LONDON, 3:10 p. m. Com-
niander Ainleh, of the Arabic,
reported that bis ship was tor-
pedoed without any warning. Of
the 423 passengers and crew,
375 have been landed at Queens-
town, leaving 48 unaccounted
for. Fifteen Americans were
on the vessel.
LONDON, Aug. 19. The White
Star liner Arabic, enroute from Liv
erpool to New York, was sunk early
this morning by a German subma
rine, about five miles off Fastnett.
Tha fifteen thousand ton vessel was
sent to the bottom about 60 miles
from the spot where the Lusitanla
was similarly destroyed. The first
dispatches to Liverpool declared that
the 'hundred and seventy five passen
gers and the members of the Arabic's
crew had been saved, but Inter re
ports said that some are believed to
have been lost. The crew numbered
260. The Arabic sailed from Liver
pool yesterday afternoon.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19. The Arab
ic carried 175 passengers, the of
ficials of the White Star line said.
This included 35 steerage passengers,
and there were no first class ones
aboard.. The crew numbered 260.
It is pointed out by the steamship
officers, that the Arabic was out
bound, and that the Germans hart
plenty of time to ascertain whether
any Americans were aboard before
sinking her. The Blnking of the
Arabic made a tremendous sensation
and shock here, the stock market
breaking sharply.
Amble Sunk In 1 1 MlnuteM.
LONDON, Aug. 19. The Arabic
was sunk at 9:15 this morning. She
went to the bottom within 1 1 minutes
after having been struck by a Ger
man torpedo. Kleven boats put over
the side quickly after the torpedo
exploded and a salvage boat picked
. them , up .and brought thent to
Qveenstowp. Reports from Queens
town this afternoon are contradic
tory, and it is impossible to learn
how many, if any, of the passengers
and crew were lost, but it is believed
that a majority at least are saved.
Late this afternoon it was not known
whether any Americans were aboard,
or wTietlier Captain Finnish endeav
ored to escape when the submarine
was sighted. It therefore is unde
termined whether the sinking of the
Arabic may be regarded as a "delib
erately unfriendly act" to ti e Inited
Stale?.

steps to ascertain whether any Ameri

early hour this afternoon, whether
any victims were Americans. It Is
admitted that the sinking might de
velop a serious situation ,if Ameri
cans were aboard and the liner had

MUST HEAD TICKET
There is an Insistent denuind from
leading men of this city that Mayor
Rice must be induced to accept the
nomination and election as chief exec
utive of Roseburg for anovher term,
and this has been so strongly urged
upon him, that there is little doubt
of his acceding to the wishes of his
fellow citizens. The mere acceptance
of the nomination is equivalent to
an election, as there will be no con
test at the polls, at least not of a
nature to change the results. The
business men of the city feel right
ly when they insist that it is bet
ter to have a tried man at the helm
for the next two years, one who is
conversant with every detail of the
proposed. improvements which will boj
under way during this time. Thcyj
have confidence in both Ills conser-j
vatism and his progressivencss and
know that the Interests of the city
will be looked after in every manner.

DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 19. While
every effort Is being made to pene
trate the storm stricken region of
Texas, it became evident that the
casualties of the terrible hurricane
cannot be accurately determined for
days. It is Known that 115 perished
at Galveston and the surrounding
coast cities, and the death roll Is be
ing increased by the reports from
the smaller towns and cities, but the
demoralization of all communication
rendered the gathering of even fairly
complete reports almost impossible.
The foundering of many craft in the
vicinity of Galveston, probably re
sulted In the greatest loss of life. It
is known that 40 boats, mostly tugs,
dredges and fishing boats, with crews
of probably 300 are missing and be
lieved to be lost.

Rome, emotional, responsive, gaz

The two soldiers, eyes filled wl!h
