The bulk of the submarine F-4, lost In Honolulu harbor March 25, with Its crew of twenty-two men, and raised and placed In dry-dock yesterday, to-, .day lies exposed to view, the work of pumping out the dry-dock and raising the shattered and torn submarine j from the waters of the harbor having ' been completed through the night. But the era ft has not yet yielded up it secret. No trace of the bodies of the unfortunate crew has been discovered, nor has the . brief examination thue far made thrown any light on the cauae of j the accident' that caused the diver to Ink and fall to come up again.

The correspondent at Sofia of the Vosslscha Zeltung telegraphed today an outline of the proposals made to Bul ! Srle on both aides of the diplomatic contest. His dispatch says. "The conditions which tha quadruple entente Imposed on Bulgaria in return for territorial concessions In Macedonia stip ulated that Bulgaria obligate Itself to de clare war on Turkey. 'The central powers and Turkey, for their part, demanded fiom Bulgaria In return for cession of a portion of Turkish Threes, an extension of the hitherto ex isting benevolent neutrality. What this consists of bsd best be kept silent for the moment. It will make Itself apparent later ss soon as events on the Danube front hava advanced far enough." The British employed 100,000 men In their attscks on the Galllpoll peninsula last Saturday and Sunday, according to a dispatch from Constantinople to the Frankfurter Zeltung, and their losses were extremely heavy. The correspon dent estimated that since August S the British losses have beon in excess of 50,000. ' According to ths correspondent, the killed among tha British troops In ths .fighting of August 8 and August 39 In 'eluded about (00 officer. A cavalry di vision, he declared, was almost com pletely wiped out. Ths dispatch con tlnues: "British prisoners knew nothing of the fall of Warsaw and other Russian fort resses. They had been, told that the Rus plans held the entrance to ths Bosphoru and were working toward a junoture with the British. In contrast with th. first months of the campaign, many British soldiers now voluntarily surren der theiruwlves." FOREIGN EXCHANGE AT SERIOUS STAGE Rate Drops to Point Where Bankers Say Great Britain Hay Cur tail Buying Here. DEALINGS NEAR STANDSTILL NEW YORK, Aug. 81. Foreign exchange rates reached their most serious stage today with an over night break of 3 V4 cents In sterling, the English pound Helling In this market at 14.68 H, close to the mark where curtailment of big foreign or ders to the United States would fol low, In the opinion of bankers here. Nothing like the violent break In quotations had ever been recorded In foreign exchange markets here be fore. The low level reached today was 14 cent below the mark set weeks ago by financiers as the so called Irreducible minimum which, when reached, would cause British buyers to seek other markets In which to place their orders for such Imports as could be obtained else where than In America. Foodstuffs, manufactured goods and many other products, In fact almost everything except actual munitions of war, were embraced within this category. Pemorallitatlon In the foreign exchange markets was succeeded by slmost ohaotio conditions as the result of the break. Healings In foreign exenange were vir tually at a standstill, Katna varying as much as a cent were quoted by different houses, but these rates. In almost every cam were purely nominal, and there was no business worthy the name done In English money here today. The big break means that English buy er, In addition to the top of the market prices already paid by ttiem In this coun try for Amerioan products, are called upon to pay a premium of SSft cents on every pound s worth ot purchases, or more than t per cent' With London car rying this onerous burden, something new to British bsnkers, as English money has for generations been the world's standard of International flnanos, the i question discussed In banking circles here today was how long Great Britain would continue to buy hers such articles as it wss not compelled to. There is no other world market of importance open, It wss pointed out, but more ilgid economy at home In all Im ported articles and purchases by Great Britain from suoh European neutrals as had wares to sell, it was thought would undoubtedly follow If exchange rates should gs fower. This would result In lessening to an exnt which cannot now he estimated, the genount of goods which Atnerlniui )l r m . ..n,llni, aKmti4 maw th7gTatest'm volume In the kistory-ef ths country. , " r Not an American rontraot has yet been cancelled, it was said, but the heavy premium which British buyers must pay gives every Indlcutlon, In the opinion of looal hankers, that cancellations will fol low unless rstes are rectified very soon and that there will be a decided slump In new orders. What this would mean to American Industriea cannot bs estimated. Ths new low record of M.M4 was the fifth low record established In five con secutive bualneca days. Since last Thurs day the pound sterling has dropped from Hflt, or 6H cents, nearly one-half of which was registered when the market opsned today. With sterling's break today, francs also were depreciated to within 1 cent of their previous low records of 16.05. Lires wore quotsd at tA.62, yesterdsy's close, 4 cents better than the lowest rates reached, and relchsmarks went to S0S4o, Mi sent abovs their lowest, and cent below their closing quotation of yester day.

BERLIN, Aug. .-By Wireless to Sayvllie.) The Overseas News Agency today says: "Tha special correspondent of the Vosslscha Zeltung on the eastern front gives a description ' of the burning of Brest-Lltovsk, picturing the soene as one of ghastly, senseless destruction. The entire space between the outer forts and the center of the town hsd been laid waste and ruins upon ruins were encountered. The market place was a scsne of chaos. Ths factory district waa filled with blackened heaps of masonry and a melee of metal debris In the midst of which crumbling chimneys belched forth smoke tid flame. Tha railroad tracks were covered with ruins of de- mol shed cars, while perishing cattle wandered nearby. The blue dome of the principal church, with Its glittering gold cross was destroysd. Ths town yestsr day sheltered 60.000 Inhabitants.

RUSS CONTINUE RETREAT ALONG UPPER BUG LINE Invaders Are Making Steady Prog ress East of Warsaw. While Further North Advance is Slower. ACTIVITY ON WESTERN FRONT Artillery. Mine and Hand Grenade Warfare Marks the Operation Against German Trenches. FIGHTING AT THE DARDANELLES LONDON, Aug. SI. The Russian armies along the line of the upper Bug and the Zlota Lipa are being withdrawn rapidly and apparently without great loss, as neither Vienna nor Berlin claims any extensive cap tures of prisoners or booty in this region. In the center ot the line due east of Warsaw, the Invaders con tinue to make steady progress, while further north they are advancing more slowly. The fall of Llpsk brings the attacking forces nearer Grodno, tha last big fortress on the front to be retained by the Russians. Along the western front the usual artillery, mine and hand grenade war fare marks the operations. Accord ing to Paris these activities have re sulted In the destruction of several German trenches. Reports Heavy Vtsthttngt. Constantinople again reports heavy fighting at the Dardanelles, but the en tente allies are silent In regard to their military operations on this front. . In the Austro-Itallan campaign Rome reports the capture of Ctma data, S.M0 feet high. This summit had commanded the Italian positions on Monte Balubto. Rome also sends optimistic reports ef tha progress of the entente powers In the negotiations In tk.3 near east. It Is Isald that Serbia's promises are satlafae itory as far as they go. Italian political clrolea express confidence that the Turko Bulgarian railroad agreement does not af fect Bulgarlau neutrality. . Warwick is Named for Comptroller WASHINGTON, Aug. M.
