RUSSIANS MAY MAKE MOSCOW CAPITAL

LONDON, August 20.-As the Aus

ability of removing the government to
its ancient seat at Moscow, always
considered the heart of the nation.
Kovno is now definitely in the hands OF

During the morning there was
street pageant with nearly 100 floats
and decorated vehicles illustrative of
the old and new methods of industry
and education.
The important feature of the day
was the unveiling Of the Hannah Han

with invocation by Rev j. C. Haigh.
followed by an address of welcome by
Mrs. Henry w Dutton, chairman of
the Royalton Historical association. The
principal address was by Congressman
Frank l.. Greene. The dedicatorv ad-
dress was by Rev. Levi Wilde, who
made the memorial a possibility by Civ
ing the association $500 During Mr..
Wilde S remarks lie paid high trib-
ute to Mrs. Evelyn Wood Loveiov of
this town, who wrote the history of
Royalton, and who has been very ac-
tive in erecting the memorial.
The unveiling was by Miss Harriet

iority Of the German squadron.
The landing of British troops at Suv-
Ia bay, Gallipoli peninsula, is regarded
here as a partial disappointment The
Turks had concentrated their forces in
the Anzac zone little to the south,
but were able to send troops north in
time to prevent any important advance
of the landing forces.
1t is believed here that no forward
movement of consequence is likely un-
less the British are reinforced.
Italy and Turkey appear to be on the
brink of an open rupture. The Italian
public expects war which would give
their army and navy an opportunity to
cooperate with the allies in the Dar-
danelles movement On the western
front the French now hold the erossroad
between Lens and Arras, which, when
in possession of the Germans formed
wedge in the allied lines.

TWO AMERICANS
AMONG MISSING
About 20 Lives Lost in Sinking of the White Star
Liner Arabic Officers and Crew Displayed
Great Courage in Performing Their Duty the
Firemen Facing Certain Death

LONDON, August 20-The best in
formation now available indicates that
score or more persons lost their lives
in the sinking of the White Star liner
Arabic by a German submarine yester-
day morning off the south coast of Ire
land.
Thus far it has not been determined
definitely whether any Americans are
among the dead. Dr. Edmund Wood of
Janesville, Wis, and Mrs. Josephine L..
Bruguiere, an American who had lived
in Europe some years, are missing.
The line announced this morning that
all but eight of the passengers had been
landed at Queenstown. -Four We're said
to be Americans. According to infor-
nation cabled to Washington by Lewis
Thompson, American consul at Queens
town, however, DIR. Wood and Mrs Bur
guiere are the only missing Americans.
The other two, James Houlihan of
Philadelphia and Thomas Elmore of
New York, were reported by Mr..
Thompson to have been saved.
In all about 400 of the 423 persons
on board the Arabic have been account
ed for The fate of the others is still
in doubt, but as the hours lengthen
since the Arabit met with swift de-
struction hopes that others may have
been saved are fading
The announcement that all but eight
were saved bore out the earlier reports
that the great majority of the missing
were members of the crew.
Capt William Finch Of the Arabic
gave testimony to the heroism of his
engineers and firemen, several of whom
remained at their posts to the st to
insure the safety of passengers and
probably sacrificed their lives.
Other survivors say that the torpedo
which rent the Arabic 5 hull killed out,
right several men in the boiler room.
The torpedo struck on the starboard
side about 100 feet from the stern near
the location of the boiler room.
The torpedoing of the Arabic has
stirred England from end to end, al
though on account of the comparatively
small loss of life public feeling does
not show signs of running as high as
in the days following the sinking OF
the Lusitania.
That such large proportion of pas

sengers and crew should have been
saved in the short time available for
the work of rescue is regarded as bet
ter fortune than might have been ex-
pected under the circumstances Ap-
parently it was due to the GOODNESS and
the courage of the officers and crew,
from Capt. Finch, who remained at his
post until just before the Arabic took
her final plunge, down to the firemen
who faced certain death to perform
their duty. Fine weather and calm
sea also contributed to the outcome.
In Queenstown everything possible
was done today to assist the survivors,
many of whom were without clothes or
money.
As in the case of the Lusitania dis
aster the citizens Of Queenstown came
to the assistance of the sufferers and
none went without clothing, food and
shelter.
number of the survivors are suffer-
ing from minor injuries, but SO far as
IS known none are in a serious condi-
ton.
+ With the main facts Of the disaster
established the English public turned its
attention to the possible effect of it on
the relations between United States and
Germany.
Definite word whether American
lives had been lost was awaited with
more eagerness than any other detail
of the Arabic S story yet to be told
Either shortly before, or just after
the Arabic was destroyed, the British
steamer Dunsley was torpedoed, pre-
sumably by the same submarine that
sank the Arabic. The shot fred at the
Dunsley, however, did not take such
good effect and the steamer was able
to proceed slowly under her own steam.
The Dunsley stood by the Arabic and
helped to pick up her passengers. The
Dunsley, a vessel of 5000 tons gross,
left Liverpool Wednesday, as did the
Arabic.
The only official despatch on the
Arabic received today was from Am
bassador Page at London. 1t said
his information based on reports of the
White Star line was that the ship was
torpedoed without warning. 1t made
no mention of the two Americans still
unaccounted for.

BRITISH WARSHIPS
SUNK IN BATTLE
Modern Cruiser and Destroyer Reported
Lost in Fight with Germans OF
Jutland

BERLIN, Aug. 20.-A naval engage

Tuesday between five German torpedo
boats and a small modern British cruis-
er and eight British torpedo boat de-
stroyers, in which the Germans sank
the cruiser and one destroyer, is re-

The statement also asserts that the
zeppelin raid on London Tuesday night
had "'good results The statement
follows:
On August II at 2 o'clock five boats
of one of our torpedo boat fotiIlas at

LONDON PRESS ASKS
WHAT WE WILL Do
Sinking of the Arabic Definite Chal-
1enge to Neutrals, Says the
Daily News.

LONDON, Aug. 20. - Comments in
the London papers on the sinking of
the Arabic show special interest as to
what the United States will do about
the attack.
The Daily News says: cit is a def
mite challenge to neutrals, and it does
not stand alone. The Selling of the
Norwegian mails, which aroused great
and natural indignation in Norway, is
merely another illustration on a small
er scale of the entirely unlimited rights
which Germany is arrogating to her
self over all neutral commerce.
The defense put forward is, as in
the case of Belgium, simply Germany s
necessities. As in the case of Belgium.
it is an entirely false defense, even on
its very slender merits. 1t is now cer-
tain that the defense of Germany in
no sense required the invasion of Bel
gium, and it is equally certain that the
balance of sea power against her is in
no degree redressed by her submarine
outrages.
"'But the doctrine itself is one which,
if pushed to its practical conclusions,
the neutral world cannot afford to toll
crate. No state has the right to set its
own convenience above the elementary
rights of all the rest of the world.
The theory may provoke nothing but
protests, but an attempt is made to
enforce it, and to enforce it as Ger
many is doing, with a total disregard
TO human life and human feelings, the
ultimate result can only be to proclaim
the authors of such q policy as com
mon enemies Of mankind.
. President Wilson IS warning at the
end of last month IS quite explicit He
told the German government that
Repetition by the commanders Of Ger
man naval vessels Of acts in contraven-
tion of neutral rights would be re-
garded at Washington, when they af-
feeted American subjects, as deliberately
unfriendly. The cup is overlooking.
The Daily Chronicle says:
We await with interest the action
which the American government will
take in the face of this new challenge
to peaceful seaborne traffic.

Faniliea Opposed.

Thereby hangs the tale of an elopement
romantic enough to charm the most satiat
led reader of summer fiction
For years the wealthy families of Champ
ney from New York city and Kayser from
Boston have spent the summer months on
their country estates in New Ipswich, n
H., which is just across the Massachusetts
line, l. miles north of Fitchburg.
Long ago when Bob" Kayser was Bob
bic and Edith had tousled golden curls,
the two looked into each others eyes and
saw great possibilities in the future They
fell in love and they knew it, but the MEM
bers of the two families were none too
cordial toward each other, and both sets
of parents objected strenuously to the
match.
Last Sunday morning a big automobile
whIrlcd into the quiet town of New Ips-
witch, and IN it were Bob" kayser and
Edith Champney He is now 26 and she
lis II. For several years their love affair
has been more or less forced into the back
ground, but it has been there all the time.
They dashed up to the Champney home,
rushed in and said Mother, we're 60
ing to be married-now-today Mrs
Champney tainted dead away.
Head for Brattleboro.
Out of the house and into the car almost
before the dust of their arrival had settled,
the two, with their accommodating wit
ness, young man from Boston, whirled
away to the nearby Kayser home. There
the same bulletin was announced and the
car sped away again toward the north.
Fifty miles away was Brattleboro and a
town clerk who did not have to demand
five days delay in marrying two people
very much in love. Once they stopped in
another town, but the New Hampshire
law prevented haste
Once in Brattleboro, Town Clerk c. S.
Hopkins was found and entieed to leave
| his Sunday dinner to perform the cere-
mony
1 Have you your mothers consent." he
questioned of Miss Champney. She said
tshe had and the matter was settled by
itelephone. Mrs. Champney could not say
| Ianything else but yes
] Yesterday the bridal car came snorting
back into town with the cut-out open wide
/ in joyful triumph, and the townspeople
did everything but cheer when the good
news became nosied abroad The new Mrs
Kayser stopped off with her mother and
her young husband came back to Boston
to prepare fat for the me-coming OF
his bride
Sympathy in the little town is entirely
with Bob and Edith-that is Mr.. and Mrs
Robert Barr Kayser.
