WAS' SUNK. B BY QERMA! SU! Announcement Made by Semi-official Overseas gency. Washington, Nov. 20.—nnouncement by the semi-official Overseas News Agency that a German submarine sank the P. & O. liner Arabla made a deep impression in official quarters here today and apparently removed all possibility that this case might take its place With that of the Per- sia, sunk in the Mediterranean lons g6 in some manner never cleared up. The British admiralty said the Persia was torpedoed withont warning, but none of the central powers wonld ad- mit responsibility for it. Officials were loath to discuss the matter in the absence of official in- formation which, it is understood, is being sought from all sources. Some of them expressed surprise, however, that the attack upon the Arabia had been semi-officially admjtted. It was suggested that the Overseas despatch might mean that Germany was pre- paring to make a test in this of the “armed ship” controversy with the United Ssates or that in some way a minor_official, hostile to Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg’s submarine policy, might have allowed the res- patch’'to get out, seeing in it an op- portunity to force the issue. It has been known here for some time that Germany woulé make a bitter fight azainst the defensive arming of mer- chant ships. cotton Manufacturers’ Association of this city voted today to grant a ten per cent, increase in pay to their 33,- 000 operatives to be effective for a pe. rlod of six months beginning Decem ber 4. increase is the third witl in the calendar year and brings the to- tal advagce within that time to 27 1-2 per cent. This is the biggest raise within a year that the mill hands have ever recelved. It will increase the to- tal annual payroll of the mills about 31,:00.000 to approximately $19,000,~ The Manufacturers' Assoclation in- cludes only the cloth mills but the yarn mills always have followed the cloth mills in the past, so that labor leaders expect the incréase to be gen- eral throughout ihe city.
