Lo~ppN. Aug. 2i.-The British Gov
.rument gave its authority to-day to a
abatement that the Arabic was not under
convoy when she was torpedoed.
Reports that more than two Ameri-
cans were lost were c~ontradicted to-day
by the United states Consul at Queens
town. who reports that after checking up
all the available lists the only Ameri-
cans missing are Mrs. Josephine S.

THE SUNS correspondent is informed
that the point is raised in dispatches
from the United States whether the
Arabic tried to ram the submarine. The
Admiralty has not yet received an official
report Of the ~torpedoing. but official cir
cles wholly discredit such a contention.
Capt. Finch's statement. which is
corroborated by the independent testi-
mony OF all the survivors, that none of
them saw the submarine is considered a
sufficient answer as II Is Impossible to

cav the torpedo when 1t struck the
vessel. He said II exploded. then jumped
back into the water like a porpoise.
But Calmon with the others is insistent
that the submarine was invisible.
The prevailing view among English
and Americans here Is that the sinking
OF the Arabic constitutes an answer to
the American note to Germany. Others
designate II as a mad dog act. a
demonstration of Admiral Won Tirpitz's
thorough domination OF the German war
policy and his determination to sink any
thing within Germany's proclaimed war
zone.
Every personal story of the Arabic
Disaster confirms the earlier statements

o. S. TO MAKE SURVEY HERE
This County Second To Be Used For
Census OF This Nature.

1t is practically assured that the
United States government will make
a medical survey of the school chill
dren of Frederick county this year.
Frederick county will be the second
county in the United States tc be
used for a census of this nature which
has been found to be very effective
under the scheme carried out by the
government physicians.
This work will be conducted with
out expense to the county, and
through the cooperation of the Fred
eriek County Medical Society. Dr.
Fulton, of the State Board of Health,
is very much interested in the work
The survey is to be conducted at the
suggestion of the State Board of Eu-
cation.
The survey will cover the health
conditions of children and the santa
ton of school buildings from every
conceivable angle. The children will
be examined for eye, ear, throat and
other physical defects. The system
used by the government is not at all
offensive to the children, the bodies
of the children not being exposed dur
ing the examination. 1t is said that
parents of the other county surveyed
are very much pleased with the pro-
cedure of the physicians.
Next to the health of the children
the sanitation of buildings is import
ant A careful examination of the
buildings, with reference to light, ven
tilation and heat will be made. A re-
port of this survey will be converted
into book form by the government u
distributed.
There is every reason to believe
that Frederick county will show up
we'll during this survey. Health con-
ditions in this county have made a
