TEN BODIES IN ENGINE ROOM.
Further Explorations Of Submarine
E4 Reveals Terrible Siaht.

Honolulu, T. H.-Ten more bodies
were found in the hull of the United
States submarine F-4. They vera
crowded together in the engine room.
A hole was cut through the steel
plates to effect an entrance. One
body was identified as that of Ivan L.
Mahan, machinist's mate, of Lima, o.
Members of the naval board of in
quiry declined to discuss the question
OIL whether the finding of so many
bodies in the compartment indicated
the nature Of the accident which
caused the vessel to sink in Honolulu
Bay, March 25, with % officers and
men on board
1t was suggested by some OF those
working on the submarine that an ex-
plosion elsewhere in the vessel caused
the men to seek refuge in the engine
room.
So far Is bodies have been taken
from the hold of the submarine
others, many in fragmentary state
and badly decomposed, have been To-
Gated covered with wreckage OF the
interior.

Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
army, pursuing the Russians, reached
the Jasiolda near Silneka, Bereza and

Bavarians Cross Forest.
After being delayed six days in the
depths of Bialawieska forest the
troops of Prince Leopold of Bavaria
have now emerged and are proceeding
eastward toward Wolkowysk, on the
road to Minsk. 1t is expected that the
entire German front will now move
forward more rapidly.
Both wings were held UP waiting for
the Princes army to accomplish its
passage through the forest. AS his
forces occupy the centre of the Austro-
German lines, it was impossible for
! the armies in the Baltic provinces and
in Galicia to advance far lest the front
be broken.

NoveIlsts' Troubles.

George Meredith said that the most
difficult thing to write in fiction was
dialogue. But there is surely one
thing at least as difficult-a thing so
rarely well done that a mere reader
might think it to be more difficult than
dialogue-and that is the telling what
happened.

DOES DEATH END ALL?
(From "A System of Ethics. !"

(From "A System of Ethics"
 It is irrational to think Death ends al for then life is gone and annhilaed and it is just though it had never been. A life in wise be destroyed by death what has been experienced is eternal and ndelibe constituent of reality to be erased or altered It is foolish doubt which Karl Moor expresses with the pistol in his hand "If the paltry pressure of this paltry thing makes the wise and the foo the coward and the hero, the noble and the villin, equal" That cannot be; death the thread of the earthly fe but the content of life can neither be altered nor annhilated by it; reality eternal in its essence nothing that is real can, to quote Angelus Sesius, perish and to be.
