TEN MCRE AMERICANS LOSE LIVES
AS A RESULT OF GERMAN SUB
MARINE WAR.
British Freighter Armenian, Loaded
With Mules, Sunk by u.2s.

Washington.-The Dominion freight
liner Armenian. flying the British flag
and carrying mules from Newport
News. Va, to England, was torpedoed
and sunk by the German submarine
UPS off Cornwall, England, and nearly
a score of American muleteers aboard
are lost, according to messages re-
ceived by the state department from
Consul John S. Armstrong, Jr.. at
Bristol. Twenty.nine men we're lost
and ten injured.
The news created sensation in
case of loss of American lives since
the sinking of the Lusitania. The
gravity of the incident, however, and
the action of the Washington govern
ment depends almost entirely on
whether the Armenian was chartered
by the British government and was
in fact a transport of war, aboard
which Americans would sail at their
own risk or whether she was an un-
armed merchantmen. In the latte
case, even though carrying contra
band, the ship should have been sub
jected to visit and search and those
aboard transferred to place of safety
before the destruction of the vessel.
From the messages received It ap-
pears that in addition to the torpedo
at least one shot was fired from a
disappearing rifle. The consul's re-
port said the wireless was taken by
the second shot" 1t was not made
clear whether the Armenian was first
ordered to halt and resisted capture,
requiring a second shot, or whether
the submarine attacked without warn
ing. The fact that the number of the
submarine was given indicated that
she had come to the surface to make
the attack.

MoNTENEeRINs OCCUPY scuTARI
Albanian City Given Up In Balkan
War Again Held BY Nicholas.

Paris.-Descrlbing the occupation Of
Scutari, Albania, by Montenegro
troops, the Rome correspondent OF the
Havas agency, says.
"The general staff Of the troops oe-
cupying Scutari has taken charge OF
the administration Of the city, declar-
ing that citizens must henceforth con-
slider themselves of Montenegro.
Scutari was an object of contention
between Montenegro and the great
powers during the Balkan war. The
Montenegrin forces on April 23, 1918,
captured the city after a seven months
siege. The powers had decided to
include Scutari in the future state Of
Albania and had offered compensa-
tion to King Nicholas and the money
and land on condition that he give up
Scutari. The Montenegrin king an.
nounced that he would hold Scutari
against the powers and as result the
international naval blocake OF the
Montenegrin coast was extended.

for nearly ten days has been cut off
by rail and wire from the outside

fetal quarters concerning conditions
in the old capital and it's vicinity. From
previous dispatches il is known that
the food supply is short and that the
danger of military operations being
carried into the city itself has caused
grave apprehension among foreigners.
Gen. Marcelo Caraveo. Ike Alderete
and Frank Alderete were also arrested
by federal officers in connection with
the lluerta plot and released under
heavy bonds.
The state departments latest ad.
vices regarding the situation are to
the effect that General Carranza is
massing a large number of troops and
expects to take the city within two or
three days. He has isued instructions
to protect non-combatants.
Officials were gratifed with press
dispatches indicating that the diplo-
matte corps was active in trying to ar.
range for the safety of foreigners in
case of fighting in the city. and for the
protection of private property in tie

only Chicago materials. The offer was
rejected.
Failure of the carpenters and con-
tractors to agree on terms of arbitra-

threat to shut down, throwing 200 900
employees out OF work. in addition to
the 10000 carpenters who have been
on strike for two months.

men for the committee of manufacture
ers he said:

capital and labor to force arbitration
in all disputes has arrived. We are de-
termined to stick by the principle Of
arbitration which the carpenters have
stood out against"
The carpenters offered to accept the
65 cent rate on a three years contract,
II the contractors would eliminate the
rule governing the importation of build.
ing material. This rule permits the
purchase of building material in any

fact that different wage scales obtain
