The battleship Alabama, one of the "eold-storage" fleet, was ordered yes terday to go Into commission and pro ceed at once to Hampton Roads for the purpose of "preserving the neutrality of the port." The Alabama may sail tomorrow and should be at her des tination tomorrow night. She will pre vent any attack from being made upon the Prinz Eitel Friedrich by British cruisers so long as the German ship is within the three-mile limit of the United States. In addition, she will forbid the de parture of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich im mediately after a. belligerent merchant whip. There must be a 24-hour interval between the departure of British and French merchantmen and that of the German. Declaioa by Germany Preferred. There is a belief in naval circles that the German government is endeavor ing to force the United States to intern the Prinz Eitel Friedrich. The authori ties here would prefer .that Germany order this done, so as to avoid any additional criticism of this Government by the German people. That the vessel will be interned Is believed to be certain. Cruising outside of American waters are several power ful British cruisers each of which in a single-handed fight could sink the Ger man ship. KHAKI GOLD IS WAR FAD London Jewelry for Men Keflects Militarism. LONDON, March 10 (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Khaki gold is one of the fashions created in Jew elry by the war., The gold is oxydized Into a greenish yellow, and is popular in the form of safety pins for men's soft collars. Other novelties now seen in the Bond-street shops are a return to .the old-fashioned gold rings wltn a receptacle for a minute photograph or a lock of hair. These rings are greatlyln demand among officers at the front, of whom a large number wear lockets around the neck containing keepsakes from wives and sweethearts. The lockets are worn inside the coat, however. F-4 IS LOCATED AGAIN (Continued From Firrt Page.) ' He said he had seen no trace of the F-4. The relief workers, who had toiled without sleep and almost without pausing to eat since Thursday were visibly downcast by the news. Another chain was attached to something: 90 feet below the surface. A diver named Evans at once de scended along this chain to investi gate. He returned soon with the statement that it was merely caught on the bed of the ocean. Lieutenant Charles E. Smith, com mander of the submarine division sta tioned here, who has been in constant personal charge of the search since the F-4 disappeared, gave orders to resume dragging the bottom of the sea. The positive statement was made , here today by Naval Constructor Julius A. Furer that the four sub marines of the Hawaiian division -were examined as to their stability only a month aeo. He said that all were found in ttood condition. The water is so deep at the point where the F-4 is said to have disap peared that Navy officers asserted to day without Jiving appparatus which would permit men to go down 300 feet, the task of locating the craft and lift ing it, if it is found, will present great mechanical difficulties. Th- population of Honolulu has been deeply affected by the tragedy Just be yond the harbor's gates and the battle of the rescue party against time and the physical difficulties which attend their labors has been followed with sympathetic interest by those on shore. Business was half neglected and all social functions were canceled at the end of last week. A big Sunday crowd was assembled on the waterfront early today. Every scrap of reliable information from the little cluster of vessels out at sea was passed from group to group, while speculation and rumor new wild lv about the city, keeping alive the hope3 of those-most vitally Interested in the fate of the two officers and 10 men of the F-4's crew.- When it became definitely known on shore that there was no more definite information as to the missing vessel's whereabouts than when the search be gan three days before, it is as though a heavy cloud had passed before the bright tropical sun, Although com paratively few relatives of the M- MifHrnnHnA rrw live here, a sense of gloom pervades every quarter of Honolulu, it is a l)mpin,uc n"n than a morbid crowd that swarms the docks or murmurs before the bulletin ' boards, - Bw-ESSSSSSSSSSSSsSS TOP.
