Lost-VesseI Torpedoed Without
Slightest Warning
Plymouth, Eng, Sunday, Sept. Is
Heartrending scenes were witnessed
here when hundreds Of survivors of
the torpedoed steamer Galway Castle
were landed at : O'Clock Thursday
morning. The passengers were most
ly women and children, and it is be-
licvcd that whole families were lost.
There seems no reason 10 doubt
that the vessel was torpedoed without
the slightest warning The explosion
occurred between the enCineroom and
the stokehold. fact which is taken
to rule out any possibility that the ship
struck a mine.
The explosion made comparatively
little noise but caused the ship to
buckle in a most extraordinary man
ner. She was injured at the extreme
bottom and was bent and torn clear
to the upper deck
The thrush of water was tremen-
dous One engineer was swept into
the tunnel from the ergineroom and
drowned.
One boat was swamped. another
was damaged because the falls be-
came fouled and another was swept
back against the liner by wave and
smashed by the propeller
The Galway Castle had 74s passen-
gers. of whom 1874 are missing.

New York paper for S2,O00,000. The name of this paper was not mentioned in the communication, but MT. Bic laski said there were indications that it was the New York Sun. The letter said:
 q have received word that our op. portunity has now arrived to acquire that morning and evening paper about which we have been talking. and that it can be had at a price slightly under $2,O00,000 for four-sixths of the capi- tai stock, which includes valuable real estate on Park Row, but that action must be taken under proper conditions and my friends will be willing to take one-fourth interest, provided some arrangement could be made giving them the option to ac- quire the majority interest at future date, say after the lapse of one or two years from the close of the war. which would afford every opportunity that could be possibly wanted. understand that the project is now breaking about even-thaI is, that it is neither losing nor making money, but my friends are satisfied that it can be made a substantial earner and l am disposed to agree with them.
 'I shall be glad to hear from you as to whether you are now in a posi- tion to take up this subject seriously and promptly with me and bring it to a conclusion, if. as I believe, the terms are advantageous.

 and second quarters of 1916 will be found entries of payments to MT. Theodore Lowe. As to this, I have to report that this gentleman is of Ger man origin and is married to a Ger man lady. He offered us his services to work on a paper in Washington, the National Courier This offer came at the time we were deeply re- gretting the death of John R. Me Lean. This gentleman had given his newspaper and entire anti-English character so that his death left a great gap which the National Courier can, unfortunately never hope to fill. The Washington Post has since then been fairly neutral, but may be en- tirely lost to us if it cannot, as is very much desired, be put into the hands of MT Hearst"
 Neutrality Threatens Hur7.
 Under date of August ?, 1916, Mir. Bielash said, this communication was sent to the Berlin foreign office and was signed by Dr. H. K. Fuehr, for mer German consular agent in the Orient, who came to the United States early in 1914:
 The Washington Post. whose neutral attitude toward the belliger- ents during the present war has won for it warm recognition from the Ger man side, has of late materially changed its tone in questions of European politics and seems fairly on the way to join our enemies.
 From reliable sources l learn that this change of front is due to the Russian ambassador in Washington. After the. death of sts former owner, John R. Mclean, the Washington Post. together with the Cincinnati Enquirer, came into the hands of the son of the first mentioned, on whom his aunt. Madame Kakhmeteff, is said to have great influence.
 "Mr. Mclean, Jr.. inaugurated his ownership by naming as editorial di- rector one Bill Sturgeon who is said to be British subject. and a nephew of Robert Porter, one of the chief leaders of the Northcliffe ring"
