The Lost Submarine.

The United States subma
rine S-4, rising off the Massa
chusetts coast on Saturday af
ternoon, was instantly ram
med and sunk by the destroy
er Paulding No. 17. The short
length of periscope bringing
submarine dangerously near
the surface before making a
' survey of surface conditions
1 possibly may be one explana
tion. Carelessness in periscope
use might be another.
In any case our submarine
service necessarily dangerous
in war, seems to be unneces
sarily dangerous in peace.
Could not a submarine in
peace time send to the surface
before rising a . harmless de
tonation bomb to explode and
spread a warning cloud of
smoke at the surface just
ahead of the submarine's .ap
pearance? Lindbergh saw two ' Mexi
can bull fights on Sunday. A
- savage bull is chosen, of a race
bred fo fighting. It is tor
mented with numerous small
wounds until infuriated " and
then killed by a skillful butch"
er who is the nation's hero in
Mexico and Spain. '
Horses are disemboweled,
an occasional man killed. Wo
men1 look on and sigh for the
great bull killer. So it has gone
since the small waisted bull
fighters of Crete escaped be
tween the bull's horns.
Bull killers and spectators
believe when their bull fight
days are over they are taken
up to a heaven in which they
associate, through eternity, on
intimate terms with the Ruler
of the Universe. They must
have a poor opinion of His
taste.

The . International Canary
Roller association are holding

Birds were singing and whist

What taught birds to sing)
How does evolution account
for it? It was not part of the
survival of the fittest, for a
singing bird must attract the
attention of its enemies. Be
fore they had ever heard mu
sic, the females could not
know enough to insist on a mu
sical mate.'
Be that as it may, teach your
children singing and playing.
Include some musical instru
ments in your Christmas gift
collection. First corne the mu
sic machines that delight all
the family. But do not forget
this statement by Henry Ford,
who plays the fiddle : "Every
child should be taught to play
some instrument for himself,
and not live and die a mere
listener."
Schwab, wise man, says he
would not change anything, not
even one minute in his past
life. He wants to live twenty
years more and he will to
see wonderful changes coming.

charge of salvage operations on
the sunken submarine S-4 an
nounced late today that the wreck
had been lost, because a line at
tached, to It was torn away in the
recent gale.
Two divers who were lowered
today failed to find the vessel tip
to 4:16 o'clock.
Two motor sailers .grappled for
the mlKaing submarine alt day
without success. Diving operations
were being continued late today.
At 1 p. m. diver William Wick
wlrf submerged empty-handed
with orders to find tho S-4.
Commander Edward Ellsberg
was at the telephone. The diver
remained down for 63 minutes, nnd
told Commander EllHberg that it

four feet. He covered fifty feet
but did not see the wreck.
At 3:20 James Ingram, tho first
diver to reach the S-51 two years
ago went down. He was still under
water at 5:15.
The missing line was attached
to the submarine last Sunday af
ternoon by Diver Carr. When the
mine sweeper Falcon left for Bos
ton early Monday the line was
transferred to n buoy. Commander
Ellsberg said the line probably
snapped at the point whero It was
attached to the submarine by the
heavy seas of Monday and Tues
day. BOSTON", Dec. 21. No signs of
life were found in the torpedo
room of the submarine S-4 by
James Ingram, the first diver to go
down today, Rear Admiral Prank
H. Brumby reported in a radio mes
sage to Rear Admiral Philip An
drews, commandant of the first
naval district.
PROVINCETOWN, Mass., Dec.
21. The naval vessels which are
endeavoring to salvage the sunken
submarine S-4 were preparing to
day to resume operations suspend
ed two days - ago because of- a
northwest gale. At 10 o'clock the
mine sweeper Falcon, flagship of
the salvage fleet, was making fast
staying lines over the position of
the wreck.
No Hounds from the torpedo
room of the S-4 in which six men
are imprisoned, had been heard
since six o'clock last night when
seven faint taps were detected by
the oscillator of the submarine
S-8, sister ship of the S-4. Although
the S-8 signaled at hourly inter
vals throughout the night no an
swer came back from below.
Just before 10 o'clock this morn
ing the S-8 pulled up anchor and
left from the spot where she had
been endeavoring to communicate
with the S-4. The Falcon came and
took anchorage and the S-S wig
wagged for permission to charge
her batteries. This was given from
the Falcon. .
The S-8 had been under orders
to remain In position as long as
there was any hope of communi
cating with her sister ship. Her
action In moving away was Inter
preted as meaning that there was
no longer possibility that life re
mained in the S-4 and that no
more signals might be looked for.
Two other submarines, the S-5
and the S-3, were at anchor in the
inner harbor, a mile . and a half
from the scene of the disaster.
When the Associated Press boat
pulled ftloncs.de of the Falcon,
Diver Tom Eadle wigwagged that
an attempt would be made to send
a diver over as soon as the Fal
con was lined up with the subma
rine tender Bashnell and the mine
sweeper Lark. The mine sweeper
Mallard, which had token pfrt In
previous operations, was not In the
line.
Eadle, who was the first diver
