Administration Officials Say Situation Grave If American Boat Was
 Torpedoed.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The tor pedoing of the American ship Ne. braskan by a German submarine has caused a serious condition in the dip. lomatic relations between this coun- try and Germany. The officials of the State Department refuse to cred it the news from London and are waiting for report from Ambassa. dor Page at London and from the American consul at Liverpool, who will secure the sworn statements of the commander and officers of the American ship as to how the acci- dent happened.
 With conditions between the Unit ed States and Germany almost at the breaking point, with the president po- litely but firmly insisting that Ameri- can ships have the right and that the United States government is determ- ined to maintain that right, of sail ing the socalled German war zone about England without interference by German submarines, except by ar rest of the ships and the conveying of them to a German port for the action of a prize court, the admin istration has hopes that the reports are not true and that it will be found that the American ship struck mine off the Irish coast and was not sub marined.

LONDON, May 27-The British bat tleship Triumph was sunk this morn ing off the Dardanelles by Turk ish submarine. Most of the crew of 700 were saved by the fast torpedo boats which rushed to the aid of the stricken warship drove the submarine away and picked up the crew Of the big battleship The work of rescue was carried on with great difficulty and several of the smaller ships pull ed up alongside of the doomed bat tleship and the crew rushed across to safety: As the warships, cleared ,for action, have but few boats the only way to transfer any number of the crew was by taking the chance of tying to the big ship, which might at any moment have turned turtle and taken the rescue ship with it to the bottom.
 Triumph Built In 1904.
 The battleship Triumph was launch ed in 1904 and was only of 11,SOO tons displacement with speed of nineteen knots. The saving of the crew is considered of great import ance and the loss of the battleship, almost obsolete, is not considered by the admiralty as great blow.

THE BEAUTIFYING
OF CEMETERIES.
Plan Outlined For Doing Away With
Some Of Their Worst Features.

Cemeteries are adopting the plan Of
having the price of the lots include
their perpetual care, thus insuring a
uniformly neat appearance of the
grounds. This plan is almost univer-
sally adopted by new cemeteries. Most
cemeteries now require all graves to
be on a level with the surface, doing
away with the raised mounds, which
adds greatly to the appearance of the
place, says the New York Sun. - ~,
Before cemeteries can be made as
attractive as they should be it will be
necessary to require simple and uni
form markers of stone at every grave,
with slightly different marker for
the name of the plot owner. The
grounds can then be made beautiful.
laying them out in the most artistic
manner possible, with trees Of various
kinds, Towering shrubs, rose beds and
arbors, ponds with aquatic plants and
swans and benches neatly arranged In
shaded spots and under arbors for the
comfort of visitors. -:
The general use Of monuments will
be prohibited. A few monuments Of
real artistic merit by celebrated artists
here and there, where they will At into
the landscape, will make the cemetery
a place of beauty. Friends will go to
visit their dead without the shudder
that comes over one on entering the
ordinary cemetery, confronting field
of unsightly monuments, arrayed as
If in battle formation, all the work of
a stone carver, frequently of ordinary
ability and devoid Of artistic taste.
Unsightly stombs will be prohibited.
A row Of tombs, built as one building
or mausoleum, will be located properly
to add to rather than detract from the
appearance Of the cemetery, and por-
lions Of this building will be sold to
those desiring to use tomb. -.
It Is as reasonable to expect several
thousand people to each build small
portion of great building according
to their own ideas and have the whole
beautiful result as to expect GENE
teries under the present plan to be
anything more than what they are.
Crazy patch work is far more sys-
tematic.
Only one cemetery of this kind is
needed to reform the situation, as it
would be so attractive as to arouse
universal interest and be copied far
and wide.
