Fine Job Printing at the Times Office
QUEENSTOWN, April 10.—Work
men have just finished a month’s task
of tidying up the Lusitania cemetery
where one hundred and forty-seven
of the Lusitania dead are buried. They
have converted the three mounds of
earth, which mark the trench-graves
of the victims, into the neatest and
best-kept part of the village burying
ground at the top of the cliffs.
A neat sign placed over the larges!
of the three trench graves informs
visitors that the improvement was
made at the direction of the Cunard
Steamship Company, and that the com
pany has engaged a Cork firm o
gardeners permanently to keep th<
grass and trees trimmed and th<
flowers watered.
The failure of the town council t<
care for the graves made it necessarj
for the Cunard Company to do so
Some time ago the Associated Pres;
correspondent visited the spot am
was surprised to find grass a foot higl
all over the cemetery. His accoun
of the incident led a high official o
the Cunard line to make an inspec
tion. He reported to his headquarter:
in Liverpool, confirming the accoun
of the neglect of the graves. The com
pany acted at once and the result i:
that, while two months ago it was al
most impossible for the casual visito
to distinguish the Lusitania grave
from any others, they now arrest im
mediate attention.
The earth around the graves ha
been banked up two feet above th<
level of the ground and carefull;
sodded. Fifteen pine trees have beei
planted about the edges, and a spaci
in the center is adorned with beds o
hardy flowers. A gardener from Corl
makes a weekly visit to the graves.
After the war it is proposed to bulb
a monument on the site. This is t
be done by the steamship company h
co-operation with the British govern
--———
meat and a plot of ground has been
reserved for this purpose.
”"here' are three trenches, the larg
est of which contains seventy bodies,
the second fifty and the third twenty
seren. The plot for the memorial is
between the second and third
trenches. A few small gravestones,
seat by relatives of the victims, now
form the only memorials to be found
about the spot.
The graves are seldom visited by
the villagers. They say they shun
them because they recall the terrible
scenes enacted nearly three years ago.
One of the latest visitors was the
American counsul here, Charles M.
Hathaway, Jr., who escorted a group
of American naval officers now on
duty in adjacent waters.
The town hall in Queenstown, which
was used as a morgue for the victims,
was for two years afterward deserted
by the villagers wrho had, for genera
tions before, used it as a marketplace.
| It was said to be ‘‘haunted" and no
I good luck was expected from any
transaction completed there. During
the last few weeks the villagers have
begun to use it again, but only after
a squad of painters and decorators
1 had transformed its gloomy interior
into such a cheerful place that the
merchants, despite their superstitions
1 were coaxed back.

FOREST OF FONTAINEBLEAU:
MAY RE IAIAR SACRIFICE'
a
PARIS, April 10.—Will the forest of
Fontainebleau have to be sacrificed
to military purposes* That question
is agitating French historical, artistic
and literary circles. There is little
of these questionings in the practical
mind and it is believed probable itjat
before long the ancient forest will re
semble a lumber camp on the Ottawa
or the St. Maurice rivers.
The drain of lumber during the
present war has been very great. With
the difficulty in transportation grow
ing more and more acute the supply
of timber has had to be obtained from
local tracts instead of from the virgin
, forests of Northern Canada.
There is a pang of regret in artistic
circles but it is remembered that Eng
land has sacrificed without murmur
the beautiful trees in the Royal Park
of Windsor and it is believed that un
less lumber can be obtained elsewhere
under as favorable conditions, Fon
tainebleau is doomed.

A HINT TO ALASKANS
EDINBURGH, April 10—A scheme

gulls’ eggs to relieve the shortage in

excellent substitute for the hen’s egg
and abounds all around the Scotch
coasts.
