Berlin, Aug. 81 (via London) -
The German Admiralty to-day ad-

marine which may have torpedced
the steamer Arabic possibly had
foundered or had been sunk by the
British. A high official of the Ad-
miralty, in again declaring that alb

the Arabic was yet available, said:
Would it not be lamentable e the
submarine should have been lost and
we should never learn what hap

The official would not say whether

any one vessel had been away from
it's base, but stated suggestively:
"They seldom remain out longer

over the long distance telephone at
1880 o'clock last night. Mrs. Elias

Viola Stevens, Of s59 Hancock Street,
Brooklyn, last Thursday morning.
Another member Of the Goodman
family then took charge Of the tele-

"Say, we're in Tsmaqua; that's

BODIES OF CREW
OF F-4 FOUND
UNDER DEBRIS
Submarine, Now in Homo.
lulu Drydock, Is Filled
with Wreckage.

Honolulu, Aug. 3l.-Several bodies
of the twenty-five men who went down
in the submarine "a on March %
were found to-day entangled in .he
wreckage of the interior. One BODY
was removed. Two others were in such
a poor state of preservation that the
work Of uncoverng them is being done
slowly.
One body, found in the forward COM
partment, was identified as that Of
George E. Ashcroft, of Los Angeles, a
gunner's mate.
The finding Of the bodies was an
nounced officially by RearAdmirsl :.
J. Boush. A hole was ordered cut in
the forward compartment of the sub
marine, which so far has been mac
cessble The search began when the
submarine, which was brought to the
surface yesterday, had been placed u
dry dock. The first body uncovered
was found in the battery compartment
amidships.
Preparations have been made to EN-
I balm the bodies as soon as they are
taken out. If permission is granted
from Washington, the United States
cruiser Maryland, due to sail to-day
will be held here to take the bodies
recovered to the United States.
To-day the F-4 lies on her star
board side in the dry dock. When the
examining board, composed of Rear
Admiral Boush, Lieutenant Commander
julius A. Furer, and Lieutenant Kirby
B. Crittendea, entered the vessel they
found the starboard side and bottom
filed with debris. battery plates, sand
and mud.
Doubt was expressed to-day il all
the bodies would be found, since the
great holes torn in the submarine,
only part of which were protected by
mats during the months of raising
operations, allowed the marine Great
ures, with which the waters OF Hawaii
swarm, TO enter, and il was feared the
bodies of some Of the crew had been
entirely destroyed:
In addition to gaping holes in the
stern of the submarine, a big hole
has been torn in the forward part.
The investigating board has not def
nitely ascertained whether the holes
caused the loss of the vessel or
whether they were torn during Lifting
operations.

Chlorine Gas Killed
F-4 Crew, Is Indication

Washington, Aug. 31.-Serious weak
nesses common to all fur Of the navy'S
type Of submarine are pointed out in
the report, made public to-day, Of the
board of inquiry which made an inves-
tigation at Honolulu Immediately after
the loss of the F4 with her crew or
twenty-five last March. So far as could
be determined before the boat was
raised, the board found that every pos
sible precaution had been taken within
the limitations of design, and the re-
port pays tribute TO the efficiency OF
the men who lost their lives.
With the "A now in dry dock at
Honolulu, a new board, headed by Rear
Admiral Bousch, has been appointed
by the Navy Department TO ascertain
if possible the cause OF the disaster
Although the first board reported that
il could draw no conclusion as TO the
cause. the possibility that the crew
might have been killed by chlorine gas
is indicated in the finding that:
"Sea water has at times seeped into
the cells Of the storage batteries of
the boats of the F class. causing the
evolution of chlorine gas. which is
quickly destructive OF life"
All in Same Class Alike.
In connection with the following
principal findings of the board. II is
pointed out tnat each defective con-
dition reported as TO the "a obtained
in all boats Of the class:
THE structure Of the hull of the
submarine torpedo boat Fi was reg
ularly inspected. and the condi-
tion as 10 repair and upkeep was
excellent, only the most minor corro-
sion having taken place.
"The structure OF the hull had not
suffered loss Of strength by eorrosion
of hull plating.
"The propelling engines Diesel oil
type { cycle) have inherent faults and
are difficult 70 keep in repair, but were
kept in as high a state of efficiency as
was practicable within the limitations
Of said design.
"This unsatisfactory condition Of the
propelling engines had no bearing on
the loss of the submarine, as this boat
at the time of her loss was being pro-
PEELED by the electric motors and stor-
age batteries.
