SUBMARINE LOST
IN ATLANTIC Foe
Believed Ks Has Suffered AC-
Cident-LoSeS Touch With
Fleet on the Way to
Key West.

Charleston, S. c., Feb. NO word
had been received up to a. m. today
from the submarine KS, or from the
vessels which are searching for her,
according to navy yard officials. The
KS has been missing since l o'clock
Sunday morning, and has not re-
sponded to wireless calls sent out from
shore stations and naval vessels, lead
ing marine men to believe the boat had
suffered at least an accident to her APP
paratus. A heavy fog hung over the
coast between here and Cape Roman,
40 miles north of here, where the sub
marine was last sighted, making more
difficult the task of the searchers.
The KS, with the XII. K2 and KS.
was en- route for Key West. for ma
neuvers. The other boats and their
tender, the Tallahassee, arrived off
Charleston bar last night and reported
the KS missing.
The monitor, Tallahassee, and the
submarines, XII, and 6. came into
the Charleston harbor at $3.50 o'clock
this morning. They were held outside
all night because of the dense fog.
Officers of the Tallahassee were aC-
credited with the statement that moth
ing had been heard of the KS.
This would indicate that the wire
less apparatus of the Sissing subma =
rine was out of order as the Tallahassee
and the coast guard cutters have used
their wireless extensively in an effort
to find the little vessel.

PROPOSALS

Foreign Minister Sazonoff Says
No Notice of Latest Over
lures Was Taken In
Petrograd.

London. Feb. IA dispatch to tho
Reuters Telegram company from Pet
rograd says:
"Sergius Sazonoff, the Russian min
lister of foreign affairs. today received
deputation of Journalists, to whom
he gave a general review of the Balkan
situation. His most interesting re-
marks concerned Rumania, whose re-
lationS with Russia, he said, remain
perfectly satisfactory and amicable. He
admitted that some time ago the at
titude of Rumania was uncertain, oW-
ing to her fear of hostile acts on the
part of the central powers, but that
he was now convinced Rumania would
not fall into the German trap.
II repeat that the Austro- Germans
persist in their Rumanian campaign,
but it is not producing the effect de-
sired on practical Rumanians," said M.
Sazanoff. He added that the whole
Balkan situation would find it's solution
only after the war had ended"
Speaking of the improved relations
between Russia and Sweden, M. Saxon
off said:
1T is evident that in Sweden, as
elsewhere, there has been a chauvinistio
movement. 1t is possible that Sweden
may feel the need of taking measures
for the defense of her frontiers, but we
can declare categorically that she will
not have to defend them against Russia
and that this side Of her frontiers is
perfectly secure"
Asked for his opinion on the dura-
ton of the war, the minister said he
did not think 1t would last much longer
and that Germany would be the first
to give in for economic reasons.
Nevertheless" he added, 1--WE must
continue to make intense preparation
for the summer campaign"
NJ. SazonOff continued with the dec
laratiOn that the entente allies were
absolutely confident that they would
triumph.
NJ. Sazonofc declared that Germany's
attempts to secure a separate peace
with Russia had recently been re-
newed.

for the allies, it will be observed that

Speeches of Wilson and Manr
and InSiStent Demand of
Voters Is Convincing
Both Parties.
DETAILS STILL OBSCURE
Reception rendered President
In West Breaking Down OPP
position-Strong Bill
Sure to Pass.

Washington. d. c., Feb. Mot only
are President Wilson and the men close
to him pleased with the reception
which was accorded his preparedness
utterances in New York, but the i'm
preston is strong among those who
are active for preparedness here today
that the Wilson speeches plus the re-
cent speech by Republican Leader
Mann in the House have made il GER
tain that strong national defense pro-
gram will be enacted at this session.
while 1t may be true and probably
is true that congress on a test vote at
any time since the session opened
would have backed up a large measure
OF preparedness, there Is no doubt that
the situation, because of the presi-
dents attitude and the Mann speech,
Is becoming more clearly defined.
This view was expressed freely today
in we'll informed quarters.
Details Not Worked Out.
1t cannot be said that the details Of
defense legislation are by any means
settled. They are still involved In
more or less chaos and obscurity. The
conflict of view among the friends Of
defense as to just what is adequate
and what is not adequate, as to just
what is wise and what is not wise, Is
still pronounced. These differences
will have to be threshed out on the
floor of both houses.
Developments thus far are such as
to lead to the belief that the president
will find his remarks for preparedness
in the west we'll received. Those who
are hoping that arguments for defense
will get a frost" out in the prairie
country are likely to be disappointeG-
While the sentiment displayed in Me-
York in support of the presidential ut
terances is not a criterion as to the
sentiment in the west, it is pointed
out here that as wise a politician as
Mann, who halls from Illinois, would
hardly have made his speech had he
in the west for the ideas he voiced.
Oppose All Forms of Graft.
Multitudes of letters are reaching
members of congress on preparedness.
Many of them oppose preparedness en-
tirely but on the other hand the SEN
timent for reasonable preparedness Is
sent out a mass of letters, found that
paredness. A part of the sentiment
seemingly against preparedness Is
found on analysis not to be against
preparedness at all, but against allow
ing certain great interests to make
huge profits out of preparedness.
1t is widely felt in congress today
that while the House and Senate have
been slow in getting down to business
on preparedness, the program OF legis-
lation on this, as we'll as other import
ant problems will be shaped up with
much more rapidity than previous de-
Velopments would indicate.

PARIS IS RA|DED
Twice; "a KILLED
Second Zeppelin Visit Last
Night FruitleSS-Fog En-
abIeS War Bags to
Get Away.

Paris. Feb. 1.-Several bombs were
dropped by the Zeppelin which flew
over the outskirts Of Paris last night,
but they produced no such deadly eff
feet as on the occasion oS the raid of
Saturday night. The official press
bureau gave out the following state
ment this morning:
"A German dirigible set out in the
direction of Paris, where it arrived
soon after 10 p. m. It was bombarded
by our special batteries and attacked
by our aeroplaneS. Before turning
northward, it dropped a number Of
bombs which, according to the news
received so far did no damage"
Representatives Of the Matin who
visited the scene of the raid say that
no damage was done by the bombs.
Three of them fell on a piece Of waste
ground and three others in field. A
police inspector saw the three which
fell in the field. They did not sink in
the soil. They were covered with a
cotton like substance, which burst in
to flame. The inspector characterized
them as incendiary bombs.
Little was seen of the Zeppelin on
account of the weather condition.
"a Killed In First Raid.
It is known that "a persons were
killed and 81 injured in the Zeppelin
raid over Paris Saturday night. Ten
Of the injured were so seriously hurt
that they were sent to hospitals.
An official statement said that the
raid was successful only because Of the
dense fog which shielded the Zeppelin
from sight of the aeroplane pilots who
pursued the craft.
The raid was made by only one craft
and it did it's work and started north
ward in exactly one minute and half
from the time it appeared over the city.
1t is believed the first raid was a recon-
noitering expedition, presaging other
raids.
Demand Retaliation.
Paris newspapers are demanding re-
taliation be taken Immediately.
The machine was pursued by five
aeroplanes, but it is not believed their
fire damaged the big bag which dis
appeared flying at height OF $4,000
feet.
Parisians had been warned half an
hour before by fire engines rushing
through the streets trumpeting the call
known as stand to arms" of the pres
ence of the raider. The electric search
lights went out and police cautioned
pedestrians and househOlders. 1t was
stif early in the night close to 10
o'clock when many persons were in the
streets. the cafes were open and the
moving picture theaters and play
houses were still entertaining their
spectators and audiences. Then in all
parts of the city could be heard the
whir of numerous aeroplane propellers.
people went out on the balconies to
watch for airships.
Some Parisians appeared to believe
the raiders were not likely to come as
they had been turned back previously
But suddenly in one of the northeastern
parts of Paris, there was a great flare
in the sky as the Zeppelin dropped an
illuminant so that it might be seen by
those on the aisship whether they were
over the city. The bomb fell into a
street, crushing through into the sub
way and tearing a hole Is feet in di-
ameter but injuring no one. Quickly
a series Of other detonations occurred.
