Tito Honolula harbor bottom has rook formations with tall sharp peaks ami tlocp narrow pockets. The foar is that tho. F-4 may havo fallen Into ono of the latter. Naval officers sahl tho only o)>orntlon necessary to send the marker buoy to tho surface to give searchers the exact location of tho submerged vessel was to turn a wheel. Some of the suluuariuo exi>erts hero thought the l?'d may havo struck a rock and- the waters may have rushed in before the crew could release the marker. Others thought there was an explosion and that the presence of oil on the water might lio one indication of that. Several years ago one of the earlier t y | h> of submarines was submerged off Newport it.

We have just read in an English pa - per two brief narratives which disclose those deeps of human brotherhood that He far below the storms of war's fierce passions. The first illustrates well the truth we have called attention to more' than once, that the soldiers of the warr ing nations are settling no quarrel of their own. j Only a few feet separated the oppos ing trenches of the English and the Germans. Hostilities had ceased. An j Englishman, with a camera in his hand, ventured to call across the narrow space, "Any of you want your lectures taken?" Five Germans appeared above the trenches, dnd with smiling faces were photographed. Those men, cher ishing no> gradge each for the other. knew that when the order came they must shoot across that intervening space t<> kill. -=i ? The other incident seems to us like 1, rarely beautiful flower blossoming in t deadly marsh. An English soldier, a mccesKfnl charge .bavins been made, stopped beside a wounded German. "Can I do anything to relieve you?" he isked. Both could speak English. "I done for," said the German soldier. 'I am near the end." Won't you stay here by me and hold my hand till It's iver?"

His companion undrensed there, and the wat^r was balled from the boat. Hamilton then paddled vig orously against the current and drifter' to a position beside Kneece. He and bis companion held Jhe boat by grasp Inn branched and vines, and Kneece grasped the gunwhale and rolled over the side. The bow dipped, and consid erable water was shipped, but the bot tom of the boat struck a limb and was prevented from sinking farther. Ham ilton paddled strenuously and reached quiet water and then the bank at a point 500 feet downstream from where he had gotten Kneece. "Andrew M.

In ,?rder to find out he frnmed "n i deal with his v".? m?"' pretended to die. The undertaker was taken Into the secret and he laid the body out in a coffin and opened the lid in order that neighbors might take a farewell look at the late lamented. Scores came to sit in the parlor an'1 talk in low tones about the deceased Seme talked in low tnne^ about poll tics and the crop prospect. Meanwhile the "dead" man listened with both ears. A thin, hatchet-faced old maid who loved gossip as a hog loves the other kind of slop, and whft had for years peddled slander about the man who lay in the coffin, wiped away an imag inary, tear and simpered to the wife: "I can symimthize with you In this sad hour, dear sister. The dear de parted was such a sweet man and so tint! and so good. I know youfr bur den is heavy." And a hard-looking customer with ristling, close-cropped grey hair ? a man who hnd fought and cussed and hated the chap in the coffin for almost half a century, cleared his throat and -nmbled ? Yes, Indeed. We shall all miss him. He was very dear to me, uid I appreciate your feelings." Then the preacher placed his finger tips together and looked at the ceiling. The preacher had often referred to the coffin's occupant as a "poor lost soul" and a "black sheep." He believed and almost hoped that the departed was In hades, but It was his business to com fort, and he said : "Sister, there la One who cares for his soul. Let not 5'our heac tJ>e troubled, .far^your hm* - if^Spir" - Th??'*TO?Ffnan in the coffin- kicked off theiidand sat up with a Iotjd-anort. "I don't talnt^ being dead," said he, "and I'll go to hell if I have to, but I won't lie here and listen to a pack of hypocrltea holding a lying contest" The moral, of course, is that telling ?_'(><>d lies about the dead la no more commendable than telling mean ilea about the living? nand al?o, as you have heard/ all is not gold that gathers no m<>S8.-?
