AMERICAN SUBMARINE LOST
The F-4 Fails to Come to Surface After
Dive in Harbor at Homo
iulu-CreW Perish.

Honolulu, March 27.-The American
submarine "a, lost since yesterday
morning off Honolulu harbor, was To-
Gated this afternoon. Heroic efforts
were being made tonight to raise the
stricken craft, but after having been
Submerged for more than thirty hours
it was regarded as highly doubtful
whether any of her crew of twenty
one men. remained alive.
To lift the little vessel to the sur
face it was found necessary to send
to the Pearl Harbor naval station for
. derrick and crane. This involved
much loss of time and 1t was thought
probable that the fate of the crew
might not be determined until day
light.
Rescue vessels dragging the ocean
bed with graphing hooks CHANGED
upon the stricken craft at depth OF
300 feet. Making fast to the F-4, the
naval tug Navajo and the steamer
Makaala began to tow their find-they
were not certain that it was the SUBJ
marine they had hooked-toward shall
low water. Quantities of oil came to
the surface, proof that it really was
the lost vessel. Soon afterward, sub.
marine marker buoy. deserted far be.

The F-4 had been found
Just when the marker buoy had
been released by the disabled boat

If then-were still alive.

Movement Starts in Clay Coun.
ty to Connect the Towns
With Liberty.
4 BIG BOND ISSUE PROPOSED
The Idea 10 to Raise 5000 or More
Would Have 20 Years to
Pay Debt.

An agitation for system of rOck
roads in Clay county has been started
in the last week. and if the roads are
built practically every town in Clay
county would be connected with Liber
ty, the county seat. The movement
has had its beginning among large
land owners and the idea is to build
the roads by bond issue of one-half
million dollars or more by the county.
w. e. Campbell of North Kansas
City and j. G. Wright of Smithville,
two of the leaders for permanent road
improvement, have figured that the tax
for about one hundred miles of rock
road would be only about four mills on
the dollar of assessed valuation, the
tax on land being only about five cents
an acre each year for twenty years,
1t is stated.
Clay county property has an assess
ed valuation OF close to fourteen mil.
lion dollars. 1t is believed the people
of the towns would be willing to help
bear the expense in order to see the
county have good roads.
Routes suggested for the roads are
from Liberty to North Kansas City.
and to Excelsior Springs and Missouri
City. also to Kearney and Holt and
Nashua and Smithville. with a north
and south road over the present inter.
state trail from Smithville through
Gashland and Linden to North Kansas
City. 1t is realized the question will
have. to be thoroughly discussed and
the benefits Of the improved system of |
roads made plain to get the bonds |
voted. Meetings are to be held to dis
cuss the question

The Aguila had crew of forty-two
and three passengers. OF these TWEEN.
ty-three of the crew and all the pas
sengers were lost.
In both cases, on sighting the, sub
marine, the captain tried to escape by
putting on all speed possible, but the
underwater craft overlook the steam
ers, showing that Germany now has
some of her most modern submarines
engaged in the blockade operations
against England.
The captain of the Falaba. who was
one of those lost, was. given five min
utes to get his passengers and crew
into the boats, but, according to the
before this was possible, a |
torpedo was fired, striking the engine |
room and causing a terrible explosion.
Many persons were killed, and the
steamer sank in ten minutes.
Trawlers which happened to be In
the vicinity rescued most of those who
we're saved, others got away in the
