.LUSITAN|A INQUIRY
BEGINS AT WESTMINSTER
Not Expected INVESTIGATION Will De-
'elop What Precautions Taken
by Naval authorities.

London. June 15.-'l'ho inquiry into
the torpedoing of the Lusitania which
the board OF trade has instituted. OPP
oned at Central hall, Westminster to-
day, With Lord Mersoy presiding.
The investigation Will take up all
phases CT the disaster. but It is
thought the admiralty Will refuse to
disclose many important facts on the
grounds OF the danger that Informal
ton Of value may BE- given to Great
Britain's enemies.
For this reason il is not expected
that Lord Mersey VIII be able to de
Velop just what precautions were tax
en- by the naval authorities 10 safe
guard the big Cnnarder. 1t has been
charged by survivors OF the disaster
that on reaching Queenstown they
found several destro&ers and other
fast craft Juggling idly at their an
rltors when they might Just as we'll
have gone to the assistance of the
Lusitania. On this subject it is CON
sidered certain the admiralty will re-
main mum.
Lord Merscy. who conducted the Ii
TAME and Empress Of ireland inquir-
es, is credited with knowing more
shout mara;ime law that any other
Judge on the English bench, past or
present.
He has retired from the bench with
a pension of $4,000 year, but he
remains one of the law lords OF the
house of lords and as such IS called
upon to exercise judicial functions
whenever cases are appealed to the
house of lords, as the highest tr!bun-
al of the realm.

skirt is made of tat.
feta and is trimmed
with double ruches

faced with charmeuse
satin in a contrasting
color and the facing
of a skirt that is cut
in this way makes an
important feature,
for in the very nature
of things, the under
side will be visible.
In this instance, the
facing is just a plain
silk, but often. if a
very fluffy, da;:i
effect is wanted,
trimming is arranged
on the under side as
ruches or frills of
chiffon, so that the
skirt becomes really
a very elaborate one.
1t is simple to make,
however, meaning no
difficulties at all, and
since it is full at the
upper edge, there is
no fitting to be ac-
J complished. The
finish can be made at
the natural waist line
or a little above it.

The pointed skirt can
be trimmed in various
ways. In place of
the ruches can be
used three narrow
ruffles or bands of
velvet ribbon or other
trimming can be ar.
ranged over the lower
edge, the fluffy effect
being obtained by
the facing or lining.
