SUBMARINE WHICH
SANK ARABIC IS
ON OCEAN FLOOR?

BERLIN via London, Aug. 81.
G:5O D. mD-The German ad-
miralty today advanced athe sug-
gestiOn that the submarine which
may have tOrpedOed the steamer
Arabic possibly had fOundcred or
had been sunk by the British. A
high official of the admiralty in
again declaring that absolutely no
news on the sinking Of the Arabic
was available said:
would it not be lamentable
if the submarine should have
been lost and we should never
learn what happened? Soon
after the Arabic sank | said we
should i'm all probability have the
details by the end Of August or
early in September at the latest
Most Of our boats which were on
the west coast Of England at the
time have returned, but none so
far know anything about the
Arabic.
1T probably will be possible
within a very short time can
not say precisely how many days
to tell whether our apprehen-
sions regarding the submarine
are correct"
The official would not say
whether one or more Of the sub
marines in question were out nor
how long any one vessel had been
away from its base. but stated
suggestively:
"They seldom remain out longer
than three weeks and we usually
get a report on any torpedOing
operations in from eight to four
teen days-rarely later than
fortnight after the occurrence.

phoned to the police and a search was
begun. At II o'clock, two hours pfter

lice. When he was told he opened his
store and the detectives heard q baby's
wall. The wall was from Mrs. Ander-
sons baby.
Sikinsky explained that he owned q
carriage similar to that of Mrs. Ander-

front of his store he thought il was
his. and without looking 10 see II IL

and went to motion picture show.
