Dardanelles will have been forced
and Constantinople occupied, possibly
with the cooperation of Bulgaria, and
when the Russians will have passed
the Carpathians and invaded Hungary.

lief prevailed that Illness was the

away
A good example of the long struggle
which science had to make to over
throw suspicion is shown in the curl
Gus costume worn by French pbysf
clans in the early eighteenth century
when treating sufferers from the
plague.
The garb represents sound scientific
knowledge in the protection it gives
the body against infection, and is
quite similar in this respect to that
worn by physicians in plague-stricken
districts today.
But the big, staring glass eyes and
the huge artificial nose, which served
no useful purpose. were survivals OF
the idea that disease was caused By
evil spirits which could be frightened
away If the physicians appearance
was sufficiently terrifying.-New York
