Gernans capture eieIsk.

Berlin, via London, Aug. 21.-The
Germans have captured the Russian
town Of Bielsk, twenty-five miles south
Of Bialystolz, and have driven the Rus
slams over the Beiala river, according
to an official announcement given out
today by the army headquarters staff
of Germany.
In the course Of the debate in the
reichstag DR.. Eduard David, the So
cialist leader said:
There lives in the hearts Of the
German people, as in all other people,
longing for the day Of restoration of
peace 1t were i'll for humanity if it
were otherwise. The European people
are bleeding from thousands Of wounds.
Every day the war means further
frightful destruction of value.
Therefore, I point again today to
the declaration which our party made
in the reichstag. We adhered to the
principle declared on Aug. 4. 1914, that
an end must be made to the war as
soon as the enemies are inclined to
make peace. Lust for conquest must
not prolong the war unnecessarily"

STOCK MARKET UNSETTLED.
Fear Of Complications With Germany
Causes Lower Prices.

New York. Aug. 21.--The possibility
noted in high banking circles that the
existing relations with Germany may
necessitate the fiotation of n large do
mestic loan to meet possible emergen-
cies caused farther unsettlement in the
stock market today.
At the outset only the specialties
were affected, but later when it be-
came known that the Arabic had not
been under convoy the lists began to
weaken on heavy offerings of standard
shares.
Losses Of two to three points regis
tered In Union Pacific, Reading and
United States Steel which fell a
point to 72A in the early dealing, and
soon declined to II.
Steel. Union Pacific and Reading
were among the many important
shares which fell to the lowest level
Of the week. steel losing 3A to 81 at
70A. while Union Pacifics loss at
l27M was three points and Readings
at 146h was two points.
War stocks suffered with recessions
Of three to eleven points.

Course Makes No Difference.
Some of the earlier press reports
stated that the passengers on the Ara
bic had just witnessed the torpedo
ing Of the British steamer Dunsley,
and that the Arabic had swung about
in its course to go to the aid Of the
Dunsley when it was fired upon.
This official, who expressed what
is regarded here as the attitude of the
United States in the situation, was
asked If this would alter the case in
SO far as Germany is concerned.
"Not in the slightest" he said. "un-
less the submarine commander had
signaled the Arabic to stop and the
vessel had continued toward him IN
an effort to run him down.
"The mere fact that the Arabic was
proceeding in his direction, even If for
the purpose Of assisting a ship which
he was destroying. did not justify his
act unless he first warned the liner
and it failed to heed it."
This was the first indication from
any official source that Germany
would have an opportunity to give the
reason for the attack, apparently in
disregard Of President Wilson's SOL
emn warning that such an act would
be regarded as deliberately un-
friendly"
The state departments attitude is
that if the German government has
any facts which in its opinion would
go to mitigate the circumstances Of
the attack the Berlin foreign office
should have opportunity to present
them.
Would 81 Excused"
Today's announcement, moreover,
indicates that before President Will
son takes any action there may be
some exchange of diplomatic commu-
nication. It is understood that the
state departments policy is to show
the utmost deliberation consistent
with the delicate question and to omit
opportunity Of avoidingea a severance Of
relations with Germany so long as
there is reasonable expectation that
a sufficient excuse can be given for
the sinking Of the Arabic.
Altho it has been reported that the
German embassy had evidence that
Captain Finch, of the Arabic, had
been warned and attempted to escape
before the torpedo was discharged, it
was said at the state department that
no further information of that kind
had been received from the German
embassy or from any other official
quarters.
Vice Consul Thompson at Queens
town this morning confirmed the
White Star statement that 1t has been
determined definitely that only two
Americans were lost. It was the first
official agreement on American losses.

hoHuOn, aug. 2l.@The Russian field
army is fighting desperately but vainly
to check the onrush Of the Germans
and Austrians. Novogeorgievsk, the last
Polish fortress to hold out, has fallen
Ossowetz, to the north of Poland, has
resisted the invaders thus far only be-
cause of the narshy nature of the sur
rounding country, which prevents the
Germans from using their heavy guns
effectively.
South Of Brest-Litovsk, Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen's forces have
penetrated far beyond the river Bug.
Other German armies east of that river
render serious Russian defense along
the Bialystok- k-Brest-Litovsk line vir-
tually impossible.
Naval Battle in Baltic.
A mysterious naval battle in the quit
OF Riga was still in progress at the
time Of tho latest report from Petro-
grad, which. however. gave no details
as to the magnitude Of the action.
Along the other fronts no important
changes are recorded with the excep-
ton Of the French admission Of in
ability to hold the Lens-Arras cross
roads recently captured.
The diplomatic problem in the near
east has been brought appreciably
nearer solution by the formation OF
q Greek ministry under the premier
ship Of NJ. Venizelos. and the indication
that the uncompromising attitude of
the military faction in Serbia against
Bulgaria's claims is being broken down.
The correspondent at Rome of the
Exchange Telegraph Company says
that the Italian note is in the. nature
Of an .ultimatum and that the nature OF
the reply OF the porte is expected to-
day.
Submarines Withdraw.
After forty eight hours Of unusual
activity, resulting in heavy toll Of
merchantmen travelling the naval war
zone, German submarines have been
withdrawn to their bases. Belief Is ex-
pressed that the White Star liner Bowie
is safely in port. It is now definitely
established that only two Americans
who were passengers on the Arabic are
missing.
Russians Wing Zeppelin.
Russian gunners have brought down
a Zeppelin that was coming to Wilma,
according to a dispatch to the Reuters
