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- fêtent. "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. .!.>.

ARABIC HUNTED ALMOST A YEAR BY SUBMARINES U-Boats Lay in Wait for Big Munitions Carrier on Eastern Trip. SKIPPER FINCH ELUDED TRAPS Fires and Dynamite Also Used in Attempts to Destroy White Star Liner. When the White Star line.- Arnbic dropped under the surface off the Irish coast yesterday forenoon the German Admiralty had accomplished a feat it had l.een striving for ever since last October. The Arabic had been a thorn in the side of the imperial government as a successful and elusive munition carnei ever since she replaced the Cedric in the Nesv York and Liverpool , service ten months ago. Captain William Finch, the vessel's» portly commander, was a thinker a re¬ sourceful skipper who could not be caught either going or coming bv the underseu craft that hud been laying for him at every point in the war zone where he was supposed to fetch un to get his bearings. German» After Finch. It was known in the shipping district that the Germans wanted to get Finch. He knew it himself, but the game amused rather than annoyed him. He is reported to have said once that if they ever got him it would be west¬ bound, when he didn't have anything on board that the Allies wanted very badly. That was the way they got him. west- bound, with a comparatively small passenger complement and cargo. On the eight or nine eastbound trio* of the Arabic, when ^ie was laden to the plims««ll with 10.00(1 or 12-000 tons of lighting material. Finch never showed up where he was expected or when he was expected, and the vessel got through safi I) The Arabic was cither ahead of schedule or behind schedule. Some- times she would niai-e the land and sometimes she would lay well off the Irish coast, nosing over well to the east near the Bristol Channel and the Welsh coast, or to the south, a little northwest of the Scillys. Undersea attack was not »he onlv means employed by Germany to sink the Arnbic. <>n 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 «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 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 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. Rcctnt rabí«' dispatches indicated that th" French and British have de¬ termined on a great elTort to force th" Dardanelles as speedily as possible. London reports say that this is being dont for a «louble purpose to influence th.- wavering Balkan States with a -how of force and, if possible, to assist hard pressed Rusaia by forwarding to her supplies through the »traits. 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.

CZAR CALLS TO COLORSMEN OF CLASS OF 1916Paris. Aug. 19.The Russian Km-

hassy announces that by decree ofthe Kmperor. young men of theclaasof It'll, hue been called to the «ol¬

or«, dating from August 20.No exemptions whatever hecauae

NEUTRAL RIGHTSREVISION URGED

Prof. Kirchwey Says Ara¬bic Case Calls for a New

World Code.While indignation was expressed

amont* well known New Yorkers last

ni^ht concerning the sinking of theArabic, few of them would be quoteduntil it was definitely establishedwhether any Americans had been

drowned on the torpedoed liner. Manybelieved that when iull details of the |

disaster became known it would befound that Germany had not so en»

tirely disregard« «I President Wilson'slatest protest as would at present ap- jpear.George W. Kirchwey, professor of

law at Columbia University, con-

demned flatly the latest outrage of theKaiser'i lubmariaea."The action of Germany may be re-

carded as a reply to President Wilson'snote protesting against her submarinewarfare policy," said Professor Kirch¬wey. "It is not necessarily an inten-tionnl reply. Yet it shows hevond a

doubt that the Kaiser's governmenthas no expectation of changing thatpolicy in accordance with the demandsof the President."The torpedoing of the Arabic is the

torpedoing of the I.usitania over againwith 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 thesame. In consequences they are dif-fêtent."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 tohim short of that. One would be theinterruption of diplomatic relations.A more drastic step would be to cut offall relations with Germany.

"In my opinion the time is rine fora conference at Washington of all thepowers to draw the line anew betweenneutral and belligerent rights. Whenthese are determined the conferenceshould have the power to enforce them1-y bringing about concerte«! actionagainst any power or group «.f powersrefusing to observe them."

.lohn W. f'r'trgs, of Pateraon, formerAttorney General of the United Stand 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 theArabic seems rather premature. Ofcourse, if American citizens' lives werelost without their having had a chanceto save themselves, this case wouldcome under the same head as that ofthe I.usitania. If opportunity were giventhe passenrers to save themselves, that¡a to the credit of the submarine com¬mander. Without details, however, itdoes not seem easy nor is it quiteproper to express an opinion."

ARABIC HUNTEDALMOST A YEARBY SUBMARINES

U-Boats Lay in Wait forBig Munitions Carrier

on Eastern Trip.

SKIPPER FINCHELUDED TRAPS

Fires and Dynamite Also Usedin Attempts to Destroy

White Star Liner.

When the White Star line.- Arnbicdropped under the surface off the Irishcoast yesterday forenoon the German

Admiralty had accomplished a feat it

had l.een striving for ever since lastOctober. The Arabic had been a thornin the side of the imperial governmentas a successful and elusive munitioncarnei ever since she replaced theCedric in the Nesv York and Liverpool ,

service ten months ago.Captain William Finch, the vessel's»

portly commander, was a thinker a re¬

sourceful skipper who could not becaught either going or coming bv theunderseu craft that hud been laying forhim at every point in the war zone

where he was supposed to fetch un toget his bearings.

German» After Finch.It was known in the shipping district

that the Germans wanted to get Finch.He knew it himself, but the gameamused rather than annoyed him. Heis reported to have said once that ifthey ever got him it would be west¬

bound, when he didn't have anythingon board that the Allies wanted verybadly.That was the way they got him. west-

bound, with a comparatively smallpassenger complement and cargo. Onthe eight or nine eastbound trio* ofthe Arabic, when ^ie was laden to theplims««ll with 10.00(1 or 12-000 tons oflighting material. Finch never showedup where he was expected or when hewas expected, and the vessel gotthrough safi I)The Arabic was cither ahead of

schedule or behind schedule. Some-times she would niai-e the land andsometimes she would lay well off theIrish coast, nosing over well to theeast near the Bristol Channel and theWelsh coast, or to the south, a littlenorthwest of the Scillys.Undersea attack was not »he onlv

means employed by Germany to sinkthe Arnbic. <>n her his« eastwardpassage to Liverpool an effort was

made to explode dynamite on board.On the night before her departurefrom here two sticks of the explosivewere found at midnight in the women'slavatory and turned over to the Bu-reau of Combustibles. The lind waskept secret until August »S. when thevssel arrived safely in Liverpool,after which the White Star officialsconfirmed the statement issued by Po-lice Headquarters.

Fire Also Tried.Fire was another form of destruc-

tion directed upon the Arabic to gether out of the way as a menacing am¬

munition carrier. While in Liverpoolearly in June six tires were discoveredon board in vario« places, but were

fought successfully. They were enoughto frighten travellers away, and thefew that did cross on her to this porton the trip ending July 11 werestartled by false alarms of lire in mid-Atlantic.

Early in February, when British pas-

I »enger c»rrier« were resoiting to theuse of the American flag as u protection«gainst attack, the Arabic steamed bold-ly up the Irian iee flying a big Britishensign and jack.The Arabic had been for almost a

year a floating arsenal on each of hereastbound trips from this port. Shewas a s-hip of 15,Kill ton» gross, and anenormous cargo could bo stowe«! a\vaj¡in her hold. Her decks were usuallycongested with uutomohile truck« andaeroplanes. She was fiOO feet long andhad .. beam of »i.'i feet.Submarines were trying to get the

Arabic in May when the Lu«itani,i wassent to the bottom off the Old Head ofKinsale. 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 flagshipin Queen-tosvn Harbor and, deciphered,read: "Submarines active off southcoast of Ireland.''The skipper »aid he caught the mes¬

sage Wednesday night after leavingLiverpool, and although he intended togive the Irish coast a vide berth hechanged his eourss suddenly to thesouthe«i»t toward Bristol, going thirty-live miles out of his course. Then heencountered fog and had its protectionuntil out of the danger zone.

Gun Club Aboard.The Arabic has frequently come to

public attention, and recently her namewas associated with the question ofarming merchantmen for defensivemeasures. On her arrival here July 2'.\passengers talked freely of the "gunclub" organized by steward-, stokersand sailormen. «

It was said members of the gun clubwere equipped with high powered riflesthat 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 fouror five trips has been well banked withsandbags to protect her steering gearin the event, of her running away fromB submarine.

BRITISH OFFICIAL.The text of the statement follows:The recent operations on the Gal-

lipoli Peninsula consisted of attackson the enemy's positions along thesouthern and Anzac lines and in-eluded the fresh landing of a strong

force at Suvla Bay.There is evidence from prisoners'

considerably reinforced, with a view-

to heavy attacks on us, and that ours

foreatolled the enemy's by about

twenty-four hour««. Consequently the

fighting was very severe, and on bothmides the casualties were very high.The landing at Suvla Bay was well

planned and carried out by the navy,

troop- from Suvla cjiild not makevery satisfactory progress before thecnt'iiij was able to move up consid¬erable forces from biJ reserve andbring our further advance at this
