These positions are 100 miles to the nortbeaBt of Petrograd. 300 miles behind. The British reinforced their Gallipoli army during the weeK and made slight advance inland from Sulva bay. It is apparent that the old offensive along the Gaiypoli from the south ought to form the exclusive effort of the English. !

In view of President Wilson's dec laration that the United States wculd consider unwarranted any German sub- marine attack involving loss of Ameri can lives, as "deliberately unfriend ly," it was agreed that there seemed to be no way out of a German-American diplomatic break at leasts if this proved to be such a case. ARABIC NEITHER TRIED TO SINK SUBMARINE . NOR ESCAPE, IS CLAIM London, Aug. 21. (U. P.) That the liner Arabic neither attempted to ram the German submarine that sank her, nor sought to escape, was the convic tion expressed tonight by admiratly of ficials. The admiralty has received no of ficial report either from Captain French of the Arabic or from the White Star officials. The liner's com mander is expected here Monday to make a complete statement. But of ficials pointed out tonight survivors apparently were unanimous in stating that the submarine that sank the Ara bic was not sighted either before or aftre the attack, and that consequently It would have been impossible for the Arabic to have attempted to destroy her or to have sought safety in flight. "The official announcement that the Arabic was not under convoy when she was sunk closes one loophole through which the Germons may have planned to justify the act,'" said an admiralty official. . "The admiralty report of Captain French, we believe, will close the others. Wait and see what Berlin will have to' say." The final list of those who perished shows that 9 died on the Arabic, two of them Americans. The survivors number 390. These are' divided as follows : Crew, saved 227, missing 21. Cabin passengers, saved 121, miss ing 12. Steerage passengers, saved 4 2, miss ing .

By getting this car, it is pointed out that Mr. Krohn was able to dispense with the services of two assistants in the elementary schools. The assistants were given other positions in the schools. This makes a total of eight cars pur chased by the board in tho last three years, and the ninth one is to be pur chased for the school clerk, who, it is said, has' been using his own machine in visiting the schools.

' FRENCH MINISTRY TO BE REORGANIZED WITH MILLERAND LEFT OUT rti i.rr MrmlXnnrl oc Possible Successor to Pres ent Minister of War. CABINET CRISIS IS NEAR Situation In Prance Similar to That . Which Prevailed In Xngland Three Months Ago. By C. F. Bertilli. Paris, Aug. 21. (I. N. S. The ,Frencb ministry Is to be reorganized to stop acute senate criticism, but Premier Vivian! Is likely to have charge of the reconstruction.- ' - France faces a cabinet crisis like England's of three months ago. Whether Vivlani will form it or President Poincaire will call upon someone else o do .it, has been a matter of speculation: There i a possibility that Paul ' Deschanel may be expected to form" the new ministry - - - no- 11 l" pub Joffre may become the war minister ln Place of Alexander Milerand. The cause of the present military coup a aissausraowon A" it" senators over the, failure ot the Vea- KllL Will UlUiOll w D"V"J w. .-.i. munitions to the army. Joffre's services to the country have been far too eminent for politic ians of any party to cast the slightest suspicion of incompetency upon b4m. He may receive the application Of war minister, and it is even said he will be made a marshal of "France as reward for his great victory of the Marne, which saved Paris from German occupation. ' If Joffre is- transferred from the field, the most conspicuous army commands may fall to the following brilliant triumvirate: 1 General Foch, who by his his toric stand last October with the British commander in chief, closed the northern gate of Paris. Foch will continue to command all the armies of the left wing, including the British troops. Be Castelnaa Mentioned. 2 General De Castelnau, whose stubborn defense of Nancy saved east ern France and allowed Joffre to pivot on Nancy during his great retreat and at the bttle of the Marne. . De Castelnau will command the armies of the center. 3 General Dubail, the dashing cav alry general, who displayed military genius in his fighting ln the Vosges early ln the war and only retreated from mountain passes to conform With the retirement further north. Dubail will command the armies of the east on the right wing. Military authorities also foreshadow the early appointment of General Gal lieni, military governor of Paris, to the command of the army operating in Alsace. ' Political prophets said in July that the downfall of Millerand as war minister was certain after his speeches in the senate June 29, wherein- he confessed t that the supply of guns. and ammunition had been de fective. His most startling confes sion made at one of the meetings of the senate, army commandants was that until recently the supply of guns and powder had been 15 tons daily, in stead of the 40 tons needed by the army. He Befnsed to Resign. The minister then had a most chilly reception, and, no doubt, clearly fore seeing a movement against him, he said afterward to friends: "I shall not resign; if they want me to go, they must turn me out." Paul Deschanel is the most popular figure In the chamber of deputies and is perhaps the one politician in France at this moment upon whose nomina tion to the head of the cabinet all par ties might agree. Since the assassination of , Jaures, he is the best orator in France. It ip almost certain that Briand, Del casse and Rihot will figure if a new coalition cabinet is formed, but It is doubtful whether Augagneur will be retained as minister of marine. France is. however, absolutely united about the war and confident of ulti mate X'ictory.
