LINER ARABIC T0RPED0ED
BY GERMANS; 39| RESCUED
NEWS SHOCK 70 WASHINGTON
ARABIC DISASTER RECALLS LAST
NOTE TO GERMANY.
Torpedoing Without Warning Of Ves-
eel Carrying Americans Regard
as deliberately UnfriendIy."

Washington, Aug. 21.-News of the
torpedoing Of the Arabic with Ameri-
cans on board came as shock to gov
eminent officials who had hoped since
the dispatch Of the last American note
there would be no further aggravation
OF an already tense situation between
the United States and Germany. While
1t was recognized that a canvass of the
survivors might reveal that no Ameri-
can lives were lost, the torpedoing
without warning of vessel carrying
Americans has in itself been pronounce
ed by the United States government as
a violation of it's rights which if re-
peated would be regarded as Delhi
erately unfriendly"
Considered UnfriendIy Act.
In the last note to Germany, which
1t was generally accepted was the
final word on the principles of the
question from the United States, Sec
rotary Lansing used the following
language in referring to violations of
American rights in the war zone:
"Friendship itself prompts it (The
United States Government to say to
the Imperial German government that
repetition by the commanders of Ger
man naval vessels of acts in contra
vention Of those rights must be re-
garded by the government of the Unit
ed States, when they affect American
citizens, as deliberately unfriendly.'
What the course of the United
States would be no official would pre-
dict, because of the absence of de-
tailed information. 1t must be estab-
lished authoritatively whether any
warning was given. and whether the
vessel attempted to escape. If no
American lives were lost it was
thought in most quarters that drastic
steps were improbable, but in the
event it is found Americans were
drowned, a rupture in diplomatic re-
lations was everywhere discussed as
likely.

was on the way to New York, was tor
pedoed and sunk by German subma-
rine at 9:15 a. M, southeast of Fast
net.
The steamer, according to state
ment of the White Star line, was at
tackled without warning and went
down in ten minutes. OF the 423 per-
sons on board, 181 passengers and 242
members of the crew, 80 are missing
and are believed to have persisted.
Most of those who have not been
accounted for belong to the crew.
Twenty Passengers Missing.
Only 20 of the passengers are re-
ported missing.
Two of those not accounted for are
Americans of whom there were only 26
on board, % being in the second cabin
and four in the steerage.
The Arabic carried no first class
passengers, having lately been turned
into two class liner.
The survivors who left the steamer
in the ships boats and we're picked
up later by passing vessels have ar
rived in Queenstown. They are being
accommodated by the White Star line
in hotels and boarding houses in the
little town, which so short time ago
cared for the survivors and the dead
of the Lusitania.
Details of Sinking Lacking.
Details of the sinking of the Arabic
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 and otherwise are prepared
for emergencies.
The torpedo that sank the Arabic
struck her on the starboard side 100
feet from the stern. The vessel had
left Liverpool Wednesday afternoon
and taken southerly course well off
the Irish coast doubtless with view
of avoiding the submarines which fire.
quent the waters nearer the shore.
When some so miles west OF where
the Lusitania was sunk in May, the
German underwater boat rose to the
surface and launched torpedo. The
craftsmanship of the Germans, as in
the case of the Lusitania, was deadly
accurate and, like the Lusitania the
big liner quickly settled down and
shortly disappeared.
Scramble for Life Boats.
London, Aug. 21.-Some of the sur
vivors of the Arabic, according to re-
ports received here, say that they had
just witnessed the torpedoing of
British steamer, presumably the Duns-
ley, and that this had caused great
alarm on board the Arabic. In their
fright, the passengers had rushed for
life preservers and had barely adjusted
them when the German submarine
turned it's torpedo against the vessels
side.
Ten life boats and number of life
RATS were quickly launched and into
these a large number of the passen-
gers and members Of the crew scram-
bled. Many of the passengers, how
ever, fell into the water, but they got
hold of the RATS and later were res
cued.

TbA Human Face.

Rosa BOnheur, the great painter Of
animals, had u system of mnemOnics
which was exceedingly quaint. She
could trace in the faces Of those peo-
pie who visited her resemblance TO
some sort of animal. For instance, II
some one reminded her Of certain
lady she would probably hesitate for
a moment and then say, ''Oh, yes. the
lady with the camel face" or, "Oh,
remember-she had cow facer' This
memory system was not fattering to
her friends, but it showed how satu-
rated she was with a knowledge Of an
finals and their characteristics. On ev-
cry human face she found likeness to
some animal she had studied and de
lineated.

RaindropS,

Drops of rain vary in their size per-
haps from a twenty-fifth to a quarter
of an inch In diameter. In parting
from the clouds they precipitate their
descent till the increasing resistance
opposed by the air becomes equal to
their weight, when they continue to
fall with uniform velocity. This We
locity is therefore in a certain ratio
to the diameter Of the drops; hence
thunder and other showers in which
the drops are large pour down faster
than a drizzling rain. A drop Of the
twenty-fifth part of an inch in falling
through the air would, when it had ar
rived at its uniform velocity. acquire a
celerity Of only eleven and half feet
per second. while one OF quarter of
IN inch would have q velocity Of tht>
ty-three and half feet.

that the senate is now inhabited large
