DIVERS SEARCHING
FOR SUNkEN SUB
NO HOPE FOR CREW

Portland, England, Jan. 11.-(By A.
P)-Divers made a number of I'M
successful descents off Portland Bill
this afternoon in an effort to learn
whether an object located in thirty
fathoms OF water is the British sub
marine L-24 which sank yesterday
after a collision with the dreadnaught
Resolution.
There was nothing to give hope
tonight that there would be any sur
vivors among the members of the
submarines crew.
The divers were greatly handi-
capped by huge seas. and made their
descents at great personal risk. They
will continue to search further to-
morrow.
An underwater examinati ton of the
Resolution shows Enthusiastically that
the submarine must have been badly
holed. The bow chain of the battle
ship was cut through and, while the
battleshiD was not seriously damag
ed there are marks showing that
she must have struck the submarine
with force.
The end of the crew is believed to
have been mercifully swift, as the sea
pouring in on the batteries would
have created fumes. asphyxiating the
men almost Immediately.
Members of the Resolutions crew
it was learned today, just before the
accident saw what they supposed
was dummy torpedo just ahead but
what, it is now confirmed, must have
been the submarines periscope.

the time of the confreres, although
nothing official has been Forthcoming
in this respect.
The newspapers are actively dis
cussing the Russian question. The
Samouprava today published an in
terview with NJ. Spalalkovitch, the
Jugoslav minister in Paris, which
ended:

do nothing to save Russia, their duty

that Bulgaria would execute a peace
treaty and try to avaid further trou-
bles that might disturb mere relations
with her neighbors.

improved relations with. Italy has
been much comented on. 1t Is held
