FIND SUBMARINE F-4, BUT CREW
 BELIEVED DEAD
(Continued from page one.,

ard at least eighteen men in what is feared to be one of the west sub marine disasters in the worlds naval history.
 More than 36 hours of every effort known to naval practice to raise the sunken boat or get a signal from her crew have failed. Her marker buoy, which should come to the top to marx the resting place in such an emer- gency, has failed to appear, but the surface of the water is covered with film of oil.
 Navy department officials fear one oe two calamities-that the F-4 struck rock and that her crew was drowned in the inrushing water, or that there was an internal explosion.
 The usual diving radius of sub marine is between 150 and 200 feet The worlds record for diving. made hv the F1 sister ship of the sunken F-4 in San Francisco bay two years ago, is 2S3 feet at which depth she remained for 10 minutes and cruised at a speed of six knots.
 At that depth the hull creaked and groaned under the tremendous pres sue, and Lieut.. James B. Howell, her commander, reported that the water seeped through the seams.

Contentment and Health.

Alter all. the question of livable. ness in any environment is, as a rule. one of the temperament and adaptabil- ity of the individual. This is the opin. lon of the Journal of the American Medical association. Americans have braved the dreaded tropics with co nparative comfort and remained in perfect health. Manila and Panama have lost the ter,2rs of climate, while the far North has become the field of pleasure seekers.

AGAINST EGYPT
lSNOT ALL BLUFF

London, Dec. 20. Britishers today
regard Germany's much4adyertised
Egyptian campaign as mostly, though
not entirely, blum.
They were much interested In the
report that Field Marshal Won der
Goltx had arrived In Syria to lead a
Turk-G German invasion, but the story
did not agitate military circles.
officials whom the United Press In
tsryiewed today said that such q
campaign would require a more for
midable army than the enemy could
possibly muster and equip. in view
OF conditions at other fronts. II the
Teutons attempt such a drive, they
must retain huge forces In the Bal
kans to prevent the allies CO.
operation with the Serbians, and pos
sibly the Russians, from cutting their
communication Nevertheless, Eng
land Is taking no chances. She is
ready.
While the United Press is not per-
mitted to specify them, extraordinary
defenses have been made In the Snez
region since the Turks early abor-
tive attempt against that region. Ex-
perts agree these measures OF pro-
lection are practically impregnable,
"It would require at least two
months for the Turks and Germans
to assemble forces large enough to
menace the Egyptian front" said an
official. Meantime. England would
have ample opportunity to reinforce
in Egypt sufficiently to meet the In
yasion."
While the new Egyptian campaign
| is being advertised, there are reports
OF a drive" on the western front,
but the German offensive at Ypres
and other recent activities on the
western line are not considered new
drive. Manifestly the purpose Of
these moves is to prevent the allies
from reinforcing their troops now al

Members Of the Ford Party
Doubt Success Of the Pill
grinage and Seek 10 Have
! Ford Abandon His Mission

Christiania, Norway. Dec. z0.--For
the first time since the Ford peace
ship started on its journey leaders of
the party today began TO doubt OF
success. This doubt grew as 1t be-
came evident that the reception In
the first neutral country at which the
ship has touched lacked warmth, If
II was not actually hostile. Leaders
were convinced from the unfriendly
tone of the press that their plans to
bring the warning men out Of the
trenches will encounter rough sled
ding henceforth.
So strong is the feeling that sue
cess win not crown the party's peace
efforts that Judge Ben Lindsay Of
Denver eounseled Ford to abandon
|his mission. Lindsay is convinced
that Ford's efforts will be hopeless
and begged him to turn the enter
prise into one OF finding homes for
war orphans. To this proposal. how
ever, Ford turned deaf ear.
Ford is not downcast at the re
Iception accorded the party here. mol
Iis he disheartened at the row In mid.
Atlantic which left the party divided
against itself. He is now trying tG
get an audience with the king OF Nor
way, that he may seek to enlist him
as an active supporter OF the peace
party.
Rumors Of important Development
were current today. Ford's lieuten'
ants admit that their plans are nc
better developed now than they were
when the argosy left New York.
Thus far the expedition has cost
Ford s125,000, and 1t is estimated
the final figure will be at least $780,
600.
An attempt to oust several news
PAPER men for alleged unethical tao
tics failed, for the executive commit
tee agreed that expelling them would
end publicity for the expedition ant
impair its success.
| The attitude of the European press
has been influenced by unfavorabls
reports regarding the party cablet
from America. Moreover, quarrel'
reported aboard the ship also have
weakened the possible influence tn,

San Francisco, Dec. 20, That En-
peror Yuan Shi Kai has cut OF COM
munication, between Chinese revolu-
tionists in China and America, to pre-
vent war funds being sent to China,
was the belief OF prominent Chinese
here today.
This belief was given tangible sup
port following a meeting Of represen-
tatives of fifteen tongs and other
Chinese organizations, when word
from the revolutionists had been ex-
pected. Despite this, the revolution
airy movement was given new i'm
petus. Large sums were contributed
to the war fund and promises OF sup
port from many influential Chinese
throughout the United States were
announced.
Fear for the safety OF advocates oi
republic In China was expressed by
Chinese merchant, who said poll
tical dissenters are frequently thrown
into prison or summarily executed
without the formality OF a trial.
