A Despatch from New York says: 'Under the caption "Deliberately Un- friendly," the New York Tribune says editorially: "7"In every detail the German attack upon the Arabic fulfills. President Wilson's definition of an act 'deliber- ately - unfriendly' to _ the * United States. "Since this is the case, only one road remains open to :Mr. Wilson; there is only one course that he can follow with dignity and with honor. Without delay, further protest, any diplomatic - exchange whatsoever, the German Ambassador in Washington should 'receive his passports, the American Ambassador + in' Berlin should be recalled. « 2 t is time to have done with a na- tion which has repudiated every scrap of international law. It is time to shave: done with a State 'which "has adopted a policy hich alike a chal- lenge to humanity and a negation of 'all that "civilization means, "If the would-be murderer misses, if his bul- let goes astray, does society less cer- tainly incarcerate him? It is not the fault of the German commander that every American 'on the Arabic was not drowned. All that the assassin could: do. was done. "All that the but- - l'cher 'could do to make the massacre mplete was done. If chance spared Americans, it was chance alone. i e time has come Tow 14 PASSENGERS Ei ON THE SITUATION, ~ LOST ON ARABIC Among the Number Were Two Citi- zens of the United States. A despatch from London says: At least five passengers, two of whom were Americans, and 40 members of the crew, lost their lives. when the White Star liner Arabic was torpe- + doed and sunk by a German submar- ine off Fastnet last week. Nine other passengers are migsing and are he- lieved to have perished. The two Americans who went down with the ship were Mrs. Josephine Bruguiere, of New York, and Edmund T, Woods. The former was thrown into the water and was kept afloat for some time by her son Louis, who was forced to relinquish his hold when he was struck by a piece of wreckage. Nothing was seen of Woods: after the steamer .was struck. Most of the missing members of the crew belonged to the engineers' staff. They pemiined at' thelr" posts and went 'down with 'the ship. Captain Finch and the other officers of the Arabic assert the submarine gave them no warning. 'They declare the torpedo: was fired as. they were going. to the rescue of the steamer Dunsley, which had just been torpe- doed, presumably by the same "sub- 8. A statement made by Louis Bru- guire, & passenger on the Arabic, in- dicates there is no doubt that his mother, Mrs. Josephine L. Bruguire, act, | an American, was drowned, Me.

THINK OF OUR SICK AND WOUNDED DEFENDERS IN OVERSEAS' HOSPITALS. TO YOU It's UP TO "DO YOUR BIT" AT ONCE. ' WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER? ALLIED ADVANCE WAS SIX MILES Landing of Troops at Suvla Bay Was a Brilliant Coup for the British. A despatch from Athens says: De- tails show that in the latest opera- tions on the Gallipoli Peninsula the landing at Suvla Bay was one of the most brilliant pieces of work 'yet car- ried through during this war. The battle which followed the successful disembarkation of 'troops was one of the most stubborn and sanguinary battles yet fought for the possession of Hellespont and Constantinople. The chief point about the latest achievement is that it was a complete and staggering surprise. The turks had anticipated a new attack on the Asiatic side, and they had been fever- ishly fortifying the coastline as far south as Point Baba. ; Never before in military operations has:.any enemy been so: completely 'hoodwinked. 'The utmost secrecy as 'to the allies' plan was preserved, the various units composing. the landing force departing from their several bases éach unknown to the ' other. They composed the largest force ever yet thrown from the sea directly into a hostile country. The navy took charge of the land- ing, and hardly had the anchors found resting places in the sandy sea bot- tom than hundreds of small boats, pinnaces, launches, etc., were making swiftly and silently for the shore. Every soldier carried three days' ra- tions, as well as entrenching tools. As the men landed they formed and advanced on both sides of what the map gives as a salt lake, but which, during the burning days of summer, is a heat-baked, salt-encrusted, un-- even desert. Daylight came, and still the work was proceeding.' With the greatest possible speed artillery and supplies in vast quantities were put n sheava. and still no opposition was experienced... a . Unlike experiences wt Seddul Bahr | and Gaba Tepe, the warsnips were silent, and for 24 hours the landing was carried out without a from: big guns or rifles . y : and the section advanced in a south- direction 'toward the left of at ITALY DECLARES WAR ON TURKEY Ambassadors Been Handed Their Passports and Have Departed. A despatch from Rome says: Italy declared war on Turkey Saturday. The Turkish Ambassador to Rome, Naby Bey, has been handed his pass- ports, Marchese Garroni, the Italian Ambassador to Constantinople, has been instructed to notify the Turkish Government: of Italy's intention and immediately to demand his right of safe conduct from the country. J The Italian Government has sent to all its representatives abroad a circu- lar setting forth the questions at issue between Italy and Turkey. The des- atches closes with these words: "In view of these obvious infrac- tions of categorical promises made by the Ottoman Government and follow- ing up on our ultimatum of August 8 provoked by evasions 'of the Ottoman Government, particularly with regard to the free departure of Italian sub- jects from Asia Minor, the Italian Government has sent instructions to its Ambassador at Constantinople to declare war upon Turkey." Preparations for an extensive cam- paign against Turkey are known to have been completed. The military authorities, however, are maintaining the strictest secrecy regarding the objective of their plans. While the date on which the operations will be- gin is as little known as the objective, it is generally supposed that active warfare - against Turke: will com- mence ag Soon as Premier -Salandra' returns from the Austrian front, where he went to consult with King Victor Emmanuel. 3 It has been known here for a fort- night that an Italian war against Tur- key was inevitable, but the censorship, which has constantly become: strieter : has not permitted any forecasts to owe. the hig The restrictions aced on the fo correspondents re been some: ee magoudia may now be said that the Primary, ; cause of Italy's action was ong. standing defiance of this Government by Turkey in Tripoll. . : = =."
