THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, MARCH 23, 1915. FLOTILLA OF "F" SUBMARINES AND THEIR MOTHER SHIP. Gripped By Catarrh ! NAVAL RESERVE TO BE ORGANIZED SOON Oregon Called On to Supply Its Quota of Men for New Branch of Service. REQUIREMENTS ARE TOLD Organization to Be Independent of Militia and Composed Only of Men Who Have Had Aetual Experience in N'avy. Oregon has been called on to furnish Its quota of naval reserves, as provided for by recent Congressional enactment, and the naval recruiting offices in this state arc preparing to begin enlisting men for this service. Under terms of the new law. all citizens who have served one or more terms of regular enlistment in the Navy and who have not been out -of the service for more than eight years are i-liKible for this service. Their enlist ment will not interfere with their regular civil occupations. They will be paid small annual stipends in con sideration of keeping the Navy Depart ment informed of their whereabouts so that they may be called on if needed in case of emergency. It is probable, too. that they will have to report once a year for drills aivd for instructions in mended naval regulations. Militln Siot Affeeted. The naval reserves will not inter fere in any way with the regular naval militia in the several states. It will be entirely independent of the militia. It is intended to furnish a second line of defense for the Navy and will be composed strictly of men who have had actual experience. It is estimated tliat more than 50.000 men in -various parts of the country are eligible for tills service. Lieutenant R. B. Smith, U. S. N., in charge of the Navy recruiting station in Portland, yesterday received advice from the department at Washington relating to enlistments for this service. Men w ho have been out of the sei v li e four or more months and less than eight years are entitled to re-enlist-ment, if they are not more than 33 years old. Pay Depends on Service All their former service, whether continuous or not. will count in reck oning the pay they will receive when transferred to the reserve, after one or more future enlistments. It is to this class of men that the bureau desires to extend an oppor tunity to re-enter the regular service and fill, as far as practicable, vacan cies occurring in the future. The naval reserve act is intended not only to create a naval reserve of honor ably discharged, experienced men, but also to increase the efficiency of the regular service by offering substantial Inducements to men already In the Navy to remain in the service. Every man who has served In the Navy and who has not been out of the service for more than eight years will be solicited personally to Join the re serve organization. The recruiting offi cers will send letters to the men of whom the Government has a record. Quarterly Report Required. "There will be organizations of the reserve in every community," says the communication. "They will be required to report at a designated place in their own community once each quarter for muster and inspection and to sign pay roll. Failure to so report will cause forfeiture of pay. "Calling thein into service (active) on board ship for drills and exercises is optional with the department., When so called they will reecive travel and sub sistence and fuil pay of their ratings. "It is the intention, in this regard, to ascertain and suit the convenience of the men as far as practicable as to the time of such active -service, as is done in the case of the naval militia. "Due consideration will be given to the occupation of the man and its re quirement of his services. "If you decide to Join the reserve within four months from date of dis charge, your pay will be J30 per an num, if you have served four years in the Navy or for a minority enlist ment. J60 if you have served eight years, and ?100 if you have served 12 years. "if you serve 16 or 10 years in the Navy you can be virtually retired on onp-third or one-half pay. "If you re-enlist in the Navy, your previous service will count to give you these advantages. -.0 a Muntk Pay Possible. "Men usually get to be chief petty officers before they have IS or 20 years' service, and their pay In the re serve would run from $35 to 00 or more per month. "If you Join the reserve after four months and within eight years from date of discharge your pay will be $12 per annum, and you n ill fret an outfit of uniform when first called into ac tive service. You can. however, increase this pay by serving another enlistment in the Navy and then enlisting in the reserve, within four months from date of expiration of such enlistment. In this connecton, remember that all your previous naval service counts in figur ing out the pay you will receive. "Men in the reserve will be given a distinctive badge or button indicating their membership in the reserve, as well as their honorable service in the Navy. "Wlin called Into active service you will pet the full pay of your rating, as wWl as travel allowance and subsist ence.' While the local recruiting office wants to get in touch with all ex-naval men. it Is not authorized to begin making enlistments in the reserve or ganization. Instructons to that effect axe expected, however, in a few days. F-4 SUPS J0 BOTTOM i""ntimiMl Krom First Pare. which plunged the vessel back into the lips of the submarine crater in w hich it had lodged. Task Exceedingly Difficult. Immediately, however, fresh efforts were begun to secure another grip on the hulk. Owing to the great depth 50 fathoms of the submarine's resting: place and the peculiar for mation of the ocean's floor at that point outside Honolulu's harbor, the task of passing chains under the ves sel is extremely difficult. Divers can not work effectively at that depth and the casting about for a hold is neces sarily more or less haphazard.

LOVG VESSEL IS THE chains will be made fast to the hulk's bow and stern and then it will be comparatively easy for the dredger to bring the submarine to the surface. Rescuers Work Feverishly. The rescuers worked with feverish haste today, cheered by confident pre dictions of officers that life would be found in some of the F-4's crew if the boat could be raised to the surface before night. There were numerous other heart breaking mishaps. Once a cable, r-m.nlnr with the dead weight of the hulk, suddenly sagged, releasing its hniri on the F-4. Later. Just after a chain had been successfully passed un der the vessel, it slipped off the smooth plates. The disappointment of the workers reached Its climax when the hulk, after having been raised the full 50 feet, again shook off the chain and sank. Air Babbles Rise to Surface. Air bubbles rising to the surface to day were taken to indicate that at least one of the F-4's three compart ments had burst. It is believed that the bodies of most of the crew will be found In the for ward compartment, the smallest and strongest of the three. Relatives of the crew residing here refuse to abandon hope and plead with naval officers to hasten the work -of raising the craft. WASHINGTON ABANDONS HOPE Failure to rind Buoy Taken as Evi dence Men Died Instant). WASHINGTON, March 27. At the close of a day which brought no report to the Navy Department from either Rear Admiral Moore, commanding the naval station at Honolulu, or Com mander Smith of the first submarine division of the Pacific fleet, officials had abandoned all hope that any of the officers or crew of submarine F-4 survive. No word had been received since last night, when Admiral Moore reported the vessel submerged in 60 fathoms of water. Some hope was found in an early un official report that ships had discov ered the F-4's marker buoy. It later, however, was disclosed that this was a working buoy and was not attached to the submarine. Failure to discover even tho marker buoy inclined officials to the opinion that all within the ship met an instantaneous death. The theories of the cause of the ac cident generally advanced tonight were that the boat struck a rock or coral formation while submerged or that her shell had been crushed by an impact against the coral ocean bed. SLEUTH'S RIGHTS ASKED AUTHORITY TO QUESTION Pl'PILS AT COW CREEK DOUBTED. School Directors Seek Attorney-General's Oplnon Acts of Portland ! Aiding; Roy Firniim. ROSEBUIIG, Or.. .March 27.

The thing has happened in more than one shipyard. All Belgium United in Crisis. "When the crisis came I had hopes tk.i the nrotection of international treaties would be suf f icient ' to protect Belgium, but in any case there was no question as to what the Belgian people would do. The violation of our terri ited everv faction, and although we were taken by surprise we did our best and offered wnat resistance That is the modest way Kins Albert put it to me, but to his soldiers ne had said: "To conquer Belgium they must first pass over my dead body," and it was literally true. If the Ger man onrush had not spent itself on the vi- nH had swept on into France, Kinc Albert would have died fighting on the last foot of Belgian territory, but he would never have crossed the frontier. It is his conception of his duty and when he has made up his mind as to his duty he does it without hestlatlon, without fear, and without regard to the cost. When he refused the German armies passage' through Belgium, King Al bert knew what the cost would be. Yet it was deliberately and unafraid that be unsheathed the sword, with a ges ture not of defiance, but of defense. Life Often and Kreely Exposed. Since that day he has fought on i n-l.le and nn against overwuem"B vuu, - ---German Prince has ever been so con tinuously under nre or has so often and so freely exposed his life. After the defense or Liege ne toon me with his army and fought back ail the way to Antwerp. He led both the sorties from Antwerp in person, ana fought with the rear guard that covered the retreat of his army to the Yser. There since October 15, he has been with his men all tne time except, wr - . ; Iln.la Tho Ra!-I9T1 a lew days spent, m headquarters are nearur iu u line than those of either of the other allies. When King AtDert movea mem from Furnes it was to anomer piauo equally exposed. The Belgian army holds as large an extent of advanced trenches lu proportion to its numbers, as its allies, and no Belgian General has spent as many hours in, the trenches as King Albert. For him it is only his duty, only part of the work of being King. When the Queen entered a meek protest against her husband's taking their son with him to the front he is only a lad of 14 Kins Albert gently explained to her "I have hira with me to teach him how serious a thing it Is to be King." Son Trained In Kingship. He is not only giving his son lessons in kingship, but even more so in citizen, ship for truly he Is a citizen King. I had 'said something about the love his people bear him and he took up the subject. "You see." he said, "my people know me and I know them. I have had ad vantages that few men in my station can ever enjoy. I have traveled freely and mixed with all men and I know how people live and think. When I was in Seattle and all along the Pa cific Coast I lived just like any other citizen, and in my own country I have seen for myself and been able to com pare the manner of living in our In dustrial and producing centers. I know what it is to drive an engine and to work in a coal mine. Only those who work can be really happy. I also have my work, and few people realize what hard work it is to be a King." His duty and his work! Those are the things King Albert always has be fore him. He saved Europe from Prus sian domination and but for his stand Paris would have fallen; he would at any moment lay down his life for his people, and yet such Is his modesty that he looks upon everything that he has done as part of his daily work. Instance of Mndesty Related. - An instance of how far his modesty carries him was given me by Kmile Vandervelde. the Minister of State, who told me that when the French arrived to support the Belgians, who had been holding the Germans in check on the Yser for a week all alone, a difference of opinion arose between the French and Belgian generals as to the best location of a certain line of defenses, and a person close to King Albert ap pealed to him as It was his country and bis wishes would of course be fol lowed. He merely answered: "If I did not happen to be the King. I should only be a major In the Belgian army and I d j not wish to interfere with the plans of the Generals." King Albert is as simple and demo cratic as he is modest and brave. The first time I had an audience with him we talked for an hour and a quarter and he asked mo all kinds of questions about the United States. He told me how deeply grateful he was to . the American people who were feeding the starving inhabitants in the territory occupied by the Germans, -and a few days later he handed me a message of thanks to the American people, which he had written out with his own hand. It is to his stay in the United States that King Albert owes his intensely democratic ideas, and he has the ut most confidence that the sympathy and moral support of the. people of the United States will be with Belgium to tho end. until her soil is freed from the Invader, her ruined cities rebuilt and peace and prosperity restored to her." Constitutional Liberty. Defended. His one programme was epitomized in a phrase he often used: "We must ever continue to be the firm defenders of constitutional liberty, and the faith ful guardians of our Independence." He had brought together the conservative Flemings and the liberal Walloons, he had purged and made clean the Congo, at home he had encouraged artistic de velopment and commercial prosperity. He was vitalizing his Colonial Empire and building a merchant marine. He inaugurated reforms in his army which he tried to make strong enough for the defense of his country, althousn he, like all his people, placed his reliance in the international treaties whereby Belgium's neutrality and Independence were solemnly and forever guaranteed by Germay and the other powers. And all this had been swept away in a day. Never was greater responsibility thrust upon a ruler, never was crisis more gallantly met. When he raised his standard and appealed to his peo ple thjy flocked to his support. He had been merely a monarch, then he stood forth as a King. He hurled his tiny army against the greatest war ma chine ever created, and for a few pre cious days they held all the legions of the Kaiser in check. Civilization has nad all the advantages of their hero Ism, Belgium has borne all the burden. But in what is left of their motherland, King and people fight together for law and liberty, for in very truth as Maet erlinck has said "the soul of Belgium has taken refuge In the spacious soul of its heroic King." DISCRETION IS RELIED ON Commerce Officials Expect Little Difficulty Enforcing Seamen's Act.

It was pointed out that, while section 14, which pr6vides fo:- life-saving apparatus requirements, might become effective July 1, as the bill specifically provides, yet it was within the Secretary's power to remit fines under it when It was shown shipowners had made every attempt to comply, but had failed because equip ment was not available.
