Two obstacles have hitherto pre. vented the salvaging of the Lust- tanja, which, in addition to its value as scrap metal, is believed to con- tain valuable jewellery. The first was ignorance of the position of the hull, the second the lack of suitable diving equipment.
The liner is believed to have been located by echo-sounder apparatus by Capt. Henry B. Russell, of Glas- gow, in command of an expedition in the 450-1on Ophir In October, 1935, ot a point 11.2 miles from Kinsale Head, Ireland.
The sounder. recorded an object 780 feet long and 84 feet in height; these are the dimensions of the Lusitania.

Portugal's African possession, West Angola, is to be leased to Germany, London' diplomats believe. The lease is likely to be one of ninety-nine years, during which Germany will have full rights of possession and development.
