(Correspondence of the1 Associated Press.)
WARSAW. March city of War
saw, which is nVarer to tha actual flght
htg'ten than any other city of its slse
in Europe, and which . sas lived for
months under the continued menace of
German otcupatloa, wears the - astonish

for whom the fortunes of war have but a
casual' interest. This is the capital of tas
country whone sons, almost equally
divided, are fighting halt on the Russian
and half on the Austro-German s'de.
Warsaw is within thirty miles of that
fierce, persistent and apparently untiring
German offensive, against which a large
part of the entire Russian army has been
massed, and Is subject to all'' the Ills
which follow in the wake of battle, such
as dearth of provisions and fuel, conges
tion and disease. The best farms and es
tates of Poland have been turned into
vast burial grounds. Its people are home
less and starving, and every day seems
to darken the prospect of that regenera
tion of the Pollen people into an inde
pendent nation. ' which la the dream of
every Pole, whether he is a Russian, a
German or an Austrian subject. From

Over 100,000 refugees, who have thrown
themselves, upon the mercy of the vari
ous committees of Polish relief In War
saw, have brought into the city flvs
known cases. of cholera. The cases have
been promptly Isolated and all who have
been subjected to the contagion have been
deported into the country. Warsaw 'is at

since the supply from southern Poland

Britain Proposes to
Sell Cargo of the
Ship Wilhelmina
LONDON. March 26.-The solicitor of
th treasury todav sent a letter to the
attorneys of the American stenmer Wil
helmina, saving that because of com
plaints concerning cMay In the hearing
of the case of this vessel before a prize
court, application would be made to the

steamer and sell such part of it as was
deteriorating
ucn action as is proposea Dy uie so
licitor will be opposed, before the prls
court by the attorneys for the Wilhelmina
for the reason that the W. T. Green Coin
mission company of St. Louis has kept
the cargo on the ship for a period of six
weeks at an expense of $42,000 that It
might be ready for Immediate shipment
to Germany In the event of a favorable
decision by the court.
A. .G: Hayes, attorney for the Wilhel
mina, discussing the solicitor's letter to
day said:
"This looks as If the British government
had decided to sell the cargo of the Wil
helmina and settle the case without de
ciding the Rtibotaiulal questions at Ixsue."
WASHINGTON, March 26.-Chjles A.
Towne, counsel for the owners of the
American steamer Wilhelmina protested
today to the Ptate lepurtment against
what he characterized as unnecessary
and unwarrantable detention of the food
cargo which he declared was In danger
of Iops.
Mr. Tqwne alleged that the British
agreement to treat the case with special j
consideration natl been violated and In
stead of. the allowance . of a reasonable
profit upon-the venture It was now pro
posed that the cargo should be sold on
the dock -for whatever it would bring.
Mn .Towne later called at the British
embassy to endeavor to enlist the- assist
ance of the ambassador' In securing the
advancement of the legal proceedings.

The search for the United States sub
marine K-4, which was submerged in
the harbor yesterday morning and
failed to appear, continues without
definite result.
It was reported that early this
morning a grappling cable caught on
some object, which aroured a hope
that the- submarine had been found.
Some experts express the belief that
the men in the F-4 cannot be alive
now.

HONOLULU, T. 11., March! 26.--Wlreless
messages early today from
vessels searching for the missing
submarine F-4, which wa submerged
at 9:15 a. m. today and which has
not yet reappeared, btate-that the
work Is progressing, but that there is
nothing definite to report. HThe fate
of the twenty-six men aboard the
submarine ia still a matter of conjec
ture and grave apprehension.
The shore off which the F-4 is be
lieved to be lying on the ocean bed
is steep and shelves to a precipitous
drop. If the submarine lies lu
thirty-five fathoms of water It is be
yond the reach of divers and, it is
feared, will only work deeper to the
dropplng-off point.

electrician, of Macedonia, Mo., who was
on shore leave. Is the only member of the
crew known to havo escaped.
Other submarines stationed here are
engaged In searching the ocean bed for
the missing F-4, while the naval - tug
Navajoo and other vesels are grappling
for, the submarine. Shortly after mid
night the Navajo and the tug Intrepid
reported their lines fast at a depth of
thirty-five fathoms to what was l lleved
to be submarine F-4. Other vessels of
the submarine fleet immediately went to
the spot to investigate.
The flotilla of submarines statlonerl
here was engaged In target practice eaily
yesterday near this harbor entrance when
the F-4 was submerged. The three other
divers of the F-4 tvpe noted the dlsu

AUSTRIA AND ITALY
UNABLETO AGREE
German Ambassador Abandons Ef
fort to Arrange for Cession of .
Territory to Latter.
LATEST PROPOSAL WITHHELD
ROMK, MRrch 2. (Via Paris.)
Efforts of Prince Von Buelow, the
German ambassador, to bring about
an agreement between tile Italian
and Austrian government regarding
the cesRlon of territory have defin
itely failed, according to the Agenila
National, which says It Is Informed
that when the last courier from
Vienna brought to the ambassador
Austria's final terms they were of
such a nature that he did not con
sider It worth while to submit them
to the foreign offloe here. It is re
ported that Prince Von Buelow has
resigned the role of mediator.
Italy friendly with Kaaland.
Commenting upon replies received from
distinguished Englishmen regarding their
views upon Anglo-Italian friendship, the
Uiornule -d'llalia declares the cordial re
lations -between Great Britain and Italy,
while based in part upon sentiment, are
founded chiefly upon political considera
tions. The paper aays that sines Italy
1m essentially a seafaring nation. It can
not ignore the special maritime position
or KtiglHiid, and it adds: .
"Kngland In its turn, having so many
Interests In the Mediterranean, has felt
snd we hope' continues to feel the con
venience of not having ss a hostile power
a nation so distinctly Mediterranean as
Italy." . , 1
The, Uiornnle d'italla recalls .that for
many yeara Italy's traditional friendship
with Kngland existed jointly with the
former's alliance with Germany and Aus
tria. Then difficulties srose to prevent
remaining In the triple alliance and still
'preserving cordial relations with . Great
Britain. This, the paper asserts, .was
ond of the chief reasons why Italy main
tained Its neutrality jn the war.
