 At the same time the work on Will low Avenue is in progress, the laying of the sidewalks for the patio about which the group of cottage units will be assembled, will be started. Five of the young lady dormitOries will face the patio and @ scheme of ar ranging that important center, is be- ing developed that will make it an unusually attractive spot.
 In case more appropriations are se- cured for the furtherance of the inn Iprovement work about the campus, the plan is to encircle the whole with cement walk and curbing and to add more of the connecting cement

ned to devote as much as two-thirds of the room to the use of students for reading purposes. The floor will be carpeted with battle-ship linoleum and chairs and tables will be installed to accommodate as many as two hundred students at one time.
 The extra room available for library space this year and the additional equipment has made necessary the appointment of an assistant to the librarian and during the new term the two ladies will devote their entire time to this department.
 The library now contains about eight thousand volumes. Practically all of the important periodicals of the country are received regularly and placed on file and on recommenda- tion of faculty members new books are ordered regularly so that the library is being equipped constantly with all the up to date reference books as they are published.

Denver.-The new law providing for
the occupancy oil flve.acre tracts with
in the national forests Tor the con
su'iction OIL summer homes, hotels,
stores, and other recreative and puD-
lie conveniences unaer a thirty-year
lease is creating lively interest
throughout the central Rocky Noun
tain region. This announcement was
made by the district forester at local
forestry headquarters.
Although the law has been in ef-
feet but short time.' the district
forester says, Its instant popularity
is indicated by numerous inquiries
daily received in the office from per-
sons interested in the provisions OF the
act. Nowhere in the West should the
benefits of this law be more far-reach-
ing than in Colorado, Wyoming and
South Dakota. Our wonderful scenery
and natural advantages already attract
thousands of tourists TO our mountains
every summer. When 1t becomes gen
orally known that these five-acre
tracts, sufficient for the construction
Of homes and other improvements for
the convenience of tourists, may be
secured for 4 fixed term of years,
many will be induced to make their
annual residence within the state.
In some instances, however, the in
tent OF the law has been misunder-
stood. Several of those seeking in
formation concerning the law have
gained the Impression that absolute IL
lie 10 the land might be ultimately ac-
luired, and that the law requires an
annual residence OF three months,
Such are not the facts. This is not
homestead law in any sense, and no
authority is contained therein for the
issuance OF patent, The law, enacted
as part of the 1916 agricultural APP
preparation bill, reads as follows:
That hereafter the secretary of az
riculture may, upon such terms as he
may deem proper, for periods not eN-
,eeding thirty years, permit responsi-
BILE persons or associations to use and
occupy suitable spaces or portions OF
ground in the national forests for the
construction OF summer homes, hotels,
stores or other structures needed for
recreation or public convenience, not
exceeding five acres to any one person
Or association: but this shall not be
construed TO interfere with the right
to enter homesteads upon agricultural
land in the national forests as now
provided by law"
Under the act. therefore, the sec
retary is merely authorized to grant
leases OF areas not to exceed five
acres for periods not in excess OF thir-
ty years. AT the expiration OF the
lease, unless renewed, the lands Will
revert to the government"
THE national forests are extensive
ly used now for purposes similar to
those authorized by this law, but un-
der revocable permits only. Previous
ly existing laws are In no wise affect
ed by this new enactment which Is In
tended TO enlarge the usefulness oi the
forests for recreative purposes by pro
yidlng fixed term leases for those de-
string to construct such improvements
as might not be justified under revoe'
able permits"

London.-About $50 lives were lost
in the sinking, by German submarines.
of the African liner Falaba and the
British steamer Aguila, bound from
Liverpool for Lisbon.
The Falata, which was torpedoed in
St. Georges channel Sunday after
noon, carried a crew of 80, and about
lGO passengers, and of this total only
40 were rescued. OF those rescued
eight died later from exposure.
The Aguila had crew of AZ and
three passengers. and of these, 90 OF
the crew and all the passengers were
lost.
The captain of the Falaba, who was
one of those lost, was given five min
utes to get his passengers and crew
into the boats, but, according to the
survivors, before this was possible,
torpedo was fired, striking the engine
room and causing terrible explosion.
Many persons were killed and the
steamer sank in ten minutes.
The Aguila was attacked off the
Pemsrokeshire coast. The submarine
which, in this case, was the U2S,
opened fire with her gun, shells from
which killed woman passenger, 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 Germans
kept up their fire.
The Dutch steamer Amstel, a vessel
Of S53 tons, belonging to P. A. Van Es
& Co., Rotterdam. when on passage
from Rotterdam to Goole. England.
struck a mine in German mine field
off Marlborough, Yorkshire, England.
One OF the Falaba's passengers said:
Barely ten minutes after We received
the order to leave the ship. heard
report, and saw the vessel heel over.

at her at n range Of about 100 yards,

Honolulu, March 29.-After two
days of wasted effort in hooking and
pulling what proved to be an old
anchor instead of the missing United
States submarine F-4, relief workers
discovered the location of the trapped
vessel outside the harbor.
The discovery that an error had
been made as to the location of the
FL destroyed the last faint hope of
finding any of the submarines crew
of twenty-one men alive. The anchor
that was mistaken for the submerged
vessel by the grapplers was one from
the tattleship Oregon. Gray paint
scratched from this anchor helped to
deceive the relief workers into believ-
ing that the hooks had caught on the
submarine.
They are confident that they now
have located the F-4. Portions of the
superstructure have been brought TO
the surface.
The dredge California will shift
moorings, tugs will crisscross in all
directions and an attempt will be
made to lift the submarine.
w. C. Parks, a civil engineer. has
started construction of an immense
diving bell, 5i.inch cast iron pipe
seven feet in height, fitted with plate
glass.
A diver named Agraaz. clad only in
a Jersey suit, slightly reinforced, and
a divers helmet. descended in an he
roic attempt TO reach the lower end
OF 215 feet of chain. For % minutes
he was going down. In 9ls minutes
from the signal he was at the sur
face again. showing no Ill effects of
the unusual performance, said by
naval officers to be a worlds record
for deep sea diving.
Agraaz reported that the chain was
fouled with an old anchor lost from
the battleship Oregon some time ago.
He had seen no trace of the F-i.
Despair supplanted hope when two
divers discovered that chains from the
dredger California, which had been
fouled with something on the floor Of
the ocean outside Honolulu harbor
since Friday afternoon were not at
tached to the lost craft.

has been in constant personal charge

London, March ga British air
fleet. flying inland from the coast
above Antwerp, routed two Zeppelins
and five Taubes in battle in mid-air
following an attack on the German
submarine base at Hoboken, in which
one submarine was sunk and another
badly damaged by bombs.
Following this exploit the English
aviators outflew the German aero
nauts and reached their base at Dun.
kirk in safety.
According to admiralty reports, the
fleet originally included five aero
planes carrying rapid-fire guns in ad-
dition to bombs.
Two were obliged to turn back be-
cause OF bad weather conditions. while
third was forced to land in Holland
because OF engine trouble. Its pilot
and observer were interned. The sink.
ing OF the submarine and the scatter
ing Of the German aeronauts would
seem. therefore. to have been accom-
plished by but two aviators of the
Royal corps.
In the same region It is reported
that the Germans are preparing for
another supreme effort In Flanders.
Already there has been considerable
fighting along the User. the Germans
having bombarded Nieuport and Dix
nude while the Belgians have made
progress along both banks OF the river.
The big battle OF the moment. how.
ever. is In progress between Dukla
pass and Uzsok pass In the Car
pathians. where. In their official com.
munication. the Russians claimed to
have captured a number OF Austrians
and to have made n general advance.
Austrian correspondents declare that
this battle is likely to continue for
some time. II is possible that the
Russians will use part OF the troops
released by the fall OF Przemysl In an
endeavor to bring the battle to an end.
The Austrians have developed n
fresh offensive In Bukowina. to which
they some days ago sent reinforce.
ments and have. according to their
account, driven the Russians back
across the frontier and removed the
immediate menace OF czernowitE.
On the other extreme wing OF the
eastern front. the Germans have re-
occupied Memel with the assistance OF
their warships. which have since BON.
barded the roads by which the Rus
slams were falling back. The Germans
also apparently have checked the Rus
sian advance on Tilsit.
unfavorable weather Is still inter
fering with the operations of the al.

A summary OF what purrorts to be
the conditions upon which the Aus.
trian garrison at przcmysl offered to
surrender to the Russians Is printed in
Geneva. The following stipulations
are said to have been made:
First, full honors OF war for the gar.

Second. special treatment for the
prisoners. providing that officers shall
be parolcd and that none OF the troops
shall be- sent to siberia.
