ing a Great Sea Horror-Many
Passengers Bruised.

Queenstown.-No survivor of the
Arabic disaster who was interviewed
here saw the German submarine that
sent the big liner to the bottom, Au-
gust 10, though several said they saw
the U boat that few minutes before
torpedoed the British steamer Duns-
ley, and believed 1t was the same sub.
marine.
They agreed that the Arabic was
sent to the bottom without warning.
Three things, the passengers agreed,
prevented larger loss of life. They
were:
First, that the sea was calm; sec.
ond, that lifeboats had previously been
swung out to meet such an emergency,
and third, that there was no panic and
the crew displayed good discipline in
getting over the boats.
Little Confusion Shown.
From the moment the heavy blow
struck by the torpedo rocked the
steamer with violent explosion until
she sank beneath the waves, there was
little confusion among either passen-
gers Or crew. Men who had passed
through other disasters said that moth
ing impressed them 50 much as the
calm, orderly manner in which the pas
sengers got over the sides within
eleven minutes after the vessel was
struck.
The drowned were in two boats
which capsized almost Immediately
after they struck the water. One Of
them was caught by the liner as she
rolled over in her death plunge. Some
of the occupants struggled to RATS and
chung fast until they were picked up
by other boats. Those that could not
swim went down beneath the waves
rolled by the sinking Arabic. Several
Of the crew, it Is believed certain,
were blown to pieces when the torpedo
plunged into the vessels side.
Many Passengers Bruised.
Many of the survivors landed here
were suffering from severe bruises.
They had been thrown about violently
when the explosion shook the Arabic.
Probably score of women who es-
capped in their night clothing were still
under care of physicians, suffering
from exposure. None of the injured,
1t was believed, will die.
Most Of the passengers were on
deck or at breakfast when we were
struck" said Joseph G. de Lorrimer,
Montreal lawyer and son-in-law of a
former Canadian minister Of marine.
Possibly fifty Of the passengers were
still in their berths.

won and held by the products of the

employees. Modern machinery and
policy of generosity and appreciative

Owatonna is the county seat of
Steele County which for many years
back has shown the greatest produc-
ton of butter and cream for it's area
to be found in the world today. The
population of Owatonna comes to
seven thousand. The city of Owa-
tonna is incorporated and advan-
tageously located on the Straight
river, which derives it's name from the
fact that it is the most crooked river
in existence, yet its general course
is almost straight line. Owatonna
has three railroads with regular daily
service, namely the Chicago, Mllwau-
kee & St. Paul, the Rock Island, and
the Northwestern line. The first two
named roads run we'll nigh parallel
from the Twin Cities down through
Owatonna and afford north and
south service between them which is
practically unbeatable for city OF
this size. The location is about sixty
eight miles south of ST. Paul and
ninety miles west of Winona. One OF
the most all around, richest and sub
stantial agricultural districts and
dairy districts in the United States
surrounds this city. The farmers are
proverbially we'll to do. and while
nearly all of them are independent as
a result of the increase in land prices
during the past half dozen years, the
majority were we'll to do prior to this
increase, and it is practically impos-
