A. p. A. Service.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The best in- formation at present available indi- cates that a score or more lives were lost in the Arabic disaster So far it has been impossible to ascertain the names of the lost or missing Americans aboard the vessel owing to the diff culty of communicating with Queens town because of the flood of messages pouring into that city from all parts of the world.
 Two Americans are definitely known to be missing, however, at present, Dr. Edmund r. Wood, of Jaynesville, Wis, and his cousin, Mrs. Josephine Brug- iere are the names given.
 Nothing further has been ascertain ed as to the exact number who have lost their lives

It is re- ported by the owners and managers of several large plants that active eff forts are being made to influence many of their workmen to strike and through this means restrict the productive ac- tivities.
 It is also declared that several strikes that have lately taken place can be readily attributed to the machinations of the alleged spies. Officials of the Standard Oil and Remington Arms Companies have no hesitation in as- serting that the hand of these sup

As in the case of the Lusitania, the sinking of the Arabic has given rise to the greatest indigna ton and the London papers are today reprinting the warning of President Wilson, contained in the American note of July 21 emphasizing the final paragraph which strongly warned Ger many against submarines sinking pas senger vessels without warning.

Following the accomplishment of the purposes for which the entente is es- tablished the allies will transfer the Macedonia territory to Bulgaria. It is said that the plan only awaits the adhesion of Italy to bring the Bull garians into the war.
 This plan if effected will result in the complete isolation of Greece and decidedly lessens her effectiveness as a factor in the war in the event of the nation deciding to throw it's strength on the side of the eutonic allies as is believed to be the inclination of the ruler.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The news of the Arabic affair came as a distinct shock to the administration officials when it became known at the capital that the vessel was unwarned at the time of the sinking and that there were Americans aboard the ill-fated vessel The disaster is of exactly similar nature to the Lusitania sinking and the failure of the Germans to give warning cannot fail according to the opinions of sev- eral prominent officials, to further com- plicate the differences at present exist ing between the United States and Germany.
 So far the government has taken no official connizance of the fatality but the matter will Undoubtedly be thor oughly investigated.
