Mr.. jackson OF Jericho, the House rc-
fused to pass S. 1875, relating to vehicles
carrying lights at night on public high
ways. The vote was l3l to s3. Inc
vote followed a strong argument made
by Mr.. jackson against the bill, and he
was seconded by Mr. Foster OF Calais,
who said the bill was little too dras'
tic and little too arbitrary. BY kill
ing the measure, the House sustained its
action taken early in the session, when
ii refused to pass q similar measure.

SINKING OF TWO SHIPS
COST 140 LIVES
Liner Falaba and Steamer Aquila Were
Torpedoed by German Submarines
Some People Were Rescued
by Fishing Boats.

London, March 30.--About 24O lives
We're lost in the sinking by German sub
marines of the African liner Falaba and
the British steamer Aguila, bound from
Liverpool for Lisbon.
The Falaba, which was torpedoed IN
st. Georges channel Sunday afternoon
carried a crew Of 96 men and Isl passen-
gers, and of this total only l43 were
rescued. OF those rescued eight died
later. The Aguila had crew OF az, ana
three passengers and of these ~ OF the
crew and all OF the passengers were iost.
In each case, on sighting the submarine
the captain tried to escape by putting
on all speed possible, but the under wat
er craft overlook the steamer, showing
that Germany now has some OF her most
modern submarines engaged in the 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 the
boats. but. according to survivors, be-
fore this was possible, torpedo was
fred, striking the engine room and caus-
ing a terrible explosion. Many persons
were killed, and the steamer sank IN
ten minutes.
Trawlers which happened to be IN the
vicinity rescued most of those who were
saved; others got away in the boats
which were ready for launching and
which were quickly lowered when the
order was given to abandon ship.
Those who were still on the steamer
when the explosion occurred were thrown
into the sea. and it took the fishermen
an hour or more to pick up the people
in the water who managed to keep them
selves afioat.
The Aguila was attacked off the Penn
brokershire coast.
The submarine which in this case was
the C-2s, opened fire with her guns,
shells from which killed woman pas
senger. the chief engineer and two OF
the crew. Even after the crew had
commenced to lower the boats, according
TO the story Of the survivors the Ger
mans kept up their fire and some OF the
boats were riddled with bullets.
The captain OF the trawler ottille,
whom the commander of the submarine
told of the sinking Of the Aguila, went
to the rescue and picked up three boats
containing nineteen of the crew.
The fourth boat, which contained the
other members of the crew, could not be
found, and il is presumed that she
foundered On their arrival at Fish
guard several Of the crew wore bandages,
having been wounded by the fire from
the submarine

Sinking Of Big Vessel BY Germans
Greatly Nis Official Washington

Washington. d. c.-Destruetion Of
the British liner Lusitanin with the
loss Of many lives shocked officials Of
the United States government and
spread profound grief In the national
capital.
Although Il was not known how
many. II any. Of those lost were
Americans, tho view was general that
the most serious situation confronted
tho American government since the
outbreak Of the war In Europe
The warning Of the United States
that Germany would be held 70 a
"striet accountability" for the loss Of
American lives" irrespective Of
whether they were aboard bclligcrent
or neutral vessels when attacked, fo-
cuscd attention on the White House,
where President Wilson until late In
the night read the dispatches with
grave interest. The President made
no comment.
Secretary Bryan. Counselor Lans-
ing, senator's and members Of the
house who were In the city, waited up
until late hour for definite news Of
the passengers and crew OF the sunken
ship. Earlier In tho day they had
construed the positive announcements
from abroad that no lives had been
lost as final. but later advices dashed
their hopes.

German Military Attade lustfles
Ad Of Sinking Ship by Submarine

New York-captain Franz Won Pa
pen, military attache Of the Imperial
German embassy. is quoted by the
New York World as making the first
official German statement regarding
tho sinking Of the Lusitania. He
says:
''It Is deplorable. II true, that so
many lives have been lost. / am
shocked 20 hear the news, especially
that American lives have been sacri-
feed.
"But IL was absolutely criminal for
the Cunard company to carry, and for
the British government to allow the
line TO carry. neutral passengers in a
ship which was transporting explo-
sives and munitions of war to be used
by Great Britain and her allies.
"The ships manifest will show that
she carried large amount Of picric
and other explosive materials. They
certainly were not intended for peaceful
uses. They were to be used against
Germany and Germany had to defend
herself against them. The best way
was to destroy the ship, and such de-
struction was amply justified under
the rules Of war"

How many Of the Lusltania's pas
sengcrs and crew were rescued cannot

When motor trucks loaded with am.
munition are dispatched to the front
from a depot in the rear Of the firing
lines, 1t is now self-understood that
the slowest trucks go in front. while
the fastest bring up the rear. This
was found necessary because Of the
tendency OF ammunition drivers to go
at top speed when the call for shells
and cartridges comes. II the slow
trucks are in the rear Of the column,
the latter is strung out over miles OF
