progress was being made by the
United States in its negotiations with
the Zapata-Villa government for the
payment of an indemnity to the fam
lily of John B. McManus. an American

been made.

Honolulu. March 29.-The American
morning off Honolulu harbor. has
been located. Heroic efforts are be-
ing made to raise the stricken craft,
but after having been submerged for
more than 30 hours, 1t was regarded
as highly doubtful whether any of her
crew of 81 men remained alive.
To lift the little vessel to the sur
face. it was found necessary to send
to the Pearl Harbor naval station for
. derrick and crane. This involved
much loss Of time, and it was Thought
probable that the fate Of the crew
might not be determined until day.
light.
Lost Vessel Found.
Rescue vessels dragging the ocean
bed with graphing hooks CHANGED on
the stricken craft at depth of 800
feet. Making fast to the F-4. the
naval tug Navajo and the steamer
Makaala began to tow their find
they were not certain that it was the
submarine they had hooked-toward
shallow water. Quantities of oil came
to the surface, proof that it really
was the lost vessel. Soon afterwards
Q submarine marker boy, deserted far
below the surface Of the water. re-
moved all doubt that the F-4 had been
found.
Just when the marker buoy had
been released by the disabled boat
there was no means Of determining.
II the signal was given after the
graphing hooks of the rescue vessel
took hold. then the crew-or at least
some of them-were still alive.
Struggle In Vain.
For more than an hour the tug and
the steamer struggled with their un.
;wieldy burden. Soon afterwards II
became apparent 1t would be- impos
oible to tow the submarine near
enough to the surface, and hurry
call was sent to the naval station for
. wrecking ship.
Naval authorities admitted they had
given up hope for the F-4's crew.
However. resuscitating apparatus
has been dispatched to the scene and
every effort will be made to develop
any spark Of life which may remain
The general opinion is that the YES.
sells plates were sprung through the
immense pressure Of the water at a
depth Of so fathoms, and that the
two officers and nineteen enlisted
men aboard have persisted.
Vessels in the vicinity which are
equipped with submarine signal ap
paratus continued to send out sig.
nails, but no answer came.

SAYS ANNOUNCEMENT
Commander Of Vessel Believed to
Have Been in Command Of Sub

Three British Cruisers
In North Sea.

London, March 27.-TeIssraphins
Tuesday from saionIki, The Daily
Mails correspondent says:
Notwithstanding the continuance Of
the gale, light squadron penetrated
the DardansIIes az far az the mine
zone and completed lts reconnaissance
without incident. The mine sweepers
continue their work."
London, March 27.-The British ad-
miralty announces the end of the IA
nous German submarine U-29, which
had to its credit the sinking Of several
British steamers and the torpedoing
Of others. In making the announce
ment the admiralty said 1t had good
reason to believe that the U-29 had
been sunk with all hands.
More than ordinary interest at
tached to the U-29 because of the be-
lief in some quarters that Lieutenant
Weddigen, who was in command of
the submarine U-9 when she sank
three British cruisers In the North Sea
last September, had been promoted to
the command of the newer and larger
boat.
People Enthusiastic.
The news. following as it did re-
ports that the attack on the Darda.
nelles had been resumed and that the
Russians had won important victories
over the Austrians in Bukowina and
at Uzsok Pass in the Carpathians,
gave the peoples of the allied coun.
tries cause for cheerfulness.
The admiralty gave no details OF
how or where the U-29 was sunk, but
the report that she was disposed OF
/ was received in shipping circles with
a sigh of relief.
1t was this vessel which just fort
night ago torpedoed six steamers in
Bristol channel and off the Scilly is
lands within two days. Her comman
der, who spoke English perfectly and
treated the crews of the torpedoed
vessels with great consideration, told
one Of the merchant captains who was
taken aboard the submarine that he
was the commander of the submarine
which torpedoed the British cruisers
Aboukir, Greasy and Hogue. If this
was true, he was the man who was
looked upon as Germany's most dar
ing submarine navigator.

NEVER ACQUIRED With EASE
Talent Requires Cultivation That Can
Only Be Enjoyed by Those Who
Pay the Price.

Persons with no apparent talent
often look on the talented as fortu-
nate folk who, by some favor of the
gods, live easily and charmingly-
drifting down g sunlit and flower
bordered stream. They are unaware
of all that it costs in self-sacFifce, in
resistance to temptations from with
in and without, and in hard and per-
sistent labor, to bring a talent to
ANYTHING approaching maturity. It
is not possible to secure statistics on
dead talents but if it were it would
be found hat some so per cent per-
ish. This is because of the lack of
character in those who possess them.
Talent calls for iron purpose; it is
not a self-perfecting thing. An al
most grim obstinacy is required from
the outset if it is to be cultivated
urged on from flower to fruit, from
ripening to harvest. Parents, friends,
the conyentions-eyen reason itself
may be its natural foes. He-or
she-who can save a talent alive, vet
pay all the debts Of affection, must
be possessed not only of a clear and
creative mind, but of a brave,
Astounding and magnanimous spirit
as well-a spirit austere beneath its
gentleness. Character, and charac-
ter alone, can ave a talent 10 the
end.
