Twentyâ€"eight of the crew have been landed at Mazarron, Spain. CUNARD STEAMER SUNK NEAR COAST OF SPAIN ROUMANIAN TROOPS MOBILIZE CAVALRY REGIMENTS INCLUDED "In so doing, it assumes that, as a matter of course, the arbitral deciâ€" sion shall not be admitted to have the importance of a general decision on the permissibility or the converse !mder international law of German ubmarine warfare." "If it should prove to be the case that it is impossible for the German and American Governments to reach a harmonious opinion on this point, the German Government would be prepared to submit the difference of opinion, as being a question of iterâ€" national law, to The Hague Tribunal for arbitration, pursuant to article 38 of The Hague Convention for the pacific settiement of iternational disâ€" putes. "The German Government is unâ€" E.ble, however, to acknowledge any bligation to grant indemnity in the matter, even if the commander should have been mistaken as to the aggresâ€" sive intentions of the Arabic. "On Aug. 19 a German submarine stoped the English steamer Dunsley about 16 nautical miles south of Kinsale, and was on the point of sinkâ€" â€"«lng the prize by gun fire after the crew had left the vessel. At this moment the commander saw a large steamer making directly towards him. This steamer, as developed later, was the Arabic. She was recognized as /an enemy, as she did not fly any flag @And bore no neutral markings. "When she approached she altered her original course, but then again . pointed directly towards the submaâ€" Blrine. From this the commander beâ€" "The German Government most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the action of the commander. It particularly expresses this regret to the Government of the United Btates on account of the death of its citizens. "This conclusion is all the more obâ€" vious as he had been fired upon at a great distance in the Irish Sea on Aug. 14â€"that is, a few days beforeâ€"by a large pasenger steamer, apparently beyonging to the British Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, which he had neither attacked nor stopped. "According to his instructions the commander was not allowed to attack the Arabic without warning and withâ€" out saving the lives unless the ship attempted to escape or offered resistâ€" ance. He was forced, however, to conâ€" clude from the attendant . cireumâ€" stances that the Arabic planned a vioâ€" lent attack on the submarine. Pame convinced that the steamer had the intention of attacking and ramâ€" ming him. In order to anticipate this attack he gave orders for the submaâ€" rine to dive, and fired a torpedo at the steamer. After firing he conâ€" vinced himself that the people on board were being rescued in fifteen boats. A despatch from Berlin says: Gerâ€" many‘s note to the United States bearâ€" Ing on the sinking of the White Star Line Steamer Arabic, which was comâ€" municated to the American Ambassaâ€" dor, James W. Gerard, for transmisâ€" sion to Washington, is in the form of a memorandum under date of Sept. 7, the text of which follows: Germany, in Note to U. S., Sees No REFUSES TO PAY â€"â€"â€"FOR LIVES LOST A despatch from London says: Col. Repington, the Times‘ military expert, l%discussing the question, "What will @he Germans do next?" declares that they find themselves in the state of perplexity as Napoleon did after his suceess at Vitopsk, the outcome of which was Moscow.

It is asserted that the Austroâ€"German explanation is that the concentration is directed toward the suppression of espionage in Transylvania, but that this statement is not taken seriously. suspended in favor of the troop moveâ€" ments. All horses have been requisiâ€" tioned. The second series of reserves are now with the colors. A despatch from London says: A curious sight near the Strand was a London motor ‘bus returned from the front marked, "Non stop, Berlin." It was on one of these that the Canâ€" adians rode into Ypres. "NON STOP, BERLIN," As for the rest of the entire front, however, Petrograd, in summing up the situation, asserts the Austrians and Germans have been "dashing from one part of the line to the other in an effort to strike a decisive blow." |Battles Continue Intense at Many Points Along the Russian Line. A despatch from London says: An exhaustive official statement issuâ€" ed by the Russian War Office, coverâ€" ing practically every essential sector of the front in Galicia, Poland and [Russia proper, permits of but one conclusionâ€"that the Czar‘s forces are no longer continuously retreating, but that they have made a determined stand virtually along the whole front, checking the onrush of the Austroâ€" German armies almost everywhere and pushing a thus far successful ofâ€" fensive in Galicia. Only at one point does the official Russia war bulletin admit success on the part of the Teutonic adversary, namely in the district east of Vilkoâ€" mir, northâ€"east of the captured fortâ€" ress of Kovno, and not far from the Vilna â€" Dwinsk â€" Petrograd railroad. Here the Austroâ€"Germans, with the aid of strong field and siege artillery, are advancing thus far without check, the statement declares. Hopes that the submarine crisis had been safely passed, and that a break between Germany and the United States had been avoided were displaced toâ€"day by misgivings. Talk of the possibility of breaking diploâ€" matic relations was heard again, alâ€" though this time it involved both the central powers, on the theory that Austria after having her Ambassador practically dismissed from the counâ€" try might stand with her ally in relaâ€" tions with the United States. NO RELAXATION QON KAST FRONT Coupled with Germany‘s disappointâ€" ing and unsatisfactory explanation of the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic, after Count von Bernstorff had given assurances that full satisâ€" faction would be given if it was esâ€" tablished that a German submarine sank the ship, official Washington views the frtendly relations with the Germanic powers strained more toâ€" ward the breaking point than ever beâ€" fore. A despatch from Washington says: President Wilson‘s request for the reâ€" call of the Austrian Ambassador, Dr. Constantin _ Theodor Dumba, has broadened into a situation involving Captain Franz von Papen, the miliâ€" tary attache of the German Embassy; Alexander Nuber von Pereked, the Austrian â€" Consulâ€"General in New York, and possibly Count von Bernsâ€" torf, the German Ambassador. The official view is that the Ambassador, although technically involved, is not so seriously concerned as the military attache or the Consulâ€"General, It is not unlikely that both of the latter may be recalled or dismissed from the country. U. S. RELATIONS GROW STRAINED Two More Austrian Officials Are Likely to Be Sent Back to & Vienna. "The situation is clear enough, and noâ€"matter what the German decision is, the allies can regard it with equaâ€" nimity. We have not been so foolishly generous as our present enemy has been with initiative as a gift, and the question is not only what he proposes to do next, but what the allies proâ€" pose to do. Time will show." what says: the ‘Germans will ‘decide, but SIGN ON LONDON BUS A despatch from _ Melbourne, Ausâ€" tralia, says: The entire membership of the House of Representatives of the Federal Parliament, the legislative body of the Commonwealth of Austraâ€" lia, has pledged itself never again to purchase German goods. Rearâ€"Admiral C. L. Vaughanâ€"Lee has been selected for this Appointment Commodore M. F. Sufter, the present.; director of the air service, will be in charge of the material side of the naval aeronautical work, with the title of superintendent of aircraft conâ€" struction. AUSTRALIAN MEMBERS BUY NO GERMAN GOODS. A despatch from London says: Owing to the rapid expansion of the Royal Naval Air Service, both with respect to personnel and material, the Admiralty has decided to place it unâ€" der the direction of a flag officer, with the title of director of the air service. Immediately after the Zeppelin raid the press and public demanded an efâ€" fective organization of London‘s deâ€" fences against air raids similar to that of Paris. Some newspapers advocated reprisals by raids on German towns. The appointment of Sir Percy Scott evidently is in answer to thig agitaâ€" tlon, "The east coast hasvagain \been vigâ€" ited by hostile aircraft. Bombs were dropped, but there were no casualties, and the only damage reported is that some telegraph wires are down and some glass is broken." ; BRITISH AIR SERVICE UNDER FLAG OFFICER Only Damage That Was Occasioned by the Latest Zeppelin Raid on © Sunday Night. London, Sept. 13.â€"The Official Press Bureau announces that Rearâ€"Admiral Sir Percy M. Scott has been appointed in full command of the gunnery deâ€" fences of London against German Zepâ€" pelin raids, following the announceâ€" ment of another Zeppelin raid over the eastern coast of England. The attack is described in the folâ€" lowing official report: GERMAN BOMBS _ BROKE WINDOWS In retaliation for the recent bomâ€" bardment of Luneville and Compeigne by hostile aeroplanes, a squadron of 19 French aeroplanes flew over the town of Treves, dropping about a hundred shells. The station and the Bank of the Empire were undoubtedly reached. The same squadron after having reâ€" turned to its base, dropped 58 shells on the station at Dommary and on Barâ€" oncour. Other aeroplanes bombarded from a low altitude the stations at Donaueschingen, on the Danube, and Marbach. In one region where the movements of troops were reported the efficacy of the French fire against the objects aimed at was established, including a train in transit, which was obliged to stop. A despatch from London says: The operations in the west are marked by the continuance of the great artillery battle from Belgium to the Argonne. A duel between guns of all calibres along the entire front has now been going on for nearly three weeks, and has been particularly violent around Arras, in the Argonne and Champagne. At several points the German infantry, after a heavy bombardment, attempted to storm the advanced trenches of the allies, but the French reports say that these attacks all failed.

This interesting picture was received by The Daily News from Mr. Paul Rochat, former language master of Harbord Collegiate Institute, who, as a reservist, returned to France at the outbreak of the war.

Sir Robert Cecil in a speech at Croydon declared that the Angloâ€"French forces are within little distance of a great success in the Dardanelles which would have an enormous effect on all parts of the world. A despatch from London says: It will be recalled that Winston Churchâ€" ill, formerly First Lord of the Admirâ€" alty, now Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, said_ shortly before the Cabinet changes that the allies were within a few miles of final viectory at the Dardanelles. News from the interior of Asiatic Turkey is appalling. The massacres are continuing systematically, since the Moslems are determined to rid Turkey of all Christians. Within Little Distance of a Triumph That Will Affect All World, Says Lord Robert Cecil. A despatch from Rome says: Three Armenian girls have been rescued from Turkish massacre. An American physician on his return to New York said before his departure that the Turks practically massacred 14,000 Armenians in Trebizond alone, where they looted and burned the houses.

Heres a Free Treat for s _ Your Canary According to information received in Bulgaria from reliable sources, the allies are now concentrating large forces, including heavy landing artilâ€" lery for a new general attack on the Dardanelles. The presence of mineâ€" sweepers at Seddulâ€"Bahr, near the entrance to the Straits, is regarded as foreshadowing increased activity, including a vigorous bombardment of the outer Dardanelles forts. Acâ€" cording to a despatch to the Temps from Dedeaghatch, the Bulgarians are actively fortifying that port and its environs. . Heavy guns are being placed at all stragetic points. A despatch from Petrograd says: Russian torpedoâ€"boat destroyers and seaplanes have been sent in pursuit of German submarines operating near the Crimean coast in the Black Sea, according to an official statement isâ€" sued at the War Office. The losses have been so heavy ta Norwegian shipping that war risks inâ€" surance rates have been increased and restrictions imposed. Up to date the Norwéegian War Risk Bureau has inâ€" curred risks aggregating $2,000,000 aind collected in premiums but $1â€" 820,000. ENEMY SUBMARINES INVADE THE BLACK SEA Of the number of vessels flying the Norwegian flag lost 13 were destroyed by mines, 24 by torpedoes, three disâ€" appeared in the war zone, and one was crushed by a German warship. Still another was taken as a prize ta Hamburg. A despatch from Washington says: The State Department has made pubâ€" lic a report from the American Miniâ€" ster at Christiania, Norway, disclosâ€" ing that Norway has lost 41 vessels since the war began. _ Seventyâ€"six sailors have perished. Whether the neutrality of the United States would be questioned in case the bankers financing the mammoth loan should accept straight British and French Government notes as their seâ€" curity has been given serious consgiderâ€" atlon. It was said that the financiers familiar with the plan had every reaâ€" son to believe that the Washington Administration would not interfere. 41 NORWEGIAN SHIPS LOST SINCE WAR BEGAN If this vast sum of money is obtainâ€" ed, it was said, it is to be spent, to the last penny, in the United States in payment of wheat, cotton, meat and other commodity shipments, including munitions of war. It will therefore, in the opinion of financial authorities, be classified as a commercial loan.
