SERIOUS WEAKNESS IF f"
 SUBMARINES POINTED OUT

the loss of the submarine as the boat at the time of her loss was being pro- pelled by electric motors and storage batteries
 The electric motors were in good condition, having been repaired by the ships force assisted by the navy yard force at the United States naval station Pearl Harbor territory of Hawaii.
 "The storage batteries were in good condition within the Limitations of their design.
 Storage batteries are always in a. state of being more or less electrically grounded due to eIectrOlyte or by the capillary action of electrOIyte or mois ture, poor insulation, or bau electrical contact, these } said grounds" have been noted t6 be of such intensity at times as to cause flames and the fus- ing-of electrical connections.
 This condition was well known to the officers and men of this subma rine torpedo boat division and due care was exercised in atuempting to reduce the danger to q minimum.
 The storage batteries during charg- luS- GNOlNeU t&-eSSINe QudHlllltS OI ny drogen gas and further during the early ctages of discharging, quantities of hydrogen gas are evolved and the fumes of hydrogen and of acid became noticeable in the interior of the boat on long dives.
 "On the F-4, March s. 1915, while one electrical ventiIator blower was stopped for a short period for minor repairs, probably from a ground in the venti- latirg blowers electrical circuit, hy- drogen explosion took place, which damaged the battery deck and broke several separators and cells of the storage batteries.
 Conditions under which the explo- sion of hydrogen is always possible, obtain on all the boats of the F class.
 The covering over the storage bat teries or the battery deck, in accord ance with specifications are to be prac- tically gas tight and water tight, which condition does not obtain as the so- called battery deck permits water to seep into the batteries.
 Sea water at timesgseeped into the cells of the storage batteries of boats of tn r closs. causing the evolution of chlorine gas which is quickly destruc- tive to life.'

STRATHY WORKS
 IN LUNCH AND LANDS THIEVES
Fortified Only with Badge No. 13, Policeman Uses His Head and Clears Up Mystery of Several House Burglaries.

Policeman Strathy says he doesn't carry a rabbits foot but he does carry, instead. badge No. 13. which perhaps is better than bunny's hind leg. It may have been intui- tion, good luck or the influence of the mystic number on his star, that caused Strathy to devote half an hour yesterday afternoon to watching a Mexican sitting in a ditch on the Mcdowell road an act that after wards proved the first step in the arrest of three young MeXicans who have since been directly connected with at least two robberies pretty closely allied with third and it is expected will be shown to have been he principals in two or three other recent burglaries. From the dis covery of some of the spells of their jobs" it is believed that evidence will be secured that will clear up the mystery surrounding most. if not all, of the recent house burglaries in the Capitol addition.
 Ralph Selinas was probably acting as a lookout for Jesus Lopez, when Policeman Strathy bowled along the Mcdowell road and saw him sitting in the ditch in front of the home of Charles Prescott an employe at Me Kee's Cash Store. This was late in the afternoon and Strathy was in hurry. but something told him it would be a good thing to watch the Mexican. Nothing came of the vigil that ensued for the next half hour and Strathy departed.
 Half an hour later Strathy, at the Ford hotel corner. observed the same Mexican he had been watching, step from a Wentworth car He was ac- companied by another Mexican who carried a bag. Taking up the trail of the two. Strathy observed them cross the court house plaza. Night Captain of Police John J. McGrath happened along and joined Strathy in his work The two Mexicans finally entered a pool room at Third and Washington streets. Through q crack in the fence at the rear the of ficers saw Lopez hide the bag he had been carrying. They then went across the street. One of the officers fol- lowed the Mexicans while the other proceeded to investigate in the yard at the rear of the pool room. A bag was found and in it a pearl handled.

WASHINGTON Aug. 31-The ser ious weaknesses common to all four of the navy's F" type submarine are pointed out in report made public by the board of inquiry which made an investigation at Honolulu immediately after the loss of the F-4 with a crew of twenty-two last March. As far as it could be determined before the boat was raised the board found that every possible precaution had been taken within the limitations of the design and the report pays a high tribute to the efficiency of the men who lost their lives
 Acting Secretary Roosevelt said to- night that if Rear Admiral Bousch de- sired. the cruiser Maryland sUout ready to sail from Honolulu would he held a few days to bring the bodies of the victims to the United States.
 With the F-4 now in the dry dock at Honolulu. new board headed by Rear Admiral Bousch has been appointed by the navy department to ascertain if possible. the cause Of the disaster. Al though the first board reported it could draw no conclusion as to the cause, the possibility that the crew might have been killed by chlorine gas was indi- cateG in finding that sea water at times seeped into the cells of the stor- age batteries of boats of the F class causing an evolution of chlorine gas, which is quickly destructive to life"
 In connection with the following points of the finding of the board, it is pointed out that each defective con dition reported as to the F-4 obtained in all boats of that class
 'The structure of the hull of the submarine topedo boat F-4 was regu- larIv inspected and it's condition as to repair and upkeep was excellent, only the most minor corrosion having taken place.
 The structure of the hull had not suffered loss of strength by the cor rosion of the hull plating.
 The propelling engines Ghe diesel oil type four cycle) have inherent faults and are difficult to keep in re- pair, but have been kept in as high q state of efficiency as is practicable within the limitations of said design.

BERLIN, Aug 31-The German admiralty advanced the suggestion that the submarine which may have torpedoed the Arabic was possibly foundered or was sunk by the Bri- tish. One official said that most of the submarines on the west coast of England at the time the Arabic was sunk, have returned and none so far knows anything about the Arabic.
 A high official in the admiralty in declaring there is absolutely no news on the sinking of the Arabic yet available. said:
 Would it not be lamentable if the submarine should have been lost and we should never learn what happen ed? Soon after the Arabic sank l said we should in all probability have details by the end of August or early in September at the latest

Von Buelow Is Still Fight ing for Brid@ehead South of Friedrich, While Both mer Is Halted on the Stripa River.
ITALIANS ARE

Own Reports Say Progress, While Naturally Slow on Account of Country to Be Traversed. Is, Neverthe- less, Continuous.

LONDON, Aug. 31.-The Russians have thus far prevented the Ger mans and Austrians from carrying into effect their efforts to force back the two extreme wings of the armies of the Grand Duke Nicholas The northern extremity of that DOT ton of General Von IIindenburs's army commanded by General von Buelow is still fighting for the lridgehead south of Friedrich, while the Teuton forces unuer General Eothmer who broke through the Russian lines on either side of Brazszany and Galicia, have been checked at some points on the Stripa river
 The Italians are more active, and tonight report the capture of an Austrian position southeast of Trent and some Austrian trenches at Car so on the road t6 Triest.
 According to Italian accounts the italian progress while naturally slow on account of the nture of the coun- try to be traversed is continuous. Of the fighting along the Russian front between the two extreme wings the Germans claim they are making headway at several points, But some who got through the forest in the region east of Bialystoh have suf- fered a reversal at the hands of the Russian rear guards. The points of the most interest, however, are at the two wings.
 The Germans are near Friedrich staGt, well cast If Riga and mill tary experts here say that unless the Russians can dispose of this con siderable force, so as to threaten the Teutoric flank it appears improb able that Friedrichstadt can be held much longer without grave danger. 4 threat against the other wing would not be serious as it is more distant and the difficulties of the country are too great for rapid ad- vance.
 Tn the western theatre the French continue their artillery attacks on the German line and concentration points without yet any any evidence of a general offensive Except for the Turkish official reports already pub lished there was no news of the fighting on Saturday and Sunday on the Gallipoli peninsula. It is understood that Balkan negotiations are moving more quickly. The Bull garian minister had a long confer ence with Sir Edward Grey, British minister of foreign affarsi, after which the ambassadors of the en- tente powers and the Serbian minis ter called on the foreign minister.
