Honolulu, Hawaii. The American
submarine F-4 was lost off Honolulu
harbor. Heroic efforts wore made to
raise the stricken craft, but after hav
ing been submerged for more than
thirty hours it was regarded as doubt
ful whether any of her crew of twenty-one
men remained alive.
To lift the little vessel to the sur
face, It was fbund necessary to send
to the Pearl Harbor naval station for
a derrick and crane. This . involved
much loss of time and it was thought
the fate of the crew might not be de
termined until daylight.
Rescue vessels dragging the ocean
bed with grappling hooks chanced
upon the stricken craft at a depth of
300 feet. Making fast to the F-4, the

Brownsville, Texas.-- Failing in their
attempt to dislodge tin Carranza gar
risou by rifle and machine gun lire,
Villa forces besieging Malumoras vir
tually ceased their aUarks, awaiting,
it was announced, the arrival of ar
tillery. In the event of an artillery duel.
Brownsville, directly across the Kio
Grande from Matumoros, would be en
dangered, and one of the gravest of
border crises is fi-ared. The likeli
hood of shells falling in Brownsville
was demonstrated by the rifle bullets
which dropped here during the first
Villa as-ault on Matamoros trenches,
a costly failure of Villa forces, in
which tlyeir lasses were officially giv
n isJ' -Killed and 400 wounded.
This attack was a head-strong dash
of 2,000 mounted riflemen.
The Carranza losses were ten killed
and forty-five wounded. Two persons

alakaala Began td tow their find
they were not certain that it was the
submarine they had hooked toward
shallow water. Quantities of oil came
to the surface, proof that it really was
the lost vessel. Soon afterward a sub
marine marker buoy, discovered far
below the water, removed all doubt
that the F-4 had been found.
For more than an hour the tug and
the steamer struggled with their un
wieldy burden. Soon afterwards it
became apparent .that it would be Im
possible to tow the submarine near
enough to shore to bring her to the
surface and a hurry call was sent to
the naval station for a wrecking ship.
Naval authorities admitted they had
given up hope for the F-4's crew;
however, resuscitating apparatus had
been despatched to the scene and ev
ery effort will be made to develop
any spark of life that may remain.
The general opinion is that the ves
sel's plates were sprung through the
Immense pressure of the water at a
depth of 50 fathoms and that the two
officers and nineteen enlisted men
aboard have perished. Vessels in the
vicinity equipped with submarine sig
nal apparatus continued to send out
signals, but no answers came.
were struck by bullets in Brownsville.
Neither was seriously injured.
The coming Villa artillery must be
powerful, enough to cope with nine
li-inch field pieces of the defenders,
none of which was fired. In addition,
the Carranza troops are said to have
four 3 1-2-Inch guns.
Concealed machine guns won several
brilliant successes for the Carranza
forces in the opening fight. A troop of
50 Villa cavalry, circling five miles
south of Brownsville, approached un
wittingly at a town named Uositas, a
machine gun trench hidden by brush.
They were trotting past this trench
when the machine guns opened lire.
Nearly the entire Villa dead were said
to have fallen at this point, while al
most to a man the others were wound
ed. This incident explains why so
many of the Villa wounded who were
brought here were hit in the left side.
If some men had their lives to live
again they probably wouldn't leave so
many dollars for their heirs to scrap
over.

harbor it is announced.
Portions of the superstructure have

the submarine.
The submarine was located after
search of three days had resulted only
in unfulfilled hopes.
Divers, who went down the two
cables thought to have been attached
to the submarine, found the heavy
body was an old anchor, probably lost
by the battleship Oregon.

For Peace
London. The size of the garrison
of Przemysl and the number of men
who surrendered to the Russians
greatly exceed all estimates. Accord
ing to Petrograd dispatches the gar
rison originally consisted of 170,000
men, of whom 40,000 were killed. Near
ly 120,000 surrendered when the fort,
ress capitulated.
A blizzard, which has interfered
with the telegraphic service, prevents
details of the surrender from coming
through, but Lemberg reports that for
seven days prior to the fall of the
fortress the people of the town had
nothing to eat and the Russians, who
took in large supplies of provisions,
were welcomed as liberators.
Dispatches from Lemberg also say
that 15,000 persons were found suffer
ing from typhus or cholera and that
the work of disinfecting the place is
being undertaken energetically. The
interior forts, it is said, were found
I intact, with a good deal of ammuni
tion in mem.
To Begin Drive On Cracow
Everywhere in Europe, both in bel
ligerent and neutral countries, the
greatest credit is given the Austrians
for their long and stubborn resistance,
which has delayed and interfered with
the Russian campaign in other direc
tions. Now that the Russians, whose num
bers, like those of tha Austrians, must
have been greater than estimated, no
longer are compelled to invest this
fortress, a big movement either against
Cracow or in the Carpathians doubt
less will be started. With their north
ern lines protected by the morass into
which the greater part of Poland is
converted during the spring months,
the Russians are expected to throw
all their strength against the Austri
ans and attempt finally to crush them.
One British military critic stakes
his reputation on the prophecy that
Cracow will fall within a month and
that when it does, or before, Austria
will endeavor to conclude a separate
peace.

Bad Track Caused Wreck
Derailment of a Southern railway
train next Tuxedo, N. C, on August
12, 1914, which resulted in the death
of the fireman and injuries to nine
passengers, was attributed primarily
to track conditions, in a report issued
by the interstate commerce commis
sion, Big Amount Breadstuffs Shipped
Breadstuffs Worth $357,091,823 were
shipped abroad during the eight
months ending February 2S, compar
ed with $115,216,SS1 for the same pe
riod of the preceding year. The great
est increase was in wheat exports,
which rose from $67,654,608 a year
ago to $229,205,142. For last month
alone the beradstuff export totaled
$62,875,959, compared with $8,772,255
in February, 1914, and the wheat ex
port increased from $3,893,895 to $3S,
399,993. These statistics do not show
the destination of shipments, but the

SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Of Mrs. Chappell, of Five Yean'
Standing. Relieved by Cardui.
Mt. Airy, N. C Mrs. Sarah M. Char
pell of this town, says: "I suffered foi
live years with womanly troubles, als
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the wo
man's tonic, and 1 decided to try it. I
had not taken but about six bottles until
1 was almost cured. It did me more
pood than all the other medicines 1 had
tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and i told them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it."
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache.
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so. let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial, we feel confident it will help you,
lust as it has a million other women in
he past half century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. You
won't regret it. All druggists.

Christian Endeaver Progress.
In planning for summer vacations
or visits back home, try to include
the International and World's Union
convention to be held in Chicago, 7-12;
and if you wish' also to go to San
Francisco there is the splendidly con
ducted special train of Illinois En
deavorers from , Chicago after our
convention closes. ' State President
D. B. Curry is transportation mana
ger for Florida and we expect to have
enough delegates for a car to meet
others en route; all together forming
a full train of Endeavorers before
Chicago is reached. - There will be
reduced railroad rates.
We read much of Clean-up weeks,
and such necessary and healthful and
beautifying civic plans, and sometimes
wonder what the endeavorers are uo
ing. ' The last society organized, in
Grove Park, North-Central district,
is planning street cleaning bees, and
a special form of good work is this
way, trimming the live oaks, which
adorn this town like so many others
in our state. Once when traveling
through Nebraska in time of drouth
we saw often little flower plo.s near
the depots, a contrasting vivid green
compared with the barren, sun-burnt
scenes around; and' we thought, if
people in Florida had more to contend
with in making things beautiful, per
haps they would try to do it harder.
In this part of the middle-west just
mentioned even the trees have to be
planted, and here it seems tiresome
often even caring for those nature
erives so eenerouslv. or with small ef
fort on our part to protect through
winter or dry spells.
Hawthorne Presbyterians repoit
their new society doing well, and so
is another late organization of North
Central, the Junior work in Lake But
ler Christian church. At Pal ma Sola,
a Junior society started this Endeav
or year, their superintendent. Mrs.
Allison, reports excellent work done,
the Junior topic books from Bosto.i
being used with good results. Palni.i
Sola also has a grown-up so'.vi-ty,
making a bright, new spot in Sntil'.i
Western district growth for the year
ending April 1st.
Miss Anna J. Gunn of Stuart, will
attend the Jacksonville conve'i'Jvi
there representing the far-the -rest-down
district, South-Knstern. We
hope the district presidents hat .ng
fewer miles to come will follow her
example in attendance.
State Treasurer George C'avanagh
and his brother Earl, president of
South-Western district, hope to get
to Jacksonville. They also se !.l a
delegate from the United Brethren
society of Tampa in whkh the Ca-
vanagh brothers are a.'tiv-! workers.
Do not forget the date, April Iti-lS.
Programs will soon be out and if you
want one write D. B. Currv, box
Jacksonville. Our Stat; President,
Mr. Curry, is very busy these days,
and his room-mate. District President
I io Pettyjohn, making his typewriter
have a C. E. record for such gocd
work.
Next Sunday's topic is "Conquer

Years ago your press superintendent
read, "Discouragement is from the
devil." It stuck in her memory ami
has helped over many rough places.
