a German submarine about five miles
off Fastnet The big $4,000 ton liner
was sent to the bottom about go miles
from the spot where the Lusitania was

clared the Arabic 5 l75 passengers and

but later reports said some were be.
Ilieved to have been lost. The Arabic g
crew numbered 260 men. whether
those reported TO have persisted were

not stated
The Arabic left Liverpool yesterday
Afternoon bound for New York. II was
consequently declared in naval circles
that the liner could not have been sus.

Of the fact that sue was headed away
from the war zone and en- route to n

The Arabic was sunk at 0lj this
morning. She went to- the bottom with.

Germans torpedo.
Eleven boats wor9 put over the side

possible to learn how many, IL any, pas.

determined whether the sinking Of The
