Will direct most excursionists and vacationists
to the Pacific Coast during 1915. Many Of US
are not in position to take an extended trip
every year, and it should therefore be to our in
terests and advantage to make the most OF a
general coast tour when low rates are available
and conditions favorable At these times, low
circle tour rates are in effect which permit of 60
ing via one route and returning via another at
very much lower expense than if separate trips
were made.

TORPEDO TUBE EXPLOSION
MAY HAVE WRECKED THE FL
Lieutenant Walters Thinks Floating
Buoy Was Fouled.

An explosion in the torpedo tube while
at practice may have been the cause of
the sinking of the submarine F-4 off
Honolulu harbor, according to Lieuten-
ant Frank Walters. commander of the
submarine Ga, which was brought into
Cramps shipyard today.
Lieutenant Walters said he thought the
failure of the floating buoy to rise to the
surface when the F-4 was unable to come
ep resulted from fouling of the tackle
which releases it.
- IF the F-4 was at torpedo practice the
accident may have been caused by the
ignition of the flash in the tube before
the outer door released It," he said. "The
locking device is usually to be counted
upon, but it is my belief that while the
submarine was submerged and the tor
pedo was placed in the tube the ignition
occurred when the locking mechanism of
the outer door was not working. Firing
the torpedo under these circumstances
would cause an explosion in the tube"
r. ID, Weyerbacher. assistant naval
constructor at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard. who was a classmate of Lieutenant
EIDE, of the F-4, said today:
Lieutenant EIDE graduated from the
Class of 1909 at Annapolis. He was pop
ular among the men and we'll liked He
was native of Reno Nevada. He was
always a quiet. studious man"

lies.
In other quarters, II is asserted that
the negotiations have definitely failed. and
that Prince Won Buelow has resigned the
role of mediator.
This version goes on to relate that when
the last courier from Vienna arrived he
brought Austria's final terms, which were
of such a character that the Ambassador
did not see fit even to present them to
the Italian Government.
The situation in the Balkans Is that
Bulgaria is expected to join the Allies
at any time now. On this account the
Turks are feverishly fortifying the from
tier as we'll as Makrikoi, on the Sea OF
Iarmora. and Lule BurEas, where there
is considerable concentration of troops,
among whom are 800 German officers and
non-commissioned officers. Heavy artl-
lery, which was originally intended for
the defense of Constantinople, is being
mounted on the frontier, where an attack
in force is feared preparatory to the
forcing of the Dardanelles.
Italy and Rumania are consequently
prepared for a simultaneous invasion of
Austria. The success of these move
ments depends in large measure upon
secrecy and rapidity, hence the italian
Foreign Office Is uncommunicative. This
reticence Is, however, useless, since all
plans are well known.

to ask all envoys of belligerent Powers,
irrespective of whether they are Italy's
allies or enemies, to leave Rome. Thus
only the Spanish Envoy and the South
American diplomats can remain accredit-
ed TO the Holy See during the war. They
will be allowed TO communicate with their
Governments in cipher, but other diplo-
matte relations will remain in allegiance.
A dispatch from Vienna says:
1T has just been learned that the
German Emperor paid a secret visit to
Emperor Francis Joseph last week to urge
him to cede Trentino and Trieste to
Italy as the price of the latter's neutral
ity. The conference was held at the time
the Kaiser was semi officially reported to
be in consultation with Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg on the eastern front.
Considerable uneasiness over the result
of the conference pervades official circles,
although the average Austrian, in spite
os the Governments work in fortifying
the frontier takes 1t for granted that the
Trentino triangle is already ceded. He
has even invented a little speech about
Italy's intention TO make tourist resorts
of the little towns in this region, where
prosperity will reign.

we shall certainly get piece of Bavaria

RUSSIAN FORAYS REPULSED

Fresh Offensive Halted in Fighting at
Laugszargen.
BERLIN, March q.

Russians who had started from Taurog-

were repulsed near Laugzargen, today's
War Office report states. They suffered
heavy losses and were driven beyond
Jediorupa, behind the Jura River
Several Russian advances were repulsed
between the Augustowo forts.
The War Office admits that the Russian
advance on Memel had a certain connec-
tion with a general renewed offensive on
the part of the Russians, with the object
OF again threatening East Pr ssa. The
offensive against Memel was closely fol-
lowed by advances from Tauroggen
toward Tilsit, past Mariampol and finally
toward Augustowo
