CARMANIA HERE
Captain of Cunarder, Re-
Gently a Cruiser, Tells of
Franconia Sinking

When the battle SCARED CarmanIa,
of the Cunard Line, steamed up the
bay early yesterday morning, she was
greeted by the whistles of ferries, tugs
and lesser water craft. 1t was the
first time the Carmania had entered
New York Harbor since August, 1914,
when she made her last trip before
the beginning Of European hostilitles.
At the outbreak of the war she was
transformed into a battle-cruiser, and
in September, 1914, sank the German
cruiser Cap Trafalgar of the Brazilian
coast. More than 200 patches, now
neatly painted. mark the places where
hostile shells endeavored TO silence her
fire, but without success. Her tunnels
and forward decks show the largest
number of these "bandages.'
Captain d. S. Miller, four other Off
GERS. five engineers, the doctor and
purser of the Carmania occupied SIM
liar positions on the Francona, the
1S,OO0-ton transport which was sunk
or October 4, eighty miles from Malta
Captain Miller brought the first details
of the sinking, which thus far have
been suppressed BY the censor.
"On October 4. at 10 a. m. torpedo
struck No. stokehole. killing twelve
men and seriously wounding four
Others" said Captain Miller. 1--WE saw
nothing of any submarine, either then
or later. We stopped Immediately and
began launching the lifeboats. The
ship remained afoat tifty-five minutes
during which time the 300 men of the
crew, including the four wounded men
were safely lowered in the ships

FREEDOM'SFIGHT,
SAYS VENIzEL0S
Peoples Power Must BE
Restored in Greece,
He Asserts.

London. Nov. 2l.-Eliptherios Ven
izelos, ex-Premier Of Greece, in Wig
orous letter to "The Times" makes
clear for the first time what his future
attitude toward King Constantine viii
be. and how he hopes, with the aid OF
the Entente force, 70 guarantee that
the crown viii never again be able ITO
exceed strict constitutional limits Of a
limited monarchy" similar TO that Of
Great Britain.
I'VE cannot be accused" says NJ.
Venizelos, "of being anti-dynastic, be-
cause we come into conflict with the
crown on account Of the system Of des-
potism set up at Athens, and on ae-
count of our resolve 10 claim in the
name Of the people the right which IS
theirs according to their constitution
and by which the people are entitled 70
decide their own destinies.
Even If it be this confuct has pro-
voked our movement, | state emphat-
cally that our movement has not been
Organized with the object OF achlev-
ing a settlement Of that conflict. We
have no intention Of settling it by force
Of arms. nor Of dealing with 1t at all
while the war lasts. For the present
cur intention is absorbed by our coun-
tIy's enemy.
After the war has terminated, now
ever. and We are insured as far as pos
sible the safeguarding OF our national
interests. and have raised Greece from
g. obi ha
through her violation Of the Serb
Greek treaty-then we will see what
guarantees can be obtained for the
future against the possibility of linn
tied number of persons around the
King imposing on the Crown opinions
which are in direct contradiction TO the
will OF the people, and Of forcing on
the people against their will policies
calculated to drive the country TO ma
tional suicide.
The conflict TO which / refer can
only be decided in one way namely, b.
the free verdict of the people We shall
ask TO be assured Of this freedom in a
practical manner and are convinced that
the Allies of the Entente will assist us
10 this end. d.
Nothing but the re-establishment Of
the constitutional regime which has
been violated and the restitution 10
them to decide their own destines can
offer any guarantee that Greece will
continue in close and cordial relations
with the Entente. A continuation OF
the absolutist rule from which we have
been suffering the last twenty months
would always make easy the departure
of Greece from her natural path and
a reapprochement with the Central
nn,ravn Va Wteh 20 orr right
TO be a free people, masters of our own
destinies. wherefore we are confident
that the Entente viii grant as that ma
terial and moral support needed 70
bring our struggle to a successful con-
clusion."

Foes Sent Out Admission

Washington, Nov. 20.-Announce-
ment by the semi-officisl Overseas News
Agency that a German submarine sank
the British liner Arabia made a deep
impression in official quarters here to-
day. and apparently removed all posi-.
blity that this case might take ito
place with that of the Persia. sunk in
the Mediterranean long ago in some
manner never cleared up. The British
Admiralty said the Persia was torpe.
coed without warning. but none Of the
Central Powers would admit response
bility for it.
May Mean Armed Ship Test
officials were loath to discuss the
matter In the absence of official infor-
nation. which it is understood is be-
ing sought from all sources. Some OF
them expressed surprise. however. that
the attack upon the Arabia had been
semi fficially admitted.
Il was suggested that the Overseas
dispatch might mean that Germany
was preparing to make a test OF the
earned ship" controversy with the
United States, or that in some way a
minor official, hostile to Chancellor
Won Hollwegs submarine
policy, might have allowed the dispatch
to get out. seeing in it an opportunity
TO force the issue. IL has been known
here for some time that Germany
would make a bitter fight against the
defensive arming of merchant ships.
Deny Liner Was Transport
The contention that the Arabia was
an armed transport because she car
ried 15-centimetre gun and had work
men and war munitions is not regarded
here as being justified in the slightest
degree. The ship was a Peninsular and
Oriental passenger liner, with more
than 400 passengers. There was one
American aboard. lie has made an af-
fidavit which has been forwarded 10
the State Department.
So far as can be learned the depart
ment has heard nothing in reply TO it's
request for Germsny's version OF the
sinking Of the British steamer Marina,
on which six Americans lost their lives,
nor has sufficient official evidence been
received to warrant action in any OF
the other pending cases.

Belgians Must Rebuild
Houses at Own Expense

Amsterdam, Nov. 20.-According to
the "Telegraaf," the Germans have or
dered the owners Of houses which we're
wrecked in Dinant, Belgium in August
1914, to rebuild as rapidly as possible.
If they are unwilling to reerect their
houses they must remove the wreckage
and make the site into a garden. -,
The town of Dinant, the Telegram
says. has been ordered to rebuild the
beifry Of the church, toward which the
Germans offer a subsidy Of $4,000 from
the Belgian budget. The town has pro-
tested against the order.

British Driven Out by
GrenadeS-AIlied Attack
on AnCre Fails
BERLIN SEES END
OF BIG OFFENSIVE
Declares AnglO-French Ef-
forts Have Gained Little
at Huge Cost

London, Nov. 2O.-In hand grenade
lighting German infantry has succeed
ed in clearing the British from the
western part of the village of Grande-
Court, south OF the Ancre, according TO
Berlin.
Last night the British advanced to
the attack on the three-mile front from
Serre to Beaucourt and south of Mirau-
mont. These assaults BROKE down be-
fore the German fire, Berlin reports.
In the counter attacks Of the last
week the Germans captured nearly
1000 prisoners and thifty-four machine
guns. British estimates put the losses
of the Germans at far higher figures.
The average daily captures by Hslgs
troops were more than 1000 men.
The military critic of the Overseas
News Agency concludes that the Brit
ish thrust on the Ancre has come to a
complete standstill. The isolated at
tacks of Haig's troops during the last
week, this observer says, failed COM
pletely. "The enemy's insignificant
successes required the heaviest sacri-
fees" he declares The statement is
made that Australian troops captured
on this front confessed to the Germans
that they were weary Of war and were
kept up only by the hope Of speedy re-
lief"

MODIFY BAN ON G.. A. TRUBE
French Authorities Will Permit Amer

Paris, Nov. 2O.-The order of the
Minister of the Interior by which Gus
tav Adolph Trube. general manager Of
the French Westinghouse Air Brake
Company, was deported from France
last January, has been modified so as
to allow him to return after the war,
if he desires.
Although a native American, born in
New York, Mr.. Trube was given forty
eight hours in which to leave the coun-
try. Mr.. Trube is OF German parent
age, but his father was a naturalized
American. The case has been the sub
ject of considerable correspondence
between the United States and France.

maneuvring over our lines. He went

Dangers Of Lorraine
In speaking of the difficulties en-
countered by the war aviators, Lieu
tenant Thaw said that he was not at
liberty to disclose the various parts
OF the front along which he had
served. but stated that at one time or
another he Rad been along most OF the
Western front "Alsace was by far
the most difficult" said the Lieutenant.

try makes landing extremely hazard

hundred feet the plain has vanished:
and in its stead you find series OF

more hospitable landing place
Lieutenant Thaw believes that fatal
tiles are much greater among the BRIT
ish airmen than the French. The
British are far more impetuous, and
their haste to be in thy thick OF an
aerial battle often results in disaster.
The British airmen go TO the front
without sufficient experience in other
branches Of the air service. and IN
their eagerness TO win name for
themselves they take too great risks.
