Sinking of Arabic Is Now
Regarded As "Deliberately
Unfriendly" Act
New York, Aug. 20. Metropolitan
newspapers of the east, in editorial ex
pressions on the sinking of the Arable,
today took the view that while the sit
uation la serious, full Information
should be awaited before action is tak
en. The opinion was generally express
ed that Germany could not expect to
maintain friendly relations with the
United States and contiiue such attacks
upoa ships carrying Americans.
Expressions of the New York Times
and World and the Boston Globe were
typical of the opinions expressed in the
oast. The Times said:
"It should be plain, even to war-mad
Germany, that friendly relations can
not continue if these intolerable wrongs
continue to be perpetrated.
New York World: "No verdict can
lie pronounced until all evidence is re
ceivtd. The situation is undeniably
serious.
Boston Globe: "If we assume that
the Arabic was torpedoed without warn
lug aud that Americans were lost, then
this country must decide the grave
question of what is to be done. The
question Is of doing, not talking. We
must wait for the facts.
Qneenstown, Aug. 20. Not a single
survivor from the Arabic interviewed
here toduy saw the submarine which
sent the White Star liner to the bot
tom. Several saw the U boat, which
torpedoed the liritsh steamer Dunsley
nearby and they believe the same vessel
dealt the Arabic her death blow, but all
agreed that the first warning of their
own impending disaster was the sight
ing of a white streak in the water,
marking tbo track of the torpedo which
struck the big ship.
ine calm which prevailed and the
order maintained by Captain Finch and
ms crew impressed all passengers or
the Arabic, especially several who had
been in other disasters and saw lives
lost owing to panic. The passengers
and members of the crew who were
drowned were said todav to have been
in two boats which capsized immediate
ly upon Btriking the water. Some of
the crew are also believed to have been
blown to pieces by the explosion of the
torpedo. They were men in the engine
room and some passengers said they
saw -pieces of their bodies blown out
upon the water when a great hole was
torn in the si.ie of the liuer.
Joseph O. I.'cLoriimcr, n lawyer of
Montreal, and son in law of the Canad
ian minister of marine, told a thrilling
storv of the Arabic rolling over on the
lust boat that was hunched from her
and throwing the occupants into the
water. ,
Most of the passengers were on

to it until I was picked up. By that
time I was exhausted. I saw ten boats
pull away from the Arabic. One wai

the liner and sank.

Stella Carroll, a professional singer,
said the women aboard the Arabic were
particularly calm and disployed great
self control. Several were scantily
clad when they were forced to hurry on
deck and suffered severely from the
cold wind which was blowing. Many
were still in tlieir berths and were clad
only in their nght. clothng. Thov were

"There were four women and 2S men

Berlin, via wireless to London, Aug.
20. Novo Georgiewsk has fallen.
Tho capture of the fortress to the
west of Warsaw was officially an
nounced today.
Novo Georgiewsk! is 20 miles west
of Warsaw. As the Germans advanced
upon the Polish capital the invading
armies went around the fortress and
with tlie full of Waiscw Novo Georgie
wsk was isolated. The Russians decid
ed to defend the fortress, however,
leaving a strong garrison to oppose thu
Germans. The siege wus in progress
for more than a week and German pa
pers estimated yesterday that about
fill.tlilO Slavs would fall into the hands
of the Teuton army with the capture of
the fortress.
Novo Georgiewsk is the last of tho
Vistula fortresses to be held by the Kus
sians. The Germuns have now made a
sweep or me entire line, reducing
Kcivno, Ostrolcnku, l.omiir., Novo
Georgiewsk, Ivangorod and l.oblin.
It is believed that nt least 40,000
Russians were captured when Novo
Georgiewsk was uccupied and it is iilso
likely numerous cunnoii were taken.

Novo Georgiewsk lias a fortress of
