SURVIVOR'S NARRATIVE
PRESIDENT'S SUCCESS
IN CRISIS STRENGTHENS
NEW MILITARY POLICY
Victory in Negotiations With
Germany Will Aid in Plan
to Increase Army
and Navy
IDEAS STILL A SECRET
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.
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. Whether or
not tho Administration was depending on
success In Its negotiations with Germany
to help President Wilson In putting
thibugh his own particular army nnd
navy program In the next Congress, poli
ticians of all groups wcro uniting here
today In expressions of opinion that this
emphatically was ho result his diploma
tic victory would have.
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. Guesses as to
the extent of the army Increaso ho has

has been stated repeatedly on tho best
authority.
But on. thing has been admitted by

leaders with whom the Chief Executive
