The map shows how the fleets of the Allies are closine; in on Con
stantinople ut both ends. Today the Russians are reported to have
seven warships bombarding the forts of the Bosphorus from the
Black Sea. This narrow strait is 18 miles long. Aviators have also
thrown bombs into Pera, a suburb to the north of tho capital. At
the western end the English and French fleets aro still hammerinp; at
the forts on both sides of the Dardanelles and are throwing shells
across the Gallipoli peninsula from the Gulf of Saros 12 miles
across land. The railroad lines explain the shortage of supplies and
ammunition which the Turks are reported to be experiencing. The
line to Berlin passes through Servia, which, of course, is not per
mitting any supplies to go through its territory. Tho other line
extends to the Greek port of Saloniki, which also is of little avail to
the Turks.

SUNKEN SUBMARINE
DEFINITELY LOCATED
After Three Days Spent on
False Clue, Grappling Hooks

HONOLULU, March 29. A small fleet
of naval tugs, wrecking vessels of private
salvage companies and barges left hero
early today to raise the sunken submarine
F-4. All hope of saving the lives of the
21 men aboard has been abandoned,
Naval experts refused to predict how
long It would take to raise the vessel,
even far enough to recover the bodies.
They said untold engineering obstacles
must be overcome. Some doubted It the
vessel could be hoisted before tomorrow.
The knowledge that the submarine had
been located Just outside the harbor, more
than 300 feet below the surface, after
almost three days spent on a false clue,
spurred the rescue corps to renewed ef
fort. Passage of four days since the F-J
made her death plunge precluded hops
of rescuing any survivors. Parts of tho
submarine's conning tower and super
structure, raised by grappling hooks late
yesterday afternoon, made tt certain that
the vessel was definitely located.
The rescuers were greatly downcast be
cause they had wasted three days on the
obstruction, believed to be the submarine.
