Of the torpedo ing of the British Steamer arabic of the White Star line with americans on Board came As a Shock to officials of. The United Stales government. Official information was meagre and it was Only through press dispatches thai it was heard Here thai Ike ves Sel was torpedoed without warning. While it was recognized that a canvass of the survivors might re veal that no american lives were lost the Torp doing without roaming of a vessel carrying americans has in itself been pronounced by the United states government As violation of its which if re pealed would be regarded As deliberately in the last note to Germany which it was generally accepted was the final word on the principles of the question from the United Stales Secretary Lansing used the following language in referring to rights in the War zone Friendship itself prompts it the United Stales government to. Say to the Imperial government that repetition by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in contravention of those rights must be regarded by the government of the United states when they affect american citizens As deliberately. what the course of the United Stales would be no official would predict because of the absence of detailed information.

They a re being accommodated by the White Star line in hotels and boarding houses in the Little town which so Short a time ago cared for the survivors and the dead of the Lusitania. Details of the sinking of the arabic arc lacking but that the of life was not greater doubtless was due to the fact that the. Weather was Tine and that steamers plying the German submarine zone now keep their boats swung out and otherwise Are prepared for eme Greih ies. The torpedo that Sank the arabic struck on the starboard Side. 100 feet from her Stern. The vessel had left Liverpool wednesday afternoon and taken a southerly course Well off the Irish coast doubtless with a View to avoiding the submarines which frequent the Waters nearer the Shore.

In their fright the passengers had rushed for life preservers and had barely adjusted them when the German submarine turned its torpedo against the vessel s Side. Ten lifeboats and a number of Lite rafts were quickly got Over the Side of the Steamer and into these a Large Gumbei of passengers and members of her Crew scrambled. Many of the passengers however fell into the water but they got hold of the rafts and Clung to them and later were rescued. One woman fell into the sea screaming pitifully for help.

Without delay further protest any a diplomatic Exchange whatsoever the Donnan ambassador in Washington should receive his passports the american ambassador in Berlin should be recalled. It is time to have done with a nation which has repudiated every scrap of International Law. It.

To talk further is to encourage not avoid murder. It is to compound with infamy and continue relations with savagery. It is to write ourselves Down As willing victims As consent ing to the continued Slaughter of americans. In the crime of the arabic the last thin disguise has slipped from the German beast and we see the fact As it we see it massacre by turks. outrages perpetrated upon armenians in bit Lis. London aug.

Women a children Are reported to have locked in a wooden building late this afternoon it caused a tremendous sensation. The first stated that it was feared a Largo number of the passengers had been lost. Crowds soon gathered at the White Star Ottoree making anxious inquiries As to friends and relatives who had taken passage on Board the arabic. Reassuring news came shortly by wireless however. It was to the effect that some fifteen or sixteen lifeboats and life rafts had left the Steamer safely and been picked and were being towed into Queenstown. Later private Tele Grams brought the news from most of the passengers that they were Safe although some of them were injured.

Many of women were ill their berths the liner was torpedoed and ran to the Deek in their night clothes. They were provided with blankets when they were taken from boats and. Rafts by the Crews of the Rescue ships. A. Number of those , were picked out of the water Iid arrived Here in their sea soaked clothing. The people of Queenstown i grave them every possible attention j and provided fresh outfits for Many i of them. There were some pathetic scenes of grief Over the loss of the members of some of the families on Board the liner. A. Hulme Nebeker of Logan Utah who when he arrived Here had on Only a Bathrobe said that the Crew worked splendidly under Captain Finch s direction in the Short ten minutes which they had to get the passengers into the boats and but for the Fine discipline maintained and the excellent work of the rescuing tug of flyers at. Least a couple of Hun dred persons would have been lost. The submarine according to or. I Steneker was seen before it launched the torpedo but there was not time enough to escape it. Captain Finch who is suffering from injuries to his leg said he did not see the submarine but distinctly observed the torpedo approaching the ship. It was then impossible to escape the Captain said.

Present indications Point to a speedier move ment of troops to the other Side than has characterised the plans of the militia department in the past. The present situation is a some Incon genious one and by no Means economic in its effect. While the rates of Exchange continues to depreciate the value of British Money received on this Side of the Atlantic Canada continues to retain Large bodies of troops in Dominion Many of whom have been training since last dec Nibur.

Carried on the present trip Only Cabin and third class passengers and was due to arrive in new York on Friday of next week. She sailed from Liverpool wednesday. Owing to the fact that All bookings for the arabic were made on the other Side the Winnipeg White Star office has not yet received any word As to whether or not any Winnipeg Gers were on Board though such is a possibility it was stated. The arabic had been utilized to carry great quantities of War munitions purchased in the United states for great Britain. Fastnet off which the arabic is re ported to have gone Down lies close to the Lane of steamship traffic be tween England and America it is about forty Miles West of old head arabic sunk by submarine.

Following the receipt of a cablegram announcing her Safe arrival the Bureau of combustibles of new Yore City allowed the fact to become known Fiat two Sticks of dynamite had been discovered on Board the liner on july 27, the night before she sailed from new York. Once before since tha beginning of the War the arabic had a close Call. A. Cable message from London on.
