wASHINGro~. Aug. 3l.-The bodies uf
several members Of the crew Of the
United States submarine FL. which
sank in Honolulu harbor on March rs.
have been located in the wrcckage, ac-
cordlng to despatch received at the
Navy Department this evening from
Rear Admiral Boush, in charge of the
board Of naval officers examining the
hulk of the submarine. The despatch,
sent at 1880 o'clock this morning.
Honolulu time. and received here at
6 :%S =. NJ, Washington time, reads:
debris being removed from interior
of FL Several bodies located, but not
yet identified"
Earlier the Admiral advised the De-
partment that the submarine. had been
placed In dry dock and that "A hole had
been found in the hull.
That the twenty-five officers and men
comprising the crew of the F-4 and
making M the death total Of the ac-
cident. started on their last cruise fully
aware that their vessel might never
make port again, was plainly indicated
in report Of the naval board which
made the preliminary investigation Of
the accident This report was made
public to-day.
Not only were the members of the
crew entirely alive to serious defects in
the batteries OF the submarine, but ac-
cording To the report 1t is "A widely
known fact in the service that all tn~ee
Of the remaining boats of the + class
possess the same defects to an equal or
less extent.
The submarines in this class were the
FL, F-2. F-3 and F-4. They were
completed in 1911. and with the ev-
ception of the "A all are still in active

Gas Formed From batteries.


When being charged or discharged,
the report says, the storage batteries Of
the F-i evolved excessive quantities Of
hydrogen gas, the fumes of the gas and
acid becoming noticeable when the boat
was submerged for any length of time.
In less degree, il ~ asserted, this condi-
tion too obtains with all the boats Of
this class.
Reference Is made to a hydrogen ex-
ploson which occurred on the same
boat while undergoing repairs just three
weeks prior to her loss, and such ex-
plosions it is stated, might occur at any
time on any of the + boats
Despite specifications which required
the covering over the batteries to be
watertight, sea water Had been known

boats. IN" report adds, and such seep-
age Immediately would cause the gener-
alton Of deadly chlorine gases. In this
connection attention Is called in the re-
port To- such an accident on the FL,
when large quantities of this gas were
generated, owing to the fact that the
submarln" was moored TO the dock at
the time, with the hatches open, no
fatalities or inJuri, 10 her crew resulted.
The steering gear Of the F-i, it was

the report shows that on the whole the

Engines Also Had Faults.

In addition to having faulty bat
teries the report shows that the F-iL
propslli, 6 engines possessed Inherent
faults and were difficult TO keep in re-
pair and that the ability of the officers
and crew 10 regulate the depth to which
the submarine could sink depended more
on the skill of those in charge than on
the accuracy Of the mechanical appli-
ances. While it IL said that the en-
gtnes of the FL were kept in AZ high
state of efficiency as practicable
within the limitatiOrs % the design and
while the officers and crew OF the boa
were found by the board TO have been
efficient. attention Is called to the fact
7hat all boats of the l. class have
these same shortcomings.
No attempt was made in the prelmi-
nary investigation 10 determine the ac-
tual cause OF the accident-this decision
resting with the preselt board that is
examining the wreck itsef--but the
greater part OF the report deals with
the batteries, the board holdiug II i'm
probable that the unsatisfactory condi-
lion OF the prOpelling engines had any
bearing on the accident.
Although II IS set forth that the stor-
age batteries were in as good condi
tion as could be expected In view OF
their defects the report says that they
were dlwavs In "A state of being more
or less electrically grounded due to
the leakage u! electrolyte or by capil-
larry action os the electrolyte or moist
ure and poor Insulation or bad electri-
cal cor tact, and that these said
grounds have been noted to be of suffi-
Client intensity AT times to cause flame
and the fus.rg of electrical connections. ="
This condition, the report adds, OBJ
tains with all the submarines OF this
class.

ARMY WORM AGAIN.
Of the Pest Reported in
Some Parts of the State.

The army worm has again made it's
appearance in various parts of Con-
necticut, and the state board of agri-
culture makes suggestions as to the
best means of checking and destroying
the dreaded pest. The following, is
sued by Secretary Healey Of the state
board, will be of value to every farmer
whose fields may be invaded by the
worms:
The crops most likely to be attacked
by the army worm are oats and nillet.

are taken to eradicate the worm. AS
soon as first seen, the oats or millet
should be cut and kept stirred up as
much as possible. AS soon as they are
fit to go to the barn or stack, shake
them well and remove. Then prepare
a mixture of bran, paris green in the
proportion of rs pounds of bran to /
pound Of paris green, mixing thorough
ly, using enough nolasses and water
to make 1t mashey. Sow this broadcast
over the field infested. A second ap-
phcation may be necessary. Il there
or some other crop likely to be attract
ed it should be protected by blowing a
furrow around 1t, going back and forth
with the pillow five or six times in the
same furrow both ways. This tends to
make the ditch deep and more abrupt
with the dirt finely pulverized, making
it harder for the worms to get a foot
hold in crawling ever 1t. 1t is some
times necessary to make two or three
bitches about 10 feet apart. When
they are prepared, the bottom Of the
ditch or bitches should be strewn with
the mixture of bran and paris green.

SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION
Theme Of First Sermon at ST. Patricks
Church by Rev. Francis J. kuster.

Preaching his first sermon at the
high mass in st. Patrick's church Sun
day, Rev. Francis ]. Kuster explained
the obligations of all Catholics who
have received the sacrament of con-
f1rmation to live worthy of it, This is
the sacrament which gives strength
and grace to profess ones faith and to
practice it in ones daily living.
The cross signed with chrism upon
the forehead of each by the bishop in
giving confirmation confers, the
preacher said, the inestimable priv
ilege of being a member of the Roman
Catholic church. Incidentally, he
spoke Of the three classes of Catho-
lies, good, nominal and bad, the last
akin to Judas of old, the enemies
within the walls, fighting against those
who defend the fort, infinitely worse
than can be any enemy without His
hearers were exhorted to live worthily
in the first class. by the avoidance of
sin and the Reorganization Of the sacra-
ments, ever mindful of the symbolism
of the cross with which their foreheads
were annointed during the reception of
confirmation.
At the offertory the Bach-Gounod
Ave Maria was sung by Miss Isabel
Petroni.

BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets Are
Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets - the
substitute for calomel - are mild
but sure laxative, and their effect on
the liver is almost instantaneous.
They are the result of DR.. Edwards
determination not to treat liver and
bowel complaints with calomel. His
efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or calomel:
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums
So do strong liquids.
1t Is best not to take calomel, but to
let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take
it's place.
Most headaches, dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and a disordered liver. Take DR.. Ed
wards Olive Tablets when you feel
"loggy" and heavy" Note how they

| "perk up" the spirits. At 10c and 25c
