and later were rescued. One woman
vi fell into tne sea screamed pitiful
ly for help. Two sailors swan to her
and lifted her onto the raft.
Among those rescued were Capt.
Will Finch, commander of the Arabic,
all the deck officers, the chief engineer,
the surgeon, tie purser, the assistant
purser, the chief steward and the
third-class steward. Third Engineer
Lugon is among the missing.
One passenger was Kenneth Doug
las. the English actor. He was on the
Lusitania WI. en- sne was sent to the
bottom. His good luck followed him
again today, for he is among the sur
vivors.
News of the sinking of the Arabic
caused tremendous sensation in
London. The first reports stated that
it was feared a large number Of the
passengers had been lost. Reassuring
news came shortly, however. 1t was
that some fifteen or sixteen boats and
life RATS had left the steamer safely
and had been licked up and were be-
ing towed in to Queenstown. Later
private telegrams brought the news
from most of the passengers that they
were safe although some were in
jured.
Tie Arabic is the largest vessel yet
sunk by the Germans except the Lusi-
tania.
Had Had Close Calls
The Arabic is listed as Of 15,S01
gross tons and 10,O62 net, 600 feet long,
So feet beam and Al feet in depth. She
was built in Belfast in 1903 by Harland
& Wolff.
On her last eastward trip the Ara
bic arrived in Liverpool on August 6
from New York.
After the receipt of {. cablegram an
nouncing ner safe arrival the bureau
of combustib4os of New York City al
lowed the fact to become known that
two sticks of dynamite had been dis
covered on the liner on July 27, the
night before she sailed from New
York.
Once before since the beginning Of
the war the Arabic had close call.
A cable message from London on
March 27 said the steamer had been
pursued by a German submarine in
the Irish Sea, on the voyage which
ended on that day. According to this
account periscepe was sighted as the
steamer vent in from St. Georges
channel, and it was soon obvious
tat a hostile submarine was in pur-
suit. The Arabic put on full steam
and outdistanced the submarine.
On the occasion of the apparent at
tempt to dynamite the Arabic last
month the explosive, which was dis
covered by a private detective, was
concealed under a settee in the wo-
mems parlor amidships. No fuse, de-
tonator or wiring was atta6 ed to the
dynamite.

Greatest on Record.


"This surplus reserve, it is esitimat-
ed, is sufficient to justify, on a con-
servative basis, an expansion of credit
or further Ioaning power of, say, two
or three billion dollars. The present
total loans of all the national banks
amount to about six and two-thirds
billion dollars. A year ago the surplus
reserve of the national banks was only
S41,0O0,O00; so t3at the increase over
the surplus reserve shown year ago
is s737 100000.
"The total reserve of the national

greatest reserve ever held by national

Loss of Life Not Great.

Details of the sinking OF the Araolc
are lacking, but that the loss Of life
was not greater doubtless was due to
the fact that the weather was fine, and
that steamers plying the German sub
marine war zone now keep their boats
swung out.
The torpedo that sank the Arabic
struck Fer on the starboard side 100
feet from her stern. The vessel had
left Liverpool Wednesday afternoon
and was on southerly course, well
off the Irish coast.
Wien the vessel was some fifty miles
west of where the Lusitania was sunk
in May, the German underwater boat
rose to tie surface and launched a
torpedo. The craftsmanship of the
Germans was deadly accurate and the
big liner settled quickly and disap-
peared from view.
Some survivors, according to re-
ports, say that they had just witnessed
the torpedoing of British steamer,
presumably the Dunsley, and that this
had caused great alarm on board the
Arabic. In their fright the passengers
had rushed for life preservers and
barely had adjusted them wren the
German submarine turned its torpedo
against the Arabic's side.
