Gar Mas Assumed Command OF all
Russian Land and Sea Force
Is Report from Pstrourad
CONCERTED ALLY MOVEMENT
In a Note TO State Department, Ger
many Admits Sinking Arabic,
But Has Good Excuse

The transfer of the Grand Duke
Nicholas to the Causasus and the as
sumption by the Russian emperor OF
command of all his land and sea
forces, has caused surprise among
the allied nations, but the opinion ex-
pressed that the emperor is merely
following Russian traditions and that
he Russian troops will give a better
account of themselves in the know
ledge that the Little Father" is per-
sonaily directing them.
The commander of the under wat =
or boat that was responsible for the
Arabic disaster has made n belated
return to his base and reported. In
extenuation Of his act in having the
liner fired upon, the commander de-
clare that while the submarine was
sinking n freighter, probably the Brit =
ish steamer Dunsiey, the Arabic
swung around and headed for the
scene as if to attack or ram the sub
marine and that hefired in self de
fcnse.
Germany has also spoken official
ly concerning the sinking of the Al
Ian line steamer Hesperian. In a
message to Ambassador Won Bern
stoff, the German foreign office says
that according to information avail
able in Berlin it appears improb-
able that the Hesperian was torped-
oed and that it is much more likely
that the boat ran into mine.
