Liner Persia Sent to the Bottom
+, Of the Mediterranean by
81 Submarine.

Submarine.
London Jan. 1.-The British
liner Persia, having on boart
nearly 500 persons, including 16(
passengers, has been sunk in the
Mediterranean, presumably by al
Austrian submarine. Robert Nc
Nicely, American consul at Alden
was passenger on the-ship. /. In
addition to Mr.. McNeely, two
other Americans are known to
have been passengers on the Per.
STA when she left London. Charles
H. Grant was on his way to Bonn
bay. Edward Rose, schoolboy,
was on the way from Denver to
Gibraltar. Rose probably landed
at Gibraltar and was not on
board the boat at the time she
was sunk.
The Peninsula and Oriental
Steamship Company stated offic-
tally this afternoon that the Per-
STA had left London December IS
and Marseilles December 26 car
rying British mails bound for
Bombay and that she was sunk
off the island Of Crete. Only
four boats got away from the
ship. These boats were picked up
by steamer bound for Alexan-
dria and the survivors were ex-
pected there this morning.
The names Of the passengers
saved have not yet been received.
They will be. published as soon as
possible. The company's state
ment says it is feared that the
loss of life among the passengers
and crew will be heavy.
Sixty-one first class and eighty
three seconnd-cabin passengers,
including eight children, boarded
the steamship Persia at London,
according to the Peninsular and
Oriental line. At Marseilles
thirty-five of the first-class and
thirty-two of the second-cabin
boarded the boat. ...
The company estimates that af-
ter deducting the number of pas
sengers leaving the ship at var
ious ports of call, about 100 pas
sengers were aboard when the
vessel was sunk.
Every effort is being made by
Consul General Skinner to get in
formation about Robert MeNeely
American consul at Alden, and
two other Americans on the pas
senger list. The British admiral
ty informed Mr.. Skinner it had
no information with regard to the
fate of individual passengers. Mr..
Skinner sent a cablegram to the
consulate at Alextndria
requesting the consul to ascertain
the fate of Consul McNeely and ,
the other Americans.
Officers on board the Persia, it
is learned, were ordinary booked
passengers and were not in active p
service of the British army.
The crew of the Persia num- n
,ered between $50 and 900 men, t
all I.ascars. r
There was not much cargo Il
hoard the Persia, but it was car p
wing very heavy mail. +
The four boats which got away R
rom the sinking vessel were cap b
lble of carrying sixty persons 4
ach, but it is not known if the n
'oats were full. la
Next to the Lusitania disaster, b.
he sinking of the Peninsular and d.
oriental liner Persia probably ii
leans heavier casualty list than IN
hat of any one of the passenger W
arriving ships that have fallen OF
ictims to German or Austrian of
lbmarines. This deduction is in
ased on the reports that the ves- or
Il carried several hundred pas pl
,ngers and crew and that only al
,ur- lifeboats got away from the dr
essel.

One of the curious situations of the
Republican campaign is that Major Carl
Lentz, formerly the boss of the Essex
County Republican organization, is sup
porting former Senator F~relinghuysen for
United States Senator as against ex-
Governor Murphy. Lentz lives in New
ark, and in the old days before the direct
primary came he dictated practically
every move made by the Essex County
Republicans, at that time being a strong
supporter of Murphy, because Murphy
was always for the organization. Then
came the uprising against bossism led by
the New Idea" forces, now Progressives,
and the overthrow of Lentz by Everett
Colby, who was elected Senator from Els
sex. The direct primary act followed,
and since then Lentz has not been much
of a force in politics.
