ADMIREs CAMP 0RDwAY.
R, P. Andrews of Retail Merchants

committee of the merchants assocla-
ton. recently visited Camp Ordway at
Colonial Beach. Va.
Mr.. Andrews letter follows. In part:
I'm the opinion of the committee, in
dividualiy and collectively, Camp Ord
way is a model of which the District of
Columbia may well be proud. The
thorough inspection which was per-
mitted our committee interested every
one Of us, and If it were possible that
the National Guard needed ardent
friends or we'll wishers you could count
ut is sad that in this age of civil
ization and learning the people OF
any land should have to lean at all
upon the sword to insure the perpetual
ton of national institutions. But that
seems to be the case. and / believe 1t
behooves all our people to give atten-
ton to training in matters military.
that when the need does arise (and
God forbid that it ever shalD we amer e.r-
leans will be prepared to defend our
institutions with honor.
'In the consideration of plans of ma
tional defense I know of none that ap-
peals more readily or directly than the
upbuilding of our National Guard. 1t
it a pleasure to contemplate the very
businesslike manner in which you
have established Camp Ordway and in
which 1t is maintained. The sanitary
arrangements of the camp are such as
appeal to one offhand. They are ad-
mirable.
"Realizing the truth of the axiom
that an army travels on its stomach,
YOU have likewise developed a very
fine commissary. Surely the company
dinner menus that we discovered In
making our rounds would do credit to
a home, not to speak of an army. and
as an educator and promoter Of dis
cipline the National Guard exercises
an invaluable function.
sIn view of all these facts and the
needs of the nation our committee
feels sure that the National Guard of
the District Of Columbia must be on
the eve of a period of unusual de-
velopment'

Berlin Paper Sarcastic
in Referring to Rights
of American Citizens

BERLIN. August 24.-No further de-
tails concerning the sinking of the Arabic
have been published here, and the Berlin
papers refrain from comment upon the
situation resulting from that event.
The newspapers publish what purports
to be brief dispatch to the London Tele-
graph quoting Joseph P. Tumuty. Presi-
dent Wilson's secretary, as saying that
Americans are unitedly with the Presi-
dent, and WILL if necessary. offer their
lives to maintain the inalienable rights of
Americans on land and sea.
The Kreuz Zeitung says: These inalien-
able rights as known consist Of using
British passenger steamers
Several papers publish the Arabic's
manifest on trip from New York to
tanned in a report of the German
American Chamber of Commerce of
New York: This report says that the
Arabic, which was painted like a bat
angels aboard" The Lokal Anzeiger
says that this report shows that the
ARABIC was equipped for battle. and
therefore not to be considered a
harmless merchantmen.
The Tages Zeitung heads the Lon
don Telegraph dispatch with the line,
wilson's Secretary Threatens"
Contradiction Is Cited.
Naval circles call atteion to re-
markable contradiction in the English
press reports regarding the Arabic"
says the Overseas News Agency. in an
item just given out for transmission.
One report says that the passengers
and crew received life belts when the
steamer entered the danger zone. This
statement is declared to be nom
sensical, because, it is pointed out. a
vessel leaving Liverpool is at once in
the danger zone. However. the dis
tribution of life belts, it is argued, ad-
er's captain, obeying admiralty orders
and spurred on by high money re-
ward, intended to ram the submarine
as soon as 1t was sighted.
"Other reports state explicitly that no
submarine or torpedo was sighted, per-
struck a loose mine, all this showing
the necessity for awaiting the official
report.
torially:
"If it is true that a German sub
marine destroyed the Arabic and that
American citizens thereby were acct
dentally drowned. this is fresh justi-
f1cation OF German warnings to for
eigners not to enter the war zone on
board British ships. and OF Germany's
advice that they use neutral ships in
stead.
at is extremely regrettable,' the
Tages Zeitung adds, that the United
States has entirely disregarded Ger
to cause Germany to give up submarine
warfare, which is an impossibility.
This doubtless is the unanimous senti-
ment of the German nation.

the explosion is perfectly absurd. i
repeat that there was only one thing
that sent the Arabic to the bottom.
That was a torpedo. which left a clear
white mark in the water 800 yards in
length"
Capt. Finch was seen at his home in
Liverpool, where he had just arrived
from Queenstown for conference with
the officials of the White Star line.
Before making his statement he laughed
heartily at the reported claim of some
of the German officials that a British
mine might have sunk the Arabic.

Not the Slightest Doubt
That Torpedo Destroyed
Arabic, Says Her Captain

LIVERPOOL, August 24.-Capt. Will
liam Finch of the sunken White Star
line steamer Arabic last night gave the
Associated Press statement bearing
on the cabled reports that some German
officials claimed that there was no proof
that the Arabic had been sunk by a
have met with disaster by running into
a British mine.
"There is not the slightest doubt that
the Arabic was sunk by torpedo"
said CAPT, Finch. Neither is there the
slightest doubt that 1t was fired at the
Arabic deliberately. 1t is quite true that
we never saw any submarine or any
made by the passage of the torpedo
through the water-a white streak that
commenced with air bubbles in the
water 900 yards from us at the point
where it was discharged at us.
No. Mistaking Cause.
"There was no installing of the
cause of that white streak. which end
ed in a torpedo entering the ship and
causing the explosion which sank the
vessel. I was not alone in seeing it.
The chief officer. the second officer and
many passengers saw it. No one can
doubt for a moment tnat IL was de-
liberately fred at the Arabic. Those
aboard the submarine evidently saw
us and got into a position ready to
release their torpedo.
'The fact that nobody on the Arabic
saw submarine may be easily ex-
niained. Those in command of it could
submerge and leave only a small por-
tion of the periscope showing above
the water When the missile was sent
at us under such circumstances it
would be impossible for those on the
Arabic to see either the submarine or
the periscope.
Calls Statement Absurd.

ARABIC AFF|DAV|TS'
CABLED TO THE U. S.
Statements of Americans Said
to Give All Details Available
as to Ships Sinking.
is DEFINITELY STATED
TORPEDO HIT VESSEL
Important Testimony as to This
Point Is Given by the
Dunsley's Crew.

LONDON, August 24.-Oficial and un-
official statements have been made
bearing upon the precise status of the
steamer Arabic at the time she was
sunk, the purpose being to show defin-
itely that she was an unoffending mer-
chant ship proceeding on her course,
and that without question she was
struck by a torpedo fred by a German
submarine. The latter point became in
creasingly important owing to cabled
reports from the United States stating
that some Berlin officials maintained
that since there was no proof that any
one aboard the Arabic saw the sub
marine the sinking might have been
the result Of striking a mine.
The foreign office has issued a brief
statement summing up the facts with
In it's knowledge without disclosing all
the details in its possession. The
statement says definitely that the
Arabic was sunk by a German sub
any attempt on the part Of the steamer
to attack the underwater craft or to
escape.
Carried No Contraband.
The announcement also declares that
the Arabic was unarmed and was pro-
ceeding to a neutral port and there
fore carrying no eontraband. This is
considered a summing up of the British
official view Of the essential facts and
as showing the culpability Of the Ger
man submarine in sinking the ship.
The most important direct testimony
came however, from members Of the
crew Of the steamer Duns1ey. who gave
a circumstantial account Of seeing the
German submarine while she shelled
the Dunsley. They declared that dur
Dunsley the underwater boat came so
closely in view that 1t was possible to
note she showed no number or distin-
gushing mark. Later they declared
the submarine submerged and rounded
the Dunsley's stern. showing only her
periscope.
Statements Fill Gaps.
These statements are considered to fill
the gap in the testimony given by Capt.
Finch. the passengers and crew of the
because she was astern Of the Dunsley.
Those aboard the Arabic have declared
they saw the torpedo speeding toward the
ship. and the Dunsley survivors now as
sert the torpedo was fired from a German
submarine they saw maneuvering behind
them.
All the aff1davits made by the Ameri-
can passengers on the Arabic now have
been cabled to the State Department.
These statements give every detail avail
able from American sources. They relate
chiefly to individual experiences. but all
agree that no warning was given. The
approaching torpedo was seen but not the
submarine.
The funerals Of some of the members
of the Arabic's crew whose bodies have
been recovered were held at Queenstown
today. The services were attended by
members of the city council, the Royal
Irish nstabulary, representatives Of the
White Star line and a great crowd Of
citizens.
