Effort to raise the sunken submarine F-4 in Honolulu harbor were temporarily Mispfndpd tod-ay after a hawser, with wliirli the boat being dragged to ward hore. snapped. Uear-Admiral Moore reported from Honolulu late today that the subma rine evidently was waterlogged and too heavy to be raised by the equipment employed by the searching fleet.

Admiral Moore's report follows: "Lieutenant C. E. Smith. command Ins first suDmarine division of the Pa rifle torpedo flotilla, has located the K-4 and moved her a slight distance inshore. Uftins; howser parted. Sub marine evidently water-logged. Equip ment too light to raise her. Making arrangements to lift her by pontoon method.

Secretary Daniels said tonight that the Department would raise the F-4 at any cost to determine the cause of her accident, in order to guard against similar disasters In the future. He em phatically denied reports of dissatis faction over the work being done by the naval authorities at Honolulu. Equipment May Be Sent. "Nothing could be further from the truth." he said. "The Department is convinced that everything possible is being done with the means at hand. Honolulu being an isolated station, is not nearly as well equipped for salvage purposes as are some of the naval sta tions on the mainland, but there is every indication that the officers and men at Honolulu are indefarlgably working night and day with every means in their power to raise the sunken submarine and rescue their shipmates. "Should Admiral Moore, the com mandant of the station, and Lieutenant Smith, the commander of the sub marine division, fail to raise the sub marine through lack of necessary ap pliances, it is the Department's inten tion to send out the necessary salvage equipment, including deep-sea diving apparatus, as well as expert deep sea divers to accomplish the purpose. "It would, of course, be Impossible to get such equipment to Honolulu In time to save the lives of the crew." POSTAGE RATE REDUCED Barbadoes and leeward Islands En ter Into 2-Cent Compact.

But first think back. Recall the death of Mr. Dodgre. Then came that masterly "Twilight Sleep" with Elaine forced to do things against her will. Then there was the "Freezing Safe" exploded by evaporating liquid air. Remember the start it gave you? Then came "The Poisoned Room" and "The ; Vampire," when Elaine's blood was used to save her enemy. Then, the "Double Trap," and the thrilling fight on the steeple. And now come3 the "White Circle."
