TWO AMERICANS LOST THEIR LIVES
 0N LINER ARABIC
FOrty-Five Known Lost in Submarine Tragedy and Nine Others Are
 Missing

London, August 20.-(11:50 p. m.) At least five passengers, tive of them Americans, and 40 members of the crew lost their lives when the White Star liner Arabic was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine off Fastnet yesterday morning. Nine other passengers are missing and are believed to have perished.
 The two Americans lost were Mrs. Jo- sephne Brugiere of New York and Ed mund T. Woods. Mrs. Bruguiere was thrown into the water and was kept afloat for sometime by her son Louis, who was forced to relinquish his hold when he was struck by piece of wreck age. Nothing was seen of Woods after the steamer was struck.
 Most of the missing members of the crew belonged to the engineers staff. They remained at their posts and went down with the ship.
 Captain Finch and the other officers of the Arabic assert that the submarine gave them no warning. They declare the torpedo was fired as they were going to the rescue of the steamer Dunsley. which had just been torpedoed.
 Discipline
 That the loss of life was not much heavier was due to the preparations made by the officers on entering the war zone. to the fine weather and to the. splendid discipline maintained by the crew. Life belts had been placed on the decks and the lifeboats swung out. A s soon as the ship was struck rafts were flung over the side. Many persons thrown into the water were saved by climbing on these rafts
 The Americans who reached Queens town were cared for by the United States consul. With the other passengers they left Ireland for England tonight. They lost all their baggage and many of them wore borrowed clothing until the consul had provided for them.
 The Arabic carried 2S31 bags of mall. mostly for the United States. The mail included several hundred bags from Swe- den, Norway. Holland. Switzerland, Spain and other countries.
 The Arabic was one of II British steam CTS sunk during the last AS hours. four being reported yesterday and seven to- day. It was reported tonight that the Bowie of the White Star line also had been sunk, but that later was denied. Three Norwegian and one Spanish steam CT engaged in trade with England also were sent to the bottom.
 Previous dispatches from London have announced positively the sinking of only 10 British steamers in the past two days. It is possible the Dunsley Is the eleventh, although there still seems to be some doubt as to whether this vessel went down after being torpedoed.
