One DAY AHEAD
Of SCHEDULE
Brings PontoonS for Raising
F-4-AlI in Readiness for
Final Salvage Work

The cruiser Maryland, CARRYING the
six steel pontoons that are to be used
in raising the sunken submarine F-4.
docked at the quarantine wharf this
afternoon at 1880 O'clock. The Mary
land is a day ahead of schedule
time, the original announcement be-
ing that the cruiser would be here
Friday morning.
All preliminary work toward the re-
sumption of salvage operations on the
F-4 has been done, and Naval Con-
structor Furer and Capt. Crittenden.
of the submarine f1otilla are ready to
get down to the actual operations as
soon as the necessary gear is taken
of the cruiser. This afternoon the
big l50-ton floating crane that has
been in the harbor ever since the F-4
went down last March, will be taken
alongside the Maryland, and the big
pontoons and marker buoys will be
lifted out of the cruiser.
'If good weather prevails we will
be ready to get right to work as soon
as the gear is on the spot said Capt
Crittenden this morning. I'VE have
done everything possible at this end
of the line to get ready for the com.
ing of the pontoons, and the work
should run along smoothly
None of the officers connected with
the salvage operations will hazard a
guess as to the probable amount OF
time required to raise the FL. Every.
thing depends on the weather and the
condition of the harbor where the F-4
lies near the reef.
The Maryland has practically the
same commissioned personnel as when
she left here a couple of months ago,
Capt Sumner E. W. Kittelle is still
in command, with Lieut.. Comdr Da
vid Boyd as executive.

BREAK RECORDS
For n0uAIING
HEAVY ORDINANCE
Tenth Company Has Done Fine
Work With New 14-inch
Rifle at De Russy

Breaking all Coast Artillery records
for the moving and mounting OF big
guns, the new 14-inch rife for Fort
De Russy was placed on the trunnions
of the carriage at 1880 o'clock this
morning, just eleven and one-half
days from the time it was landed on
the De Russy beach from the barge on
which 1t was tOwed over the reef.
When, two years ago, the first IA
inch gun was mounted at De Russy,
a record of three weeks In the ham
ding vas achieved, and brought spe-
cial commendation from the depart
ment. The new gun, besides being
longer and about six tons heavier than
the one mounted two years ago, was
handled in nine days less time, though
the distance each had to be moved
from the place of landing was prac-
tically identical
The new rife is 48 feet long and
weighs trifie less than so tons. 1t
was moved from the beach to the bat
terry in a wooden cradle, placed on
rollers on a track of massive timbers.
and dragged by crew OF 20 men OF
the 10th company. The moving OF the
huge piece of artillery was accom-
plished without even minor accident
to any of the men engaged, though the
work was twice set back, once by the
breaking of the jacks with which 1t
was being raised. and prior to that by
the necessity of turning the gun over,
it having been placed on the barge
wrong side up.
The carriage has been waiting for
the big rifle for more than a year. The
gun was proof fired at Sandy Hook,
but proof firing to test the carriage will
be done here, probably within the next
two months

mania an area larger than West VIZ

Americans, il their views on world
matters are to be sane in this time OF
wars, must remember that the things
put before them in print, even when
as fair in tone as possible, must in
evitably be colored. And when FOR
eign sources are biased. the result
sheds darkness rather than light.
Mr.. II. G.. Wells. for instance, when
he writes for Americans, does not tell
the truth. He tells things which a
British writer would like TO have ac-
cepted as truth by Americans. He
becomes an intellectual pickpocket,
fumbling for our views on the war
Here is what he says in recent
magazine article:
THE kaiser now keeps out OF the
limelght for fear OF aerial bombs;
the crown prince, having confused his
strategy and stolen snuff-boXes has
passed into a mysterious obscurity.'
Does Mr.. Wells King George get
into the llmelight? Does he take any
precautions against aerial bombs? The
kaiser would be a fool not TO avoid
bombs II possible And the suggestion
that he Is a coward, or that the crown
prince is a thief or in obscurity is an
astounding one, coming from a man
OF Wells standing Cowardice and
theft are no more in the blood OF Ger
many than in that OF Britain.
/ "The once invincible massed infan-
try" Mr.. Wells continues, has fallen
in swathes at Liege and Mons and a
score OF fights; II has choked Belgian
rivers until the waters have found new
courses It's prestige has melted to
nothing before the steady fire OF Eng
lish mercenaries in open order; In
Flanders II has fed before Hindu
bayonets and screamed at the sight OF
brown faces; the German cavalry has
been ridden through by British, one

German, booted and spurred has de-
parted out OF the world"

wars. Never In such history as | re-
