BERLIN DOUBTS GERMAN BOAT
SENT LINER ARABIC TO BOTTOM
Admiralty Official Hints at
Floating Mines as Responsi
ble for Disaster Govern
ment Apprehensive
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
Copyright, 1013, by tha United Preu.
Copyrighted in Great Britain.
BERLIN, Aug. 13.
Officials here expressed doubt that a
German submarine sank the liner Arabic
especially without warning.
'J hey are reading carefully every dis
patch on the disaster, but every one In
official circles with whom I talked said
he doubted If the Arabic was sunk by a
German torpedo.
I talked today at the Admiralty with a
captain who Is In closo touch with the
American situation. He has Just been
promoted to bo commander of a large
ship.
"It will be from eight to 14 days be
fore the submarines which are away now
can report," said he, "Until 'ben we will
have no official Information.
"From reports In the Kngllsh, Dutch
and Scandinavian press it Is not certain
that a submarine sank the Arabic, No
one saw the submarine. Tho Alablc'a
captain says he saw a torpedo 300 .feet
away, but this does not seem probable."
The captain produced a Rotterdam tele
gram to a Berlin newspaper saying that
the Arabic's passengers were provided
with lifebelts when the ship reached the
"danger zone."
"What 'danger zone' was reached?"
asked the captain. "It is possible the
Arabic struck a mine. A Copenhagen
paper says that mines are floating off
the east and west coasts of Kngland.
There are so many doubtful points at Is
sue that I hope America will not Jump
to conclusions until an Investigation de
termines the fact.'
The above dispatch from Berlin Is the
first Indication from any source that Ger
many may deny that the Arabic was sunk
by a German submarine In one respect
It differs from another dispatch received
from Berlin Saturday night from Carl W.
Ackerman, stating that first reports of tha
sinking of the Arabic said all were save,d
and caused rejoicing In Berlin, but later
reports that four Americans were killed
"roused deep concern,"
Another dispatch received from Mr.
Ackerman later in the evening, but bear
ing some evidence that it had been tiled
before the previous dispatch, quoted a

Squadron Ends Three-Day
Encounter in Baltic
TETROGRAD, Aug. 23.
A British submarine has sunk the Ger
man dreadnought Moltke In the Gulf of
Riga. This was confirmed In nn official
ntatcment issued by tho Admiralty today.
Russian warships sank two German
cruisers and eight torpedoboats, but the
Russian gunboat Slvutch was sunk.
All the officers and sailors of the Slv
utch, numbering 1S5, nre believed to hae
perished. Her guns continued the battle
until the vessel was entirely submerged.
A last shot, fired ns the water closed
over her, sank a German torpedoboat.
Tho Admiralty's statement, which shows
there was fighting the Gulf ot Riga for
thrcn days, follows:
"In the Gulf of Riga, between August
IS nnd August 19. tho Russian fleet sank
two German cruisers and eight torpedo
boats. "An English submarine sank one of
the best German dreadnoughts.
"A strong German fleet, on August 16,
recommenced Its attack acatnst our posi
tions at the entrance to the Gulf of Riga.
Our ships, during August 16 nnd August
17, repulsed the enemy's ships and Im
peded their secret operations and prepara
tions to break through tho entrance.
"The Germans wero helped by a fog.
Aided by a thick fog. considerable Ger
man forces succeeded In entering the
gulf. Our ships strenuously resisted and
retired without losing touoh with the
enemy.
"On Thursday and Friday the Germans
made reconnaissances In the gulf in vari
ous directions, during which a series ot
fighting with the Russian fleet occurred.
The result was that the Germans suffered
considerable loss among their torpedo
boats. We lost the gunboat Slvutch.
which perished gloriously In the unequal
combat with a cruiser which, on Thurs
day evening, by torpedobont, attacked
her, firing at n distance of 1500 yards.
Thn Slvutch, nflame and her decks red
hot, continued tiring until she went down,
sinking a German torpedoboat as she
sank beneath the water. The guns of the
Slvutch continued to fire until she was
totally submerged.
"The enemy on Saturday, In conse
quence of his losses, apparently quitted
the gulf."
For the first time since the Russians
took Presmysl with 17,000 prisoners. Petro--grad
"celebrated' an Important victory to
day with, services of thanksgiving In 'the
