Geneva, March 30.—Italian military
headquarters, it is reported, has or
dered several regiments stationed near
the Swiss frontier to move toward the
TyroleBe frontier where Austrian
troops have been concentrating.
London. —About 150 lives were lost
In the sinking, by German submarines,
of the African liner Falaba and the
British steamer Agulla, bound from
Liverpool for Lisbon.
The Falaba, which was torpedoed in
SL George’s channel Sunday after
noon, carried a crew of 90, and about
160 passengers, and of this total only
140 were rescued. Of those rescued
eight died later from exposure.
The Agulla had a crew of- 42 and
three passengers, and of these, 23 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, a
torpedo was fired, striking the engine
room and causing a terrible explosion.
Many persons were killed and the
steamer sank in ten minutes.
The Agulla was attacked off the
Pembrokeshire coast. The submarine
which, in this case, was the U-2S,
opened fire with her gun, shells from
which killed a woman passenger, the
chief engineer and two of the crew.
Even after the crew had commenced
to lower the boats, according to the
Btory of the survivors, the Germans
kept up their fire.
The Dutch steamer Amstel, a vessel
of 853 tons, belonging to P. A. Van Es
& Co., Rotterdam, when on a passage
from Rotterdam to Goole, England,
struck a mine In a German mine field
off Flamborough, Yorkshire, England.
One of the Falaba's passengers said:
“Barely ten minutes after we received
the order to leave the ship, I heard a
report, and saw the vessel heel over.
The Germans actually fired a torpedo
at her at a range of about 100 yards,
when a large number of passengers,
the captain and officers were distinct
ly to be seen aboard.”
Outside of the sinking of these
steamers the only events of import
ance, news of which was received dur
ing the day, were the renewal of act
ivity by the Russian Black Sea fleet,
which bombarded the forts on the Bos
porus, and the announcement from Pe
trograd that the Baltic fleet had been
reinforced by modern fighting units,
presumably dreadnoughts, built In
Russian yards.
The battles for the Carpathian
passes are proceeding with ever-in
creasing violence.

A dozen deaf-mutes sat In a north
bound subway train the other night,
vigorously conversing along and across
the aisle, with gesticulating arms and
fingers. The roar of the train was no
deterrent to that interchange.
At Grand Central station a man got
on plainly overloaded with effective
beverage. All the way to Seventy-sec
ond street he watched, fascinated, the
swift play of hands and fingers. Once
he shouted some remark,_lost in the
racket of the train, and unnoticed, of
course, by the deaf-mutes to whom it
was addressed.
The doors were closed and the train
ready to start from Seventy-second
street; there was a bit of Bilence. In

at the office even later than usual.
His employer, tired of waiting for him,
had himself set about registering the
day’s transactions, usually Jones' firBt
duty. The enraged merchant laid his
pen aside very deliberately and said to
Jones, very sternly: __
“Jones, this will not do!”
“No, sir," replied Jones, gently,

over his employer's shoulder, “it will
