That the German submarine which sank the White Star llrfer Arabic was captured tho day following the destruc tion of the transatlantic Bteamer was the assertion made today by an officer of tho British Royal Naval Reserve, who arrived hero on the Adriatic. This officer declared that ho had Been nnd talked with two members of tho submarine's crew. two ennws on u-boat. According to the British naval officer the. submarine had on. board two crews, ono of experienced seamen and tho othe of apprentices who. were being trained to operate submarines now under construc tion in Germany. Ho said that both crows are now Imprisoned In England. "Tho capture of the submarine was effected by three' English torpedo boats disguised as small merchant vessels," he added. , Pnssengors on tho Whlto Star liner Arabic had only six minutes to escape when the steamer was torpedoed, no warning being given by the German sub marine, according to Mrs. Zellah Coving ton, ono of the 85 survivors of th rablc, who arrived here today on tho ' Paul. " Mrs. Covington gave a graphic word picture of the disaster. "Second Officer Steele was on tho bridge of tho Arabic at tho time. Ho was tho first to seo the torpedo coming. I and several passengers, who were on deck, saw the torpedo when the second otllcer called down to direct our attention to It. A "HORRIBLE DREAM." "Tho torpedo wo,s headed for the bow of the Arabic. In response to signals from the bridge, the ship 's turned In a futile effort lo dodge the '.lsalle and the torpedo caught her In the stern. "It was horrible, horrible. Think of tho worst dream you have ever had and 1 en you will get an Inkling, but only an Ink ling of our experience; ono sickening thud, then a grapple with death. Wo could see the torpedo rushing through the water like an arrow. "For a moment wo feared that tho Bhlp might fall on us, but In two minutes she disappeared beneath the waves. There was nothing to mark the spot save our little boats' bobbing about and the moan ing and screaming of those left strug gling In the floating wreckage." WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.

On tho ono side It was contended that tho expansion extremists had been robbed of much of their thunder by the demon stration that even a very threatening controversy can bo settled peacefully If tho deposition exists to setlo it thus. On the other, it was contended that tho ultra-caclflsts. who thought tho Presi dent's attitude too dictatorial, navo sui fercd a severe setback in tho demon stration that It really was aimed cor rectly at an amicable adjustment of German-American differences of opinion. Developments of tho last days have convinced politicians that the Adminis tration plans to shape a middle course between the big and little army and navy groups In both parties.
