BRITISH ADMIRALTY SILENT
WithhoIds News Of Destroying Ger
man Submarine.

London, Sept. 2.-The admiralty has
given out no information concerning
the fate of the German submarine
which sank the Arabic. Whether such
information is in it's possession is un-
known, as it is the policy of the ad-
miralty to withhold news of this char
acter
Unofficial reports that the subma~
rine has been sunk are being circu-
lated widely. 1t is said that the craft
attempted to torpedo the British
Steamer Nicosian, which arrived at
Liverpool from New Orleans Aug. 2s.
five days after the Arabic went down.
According to this account the NicU-.
sian escaped and the submarine, while.
attempting to sink 1t, fell q victim to
q patrol boat.
In Liverpool the report is current
that the submarine has been capt3r-
ed and not sunk. As.sss.

RUSSIAN LOSSES ENORMOUS.
German War Office Complies Est'-
mate Since May 2.

Berlin, Sept. 2.-An official review
OF the eastern campaign, as given out
here by the Overseas News agency
estimates that since May 2 the Rus
slams have lost at least 100000 men
in killed or wounded and 1,10O,O0M
men captured by the Germans.
The announcement from the Over
seas agency Is as follows:
General army headquarters pub
fishes a review of the results of Of
fensive movements in Poland and
Russia since May 2, beginning with
the battle at Gorlice. Army head
quarters estimates the strength Of the
Russian troops which were then d.
rectly engaged in that region as
about 100000. In the fighting since
May 2 100000 have been captured
and a minimum of 100000 wounded or
killed
This is a very conservative esti-
mate. The actual figures are surely
much higher, because the Russians
saved artillery by recklessly sacri-
ficing their infantry"

ADMIRES PRESIDENT WILSON
Berlin Paper Publishes Article Very
Friendly in Tone.

Berlin, Sept. 2.-The National lei
tung publishes leading article under
the heading Wilson, Bryan and
Roosevelt" which is noteworthy for
its friendly tone and for the ungrudg
ing admiration expressed for Prem
dent wilson.
The article begins by saying thae
discussions of the Arabic affair have,
been in a quieter tone since Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa,
dor at Washington, presented his re-
quest to the American government to-
delay action until Germany had had
the opportunity of presenting it's side
of the case. Even the anti-German
newspapers admitted the justice of
this request, the article says, and
there remains no obstacle to friendly
discussions of differences which, while
real, are by no means Of such ma
ture as to prevent satisfactory COM
promise.

FIVE |. ". ". MEN BROUGHT
TO COUNTY JAIL
CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
WITH DANGEROUS WEAPON

Monday night number Of tran
sients ware arrested at Courtenay
charged with assault with danger
Gus weapon on the person of a brake
man in a freight crew on the 500
road States Attorney Chase and
Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald were in
Courtenay Tuesday, where hear
rng was held before Justice Cox and
all five of the men were bound over
for trial at the district court. They
were brought to jamestown last
night and given in charge Of the
sheriff.
During the hearing before Justice
Cox it developed that the men
claimed to be committee represent
ing the l. w. w. sent out to protect
harvesters and threshers who are
members of the organization from
attacks of professional holdup men.
1t also developed that the committee
claimed to be after" certain rail-
road brakeman who, it was alleged
by them, had killed one Of their
number by putting him off a train
some time ago.
Each man was put under $500
bonds, four of the number on the
charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon and one charged with carry
ing a concealed weapon. Each man
was we'll armed and three flashlights
were found on them.
1t is charged that the men threat
ened the life of the brakeman when
they were ordered to leave freight
train at Courtenay and drew guns
upon him, refusing to leave the
train.
Holdup at Kensal.
Monday night the agent of the
railroad company at Kensal was
held up at the depot and relieved of
about $35 in money and an SIS gun.
On the same night the village watch
man at Wimbledon was shot in the
forehead by an unknown person, the
bullet inflicting scalp wound,
glancing along the skull but doing no
serious injury. 1t is possible that
the men arrested at Courtenay may
have had something to do with the
Wimbledon affair and the officials of
Valley City are trying to find out the
facts.
1t is reported that another holdup
occurred at Rogers on the same
night.
