GERMAN SUBMARINE
SINKS BIG LINER.
TRANSATLANTIC LINER ARABIC
ENRoUTE TO NEW YORK SENT
TO BOTTOM.
SUNK WITHOUT WARNING
About Fifteen Americans on Board
Most Of Passengers Are Saved
Good Order Prevailed.

London.-The big White Star liner
ARABIC from Liverpool for New York
was torpedoed and sunk by German
submarine southeast of Fastnet.
Inc steamer. says a White Star
Line statement was attacked with
out warning and went down in 10
minutes. OF the 423 persons on board
(lSl passengers and 242 members of
the crew. 80 are believed to have
per1shed. Most Of those who have not
been accounted for belong to the crew.
Only six passengers are reported
missing.
Whether any Of these not account
ed for are Americans has not yet been
determined, but there were only 26
citizens of the United States on
board, % in the second cabin and
four in the steerage.
The vessel had no first class pas
sengers, havin gbeen turned into a
twoclass liner.
The survivors who left the steamer
in the ships boats and were picked
up later by passing vessels, arrived in
Queenstown and are being cared for
in hotels and boarding houses in the
little town which so recently cared for
the survivors and the dead of the
Lusitania.
but that the loss of life was not great
er doubtless was due to the fact that
the weather was fine and that steam
ers plying the German submarine war
zone now keep their boats swung out
prepared for emergencies.
The torpedo that sunk the Arabic
struck her on the starboard side 100
feet from her stern. The vessel had
left Liverpool August Is and taken a
southerly course, we'll off the Irish
coast, doubtless with view Of avoid
ing the submarines which frequent
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
marksmaship Of the German, as in
the case of the Lusiatania, was deadly
accurate and like the Lusiatania the
big liner quickly settled and shortly
disappeared from view. Some Of the
survivors, according to reports re-
| ceived here, say they had just wit
messed the torpedoing of British
steamer, presumably the Dunsley and
that this had caused great alarm. In
! their fright the passengers had rush
ed for life-preseryers and had barely
a. justed them when the. German sub
marine turned it's torpedo against the
vessels side.

sent by the American Ambassador OF
Commerce and Trade in Berlin to the
department of commerce. The report
says. however, that the bread card
system has resulted In a surplus
of wheat and rye -four which will
make possible an increase in the bread
allowance.
Introduction Of a meat card scheme
to restrict consumption and insure
reasonable prices is predicted by the
association.
From statistics gathered before the
war it is estimated that Germany de-
pended on imports for about 273 per
cent Of her fOodStums.
'ln anlyzing the effect Of these
figures upon the general situation,'
says the report. "it should be borne
in mind that Germany's isolation is
not complete one, since about $500,
600 bushels Of wheat have been
brought in since the outbreak Of the
war and not much less Of fodder
which is about one-tenth Of normal
imports per year
Butter and meat imports from
Holland. Denmark and Sweden arc
said to have been considerable, while
fish were secured in large quantities
from Norway.

continues, that one.Quartcr OF the

TROUBLE PLACING LOAN

Large Loan First Proposed Could Not
Be Placed.-Reduced Amount Will

New York.-A reduction in the pro
posed foreign loan to be foated here
from half billion dollars first sug
gested to $100,000,000 or $3.50, 100000
seemed probable as the result of all

this city and London

amount would be utterly inadequate to
meet the volume Of bills coming due
rapidly against foreign buyers Of Am
be sufficient to restore to normal value
the foreign moneys now at low levels
Of depreciation.
The chief reason for the contem.
plated reduction was understood to
be the belief that large loan, such
as was first projected, could not be
readily placed here.

with proposals and suggestions be-
tween bankers to whom the depression

SEVERAL AMERICAN

Washington.--Te increased in
official quarters here when Consular
messages forwarding aftidavts of
American survivors of the British
liner Arabic brought definite informa-
ton that the vessel was torpedoed
without warning, and that at least
some Americans had been lost
1t seemed that but one point re-
manned to be cleared up--whether
the Arabic attempted to ram the sub
marine or whether a change Of the
liners course to assist the already
sinking British steamer Dunsley near
by was misinterpreted by the German
submarine commander as hostile ap-
proach.
The attitude Of the American gov

with President Wilson,
The president motored to Phiadel-

ment was forthcoming as details from
abroad were lacking, but everywhere
in official quarters the grave aspects
OF the case were discussed. The gen
eral trend Of comment was that the
American government had reached
the point where it must now decide
whether 1t would sever diplomatic re-
lations with Germany.
In addition to awaiting informa.
tion from the American survivors, the
Embassy in London and American
Consuls. officials expect some word
from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin to
indicate whether the attack without
warning on the Arabic had the sane
tion Of the German government.
Should Germany offer an explana-
ton, asserting there were qualifying
circumstances, such as an attempt by
the Arabic to escape or ram the sub
marine, the disposition on Germany's
part to discuss the case would in all
likelihood be construed here as a dis
avowel of any intention deliberately
