ing of cotton on the contraband list
by the allies did not create a desperate

JAPAN WILL GIVE

PLIES OF AMMUNITION.

Tokyo-The Kokumin Shimbun
says:
premier Okuma states that Japan
has decided to give greater assist
ance to Russia to prosecute the war.
He could not discuss details. but al
lowed it to be understood that this
assistance would take the form of the
forwarding of greater supplies of am
munition"
One of Russia's greatest embarrass-
ments has been a shortage of guns
and ammunition. Military writer's,
while not discounting the effectiveness
of the enormous Austro-German often
sive movement, have stated that the
extent Of recent Russian reverses has
been due in part to inadequate sup
plies of munitions.
Russias facilities are entirely in
sufficient to meet the large demand Of
such campaign as is under way.
With the Baltic Sea closed to her YES

to import supplies only through Arch

road. The attempt of the allies 10

its objects the opening of the straits

from Pacific ports. Japan also has
forwarded war supplies to Russia.

The United States Has Informed Ger.
many 1t Desires Separate Re-
plies Regarding Lusitana
and the Arabic.

Washington.-The United States re-
ceived further assurances from Ger
many of its determination to yield to
the demands of the government re-
garding the protection OF American
lives at sea.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, having received lengthy
instructions from Berlin, telephoned
the State Department and asked for
an appointment with Secretary Lans-
ing. Promptly at the hour set he APP
peared at the department
The ambassador informed the secrc-
tary of state that Germany would give
full satisfaction to the United States
for the loss of American lives on the
White Star liner Arabic. The Ger
man government he said, would go
further than a mere disavowel, as soon
as it is definitely established that the
vessel was sunk without warning. Sec
rotary Lansing informed the ambassa-
dor that the United States considered
it had conclusive proof that no warn
ing was given, and the ambassador in
dicated in return that the German gov
eminent desired only to receive re-
port of the incident from its own
sources.
The question of the diSavowal Of
the sinking of the Lusitania and an
offer of reparation for the loss OF
American lives was not taken up, for
the reason that the United States has
informed Germany it desires the is
sues in the two cases to be consid
cred separately.
The two governments. therefore,
have come to an understanding on
that point. This government: inform
ed Germany it would insist on dealing
with the Arabic first, Germany, there
fore, will withhold it's final reply on
the Lu Isitania case, which will close
the controversy until after the Arabic
case has been settled.
After the conference the ambassa-
dor indicated his belief that the nego-
tiations in the Arabic case would be
followed by negotiations over the Luz
sitania. In support OF this statement
he cited the recent declaration in Ber-
lin that submarine policy satisfac-
tory to the United States shortly
would be made.

Went Below the Water.

Honolulu.-The United States sub
marine Fla, submerged outside the
harbor here since March % last, was
relocated and towed to the quarantine
station in Honolulu bay.
Although the F-4 has been brought
into the harbor the wreck IS still sub
merged to a depth of six feet, and
will be drydocked. Nothing has been
divulged by the naval officials regard
ing conditions.
The actual raising operations occu-
pied two hours, the plans of the e1gi-
neers working without a hitch. The
still submerged vessel was towed slow
ly into the harbor where all the
shipping. including the interned Ger
man boat Gera, half-masted their
flags.
When the submarine has been dry
locked a board composed of Rear Adj
miral Clifford J. Boush, commandant
of the naval station; Lieutenant Kirby
Il. Crittenden and Naval Constructor
julius A. F'urrer will begin a thor
ough investigation for the purpose of
ascertaining, If possible, the cause OF
the disaster.
The submarine F-4 commanded by
Lieutenant Alfred L. EIDE and with a
crew of q men. went to the bottom
during maneuvers of the "F'' squad
ron. She was located Two days later
and Diver John Agraz of the navy
who descended 215 feet, establishing
a new worlds record, in ar effort to
facilitate the work of bringing her to
the surface.
Attempts at rescue failed, and on
March 80 it was reported she lay in
270 feet of water and would have to
be raised by pontoons.
Secretary Daniels announced that
the boat would be raised at any cost
in order to determine the cause OF
the accident and diving apparatus
and divers were sent out.
Frank Crilly, diver, went down
22S feet and found one OF the COM
partments of the F-4 filled with water.
Another, William Loughman, descend
ed 220 feet the next day and was Sc
riously injured by water pressure.
These men put lines on the F-4 by
which the boat was dragged slowly
up to the shelving bottom, but in the
process the stern was wrecked and
broken, and work was halted to await
the arrival of pontoons. Six of these,
capable of lifting so tons each, were
sent from Mare Island navy yard early
in August on the Maryland.
At the time of the accident reports
gained circulation that the F-4 was
not in good shape when she went be-
low water. These were officially de-
MED.

DISAGREE ON BEST PLAN.
City Engineer and Council Take Differ
ent Ground on Water Project.

After deciding 10 build a concrete dam
across the waterway from Asher creek
under the first bridge in the North
Center street road north OF the river
bridge TO protect the supply main that
carries water from the city's wells 10
the pumping station, the council is un-
certain now what to do. 1t had au-
thorized Councilman ". S. Mcfarland
20 proceed TO buy material and build
the dam.
CITY Engineer Steiner found so many
serious objections 10 this plan, and
the cost, estimated at $4,000, was so
large that the council is seeking some
other and cheaper way OF protecting
the twentyinch main. City Engineer
Steiner has prepared plans for lowering
the main 20 the bed of the channel and
supporting it in a concrete trough,
supported in turn on piling. The es-
timated cost would probably be
fourth or less Of the cost Of the dam.
This plan Superintendent Matsen. OF
the pumping station has raised objec-
tons. because he believes the lowering
Of a section of the main would create
air pockets in the pipe at that point.
Such pockets would interfere serious
~ with pumping the water from the
wells. which Is done by suction. To
remove this objection Councilman Nc
Farland believes it would be necessary
TO install an air pump at the pumping
station 20 maintain a constant air
vacuum in the main. The council has
only a conjecture Of what this addi-
tional equipment would cost City En-
