United States Submarine Not Heard from Since Sunday Morning When it Left Char lestown Probably Sighted.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-A Navy Department dispatch from Charlston said the steamer Garfield sighted what appeared to be the submarine K-5 off the coast of Florida. The submarine has been missing since Sunday morn ing Department officials said if the submarine was progressing it's natural course for Key West the position would have been virtually that report ed in the dispatch.
 The message strengthened officials here in the belief that the K-5 is un- harmed despite the failure of all ef- forts to locate her since she disappear ed in a fog off Charlston. The Depart ment's efforts to clear all doubt regard ing the submarine continued. though officials were firm in the opinion that the vessels failure 10 respond to wire less inquiries was due entirely to the short range of her wireless.

LIVERPOOL. Jan. 31.-The twenty. two market inspectors employed by the Liverpool municipality have saved their dignity. inasmuch as the City Council has passes by a large majori- ty a bill for the purchase of twenty two silk hats for them.
 When the bill came up. Councilman Kelly tried to kill it with ridicule IL was silly. he said. to see a man in a shinny. tall hat. Juggling about the carcass of a pig or sheep or side of beef. Clergymen and lawyers. were giving up top hats in favor of more informal headsear. the use of them was disappearing in the middle and upper classes and police inspectors wore caps with dignity and artistic effect. so why. asked the councilman. should whitecoated market inspector have to be provided with a tile at the expense of the city. especially in war time.

LONDON, Jan. 31- After having driven the Turks from region about forty miles in length in Asiatic Turkey to the west of Lake Van and put them
 in retreat down the Mush Valley. The Russians seemingly have ceased oper- ations in this particular vicinity for the winter. A large number of prison CTS were taken by the Russians dur ing the drive. also heavy guns. ma chine guns and other war material. The Italians and Austrians aFeyengag- ed in a fierce artillery duel along the Isonzo River front.
 The Russian official communication confirms the previous statement thar the Turks had been driven into their Notifications at Erzerum. There has been little fighting on the other fronts except by artillery. The German posi- tions at Steenstreete. to the south of Rove and to the north of St Mihiel, have core under the guns of the Allies on the western line. Considerable damage has been done.
 The last French communication does not mention the fighting in the vicinity of Neuville or south of Somme, where positions were recently captured by the Germans. Berlin reports say the positions were held against repeated attacks.
 From the northeast of Riga to the middle Stripa there has been a consid- erahle bombardment by the Germans of various Russian towns and posi- tions Petrograd reports the surround ing bv Russians of an Austrian detach- mont in the middle Stripa and the an initiation of most of the Austrians the remainder being captured.

Five Counts Alleging Statu- tory Ofense Returned
 Against Clergyman of Chi co, Cal. by IS Year Old Girl.
PARENTS REPUDIATE
 CHARGE OF DAUGHTER
Minister Alleges Conspiracy As Revenge for His Activ- ity in Temperance Cam paign. Girl Held.

OROVlLLE. Calif., Jan. 31.-Madi- son Slaughter of Chico, a minister. was indicted by the county grand jury of five separate counts each alleging a statutory offense against Gertrude Lamson, aged fifteen, whose parents are members of Slaughters congrega- tion. The indictments were returned despite the testimony of the girls parents that their daughters charges were untrue. A bench warrant for the arrest of the minister was re- turned immediately after the indict- ments returned.
 Early in the day the district attor- ney was taken to task by the court for removing the girl from the custody of her parents without the usual pro cess of law. The district attorney re- piled that he thought immediate ac- ton was necessary because he feared an attempt would b.s ;nede oinfluence her testimony. The court restored the girl to her parents but a charge of delinquency was lodged against her by the district attorney. She has been held in the county detention home. Slaughter said the case was the re- suit of conspiracy against him be- cause his activity in the. temperance campaign. Lamson and his wife said it was at their request that the min ister interested himself in the girl that she might have the benefit of his helpful influence.
