While ? indignation was expressed amont* well known New Yorkers last , ni^ht concerning the sinking of the ' Arabic, few of them would be quoted until it was definitely established whether any Americans had been drowned on the torpedoed liner. Many believed that when iull details of the | disaster became known it would be . found that Germany had not so en? | tirely disregard? ?I President Wilson's latest protest as would at present ap- j pear. George W. Kirchwey, professor of law at Columbia University, con- ? demned flatly the latest outrage of the : Kaiser'i lubmariaea. "The action of Germany may be re- ! carded as a reply to President Wilson's note protesting against her submarine ; warfare policy," said Professor Kirch? wey. "It is not necessarily an inten tionnl reply. Yet it shows hevond a doubt that the Kaiser's government has no expectation of changing that policy in accordance with the demands of the President. "The torpedoing of the Arabic is the torpedoing of the I.usitania over again with this difference: The loss of life is not as k.-reat nor the deed as shock? ing to our sense of justice. In prin? ciple the two cases are, according to nil reports I have heard, absolutely the same. In consequences they are dif- ? f?tent. "Aided by public opinion, the Presi? dent must decide on the next step. This need not and does not mean war. There are a number of courses open to him short of that. One would be the interruption of diplomatic relations. ' A more drastic step would be to cut off all relations with Germany. "In my opinion the time is rine for a conference at Washington of all the powers to draw the line anew between neutral and belligerent rights. When these are determined the conference should have the power to enforce them 1-y bringing about concerte?! action against any power or group ?.f powers refusing to observe them." .lohn W. f'r'trgs, of Pateraon, former Attorney General of the United St and once Governor of New Jersey, when asked last night to comment on the sinking of the Arabic, said: "To express an opinion in the ab? sence of details of the sinking of the Arabic seems rather premature. Of \ course, if American citizens' lives were lost without their having had a chance to save themselves, this case would come under the same head as that of ! the I.usitania. If opportunity were given the passenrers to save themselves, that ?a to the credit of the submarine com? mander. Without details, however, it does not seem easy nor is it quite proper to express an opinion." GERMANS SINK 2 BRITISH WARSHIPS Torpedo Small Cruiser and De? stroyer Off Coast of Jutland. Berlin, Aug. 19 I By wireless to Tuckert:.n, X. .!.>. German destroyers torpedoed a small British cruiser and a British destroyer in an engagement of small craft off the west coast of Jutland, the German Admiralty an? nounced to-day. The announcement atlds that in the aif rai'l on London Tuesday night im? portant estblishments in the City and on the Thames were bombarded with good results. GERMAN OFFICIAL. The text of the statement says: On August 17 at !* o'clock five boats of one of our torpedo-boat flo? tillas attacked a small modern British cruiser and eight torpedo boat destroyers near Hornsriff Lightship on 'he west coast of Jut? land and sank the cruiser and one destroyer with torpedoes. dur forces had no losses. During the night of the 17th and 18th our naval airshipr again at? tacked London. London City and important Thames establishments were liberally bombarded. Good re? sulta were observed.

London, Aug. 20. A Reuter dispatch from Petrograd says: "Almost unbelievable details of Turkish massacres of Armenians in Bitlis have reached Petrograd. In one village 1,000 men, women und children are reported to have been lo?|;ed in a wooden building and burned to death. 1 "In another large village only thirty six persons, it is -aid, e.-caped mai aacre. "In still another instance it is as? serted that several scores of nun and women were tied together with chain? ann her his? eastward passage to Liverpool an effort was made to explode dynamite on board. On the night before her departure from here two sticks of the explosive were found at midnight in the women's lavatory and turned over to the Bu- : reau of Combustibles. The lind was '? kept secret until August ?S. when the vssel arrived safely in Liverpool, after which the White Star officials ? confirmed the statement issued by Po lice Headquarters. Fire Also Tried. Fire was another form of destruc- , tion directed upon the Arabic to get her out of the way as a menacing am? munition carrier. While in Liverpool early in June six tires were discovered on board in vario? places, but were fought successfully. They were enough to frighten travellers away, and the few that did cross on her to this port on the trip ending July 11 were startled by false alarms of lire in mid Atlantic. Early in February, when British pas I ?enger c?rrier? were resoiting to the , use of the American flag as u protection p ?gainst attack, the Arabic steamed bold , ly up the Irian iee flying a big British ensign and jack. The Arabic had been for almost a , year a floating arsenal on each of her i eastbound trips from this port. She was a s-hip of 15,Kill ton? gross, and an enormous cargo could bo stowe?! a\vaj? in her hold. Her decks were usually congested with uutomohile truck? and aeroplanes. She was fiOO feet long and had .. beam of ?i.'i feet. Submarines were trying to get the Arabic in May when the Lu?itani,i was sent to the bottom off the Old Head of Kinsale. Finch heard the ame warn? ing? that were sent rut to the Lusi ?aiiia and, heedinir them, escaped. The message, which was in code, was rent out from the Admiralty's flagship in Queen-tosvn Harbor and, deciphered, read: "Submarines active off south coast of Ireland.'' The skipper ?aid he caught the mes? sage Wednesday night after leaving Liverpool, and although he intended to give the Irish coast a vide berth he changed his eourss suddenly to the southe?i?t toward Bristol, going thirty live miles out of his course. Then he encountered fog and had its protection until out of the danger zone. Gun Club Aboard. The Arabic has frequently come to public attention, and recently her name was associated with the question of arming merchantmen for defensive measures. On her arrival here July 2'.\ passengers talked freely of the "gun club" organized by steward-, stokers and sailormen. ? It was said members of the gun club were equipped with high powered rifles that could put a submarine out of com? mission and that they practised it a target towed a thousand yards astern. The Arabic's -tern during the last four or five trips has been well banked with sandbags to protect her steering gear in the event, of her running away from B submarine.

ADVANCE HALTED AFTER HOT FIGHT Both Sides Suffer Big Losses Progress Unsatisfactory, Says London. London, Aug. 19. Additional troops have been landed by the British at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli Peninsula, accord? ing to an official announcement this afternoon. The War Office admits that after heavy fighting, in which no satisfac tor** progress was made, the British ; advance was halted. Losses *_n both ?idea were very large. BRITISH OFFICIAL. The text of the statement follows: The recent operations on the Gal lipoli Peninsula consisted of attacks on the enemy's positions along the southern and Anzac lines and in- : eluded the fresh landing of a strong force at Suvla Bay. There is evidence from prisoners' -taternents thai the Turks had been considerably reinforced, with a view to heavy attacks on us, and that ours foreatolled the enemy's by about twenty-four hour??. Consequently the I fighting was very severe, and on both mides the casualties were very high. The landing at Suvla Bay was well planned and carried out by the navy, but in spite of the fact that the Turks developed their greatest .trength m the Anvac region our troop- from Suvla cjiild not make . very satisfactory progress before the cnt'iiij was able to move up consid? erable forces from biJ reserve and bring our further advance at this point to a standstill. Within the last week the position? won have been ronsoliilated at all point.?. The spirit of the troops is excellent.

On Augur-t fi this effort was inaugu? rated with the landing of British troops near the Bay of Suvla, to reinforce which the new landing party apparently has been sent. F.nver Pacha, Turkish Minister of War, told The Associated Preai that about 50,n00 troops had been landed, but a wireless dispatch from Bethn later said that the >and ing operations were "relatively unim poii int.'* GERMAN SOCIALISTS RATIFY WAR LOAN Members in Reichstag Will Vote for Credits Asked by Government.
