particularly OF the Gulf of Riga, could
undertake the risks attaching to OPP
Grating against Petrograd this autumn.
Moreover, on the whole front from the

that work on large orders probably
would be held up several weeks.

towns, particularly in Maynard, were
heavy losers because of shattered win
dows.

would take several weeks to install
new machinery, and until this was
done work would be at a standstill.

vestiaation to Learn Cause of Dis
aster Last March.

Honolulu, T. H., Aug. 31.-The Unit
ed States submarine F-4, submerged
outside the harbor here since March
25 last, has been relocated and towed
to the quarantine station at Honolulu.
Although the F-4 has been brought
into the harbor, the wreck is still SUBJ
merged to depth of six feet and prob
ably will not be dry locked for several
days. Nothing has been divulged by
the naval officials regarding conditions
if known, inside the vessel.
The actual raising operation occu-
pied two hours, the plans of the en-
gineers working without hitch. The
still submerged derelict was towed
slowly into the harbor, where all the
shipping, including the interned Ger
man gunboat Geier, half masted their
flags.
When the submarine has been dry
locked. board composed of Rear AID
miral Clifford J. Boush, commandant
Of the naval station; Lieutenant Kirby

marine F-4, commanded by Lieutenant
Albert L. Eide, and with a crew of 81
men, went to the bottom off the harbor
of Honolulu March %, 1915, during
maneuvers of the "F'' squadron. She
was located two days later and Diver
John Agrase 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 failed and on March 80 Rear
Admiral G. r. T. Moore, commanding
the Honolulu naval station, reported
that the F-4 lay in 270 feet of water,
and would have to be raised by pom
toons.
At the time of the accident, reports
gained circulation that the F-4 was
not in good shape when she went be-

Il have just seen the report In the
Newspapers Of the speech made by ex-
President Roosevelt at the Plattsburg
camp. 1t is difficult to conceive of
anything which could have more Diet
rimental effect upon the real value Of
this experiment than such an incident.
This camp, held under government
auspices, was successfully demonstrate
ing many things of great moment. Its
virtue consisted in the fact that it
conveyed it's own impressive lessons In
it's practical and successful operation
and results.
mo opportunity should have been
furnished to any one to present to the
men any matter excepting that which
was essential to the necessary training
they were there 10 receive. Anything
else could only have the effect Of dis
tracing attention from the real nature
of the experiment, diverting considera-
ton to issues which excite controversy,
antagonism and i'll feeling and thereby
impairing, if not destroying, what 9th
erwise would have been SO effective.

GOVERNMENT CUTS COST
 OF RADIUM PRODUCTION.
Secretary Lane Urges the Conservation
 of Ore Deposits.

Secretary Lane announced that the production of radium from Colorado carnotite ores by the bureau of mines of the department of the interior, in connection with the National Radium institute, has passed the experimental stage in it's new process and is on a successful manufacturing basis. He also declared that the statements made to congress concerning the ability of the bureau of mines to produce radium at a greatly decreased cost over other processes had actually been verified and that the cost was even less than predicted. Secretary Lane said:
 The cost of one gram of radium metal produced in the form of bromide during March, April and May of the present year was $3G050 am inform ed by Dr. Charles l.. Parsons, in charge of the radium investigations of the bu- reau. This includes the cost of ore, in surance, repairs, amortization allow ance for plant and equipment, cost of bureau of mines salaries and all ex- penseS incident to the production of high grade rddium bromide. When you consider that radium has been selling for $120,O00 and $16O,OOO a gram. you will see just what the bureau of mines has accomplished along these lines.
 "The cost of producing radium in the small experimental plant during the first few months of the bureaus activi- ties was somewhat higher, but not enough seriously the final av- G. --s. ''
