HOOKS ATTACHED TO THE "a
Naval Officers Need Several Weeks to
Raise Submarine Containing
Twenty-one Bodies.

Honolulu, April 19.-Naval officers
in charge of the work of raising the
submarine F-4 from the ocean floor
outside the harbor said it would be
several weeks before the hulk, which
contains the bodies of q men, could
be brought to the surface.
A line that had hooked the coming
tower was cleared and made fast to
the vessels. There are now three
lines attached to the craft and another
must be hooked on before pontoon
scows are employed to begin lifting
operations.
1t was said plan had been devised
to raise the submarine several feet
and then tow it over the shelving
ocean bed until it struck ground again,
this operation to be repeated until
the hulk could be brought into shallow
water. In straight lifting it was said
there was danger Of the lines slip
ping off.

"HOMING INSTINCT" IN BIRDS
Attachment to First Home Is Much
the Same as Is Evidenced
in Humanity.

The habit of birds in migrating
South when winter comes on is IN
fiuenced by the need Of finding SUIT
ficient supply Of food. AS food grows
scarce when winter approaches in the
farthest northern places where BIRDS
live they naturally turn to the South,
where, their instinct tells them, food
will be plentiful. The return Of the
birds in the spring to their accustomed
haunts in the North is one Of the evil
dences of their possession of an In
stinct which is also strong in man.
The environment in which bird or
human being is brought up generally
becomes permanent part OF its ma
ture. Ornithologists have not yet
made 1t clear just what enables the
bird to find it's way back and forth to
the same spot every year, and our
knowledge is confined to the fact OF
what the "homing instinct" does,
After they mate and build their
first nest and bring up their first fam
lily, birds cherish a fondness for that
spot much the same as the attach
ment that man feels for his early
home The spring migration of birds
is their joyful return home after a
temporary sojourn abroad to secure
the means of livelihood.

ITALY AND AUSTRIA At odds
DESPITE GERMANY'S EFFORTS,
COUNTRIES FAIL TO AGREE.
Disposition of Province of Trent New
Source of acknowledgements
Made.

Rome, via Paris, April 20.-F'rom
an authoritative source it is learned
that Notwithstanding Germany's eff
forts, Italy and Austria have failed to
reach an agreement with reference to
territorial concessions.
Many reports have been current re-
speeding the proposals said to have
been made by influential Austrians
anxious to preserve peace with Italy,
for the temporary disposition Of the
province of Trent, provided Austria
consented to cede it to Italy. The
latest proposal, according to these re-
ports, was that the territory be re-
ceded to the Pope and that the Pontiff
turn the territory over to Italy after
the war.
Prince Won BueIow, the German Am
bassador at Rome, Is said to have
fr0wned upon this suggestion because
he feared that it would be new
source OF friction between Austria and
Italy-something he had been striv-
ing to eliminate.
Earlier suggestions regarding the
disposition Of Trent were that 1t be
ceded to Germany to hold until the
end of the war or that it be occupied
until that time by Switzerland, with
the agreement in either case that the
territory should eventually become
Italian.

Indignation of People Evil
denced by Editorials.

London, April 1.-Two Zeppelin
airships visited the east coast of Eng
land shortly after midnight, dropping
bombs on several towns and doing
considerable damage to property. As
far as has been ascertained only one
person, a woman, was injured. 1t is
said she was only slightly hurt.
The airshps dropped four bombs
on Maiden, in Essex county, 80 miles
northeast of London, but no damage
resulted. Bombs were also dropped
in the Reybridge Basin, two miles
across the river. These set fire to
some buildings. The arships came up
the Rlackwater river and over the
marshes.
London, April 17.--Although It is
not yet certain that a German sCbma'
rime boat was responsible for the send
ing to the bottom of the Dutch steamer
Katwyk off the North Hinder light
ship, the sinking of the vessel has
aroused the indignation Of the Dutch
people, as evidenced by the editorials
In the newspapers in Holland.
The KatWyk, which was loaded with
grain from Baltimore consigned to the
Dutch 6 vernment, is reported to have
been lying at anchor at the time OF
the explosion and to have been flying
the Dutch colors.
The Dutch newspapers insist, there
fore, that no mistake could have been
made and that if German submarine
actually topedoed the steamer I'VE
must expect that the German govern
made responsible FOR this severe viola
tor of the rights of neutral powers.
Dutch TrawIers Seized.
The fact that the Dutch government
was directly involved in the Katwyk' S
cargo and that the news of the sink
ing of the steamer came Immediately
on top of the announcement that four
Dutch trawlers had been seized by the
Germans AID taken to Zeebrugge, ap
parently heightened the feelings OF
the HollaAders.
A dispatch to Reuters from Flush
ing reports the arrival there of the
crew of the Katwyf. The men say that
while the night watch was being
changed severe shock was felt and
the ship began to take water.
katwyk Catches Fire.
AS the steamer was sinking the
crew took to the boats and while row
ing away saw the periscope of sub
marine, which quickly disappeared.
The Katwyk sank about Is minutes
after the explosion.
After the torpedo struck, the Kat
wyk caught fire and only the ships
papers could be saved.
