(From our own correspondent)
OTTAWA, Aug. 25.-Farther ten-
sion has been created in the capital on the Bilingual Question by the an- nouncement to-day of the dismissal of the Rev. Dr. Sherry from the teach- ing staff of the Ottawa University. The Rev. Father Cllarlebois, of the Oblate Order, under whose direction the college is rlln, last evening in- formed llim that ills services would be no lollger required. Dr. Sherry, wllo has been on the University teach- ing staff for thirteen years, and one of the beat known of the clergy ill tho diocese oi’ Ottawa, is the last of a long list of Engiisil-speaking profes- sors to be released fronl the Univer- sity. Five or six years ago sixteeli of the forty members nf the stall’ of the Ottawa University were English- speaking. Now the ‘indications point that only two English-speaking pro-

fessors, the Rev. Fathers Killian and llealey, will be left, making the Uni- versity practically a French one. it is alleged that the Rev. Father tlbar- lebois in announcing to Dr. Sherry the fact of his removal, intimated that ill the clash which has occurred between the l~‘rench and English- .speaking sections on the Bilingual Question tllat it was deemed advis- able to replace some of the ldugiisll- speakillg professors by teachers ill sympatlly with the propaganda now `beiug carried out. Feeling is running high iu irish Catholic circles over the incident. Among the younger ele- ment of the lrisll Catholics there is considerable feeling over the depar- ture of the Rev. Father Stanton, who, as a cllampioll of manly sport, is well known all over the Continent of Amer- icq. Rev. Father Mycbei Murphy, professor of lnatllcnlnilcs, has also been informed of his removal.

BERLIN, Aug. 24.- (Via Lolldon).
.--N0 further details concerning the sinking of the Arabic have been pub- lished here, and the 1;-erlin papers re- train' .from comment upon the situa- tion resulting from that event. .The newspapers publish what pur- ports to be a brief despatch to the London Telegraph quoting Joseph P. Tumulty, President Wilsoll's secre- tary, as saying -that Americans are unitedly with the President, and will, if necessary, offer their lives to maintain the inalienable rights of Americana on land and on sca.
The Kreuz Zeitung saysz- “These
inalienable rights as is known, don- sist of using British passenger stea- mers."
Several papers publish -the Arabic’s manifest on a trip from New York. to London beginning July 29, as cou- tained in a report of the German-Ann erican Chamber of Commerce of New York. This report says that the Arabic, "which was paillted like a battleship, had twelve American guar- dian angels aboard.”

(From our own correspondent)
OTTAWA, Aug. 25.-Despite the
difficulties which have been ill the way of large financing durillg the past year, it is learned here that all `thc (hlnadian provincial alul nlulli- cipal obligations afloat in London at thc olltbrcak of thc war have been provided for. The nlain portion ln- ticed have been actually paid oii'. This _gratifying record is looked upon here ‘as another proof of great strength of (lnnaliinn municipal and provincial credit in London.
The only .serious difficulty which oc-
curred this allnlmcr was a temporary default on treasury bills of the City of Prince Rupert, amounting to .E 280.000. ami maturing last Jlllle. The
'Imperial Treasury Board rather un- expectedly resolved not to sanction a ‘renewal of more than six mollths and hence the default. Tile matter was taken up by the Canadian Govern- mcllt, with the result that the Britisll authorities agreed to a longer renew- `ul alld it is announced that the whole _transaction has now been regular- _ized. Part of the loan was, it is un- derstood, liquidated with fullds raised in thc United States.
WHITE STAR CO.'S STATEMENT.
LONDON. Aug. 24.-The managers
of the White Star Line at Liverpool gave out to the newspapers to-day the followingz-
" At the time of the Lusitania tor-
pedolng many misleading and untrue statements appeared relfarding U10 yessel. Similar statements are be ginning to be hinted at in connection rwith the Arabic, which are equally untrue. For this reason we thought ‘you would like to have one or two definite facts that had better be pub- Tished at once in order to prevent people from llazarding opinions and finding excuses for the torpedoing. “The facts are: There is no doubt :the Arabic was struck with a torpedo. (Tapiaiu Finch did not see the sub- marine, but uudoubtodiy saw the tor- edo. D " There is no question of the Arabic ,having tried to ram the submarine. because it was not seen from the bridge.
“ There is no question of the Arabic
having tried to escape, except the very proper precaution of having put the 'helm hard over when they sew the torpedo.
“ The Arabic was undoubtedly sunk
.without warning. She was in peaceful trading, with various nationalities aboard. She was outward bound, so ‘there is' no question of munitions, and she was not disguised in any way, nor had she any guns mounted. '
" The statement has appeared in the
e
press that she was off the south coast of ireland. which leads some peopi to think she was near the const: as a matter of fact, she was over sixty miles south of ireland.
" With respect to precautions taken
these were very thorough and very proper, having regard to all that has taken place in the danger lone. The captain had life jackets on hand for everybody. Rafts were unlalhld and ideok lifeboats opened up.. and both .rafts and deck lifeboat: played an im- portant part in life-anvil. ll well ll the regular lifebdts."

it was also said in the communica-
tion tllat the German Government will deeply regret such a loss of life. and would tender the sincerest sympathies to the American Government.
Tile text of the matter given out by
Count Von Bernstorff' read as follows:
"Tile German Ambassador received
the following instructions from Berlin which he communicated to the Depart- ment of State: :
" So for no ofiicial information avail-
able concerning the sinking of the Arabic. The German Government trusts tllat the American Government will not take a definite stand at the hearing of only the reports of one side wllich, ill the opinion of the Im- perial Goverunlout, cannot correspond witll the facts, but that i1 chance will be given to Germany to be heard equally.
“ Although the imperial Government
does not doubt the good faith of the witnesses whose statements are re- ported by tlle newspapers ill Europe, it should be borne ill luind that these statements are naturally made under excitement which might easily produce wrong' iulprossiolls. li' Americans
this would naturallv be contrary to our intentions. The German-Goverlr ment would deeply regret the fact and begs tender sincerest sympathies to the American Government.” _
Tile Ambassador made no comment
on the statement and an attacile said the statement spoke for itself.
The statement was given out from
Count Volt Bernstorli in a room ill an llpfown hotel. The Ambassador denied himself to all callers to-day.

ENGINEER FALLS
UNDER TRAIN, HEAD
SEVERED FROM BODY.
HARTLAND, Aug. 23.- A shock-
ing accident occurred at the lower end of the railway yard here at 10.30 this morning. The southbound oc- commodatlon itrain, known as No. 156 had just arrived and the engillecr, Jack Keezer, left his engine to get -his pay cllcck cashed at the Ballk of Montreal. On his return the conduc- tor called the "all aboard," and ill order to avoid delay, -the engineer signalled his fireman to start up while ile climbed the side of a box car ill- _tending to reach his engine over the ,train.
Just what happened after that no
one seems to know, but the engineer not appearing pronlptly. the firolnan stopped the train, which was a long one and on going back some distance found the mutilated body of his com- panion oll the track with his head severed from the body. one hand cut ;ofi` and otherwise mangled, several ;cars having passed over the unfortun- ,ate mall.

SUMMARY OF. WAR SITUATION
(Special to the Guardian.)
LONDON, Aug. 25.-Au official re-
port of recent operations in Gallipoli Peninsula issued to-nlgllt set at rest rumours which have been ill circula- tion for several days, crediting British troops with having either cut off or outfluuked Turkish forces opposed to tlkem. The report states that wlliie the ground gained is of great value the true objectives have not been reached. lil the first attacks early in the mollth the Australians and New Zealanders reached the summits of Srai Buhr and Chaultk Bahr, comluand- ing positions on the west coast of the Peninsula, but through i'aiiure of a new landing pariy at Suvln Bay to make the progress expected, the troops from the Domiulons were compelled to fall back. Another attack was made last Saturday, but on this occasion, having lost the advantage of a sur- prise the British could not reach the summit and were compclledto retire again. The report admits heavy British losses, but adds that those of the Turks must _have been heavier. Altogether the British ilold a front of twelve miles along the west side of the peninsula and at some points have penetrated a considerable distance into the interior. Tile Turks are making a very stubborn defence of their positous, but the Allies have con- fidence that with strong forces at their command and the assistance of the fleet thc Dardallcllcs will be forced before the arrival of unfavourable weatller, which is due towards the cud of September. . Weather conditions also are play- ing a part in the operations on the Eastern front. it is reported that the roads in Courtland are softening ai- ready, the result oi' continued rains. ,and that the Germans are finding it ,more difiiclllt to move forward their artillery They arc still trying, how- ever, to folcc back the Russians who _are holding the linc between the _Rivers Assa and Dvnia and claim to _have been successful at one poillt at least. General Echoru, wllo captured Kovno, is advancing Eastwarli. ac- cording to Berlin while progress is reported by each of thc five armies which :irc lnarclling on Brest Litovsk. One of these armies, that on the Southwest front, is said to have brok- _,en through one of the advanced posi- tions of the fortress. General Echorn's plan is to march rapidly on Vilna and after occupying that town to attenlpt all advance on Mlak, tllus placing the army on the Russiali line of retreat from the Bug, wlllic l"ielll Marshal Voll McI{ellzcll and Prince Leopold of iiavaria continue their ef- _forts to envelope Iirost-Litovsk. As Grand Duke Nicholas still lm:-l several lines of railroad open to lliln and as ills reur-guard heretofore have shown their ability to hold off the Austra- Germalls uniil their retirelnent was effected, military writers here do not believe this plan will succeed.
Tile only event of importance re-
ported froln the Western frontier is the recapture by Germans of ll por- tion of trenches they lost to the French ill the Vosgcs. Elsewhere it has been only a repetition ol’ artillery, hand grenade and mine fighting.

(Special to the Guardian.)
PETROGRAD, via London, Allg. 25.
-A vivid story of a German effort to lalld troops in Pernau, in tile north- east corner of the Gulf of Riga, is told by a Russian olilcial from Pernau, wllo has reached here. “ On the evellillg of tl\`e"19tll', at fl 'o’ci0`ck," while' the'"eiite oi' the 50.000 people of the city were assenlblell in the naval park listening to a build concert, a policeman order- ed them to disperse. Then it was noticed that a German ship was off shore far away toward the horizon. Silo remained for some time making observations. It appeared later that the Russians had signalled the ship to halt, not knowing her nationality, and tllat such signals remained un- answered. People did llot become alarmed until callnonading was heard at sea during the night. At ten in the evening the smoke of seven Ger- man ships became visible. Three of them seemed to be light cruisers and four others large transports. Soon the Russian batteries on shore opened fire on the German squadron. The Germull ships replied. and a continu- ous roar of 'guns' froln botll sides coalesced illto a migllty -chaos of sounds. The German ships were three miles away, being unable to come nearer on account of the shallow water. Their fire was inaccurate. Nobody in Perllau was killed, but a few persons in Oretels lost their lives. '1‘he railway lilies were slightly dam- aged but quickly repaired. The Ger- nlans fired uninterruptedly from

should actually have lost their lives ' ' . ' ' ' tllree ill the afterllooll. Panic seized
the population. People of all classes rushed for the railroad stations and lllally were carried away on crowded trains, passengers occupying even the roofs of cars. Tile traill moved slowly tllrougll the suburbs and pas- sengers clinlbed aboard as it passed. lfronl thc cars there were seen the hulls of tllree German transports which the Russian artillery had crippl- ed, tlle Russian fire having been ac- curate. Upoll the repulse of the Ger- man squadron the traill returned. bringing the people and telegraph officials. Another report says the Rus- sians captured German transports and sloops carrying a landing force and sullk two torpedo boats.

WELSH MINERS ARE
STILL DiSSATiSFlED.
LONDON, Aug. 24.- Tile decision
of Walter Rllncinlall, President of the Board of Trade, who acted as arbi- .trwtor on numerous disputed ques- ‘tlolls in the south Wales coal strike, was announced last evening. A des- patch recolved from Cardiff just be- fore milinight indicates his decLslon _is likely to meet with vigorous op- postion from the miners. : Tile decision is highly technical but a number of the miners demands relating to working conditioins hours of labor and arbitration, arrange- _ments are rejected, although wage concessions are made. Vernon Hart- shore, the miners’ leader, telegraph- ed from Cardic, "The Runcimlm set- tlement is impossible. Even it the leaders accept it, workmen who do not benefit by it would refuse it, and they can tie up the whole field. Runci- _man has taken away what David ',l.loyd George and Arthur Henderson promised the miners and has brought about a danscrous crisis."
One of the principal disputed
points was whether sny` increase in wages granted at the present time. was to be regarded merely as a war- bonus or as a permanent adjustment. Mr. Runciman decided the new agree- ment is applicable only to the abnor- mal conditions prevailing during the war, and is not intended to form a precedent or to Apply to normal

from other nations for about 27.3 per cent. of her foodstuffs.
“It should be borne in nlind that
Gerlnauy's isolation is not complete," the report asserts, "since about S,- 300,000 bushels of wheat have been brought in since the outbreak of thc war and not lunch less fodder, which is about one-tenth of normal imports per year."
It is estimated tllat ill 1915-16, on
the basis of the prcsellt bread card distribution, ll denlllnd for about 7,- 380,000 tons of breadstuffs must be supplied from a supply ranging frolll 7.500.000 to 8,000,000 tons, not includ- ing 33,570.000 barrels of flour left over from last year's crop. _ "The conclusion ls," the report dc- clares, "that all demands for bread- ,stuffs and potatoes can be filled. it will be possible to increase the amount of bread per head on the bread cards, and sugar and nliilk will _be sufficiently sllppiied. Tile meat consumption, however, will have to undergo restrictions, and lt seems that a limitation of 40 to 50 per cent. will have to be figured with.”
