London. Aug. 20, 1:Ss .. ma des-

The president of the Duma has an
nouneed that the Germans lost the
battle cruiser Moltke, thre cruisers and

The announcement Of the president

spondent follows:
In the Riga battle the Germans lost
one super-dreadnought, the Moltke,
three cruisers and seven torpedo boats.
The German fleet has withdrawn
from Riga Bay.
German Fleet Withdrawn.
The Germans tried to make a des-
cent near Pernpuin (PernigeI on the
east shore of the Gudf of Riga, some
35 miles north of Riga). Four barges
crammed with soldiers took part in the
descent. They were repulsed by the
Russian troops without the coopera-
ton of artillery. the Germans being
exterminated and the barges cap
tured."
The German battle cruiser Moltke
was vessel of $4,000 ton and carried
in ordinary times a complement of
1,10I men. She was a sister ship of
the famous Goeben, which became a
part of the Turkish navy after the
commencement of the war and was re-
christened Sultan Selim.
The Moltke was $50 feet long and
was armed with ten 11-inch and
twelve 6-inch guns and twelve "a
Founders. In addition her armament
included four 20 inch torpedo tubes.
She was built in 1911 and had a speed
of about 20 knots.
The Moltke was in the battle with
the British fleet in the North Sea last
January when the German armored
cruiser Bluecher was sunk. In 1912
the Moltke was in the German squad
ron which visited the United States TO
return the visit paid by the United
States battleship squadron at Kfel,
during its trip around the world. The
cost Of the Moltke was about $12,-
100000.

BRYAN VIEWS or
ACTION ON ARABIC.
Declares "A Few Persons Ought Not
Be Allowed 10 Drag This Country
Into War"

Chicago, Aug. 22.-William J. Bryan,
former secretary Of state, tonight gave
out the following signed statement:
Il have read the editorial opinions
concerning the sinking Of the Arabic
as those opinions were reproduced in
Saturday mornings papers but they
seem TO me TO avoid the most import
ant question. The real question rs not
whether American citizens have, un-
der international law, a right TO travel
through the danger zone on the ships
Of belligerent nations. That is admit
ted The question just now is Wheth-
convenience or even his rights above
his nations welfare. II American
citizens refuse TO consider their own
safety or the safety Of the nation,
then second question arises. namely.
whether the goyernmet should permit
a few persons to drag the country in
to this unparalleled war.
Our government has made fits pro-
test and there is no doubt that the po-
sition taken is abundantly supported
by precedent. but that does not neces-
sarily mean that We are going to war.
Diplomacy has not yet concluded its
work and even II diplomatic efforts
fail. we have recourse to the treaty
plan which must be resorted to in case
of disputes with Great Britain. France,
ItaIy ana Russia anu snoulo De reSorI-
ed to before going to war with any
other belligerent nation
IF the treaty plan fails, we still have
a choice between entering this war
and the postponemert Of final settle
ment until peace is restored. In the
meantime it will be well TO think Of
the thousands, or possibly the hun
dreds of thousands who would be sac
rifced il we enter this war: these
brave men are certainly entitled to
consideration as well as the few who
by deliberately incurring unnecessary
risks bring harm upon themselves and
danger to their country.

Emperor William of Germany, with

Of General Won Gallwitz have pene-
trated further south Of the Narew and

1itovsk railway. An official despatch
from Petrograd, however, says that
the whole line of this railway remains
IN the hands of the Russians, al
though Brest-Litovsk is almost with
in the zone of gunfire.
In the western theater the fighting
has consisted mainly Of artillery duels

whether Germany committed a de

expected from Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin. Cabled sttements of Ameri-
can survivors apparently have left no
doubt that the Arabic. with Americans
on board, was torpedoed without
warning. The question now is wheth-
er Germany will set up a claim that
manoeuvering of the ship just before
she was attacked led the submarine
commander to believe that she was at

President Wilson remained at the

to eat his meals. He showed a desire
to get away from his Usual suround-

heard the clergyman pray that he be

rode again. He saw no callers.

The president will decide tomorrow
whether a cabinet meeting will be

seemed improbable that the cabinet
members would be summoned before
