TORPEDOES SINK TWO BRITISH
 VESSELS
Latest Type Of
 Submarines Used
150 LIVES LOST WHEN THE FALABA AND AGUILA ARE SENT TO THE BOT TOM; GERMANY'S BLOCK AIDE IS EFFECTIVE.
By Associated Press.

LONDON, March 29.-About 150
 lives were lost in the sinking by Ger
 man submarines Of the African liner
 Falaba and the British steamer Agui-
 la bound from Liverpool for Lisbon.
 The Falaba was torpedoed in St.
 Georges channel Sunday. She car ried crew of % and l60 passengers.
 Only 40 of the total were rescued and eight of these died later from ex posture. The Aguila had crew of AZ and three passengers, of whom g of the crew and the passengers were lost. In both cases. on sighting the submarine, the captain tried to escape by putting on all speed, but the un- derwater craft overlook the steamers
 The speed of the submarines in overhauling both steamers show that Germany now has some of her most modern submarines engaged in block ade operations against England. The captain of the Falaba. who was one of those lost, was given five minutes to get his passengers and crew into boats. but according to the survivors. before this was possible, torpedo was fired, striking the engine room and causing a terrific explosion in which many persons were killed. The steamer sank in five minutes.
 Outside of the sinking of the steam CTS the only event of importance in the news which was received during the day was the renewal of activity by the Russian Black sea fleet which bombarded the forts of the Bosphor- us. An announcement comes from Petrograd that the Baltic fleet is re- with modern fighting units. presumably with dreadnaughts built in Russian yards.
 LONDON, March 29.-The official list supplied at the offices of the own CTS show that as so far as known at present 5 frst-class passengers and 34 second-class and 49 of the crew Of the Falaba were saved. Four of the passengers and four of the crew were killed and 61 passengers and B of the crew are missing.

TAKEN ID TASK FOR LEASING
 POLICY

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Sec- retary Lane, of the interior depart mept, has been accused of blocking metal mining in the West by the Of ficial publication of the American Mining Congress. In an editorial in The Mining Congress Journal, which appears in the issue out today, the secretary of the interior as taken to task sharply for his attitude toward the proposed leasing policy.
 Basis for the editorial IS found in the recent action of the Wyoming legislature in formally condemnine the leasing policy as being danger ous menace to republican form of government, and the reply of MT. Lane to this publication.
 The Mining Congress Journal takes issue wies the secretary's statement that metal mining development is not blocked by the withdrawals that have been made. The editor goes into Mir Lanes own office for the proof. He cites the Bolthoff case, which is pend ing before the interior department. He assures the secretary that any quantity Of as pertinent examples can be cited.
 Several years ago Mir. Bolthoff, of the Hendrie and Bolthoff Machinery Company, of Denver, Colorado, came into possession of several mining claims and a mill site in Clear Creek county, Colorado. After some years of work and the expenditure of many thousands of dollars upon the claims, he began the erection of a mill to treat the ore body, which his devel- opment work had disclosed, and at the same time applied to the govern ment for a patent upon his mill site and mining claims. After spending something like $25,O00 in permanent construction work and after purchas- ing machinery of approximately equal value with which to complete the mill, he was met by the determine ton of the land department that the mill site connected with his mining claims could not go to patent because of the fact that the valley had been withdrawn from entry as a water power site. An appeal was taken to the secretary of the interior. Mir. Bolthoff employed attorneys. sending them to Washington. and after con siderable effort on the part of the senators from Colorado a hearing was finally arranged before a subor- dinatc of the interior department, The case is still pending and the en- terprise Is still "blocked."

for the consciousness that the re-

For dinners and for afternoon
dances and for various functions Of
half-dress, taffeta, faille silk and
gros-de Londres are the favorite ma
terials and in their making is to be
noted a very curious combination Of
effects. Designers and dress
makers are searching the 1880 period
for suggestions, but they are still
clinging to the Empire and we see some
combinations that truly are our own.
As yet, there Is only slight hint Of
the full sleeves that were such con-
spicuous feature Of the 1890 period.
but we have the wide skirts that flare
and the berthas and they are COM
bined with bodices that hint of the
preceding era, but they are none the
less charming because of the fact.
Never were silks lovelier in color than
they are today. A most exquisite
dinner gown is made Of taffeta in a
wonderful shade Of pinkish mauve
with trimming Of soft creamy lace. It
is princesse, inasmuch as the bodice
and skirt are cut in one and consists
OF cores that flare most generously at
the lower edge and it suggests the
raised Empire waist-line. It is closed
at the front, where it is Tapped in sur
plice style and the neck is finished with
rolled-over collar of the silk and a
soft jabot of lace which extends to the
edge Of the closing. The long, slightly
Mosquetaire sleeves are Of the lace
also and we have before US gown
suggestive of the Empire period. yet
measuring fully five yards in width
at the lower edge.
All the tiny, little boleros are smart
and really exquisite costumes are made
with boleros or little fancy jackets
worn over lingerie guimpes. A most
fascinating one consists Of three
founced skirt of bordered taffeta with
a quaint little coat Of charmeuse satin
that matches one Of the colors in the
border and little chemisette with
high, faring collar at the back of
sheerest organdie. Very lovely and
eminently picturesque results are OBJ
tanned by using these boleros or little
