nitely known if she was among the
passengers.
Fifty four Missing
AT least five passengers, two OF whom
were Americans and 30 members OF the
crew lost their lives when the White
Star Liner Arabic was torpedoed and
sunk by a German submarine off Fast
net yesterday morning. Nine other pas
seneers are missing and are believed to
have persisted.
The two Americans who went down
with the ship Were Mrs. Josephine
Bruguiere of New York and Edmond
/! T. Woods. The former was thrown into
the water and was kept af1oat for some
time by her sor Louis, who was forced
tn relinquish his hold when he was
struck by a piece of wreckage. Nothing
was seen of Woods after the steamer
was struck.
Most Of the missing members of the
crew belonged to the engineers staff
| They remained at their posts and went
down with the ship.
Captain Finch and the other officers of
the Arabic assert the submarine gave
them no warning. They declare the tor
pedo was fired as they were going to the
rescue of the steamer Dunsley, which
had just been torpedoed, presumably by
the same submarine.
The Americans who reached Queens
town were cared for by the United States
consul. With the other passengers they
left Ireland for England tonight They
lost all their babbage and many of them
wore borrowed clothing until the consul
had provided for them.
The Arabic carried oS13 bags of mail.
mostly for the United States. The mail
included several hundred bags from Swe-
den. Norway. Switzerland, Spain and
other countries.
DR.. Wood. one OF the Americans IN
accounted for. was q leading Wiscon-
sin physician. He was on his way home
after completing a tour of duty for the
Red Cross with British hospital Corps

her marriage, was Miss Josephine !.

ANXIETY FOR
THE LAPLAND

New York, Aug. 20.-The British
censor apparently silenced today the
wires leading to the White Star Line
here, from England. Only one dispatch
, relating TO the sinking of the Arabic
message detailing certain changes in
the previous lists of survivors and
missing-escaped his blue pencil.
The lack of definite news from
abroad was balanced by a host of ru-
mors that tried the nerves of officials
and left them tonight in keen state
of apprehension as TO the fate of at
least one more big steamer in or near
the war Zone-the Lapland which
sailed Aug. II from this port for Liv
erpOol with 31S passengers, including
Is Americans, and a capacity cargo
of war munitions and other supplies.
In one instance a rumor of disaster
to another White Star liner proved
untrue. This was the report that the
| Liner Bowie, a freighter departing from
New Pork on Aug with a big cargo
but no passengers for Manchester
had met with the Arabic's fate. Off
cials of the White Star Line were
frankly anxious about the Lapland.
The same report of disaster having
overtaken her was current in Queens
town, too A cable dispatch from there,
however, said it was thought that the
! Lapland was confused with the Bris-
tol liner New York City. which fell
prey to a submarine Yesterday The
/ New York City's crew of SO and her
cantain were landed at Queenstown
today This vessel, a freighter like
wise, was British liner.
! ?. a. s. Franklin Of the 1nterna :
tional Mercantile Marine Co en-
deavored to learn by cable whether
the Arabic was conveyed.
no word had been received from
the British admiralty" Mr.. Franklin
added, that the vessel would be con-
voyed No agreement was made TO
convoy her. To the best of my knowl-
edge there was no convoy.
Had the vessel been conveyed, Mr.
Franklin agreed. she would have been
subject to attack by submarine
without warning.

One Tangible
Investigation
Of Lynching

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. 20.-Apparently
the only tangible investigation Of the
lynchins of Leo NJ. Frank actually un-
der way is that being conducted by
Coroner Booth of Cobb county. Coroner
Booth said today that he had discover
ed only two witnesses who had seen
the lynChing party in automobiles ap-

William Frey. Neither was able to fix
the identity of any member of the par

The inquest will be held next Tues

however, the verdict of the coroner S

vessels reported torpedoed may add an
other 1856 tons to the aggregate de-
stroyed in the past two days. So far as
known there has been no loss of life ex-
cept in the sinking of the White Star
liner Arabic. The recrudeucence OF sub
marine activity began on Aug. Il. and in
the week ending Aug. Is the British ad-
niralty reports officially Is vessels of q
total tonnage of 22,970 were sunk, Il of
them by underwater craft and two by
mines. That makes total loss Of 7n,66S
tons of shipping in nine days. The total
tonnage known to have been lost Friday
was 26,674 and Thursday it was 2l,c24.
TIE largest vessel whose loss has
been confirmed was the Arabic, Of 49,
sol tons. Reports that the Lapland of
1850 tons. ard the Ncosian of $685..
have been sunk have not been verified,
The fate of the Dunsley, 1856 net tons,
reported torpedoed just before the
Arabic was sunk, has not been def
nitely determined. The British press
! association has denied the reported
, loss of the Bowie of $500 tons.

SAYS VACCINE DOES
NOT CAUSE TETANUS

Washington, -, u Interesting scien-
tific studies dealing with the relation Of
tetanus to vaccination were recently com
pIeted by Director John r. Anderson OF
the hygienic laboratory, United States
public health service. DR.. Anderson says
that tetanus is never contracted through
vaccine virus, and he presents evidence
which goes to prove that the limited
number of authentic cases developing
after innoculaton have invariably been
due to contamination of the wound sub
sequent to vaccination.
During the last Is years the hygienic
laboratory, charged by law with the reg
ulation of the manufacture and sale of
yaccines and serums, has examined, spe-
officially for the organism of tetanus. suf-
ficient vaccine to vaccinate over 100000
persons, and in not a single instance was
the presence of tetanus bacilli estab.
lished.
Monkeys. which are susceptible both
to vaccination and tetanus, were lin
oculated with virus heavily contamin-
ated with tetanus spores. While de-
welcoming takes" they remained alb
solutely free from symptoms of tetan-
us. The same treatment was accorded
guinea pigs, equally susceptible to the
disease, with similar results.
These records comprise such data as
the number of persons vaccinated. result
and character of the operation, the firm
manufacturing the virus and other es-
sential facts. In the majority of the Al
cases studied it was learned that many
others were treated with the same lot of
virus without harmful effects. This In
itself suggests that the vaccine was not
the causative factor.
Tests of the virus from the original
packages failed to reveal the presence of
the tetanus organism, thus substantial
ing this conclusion. During the period
mentioned 1t is estimated from manufac-
turers' reports that more than 81. 00o. 900
persons were vaccinated.

NOV0CE0RcIEVSK WITH GARRISON

WAR MATERIAL FALLS TO TEuT0NS
later REPORT SAYS $4,000 Men

Berlin. Aug. N.-(r;a London, 12.N p.
M.).-Official announcement was made
here today Of the capture Of the impor-
tant Russian fortress of Novogeorgievek
with more than 10000 men. The statement
follows
THE fortress of Novogeorgievsk. the
enemy's last bulwark in Poland, has
been captured after stubborn resistance.
The entire garrison, including over
10000 men, and enormous stock Of war
material fell into our hands.
THE Emperor left for Novogeorgievsk
In order to give the thanks of himself
and the Fatherland to the leader of the
attack. Gen. Won Bereler, and his troops"
The capture Of Novogeorgiesvk has
been foreseen since the fall of Warsaw
When the general Russian retreat was
made from the Warsaw salient, Grand
Duke Nicholas. the Russian commander
in chief. elected to leave u garrison in
the fortress than evacuate this position,
as 1t was recognized that the only Ques-
ton was how long the defenders would
be able to hold out. The grand dukes
decision apparently was due to the stra-
tegical position of the fortress So long
as the Russians retained it they were
able to stop communication on the Wis
tula river. Novogeorgievsk is 10 miles
northwest Of Warsaw and is situated at
the junction of the vistula, Narew and
Wkra rivers. On account of its posi-
ton it was described by an Associated
