feet on Attitude Of United States.

London, Aug. 20.-The best informa-
ton now available indicates that
score or more persons lost their lives in
the sinking Of the Arabic by German
submarine yesterday morning off the
south coast of Ireland. Thus far it has
not been determined definitely whether
any Americans are among the dead.
DR.. Edmund F. Wood, Of Janesville
Wis. and Mrs Josephine S. Bruguiere
an American who had lived in Europe
for some years, are missing.
The White Star line said this morn
ing that all but eight Of the passengers
had been landed at Queenstown. -Four
We're said to be Americans. According
to information cabled to Washington
by Lewis c. Thompson, American con-
sui at Queenstown, however, DR.. Wood
and Mrs. Bruguiere are the only miss
ing Americans. The other two-James
Houlihan, Of Philadelphia, and Thomas
by Mr.. Thompson to have been saved
No Hope For Missing.
In all about 400 of the 423 persons on
of the others is still in doubt, but as
the hours lengthen since the boat went
down. hopes that the others may have
been saved are fading.
The announcement that all but eight
were saved bore out earlier reports
that the majority OF the missing were
OF the crew. Capt. William Finch. Of
the Arabic. gave testimony to the
heroism Of the engineers and flremen.
several Of whom remained at their
posts to the last to insure the safety
Of the passengers, and probably sacri-
feed their lives. Others survivors say
that the torpedo which rent the Ara
bic's hull killed outright several men in
the boiler rooms. The torpedo struck
on the starboard side about one hum
dred feet from the stern near the boil
er rooms.
Torpedoing Stirs England.
The torpedoing of~the Arabic has
stirred England. That such large
proportion of the passengers and crew
should have been saved In the short
time available for the work OF rescue
Is regarded as better fortune than
might have been expected under the
circumstances. Apparently it was due
to the coolness and courage Of the Of
ficers and crew. Fine weather and a
calm sea also contributed to the out
come.
In Queenstown everything was done
today to assist the survivors, many Of
whom were without clothes or money.
A number of them are suffering from
minor injuries, but so far as is known
none is in in serious condition.
With the main facts Of the disaster
established, the English public turned
its attention to the effect on relations
between the United States and
Germany.
Only Two Americans Lost.
1t has now been definitely estab-
lished, the White Star line said this
afternoon, that only two Americans on
the Arabic are unaccounted for. These
are DR.. Edmond F. Wood and either
Mrs. Josephine Bruguiere or Louis
Bruguiere. The name Of Louis Bru-
guiere appears on the American em-
bassy list of the dead.
