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 bury- ing ground at the top of the cliffs. A neat sign placed over the largest of the three trench graves informs Wisitors that the improvement was made at the direction of the Cunard Bteamship company, and that company has engaged a Cork firm of gardeners permanently to keep the grass and trees trimmed and the fowers watered. The failure of the town council to care for the graves made it neces- sary for the Cunard company to do so. fome time ago The Associated Pres: correspondent visited the ot and was surprised to find gr: foot higt over the cemetery. ac- count the incident led a ! of- ficial the Cunard line to muke an inspection. He reported to Lisz head- quarters in Liverpool, confirming the account of the neglect of the gzraves. The company acted at once and the résult is that, while two months ago it was almost lmpossible for the casual visitor to distinguish the Lus- itania graves from any others, they now arrest immediate attention. The earth around the graves been banked up two feet above level of the ground and todded. Fifteen pine trces have been planted about the edges, and a space in the center is adorned with beds of hardy flowers. A ardener from Cork makes a weekly visit to the Eraves. After the war it is proposed to *build a monument on the site. This 18 to be done by the steamship com- pany in co-operation with the British government and a plot of grouuad has been reserved for this purpose. There are three trenches, the larg- #st of which contains seventy bodies the second fifty and the third twenty seven. The plot for the memorial is between the second and third trenches. A few small gravestones, sent 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 re 1 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 who had, for generations before, used it as a market place. It was said to be “haunted” and no good luck was ex- pected from any transaction complet- ed there. During the last few weeks the villagers have begun to use it again, but only after a squad of painters and decorators had trans- * formed Its gloomy interior into such a cheerful place that the merchants, despite their superstitions were coaxed back. have of cemetery of of has the carefully DOUBLING THE SHIPS. “Every shipment of wheat that wo can send from our ports, is a ship- ment saved from the Argentine.

April , (Corre- spondence of tre Associated Press)— Accuracy and efficicncy have been made possible for the French artil- lery by the invention of an instru- ment that enables French map-mak- ers to locate almost exactly an object within the enemy lines which has been photographed from an airplane. In transferring to a map the photo- graphed object, such say, as an ene- my battery or munition dump, . the margin of error is limited to less than five yards. This permits the French artillery to pour its shells with almost certain aim on to German gun emplacements, trench positions, cross-roads, cantoni- ments, railroad lines, aviation camps and other enemy organizations. It is unnecessary for the gunner to have even a distant view of the object he is firing at. To take a photograph of the enemy lines from a French airplane is easy matter but to transfer the ob- jects photographed to their exact lo- cation on a map was for a time e tremely difficult. This was due to the varylng hcights and angles from which the airpline observers made their photographs. By the invention of one of the officers attached to the Geographical Sectlon this difficulty has been almost eliminated. Not orly the aerial observation ser- vice but other methods of spottine German positions—more especial cannon and machine-gun cmplace- ments—are utilized as aids to the work of the military map-maker. Tha flashes of guns as they are fircd frowm the German side form one valuable adjunct to his work but the most im- portaat of all is the calculation of tho | speed of the sound of the charge of the German shells as been brought to a basis acen In faet in recent operations it Thas vroved that the system af observa- firing This OF FRENCH GUNS an | !Uon by sound hag results in ! stance: given over 80 per cent of in- In every army there is a branch of the Geographical Section and each is furnished with a complete lithograph- ic and zinographic printing plant and | skilled workers, photographers and mathematicians.
