MILITARY HONORS FOR F-4 VICTIMS

Seventeen Unidentified Bodies of 11lFated Submarine Are BuHed In Arlington Cemetery. Washington, Sept. 28.—Full military honors today were accorded to seventeen unidentified victims who lost their lives when the United States submarine F-4 mysteriously sunk at the entrance of Honolulu harbor some months ago. Their dismemherec bodies, in four caskets, were buriec in the Arlington national cemetery, the services being attended by high officials of the navy and others. As the flag-draped caissons were drawn from the Washington navy yard to Arlington, thousands of civil war veterans and others attending the Grand Army of the Republic encampment, lined the street and uncovered their heads in reverence, the bodies which were recovered only recently after having been submerged for months were in such condition as to make their individual identification impossible. There were 21 men aboard the submarne. Four bodies were identified and buried elsewhere.
