OUR SUBMARINE "a
RAISED TO FACE
WITH OFFICER AND Fl MEN, IT
WENT TO THE BOTTOM OFF
HONOLULU COAST.
IN DEEP WATER FIVE MONTHS
Lieutenant EIDE Was in Charge of the
Vessel During Maneuvers When It
Sunk-Boat Raised to Determine
Cause of the Disaster.

Honolulu, T. H-Submarine F-4,

Dor of Honolulu March 25, 1915, dur
ing practice maneuvers, and carried to
their death Lieutenant Alfred L. Eide
and a crew of 81 men, was successful
ly raised Sunday.
History of This Tragedy.
The F4, commanded by Lieutenant
Alfred EIDE and carrying a crew of 81
men, went to the bottom during man
euvers of the "Fo' squadron. She was
located two days later, and Diver John
Agraz of the navy descended 215 feet
establishing a new worlds record, in
an effort to facilitate the work OF
bringing her to the surface. Her crew
it was said, might have been alive at
this time, but attempts at rescue fail
ed, and on March 80 Rear Admiral c.
B. T. Moore, commanding the Honolu
lu naval station, reported that the F4
lay in $40 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, leaving San
Francisco April on the cruiser Mary
land.
Divers Arduous Work.
One of these divers, Frank Chilly
went down 22S feet and found one OF
the compartments of the F4 filled
with water. Another, William Tough
man, descended 220 feet the next day
and was seriously injured by water
pressure. These men put lines on the
F4, by which the boat was dragged
slowly up the shelving bottom, but il
the process the stern was wrecked anC
broken and work was halted to avail
the arrivals of pontoons.
Nothing has been divulged by nava
officials regarding conditions, if they
are known, inside the boat
Find the Cause.
Rear Admiral Boush, commandant o
the naval station; Lieut.. CrittendeI
and Naval Constructor Furer will be
gin a thorough investigation for tn,
purpose of ascertaining, if possible
the cause of the disaster.

Russians Held Them.

London, Sept. 1.-The Russians thus
far have prevented the Germans and
Austrians from carrying into effect
their efforts to force back the two ex-
IRENE wings of the armies of Grand
Duke Nicholas. At the northern ex-
tremity of the front that portion of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's army
commanded by General Won Buelow is
still fighting for the bridgehead south
of Friedrichstad, while the Austro-
German forces under General Both
mer, who broke through the Russian
lines on either side of Brzezany, Ca
licia, have been checked at some
points on the Stripa river.

signs yet of any slackening of the Ger
man pursuit of the retiring Russians,
and, according to the official report
issued in Berlin today, progress has
been made in all sectors of the eastern
battle line except that in northern
Courland, where the armies of Grand
Duke Nicholas are offering an effect
i've resistance.
Russians in New Positions.
From the southeast of Kovno, where
the Germans claim to have broken the
Russian resistance and must, there
fore, be approaching Wilma, along the
Niemen to Grodno and thence south
eastward through the forest of Bielo-
viezh and along the borders of the
Pripet river marshes, the Russians are
falling back to new positions.
Speculation again is being INDUCED
in as to whether the Germans intend
to follow the Russians further or pre-
pare positions from which they can
hold the Muscovites while the Teu-
tons attempt an offensive in the Bal
kans or on the western lines in France
and Belgium. Military observers here
are of the opinion that this question
must be settled before many days have
elapsed, arguing that with the summer
coming to an end any ventures pro-
posed for the fall must soon develop.
The artillery has been the chief
mode of warfare on the western line
Still Pressing Russians Hard.
London, Aug. 30.-While reports
from the eastern war theater, embrace
ing the region from Courland to south
eastern Galicia, indicate that the Ger
mans and Austrians are still pressing
the Russians hard in combat or tena
ciously following them in retreat, mil
itary observers here are hoping that
the approaching equinoxial season will
limit the further forward movement
of the Teutons and force them to be
content with the fruit of their past
successes as the winter season falls
upon them.
Won Hindenburg Active.
Both Berlin and Vienna lay empha
sis on the statement that Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg's forces along
the Dvina river in Courland have re
newed their activities, which were
brought to sudden halt recently will
