Search for Facts About Operation
and Construction of Subs.

Secretary Daniels has referred to the
bureau of steam engineering and con-
struction and repair the report of the
board which investigated the sinking or
the submarine F-4 in Honolulu Harbor.
The report. published yesterday, gives
corrosion of tank plates and rivets as the
primary cause of the disaster.
The officers of the two bureaus named
will study the report of the investigat-
ing board with a view to determining
what, If any. lessons it teaches with re-
gard 10 submarine construction and

disaster to the F-4 to faulty operation
of the vessel by those on board
It has been decided at the Navy De-

not worth repairing. The hull was
crushed during the salvage operations

first FISH WHARYES
READY NEXT MONTH
Old Ones. Menace to City's Health.
Will Be Done Away with in
Eighteen Months.

The completion some time next
month of the first section of the new
concrete municipal wharves at the
foot of Eleventh street southwest will
mark the beginning of a new era
along the local water front. The old
fish wharves have long been a men
ace to the health OF the city.
John II. Sherman, superintendent of
weights and measures for the District.
who also has supervision over the
wharves, said yesterday that. although
the remaining old wharves are being
kept as sanitary as their age and con-
dition will permit. the new wharves
will be worthy of their surroundings
in the National Capital.
Mr. Sherman estimates that the new
wharves will be completed in about
eighteen months. The new hsh depot
for which Congress last year appro-
priated $4,000. will be a continuous
piece of re-enforced concrete, divided,
probably. into three sections. Mr..
Sherman said.
In addition. Congress has appropri-
ated sis5,000 for the erection Of about
forty two-story stores on the new
wharves. which will be rented by the
District to the fish merchants. The
second floor of the stores will con-
sist of an up-to-date cold storage
plant that will insure to the people
Of the District a wholesome supply of
sea food.
Mr.. Sherman explained that the old
wharves can only be destroyed grad
ually. as the new sections are COM
pleted. so as not to cripple traffic
with the river boats.

REPORT GERMAN EMBARGO.
Lansing Has Not Heard of This Ac-
ton in Berlin.

Reports were current here yesterday
that the German government has declared
an embargo on all exports from Germany
Secretary Lansing said. however. that the
State Department has not yet been
advised of such action.
For several months the German govern
ment has been unwilling to make ex-
ceDtions in favor of the expectation to
the United States OF articles such as
dyestuffs. which were embargoed early
in the war. The German government
has demanded, in return for permission
to export. that American goods of equal
value be sent to Germany. This has
been regarded as an attempt to bring
pressure on the United States to force
Great Britain to abandon its blockade OF
Germany.

The fact is that during the last court
