FIND NO TRACE Of

IN SUBMARINE IA
Debris Will Be Removed from
Vessel Now in Dry
dock.

HONOLULU, Aug. H.-Exposure OF
the hulk of the u. S. submarine F-$,
lost with her crew of tykenty-two men
In Honolulu harbor March 20, failed
today to reveal any trace of the
bodies of the crew or TO throw any
light on the cause of the accident,
After being raised from a depth OF
300 feet, the submarine was placed IN
drydoek yesterday. The pumping out
of the drydock was completed last
night.
Today the F-4 lies on her starboard
side in the drydock. When the exam
lining board, composed of Rear Ad-
miral C. ]. Boush, Lieutenant Com
mander julius A. Furer and Lteuten-
ant Kirby b. Crittenden, entered the
vessel they found the starboard side
and bottom filled with debris, battery
plates, sand and mud.
IF any bodies remain in the hulk
they are under the debris. Doubt
was expressed today as to whether
any would be found, since the great
holes torn in the submarine, only
part of which were protected by mats
during the months of raising opera
tions, allowed the marine creatures
with which the waters OF Hawaii
swarm to enter, and 1t was feared
the bodies of the crew had been en-
tirely destroyed. Naval officers said
the debris would be removed from
the vessel today and a thorough
search made for bodies.
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
definitely ascertained whether the
holes caused the loss of the vessel or
whether they were torn during lifting
operations.
WASHINGTON. Aug 3i.-The
navy board, headed by Rear Admiral
Boush examining the wreck of the
submarine F-4, has been instructed
to make every effort to determine
the cause of the disaster. Naval Of
fcials said today that every clue
would be followed and that they had
no fear of revelations.

Before signing the general appro-
prlation bill, which the legislature
turned over to him just before ad-
joarnment, Gov. Byrne exercised
his pruning knife quite literally.
Six items, aggregating in amount
$40, ,060, were vetoed, leaving the
total amount Of the bill $3 476, ,472.
83, or $62 ,237 So less than the APP
priation bill of 1918. Two bills
were also vetoed by the governor,
one providing that the tenure of
the county superintendent office
should run until June 1st instead
of Jan. 1st., and also the bill
which would allow small towns to
have loose chairs in moving picture
shows. We are not informed il.

propriations, but the governor {
explanations seem to be very rea s.

That this system cannot con-
tinue indefinitely is apparent.
The soil will become exhausted,
and with the increase of settlement
the acres will become scarcer, and
he will then have to adjust him.
self to new conditions, but he will
be able to do it. 1t is not that t he
American farmer is inferior in any
way to the European farmer, but
he has adjusted himself TO his con-
ditions and he has made the most
of them, and he will continue to
do so when conditions change.

Some of the American people are
becoming impatient with the per-
sistent refusal of England and
Germany to give any favorable
consideration to the many protests
made by our government regarding
the interference with neutral COM
merce. Ths trial attorney fre-
quently makes objections during
the trying of case which he does
not expect the court to sustain,
but they lay the ground for flu
ture appeal. So doubtless some
of the protests made by neutral
countries are made, not with the
expectation that they will now be
granted, but they pave the way for
damage claims when the final ad-
lustments are made.

feet of a licence to sell intoxicat-

miles of the corporate limits of an

opinion is that such license is void
and also expresses the opinion
that the members of the township
board which grants such license
are guilty of a criminal offenss as
stated in the act of 1918.

The Sioux City Tribune quotes
the statistics of crop yields in this
country as compared with some
foreign countries, showing that the
average yield Of wheat per acre in
this country is sixteen bushels per
acre; in France twenty bushels
per acre; in Germany twenty eight
bushels per acre, and in the Unit
ed Kingdom thirty three bushels,
and some other crops in about the
same proportion.
Commenting the Tribune says
eff European farmers can produce
such crops on land that was titled
1000 years before Columbus
discovered America and has been
constantly titled ever since, surely
American farmers can "speed up"
on land which is practically virgin. ;"
Before criticising too severely
the American farmer it is we'll to
consider the conditions in the va
rious countries. In the European
countries they have had a surplus
of labor and shortage of acres,
and the problem was to produce
as much as possible per acre, re-
gardless of the labor required.
In this country we have had sur
plus of acres and shortage of Ia
Dor, and the problem has been
to produce as much as possible
per man. In this we have
beaten the worlds record. In
no country can the individual
farmer produce as much as he can
in this country, with his improved
machinery. 1t is not uncommon
for an American farmer to produce
$500 bushels of wheat, or even
more in q season. It is needless
to say that ne could never do this
if he titled his soil as the Euro.
pean farmer has to. He has made
the most of his opportunities.

The Ger tainty of a big deficit in
the national revenues for the pres
ent fiscal year is causing the dem
ocrats to wonder after all, if the
budget system isn't the proper
method of making appropriations.
President Taft recommended that
system, but the democrats opposed
it. They also opposed the plan
proposed by the monetary commits
sion during Taft's administration.
When they got control of the gov
ernment they proceeded to enact a
law which, with few minor
changes, followed closely these
recommendations, and are now
claiming this act as one Of their
great achievements.

There is a disposition among
elderly people to compare condi-
tions as they remember them in
their younger days with those of
the present, and draw conclusions
rather detrimental to the present.
This is particularly true in refer
ence to methods of conducting our
public schools, and without stop
ping to investigate, many people
conclude that our schools are not
as effective as they used to be a
few generations ago. The Balti-
timore Sun gives the result of an
interesting test along this line.
Some old examination papers that
had been used in the schools in
1916 were found, and the questions
submitted to pupils as near as
possible of the same age in the
schools in 1866. The percent
ages are the averages of about
eighty pupils examined in 1916
and about three times that mum
ber in 1866 and are as follows:
Percent correct
1916 1866
Spelling
20 word 4O.6 81 2
Arithmetic
8 examples 29.4 65.2 2
Geography
IL questions 40.3 53.4
| The results are plainly favorable
to present methods of teaching,
and if similar tests could be made
it would doubtless be found thai
in other lines of development al
we'll as in methods of teaching tht
world has been making progress.
