Several Vessels Are Reported Sunk
London, Sept. 8. Driving against the
cist coast of England three ciunt Ger
man Zeppelin? last night in their lflt-i
ri id against England garnered a casual
ly toll greater thr.n any thus far ten
lead, three missing, forty-three wound-
Kl, twenty crt them seriously.
At the same time they tumbled sev
eral small dwellings into ruins, and set
' number or lues with their incendiary
bombs, these however, were quickly ex
tinguished. ' '
On only one occasion have the raiders
reaped a greater toll. That was in June
when 15 or 10 were slain, but the lfst
C wounded never ran so high.
Shrouding the location of the raid
in mystery, the admiralty said nctiiing
concerning where the terrorists of the
eky had dropped their bombs.
The raiders drove "in apparently from
the Dutch coast, as Amsterdam messag
es reported four Zceppelins sighted off
the Dutch coast. One was fired at by
tne Dutch, whet ' feared it planned
wolation of Holland's neutrality.
English aeroplanes failed to locate tho
raiders, the . official statement said,
though tho English anti-aircraft guns
were at once put into action.
Women and childrcu were the prin
cipal victims. It was believed here
that probably many of these were slain
as they grouped, iii fear, in the streets
watching the air nionstvrs at their
work.
Earlier Reports of Baid.
London, Sept. 8. Tea persons wero
killed iu last night's Zeppelin raid on
the English coast, it was officially an
nounced today.""
Three other persons nre missing and
believed to bo buried in tho debris.
Following out the recent policy con
cerning raid announcements, the loca
tion was withheld.
The admiralty Baid 43 were injured.
Though Amsterdam messages indicated
that perhaps four raiders were in the
party, the official statement today said
that only three particputeu in me at
tack. . ,
"Last night three Zeppelins bom
barded the eastern const," said the of
ficial statement. "Two men.', three wo
men and five children were killed.
Four men, eleven women and five chil
dren were seriously injured. A mnn
and two women are missing." , The
remainder of the 43 wounded apparent
ly were not seriously hurt.
"Fifteen,' small dwellings were de
molished or badly damaged, " the state
ment continued. ".Several fires start
ed but were quickly extinguished.
There was no other great damage."
The British anti-aircraft were in ac
tion, the official statement said, but
"our aeroplanes were unable to locate
the enemy."
All those wounded were civilians with
the exception of one soldier.
It is possible that London was again
(Hacked by the Zeppelins which the
idmiralty reports us having raided
"eastern counties." Tho official state
ment was censored as to tho locality of
the raid but the meoon of "dwell
ings" being demolished or damaged
mak"s it prob'iblo tho attack was wade
on the city.
From the standpoint of casualties Inst
night's raid was the most destructive
made this summer, though 15 or 10 per
sons were killed in the raid of June
11.

COMMANDER OF
SUBMARINE SAYS
ARABIC ATTACKED
Germany's Claim Is That Liner
Was Sent to Bottom In
Self Defense
By Carl W. Ackennau.
Berlin, via The Hague, Sept. 8.
Germany's note on the torpedoing of
the liner Arabic, was handed to Am
bassador Gerard last night, but it was
withheld from publication todav.
It was understood, howevor, that it
contnins the substance of a report of
the commander of the submarine which
sank the vessel,-
This report held the commander was
instilled' m his attack, on tho ground
that he feared he was about to be ram
med by the liner nnd that ho torpedoed
her in self defense.
It is understood that the commander's
report was received a few days ago,
thus disposing of English reports that
the submarine lind been sunk or cap
tured.
The noto covers four typewritten
pages.
Submarine Returns.
Amsterdam, Sept. 8. The submarine
which torpedoed tho liner Arabic, has
returned to its base, nnd reported that
it submarined the vessel to escape pos
sible attack, said a Berlin dispatch to
day. Liverpool advices, nnd advices to Sec
retary of State Lansing have indicated
that the British either sank or cap
tured tho Arabic attacker. These ad
vices, however, were unconfirmed by
the admiralty.
OFFICIALS DO NOT COMMENT.
By Charles P. Stewart.
Washington, Sept. .8. Officials here
received the first wont of delivery of
the Arabic note to Ambassador Gerard,
through United States Press Correspond
ent Ackerman's dispatch. They de
clined, however, to make any comment
thereon until they hnd the entire text
before them, though they professed deep
interest in the reported justification
plen.
It was pointed out, in high quarters,
however, that acceptance of Germany's
plen on this point would give sub
marines a wide latitude of action here
after. Should it bo accepted, Germany
easily could, in future ca.ses, profess to
believe that n eVsscl'vecring out of its
course did so for the purpose of ram
ming the submarine and thus egain
justify the torpedoing.
America has recognized submarines
rights to attack a vessel attempting
to ram a submarine, but it was pointed
out that this reported new lea of
Germany might, establish a dangerous
precedent.

AUSTRIAN SITUATION IS
NOW BEING CONSIDERED
President Wilson Astonished Washington hy Walking Over
to Secretary of State's Office and Talking Dumha Case
Over With That OfficialState Department Is Said To
Be Making Thorough Investigation of Ambassador's
Activities Before Reaching Decision
Washington, Sept.. 8. Though offi
cial Washington wis accustomed to
smashing ot precedents by rresidont
Wilson, it gasped today when the ex
ecutive broke all previous ideas of of
ficial "dignity" mid called upon Sec
retary of State Lansing nt the bitter's
office far a conference.
Tho tnlk, it was believed, dealt, with
the explanations Ambassador Dumba
gave Lansinif late yenterday afternoon,
regarding hi:i dispatch of a letter to
Austria, through an American nows
paper correspondent boaring on ho
pro)iosed plan to call out Austrian
workeres in American munition plnnhi.
Tho president Br.untored ct.it of the
Whito Honne, across the road to the
state department, and up the steps,
avoiding tho elevator which diplomats
uso in getting from tho ground floor
directly to Lansing's office.
The president apparently had tele
phoned iu advance tout he was com
ing. As he enmo down tho granite hall
way, he was at once roeotfnizod by
"Kddio" Savoy, negro messenger, who
has boon ushering persons of note Into
tho secretarial presence for many yoarn,
with just a littlo moro than Ins usual
suavity, just a bit moro of a bow, he
showed the oxecutivo into tho private
office.
Ou iiiKiuostioiiKblo authority it was
learned that Dumba intended to make
strong efforts to enliut Secretary Wil
nun's aid in notifying Austrians that
sevoro penalties would be Inflicted on
them if tht'y coiitiniiea munition labor,
and later returned to their native land.
Secretary Lansing, it wns understood
did not object td this proposed warn
ing through the h.bor department.
lief ore seeing Wilson, Dumba, confer
red a fow minutes with Solicitor Denu
niore of tho labor department, but
neither would reveal tho subject of
their discussion.
His Deposition Undecided.
What disprtiition, the administration
will mnko.of Austrian Ambassador
Dumba was undetermined early toriuy.
His explanation concerning his admit
ted plan to call out Austrian workers

his siibftoqueilt effort to forward dn
tnlls thereof to Austria, through tho
American corrcspiuideut, Archibald,
docs not clone tho incident.
The administration did not accept ns
settling the situation finally his defense
that ho,, acting n:; an omiusnry ol' his
government under its decree that Aus
triun subjects in foreign lauds munt
not work on war contracts fur tho al
lies. President Wilson is reported to be
nwaiting further information before de
ciding whether Dumba is diplomatical
ly personal urn grain.
His conference this forenoon with

he undoubtedly received full details of
the Dumba caso at the time.
Tho official chanco of front in the
case b deemed significant. Previous to
the envoys meeting with Lansing yes
terday, officials strongly intimated
that there would bo no action against
Dumbn. The White House and state
department sentiment, however, appar
ently veored sharply to a more un
favorable position toward him follow
ing the session.
It is not belioved this government
will go ns far as to ask that Austria
recall him, but thero was a strong be
lief in official circles that. Vienna will
receive a hint that the United States
would consider it proper for Austria to
initinte disciplinary measures.
Dumba planned to confer with Sec
retary of Ijubor Wilson regarding the
matter of employment conditions for
Austrinns, and presumably regarding
iris plan to establish an employment
service for subjects of that country
forced out of munitions plants.
Further, it was believed he would
take up, too, tho question of the right
thus to halt Austrinns labors.

with pride, "and it was only through
