Alleged Interview That President
 Wilson Repud ates.

Paris, April l.--5 D. m.-Gabriel Alphaud secretaire general of the Temps, who was introduced to Presi- dent Wilson at the white house Wed. nesday by the French ambassador in Washington, has sent to the Temps an interview, which ho says he had with the president
 T am glad 10 see on American soil" President Wilson is quoted as having said. "Frenchmen who come 10 satisfy themselves as to the state of opinion in the United States. You will not receive any impression. l am sge, that will give you cause reason ably to complain of that opinion
 Definite questions are at times considered by France or others of the belligerent countrie sas proof that the American government tayors sometimes one and sometimes the others of the combatants. The two groups of belligerent nations com. plain of the attitude of the American government in equally vigorous terms. Each time one of these eases arises is it not proof that the gov ornment of the United States is con scientiously observing the rules of neutrality?
 The Germans or the allies may at times find that we are eXacting-that the American government sticks too closely to these rules. The war will not last forever When it is finished, such or such a nation will perhaps be glad that we have maintained the rules against which she protests to- day
 France will avoid the error of be- lieving what individuals of the peo. pies in the conflict often think-that is, that he who is not actively for them, is against them. As to my own sentiments regarding France I ad- dressed a letter to the president of the French republic that expresses them clearly. Be sure that I do not hink anything less than what that 1tter says.
 VqM Alphaud says he asked Presi- Vent Wilson if the contemplated in- Eease in the American army and pvy had any precise object, and that le president replied:

MANY OF THE CREWS PERISH
The British Lost Five Ships During the Past Week by Submarine At
 tscks-srtish Drop Bombs on the Submarine Works Of the Germans.

London, April 1-l0:25 D. m.- While the German submarines con. tinue their activity around the coasts of Great Britain the naval wing of the royal flying squadron keeps up its attacks on the German submarines which are being built at iotoken and on the submarine base at lceblugge.
 The Germans have added two m1re steamers to the long list of merchantmen sunk off Beachy Head 1Le victims this time were the French steamer Emma. which was toTpedoed yesterday. without notice, rneteeu of her c.ew going down with their ship, and the British steamer Seven Seas. sent to the bottom this afternoon without warm ing, eleven of her crew being drowned
 The British losses already report od Tor the week ending March 3l were five steamers, a sixth vessel was torpedoed but reached port During the week however 1.559 yes sels entered and sailed from British ports so except for the deplorable loss of life, the damage was not con sidercd excessive
 On the other hand. the British have no means Of a5ccrtaiuing the nature of the damage done by the bombs dropped al Hobokcu and Zee brugsc, although it Is believed that two Of the und rwater c.aft lying at the Mole of Iccbru2gc were dam aged
 Beyond these attacks the official reports contain little news today and that which they do give relates only to operations of minor importance Mine warfare has been in progress at many points in the west and at other points there have been artil- lery dueIs and occasionally infantrv attacks but nothing that has in any way approached the proportions of d battle.
 in the east the armies stand about as they were The fighting in north. ern Poland has been of a desultory character, both sides apparently aay- ing given up any idea of advancing for the present In central Poland however. the Russians are showIns a certain liyeliness
 The German official reports for the last two days have noted at tempts of the Russian troops to re- sume the offensive in the Rawkl river, while Vienna tonight reports a severe attack by the Russians in the vicinity of the Pilica river. which they claim to nave repulsed.
 These movements doubtless have been undertaken to prevent the Aus trians and Germans from sending re- Inducements from this front 10 strengthen the armies which are trying to hold the Ca.pdthian passes against the onslaught of the Rus. 5ians, who daily report the capture of a large number of prisoners but who apparently are making very slow headway in the operations against Lupkow and Uzsok passes. The Russians also are slowly push ing the Turks back in the Caucasus.
 Belgrade has again been bombarI- ed by Austrian guns, while Austrian airmen have dropped bombs on Get tinje, the Montenegrin capital.
 The operations of the allied war ships in the Dardaneles are suu iu state of abeyance

APPARATUS SHIPPED
 TO RAISE SUBMARINE
HOPE ENTERTAlNED THAT SOME RECORD WILL BE LEFT TO
 TELL OF ACCIDENT.

Washington, April 1.-Bear Ad- miral Moore, in charge of operations to raise the long submerged subma- rine IA from the ocean bed outside Honolulu harbor, cabled to the navy department today that he was pro ceediug with the work. pending the arrival of a special diving apparatus and corps of expert naval divers from New York
 The apparatus was forwarded to San Francisco late today to be shipped to Honolulu on the cruiser Maryland. Rear Admiral Moore's dis patch stated that he "Uould not be able to report any progress for sey- eral days" but thai he was making preparations to lift
 That the divers were entirely con tidont of their ability to work on the ocean bed 300 feet or more below the surface, was indicated tonight in a statement by Secretary Daniels, al though ne said there was consider able risk in diving operations at such de3th.
 The statement concluded:
 'I am determined to do all that is humanly possible in order to ascer- tain the cause of the disaster. in or der to avoid a repettian of this. Un- less the accident was of such ma. ture as to disable the men in the boat almost instantly it is practically cer- tain that some of the personnel would have left records showing what nap pened'
 Secretary Daniels. after confer ence with Chief Naval Constructor Taylor and Rear Admiral Griffin, chief of the bureau of steam en- gineering. issued another statement tonight replying to what he consid- cred uuwarranted criticism as to the condition of the submarines engines and boilers Mir. Daniels ass rted that congress had appropriated all the money to3t the ne ttFlMtHt Adc asked for the upkeep of submarines.
 The most recent reports from the F-4," he said, show that both en- zines were in excellent condition dur ing a 48-hour run. As to the battery, a report of January, 1915, the last on record. states that an overhaul had been completed and that the battery was in good condition. Nothing within the knowledge of the navy department warrants any doubt as to the condition of the engines or bat teries of the Fl"

Diving Tube Tests Prove Satisfactory

Diving Tube Tests Prove Satisfactory
 Honolulu, April 1.-Repeated tests were made today of the diving tube constructed by engineers for the pur- pose of facilitating the work of raia- ing the submarine Fl. which has been lying since a week ago today on the bottom of the ocean just outside the harbor here.
 Two divers eXperimented with the apparatus in the harbor this after noon, going down to considerable depths. It is understood that the tube proved satisfactory and it is eX' pected that the divers will use 1t t- morrow at the spot where the F4 is believed to have been located.
 Lieut. C. E. Smith, commanding the submarine flotilla here, is engaged in assembling the salvaging material available in this port and organizing his forces for deliberate and thorough operations. Work will be begun. it is said, before divers and apparatus ar rive from the mainland
 A movement was begun in Homo lulu today to raise relief fund fol the families of the crew entombed il the submarine, Public memorial ser vices will be held after the bodies a., recovered.
