London, Jen. 11.—The British sub- marine L-24, rammmed by the dread- naught Resolution yesterday is lying 30 fathoms deep, about 11 miles south of Portland Bill, according to the lat- est reports from Weymouth. There is nothing #o indicate that her crew of 43 men have not perished. Tt is taken for granted that all the men were below when the boat left Port- land for the maneuvers in which she was to take part, as the weather was too heavy to allow them to remain on deck. Until further investigation has been made it is impossible to tell just how the disaster happened. However, the last report says that the I.-24 rose beneath the dreadnaught and struck the latter's bows, Last night was unusually dark and despite the numerous searchlights brought into play, little could be done until daylight, but the salvage craft | kept busy while special boats equipped with hydrophones tried, although | vainly to catch any sounds that might be made by the imprisoned men. Hope for her crew's safety has not been entirely abandoned, yet most ex- perts think it will be miraculous if the men are rescued. The submarine's |commander, Lieut. Eddis was a man of much experience and there is con- |fidence that he would know what to do in the tragic circumstances. Weeks and Denby Both Oppose Consolidation Washington, Jan. 11,—Opposition to the proposed consolidation of the vy departments under the | departmental reorganization plan was ‘rfllternlnd today by Secretaries Weeks and. Denby, who again ap- | peared before the congressional re- organization committee, The testi- |mony of the secretaries was in part a rebuttal to recommendations placed before the committee of W. F. Wil- loughby, director of the institute for governmental research, who advo- cated the consolidation as a means of promoting greater efficlency. $4.97 CY STRAP PUMPS and Pat Coltskin. d fancy lattice Values $7—$8 3.97 MEN’S BROGUE OXFORDS Scotch Grain Lotus calf—Black or Brovn—Double sole from toe to heel—plain toe and wing tip styles—wonderful shoes for wear up-to-the-minute 497 Value $8.00 Hundreds of Other Bargains at $1 77¢ 97 $2.47 $1.47 THE BEST SHOE VALUES INTHE LTy The Safe 217 Main Street A New Year of Special Values These Cut Prices Represent Big Savings $1.50 Fellow’s Hypophosphites $1.07 50c Hinds Almond Cream ... 33c 40c Fletcher’s Castoria ...... 25c $1.00 Pinkham’s Compound 85¢ 30c Resinol Soap s 18¢ 50c Pebeco Tooth Paste ...... 32¢ $1.00 Wampole’s Ext, C.
