KNEW FATE.OF ARABIC DESTROYER Ambassador Page Reported That U-Boat Had Been Sunk Washington, Sept. 1.—Bearing out reports that the German submarine which sank the Arabic had been sunk, state department officials today revealed that a report was re- ceived from Ambassador Page at London the day after the sinking of the steamer indicating that a German submarine had been destroyed near the scene of the Arabic disaster. Tt also was revealed at the state de- partment that affidavits had been re- ceived from survivors of the Runsley. the steamer which was attacked just before the Arabic was sunk, presum- ably by the same submarine. The af- fidavits told of seeing a submarine but said it bore no distinguishing marks. Secretary Lansing conferred briefly with the president just before seeing Count Von Bernstorff. He would not discuss the object of his visit to the ‘White House. herself British Admiralty Silent. London, Sept. 1, 11:50 a. m.—The admiralty has given out no informa- tion concerning the fate of the Ger- man submarine which sank the Ara- bic. Whether such information is in its possession is unknown. It is the policy of the admiraity to withhold news of this character. Unofficial reports that the subma- rine has been sunk are being circu- lated widely. It is sa:a the craft at- tempted to torpedo the British steam- er Nicosian, which arrived at Liver- pool from New Orleans on August 24, five days after the Arabic went down. According to this account, the Nico- sian escaped and the submarine, while attempting to sink her, fell vic- tim to a patrol boat. In Liverpool the report is current that the submarine has been captured, and not sunk. Not to Endanger Passengers. Berlin, Sept L.—"The difficulty created by the sinking of the Arabic will be settled,” says the I ikfurter Zeitung in an editorial yesterday in which it is asserted that “it was never the design of Germany, in pursuing her submarine war, to endanger pas- sengers aboard great liners.” The paper continues: “We have a strong desire for an agreement with America following th linstrucuons sent to Ambassador von 4ties today. Bernstorff—instructions that gained the basis for further discussion promised satisfactory results.” Two Things Possible. Berlin, Sept. 1.—Georg Bernhard has a long editorial in the Vossische Zeitung, which the Overseas News Agency summarizes as follows: “Mr. Bernhard reiterates that the circumstances surrounding the sinke< ing of the. Arabic are still unknown, but that only one of two things is pos- sible—either that the captain of the submarine feared that his vessel would be rammed or otherwise at- tacked and, fearing this, he fired & torpedo at the liner, or that the Ara- bic was not torpedoed at all, but struck by a mine.” TAKING PART IN SHOOT. Local Military Men at East Haven Tryout Match . Captain Ladbury of Company L, C. N. G, Captain Low of Company E, and Lieutenant James Hattings of Company 1, are in East Haven today, taking part in the tryout shoot for places on the team to represent the regiment at the national competition of military men at Jacksonville, Flor- ida, nmext week Captain Ladbury last year won a place on the team which competed in Ohio and in the contests he received special honors. He is confident that he will again capture a place on the team: Captain Low and Lieutenant Hat tings are both excellent marksmen and their friends are hopeful that they will secure marks today, which will warrant their selection as mem= bers of the team.
