a FLOCK of sheep once lived In a great

Bheep and all the tiny white lambs went

'"Where did they go?" do you ask.
Oh, nobody knows quite where they
Wnt they Just went away. They were
en no more for many long months, and
that Is all anybody knows.
Then one day when the sun was over
the worst of his sleepiness when he got
up early and stayed up late the sheep
and tb little lamba came back.
Not all t once, uf course; nature never

JAPANESE ADMIRAL'S MESSAGE.
dmlral Dowa, of Japan, who arrived
here last night on his way home from the
I'uHed States, expressed his regret to lo
cal naval oflleers, and sent the following
despatch to Secretary Daniels
"Shocked to learn of ac lilent to sub
marine F-4. Please accept sincere con
dolence for sad accident to your navy.
Earnestly hopo the biavc mm in the ship
will be rescued."
Men and women assembled on the slioro
of Honolulu harbor durltu Inst nluht and
prayed that tho lives of the two olllcers
and 19 sailors In the submarine might bo
spared
Rear Admlial Moore, comiii.imlaiil '
the naval station here, thinks sc me lives
may have been spaied by "one thance in
a million." This chalice Is that smn'l
special oxygenized emergency compait
menti may have saved a few members of
the crew fiom the lnrushlng waters.
Tho depth to which the vessel sank
:s not accepted as the direct cause of the
first American submarine disaster. The
enormous water pressure at 200 feet, It
Is considered probable, crushed In her
sides.
TORPEDO TUBE EXPLOSION
MAY HAVE WRECKED THE F-4
Lieutenant Walters Thinks Floating
Buoy Was Fouled.
An explosion In the torpedo tube while
at practice may have been the cause of
the sinking of tho submarine F-4 off
Honolulu harbor, according to Lieuten
ant Frank Walters, commander of the
submarine G-t, which was brought into
Cramp's shipyard today.
Lieutenant Walters said ho thought the
falluro of the floating buoy to rise to tho
surface when tho F-1 was unablo to conio
-fjep resulted from a fouling of the tackle
which releases It.
' "If the F-l wa at torpedo practice the
accident may have been caused by the
(Rnltion of tho flash In the tube before
the outer door released it," he said. "The
locking device is usually to be counted
upon, but it is my belief that while the
submarine wns submerged and the tor
pedo was placed In the tube the Ignition
occurred when tho locking mechanism of
the outer door was not working. Firing
tho torpedo under these circumstances
would cause an explosion in the tube."
R. D Wcyerbacher, assistant naval
constructor at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard, who was a classmate of Lieutenant
Ede, of the F-4, said today:
"Lieutenant Ede graduated from tho
Class of 1909 at Annapolis. lie was pop
ular among the men and well liked. He
was a native of Reno. Nevada. He wub
always a quiet, studious man."

ZURICH, Switzerland, March 27.
The greatest airship ever built was
turned out this week by tho great Jiep
pelln factory at Friedrlehshafen. It left
Its shed on a trial flight Thursday,
maneuvered satisfactorily several thou
sand feet above tho lake and disap
peared In u northwesterly direction.
The new dreadnought, according to the
villagers around Friedrlehshafen, Is fully
SO per cent, larger than any airship yet
designed by Count Zeppelin. That It was
built for tho oxpresa purpose of Joining
In spring air raids on London and Paris
Is tho report.
Thirty-five Zeppelins have been turned
out at Friedrlehshafen since tho begin

a panic of fear.
"Wo don't care about the cold," said,
a venturesome lamb, "see the wide pas

With a laugh and a flirt of hl snowy

SPAIN DENIES MAKING
PREPARATIONS FOR WAR
Will
Maintain Absolute Neutrality,
Says Premier.
MADRID, March 27 - Reports that
Spain's military and naval preparations
are being undertaken with a view to as
sailing Portugal, or of embarking In the
European war were denied today by
Premier Dato and Marquis dc Lenin,
Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Pio
mler Dato made the following statement:
"The inlllng upon 30,M armed men Is
nothing more than puttlmr into force
the provisions of laws icrently passed.
The men will remain enrolled for three
months for necessary training These
military opcintlons nie not due to dls
agreements with other nations. Abso
lutely wutrnllty will bo maintained by
Spain with the utmost fidelity."
ITALY A WAITING SIGNAL
FROM BULGARIA
rnnttntierl from 1'ukp One
the prey of Russia and her Slavic al
lies. In other qtmitcrs, It Is asserted that
the negotiations have definitely failed, and
that Prince von Buelow has resigned the
rolo of mediator.
This version goes on to relntc that when
the last courier from Vienna arrived he
brought Austria's final terms, which were
of hitch a character that the Ambassador
did not see lit ecn to present them to
tho Italian Government.
The sltuntlon In the Balkans Is that
Bulgaria is expected to Join the Allies
nt any time now. On this account the
Turks are feverishly fortifying the fron
tier as well as Makrlkol, on the Sea of
.Marmora, and Lule Burgas, where there j
Is a considerable concentration of troops. 1
among whom are 300 German officers nnd j
non-commissioned oflleers. Heavv nrtll- 1
lery, which was originally Intended for
tho defense of Constantinople, Is being
mounted on the frontier, whero nn attack
In force is feared preparatory to the
forcing of the Dardanelles.
Italy and Rumania are consequently
preparer! for a simultaneous Invasion of
Austria. The success of theso move
ments depends In a larce measure upon
secrecy nnd rapidity, henco the Italian
Foreign Office Is uncommunicative. This
letlcenco Is, however, useless, Blnco all
plans are well known.
Tho correspondent of tho Sun Is inform
ed In diplomatic circles that the negotia
tions between the Qulrinnl and the Vati
can concerning a modus vlvendl In case
of war have been satisfactorily conclud
ed. Tho Pope, It Is said, has consented
to ask all cnvoyB of belligerent Powers,
Irrespective of whether they aro Italy's
allies or enemies, to leave Rome. Thus
only the Spanish Envoy and tho South
American diplomats con remain accredit
ed to the Holy See during the war They
will bo allowed to communicate with their
Governments In cipher, but other diplo
matic relations will remain In abeyance.
A dispatch from Vienna sayBt
"It has Just been learned that the
German Emperor paid a secret visit to
Emperor Francis Joseph last week to urge
him to cede Trcntlno and Trieste to
Itnly as the price of the latter's neutral
ity. Tho conference wns held at the time
the Kuiser was scml-olllclally reported to
be In consultation with Field Marshal von
Illndeuburg on the eastern front.
"Considerable uneasiness over the result
of tho conference pervades official circles,
although the average Austrian, In spite
of tho Government's work In fortifying
the frontier, takes It for granted that the
Trentlno trlanglo Is ulready ceded. He
has even invented a little speech about
Italy's Intention to mako tourist resorts
of the little towns In this region, where
prosperity will reign.
" 'If wo cede Trieste.' tho Austrlans say,
'wo shall certainly get a piece of Bavaria
and a slice of SlleBla, which we always
coveted. If we lose Trieste wo shall be
paid for It.' "

to carry him through a fit Ing zone to get
