OTTAWA. Aug. 20.-With regard to
the tentative proposals for the amal- gamation of the Royal Bank and the Bank of Hamilton which have been placed before him. the Minister of Finance stated this evening that after giving the matter very careful con- sideration he had reached the con- clusion tha,t as both the banks in question are strong, favourably known and well established institutions and are actual and potential competitive factors in the Canadian banking field. it would not be in the public interest that he should give the consent re- quired from him under the terms of the Bank Act. and the parties have been notified accordingly.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-.‘\ German sub- `
marine lying long in wait with only its invisible eyes sweeping the steam- ship lane south of the coast of Ire- land saw its prey yesterday and quick- ly and without warning exploded a torpedo against the hull of the great Whitc Star Line sleamship Arabic.
in eleven minutes the stcamship
sank not far from where the Lusitania. was torpedoed, also without warning, with a great loss of life, including many Americans.
There were 423 persons on board.
Of these 132 were second cabin pas- sengers, forty-eight in the stcerage and the crew oi' 243 persons.
There were twenty-five Americans
on board. twenty-one in the cabin and four in the steerage.
Three hundred and seventy-five sur- ‘
vivors have been landed at Queens- town. Forty-eight persons are miss- ing oi' whom six are said to be pas- sengers. lt was not known this morn- ing if any oi' those six are Americans.
London is particularly anxious to-
day to know if this further and defiant act of a Gorman U-boat is to aggra- vate the strained relations existing between the linitod States and (lor- many. Prcsiriciit Wilaon’s last note to the imperial German Government stated specifically that the United States would insist upon the interna- tional rule oi' "visit and search” at sea before a vessel was sunk.
Captain Will Finch, of tho Arabic.
all his officers and all passengers who were on decks at tho time, report that thc submarine which sank thc Arabic gavo no warning, that the first many of them knew of tho tcrror‘s prcscnco was a groot gap in the starboard sitio of the Arabic's hull, 100 feet from the
stern.
The Arabic left Liverpool on Wed- nesday afternoon at three o'clock,. bound for New York with 180 passen-‘ gers, 243 in the crew, 2,800 bags of first-class mall for the United States and 336 bags of package mail. Sho
also had about 3.600 tons of cargo.
Her steaming was not announced
publicly until nine o'ciock yesterday morning, when the Government be- lieved she would be out oi’ the war izone in which German submarines have been successfully operating for months. Fifteen minutes after her voyage was announced she was tor- pooed in latitude 50.50 north and longitude 8.32 west, which is sixty miles southeast of Fastnet and an equal distance southwest of Kinsale, off which the Lusitania was sent to
the bottom.
Apparently the Arabic had takcn
the Outer channel on her way out, whilo thc Lusitunia had taken thc northern channel nearer to tho shore. But a Gorman li-boat was there wait- ing for her with only the periscope
above water.
At about the time the Arabic was

sunk the same German submarine sent a torpedo against the steamship Dunsiey which left Liverpool for Bos- ton at about the time the Arabic left. She was within sight of the Arabic at the time. it is not known if she was torpedoed before or after the Arabic was sunk. lt is known that tho tor- pedo was not as effective against the Dunsicy as against the Arabic and that the Dunsley picked up many oi’ the ArabIc's survivors.
J. G. Dolorimicr, barrister, son-in-
law of Mr. Justice Brodeur, of thc Su- premo Court, Ottawa, was tho only Montreal passenger on the Arabic, so for as known tonight. He landed safely at Queenstown, so a cable stated. Frank Tattersall, of Coati- cook, Que., and his wifc and family were on the Arabic.
QUEENSTOWN. Aug. 20.--The land-
ing herc yesterday evening of the sur- vivors of thc ill-fated White Star Line steamer Arabic was it pitiablc sccnc. All of them were scantily clothed, and none of them had hat or head cover- ings of any kind.
A large number of the survivors
were suffering from injuries to their heads and other wounds, or from shock, and thc effects of being forced to take open bouts scanlily aiiircd.
Many of the women wcrn in their
berths when the lincr was torpedoeii and 1'un to thc deck in their night clothing. These were provided with blankets when they were taken from boats and rafts by the crews of the rescue ship. A number of those saved were picked out of thc water, and arrived hero in their sea-soaked clothing. Tho people of Queenstown gave thcin every possible nftcntion ami provided fresh outfits for many of them. Thcro were some pathetic sccncs of grief ovcr the loss of the members of seine of thc families on board the liner.
A. H. Ncbeker, of Logan, Utah, who.
when he arrived here, had on only a hathrobc, said that thc crew worked spiendidiy under Captain Fiuch's direction in the short ten minutes which they had to get the passengers into the boats, and but for the fine discipline maintained and the excel- lent work of the rescuing tug officers at least a couple of hundred persons would have been lost. The submarine. according to Mr Nebeker, was seen before it launched the torpedo, but
there was not time enough to escape t. The American Vice-Consul here ns-
sisted the local authorities in aiding the survivors.
Captain Finch. who is suffering from
injuries to his leg, said last night that he did not sec the submarine, but dis- tinctly observed the torpedo approach- ing the ship.
"It was then impossible to escape
it," said the captain. "We had only eight minutes to get the boats away and save all on board.”

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The garrison of
ft b h Y d
when he commenced the evacuation of Poland to delay the advance of the German invaders. After accomplish- ing the task for a fortnight the garri- son succumbed to the heavy siege artillery of the Germans which throughout the war has made every fort attacked by it untenable. Berlin to-day announces the capture of the ‘fortress with its seven hundred guns and a large quantity of war material. The spoils have not been estimated, but it is probably large, as it was hoped by the Russians that the earth- works around the fortified camp would enable it to hold out longer. It is expected that other Russian fertresses will be captured or given up. After the fall of Kovno Field Marshal Von Hlndenburg’s army commenced again an offensive, the object being the tak- ing of the Riga and Warsaw Petrograd railway. He is meeting with resist- ance and may be denied Riga unless the German fleet enters the gulf of Riga. South of Kovno the Russian armies, after the fall of Kovno, fell toward the Niemcn River and, accord- ing to the German account, arc offer- ing resistance. There is seemingly danger of this line being forced by direct attack. Six Austro-German armies, strengthened by the corps which have bccn investing Novo Georgicvsk are converging on thc ltussinn centre. which is behind the Bug and along the railway, to com- mence the bombardment of Brest- Litovsk. Other armies cleared the left bank of thc Bug before Brest- Litovsk, while i~`ii-_ld Marshal Von Mackcnzen crossed the Bug, advancing on the fortress from thc south. This indicates that thc obstacle ot' the marshes has been circumventctl and llrcst-Litovsk virtually enveloped. ’l`hc opinion is that thd Grand lluko probably will bc able io withdrnw safely. The loss of the railway lines is considered it gravcr military mis- fortune than thc loss of Warsaw. (lcrman successes arc duo entirely to the superiority of their artillery, and the belief is thnt_as long ns they main- tain this and continue to press for- ward the Russians must retire before them. While thc Russians rcmain intact, however. thc -critics arc opti- mistic as to thc future. Emperor William. who is reported to have ar- rived at Novo Gcorgicvsk, will, ii. is understood. make it sintc entry into Warsaw and lot it be known by nn- nounccment what thc future sinlus of Poinmi will bc. Along ihc wcsiorn front. there has been llvoi_incss in the fighting. It is evident that the fresh landing of British troops nt Suvin Bay on Gallipoli Peninsula. was robbed of its element of surprise by the appear- ance of Turkish reinforcements. This has proved a disappointment, tho only gain being another strip of the penin- sula in possession of the Allies. While on the way to the Baltic to help the Russians, the British submarine E-13 grounded on the Danish island ot' Salt- hoim in the Sound, according to thc Admiralty. A Ilerlin official announce- ment says thc boat was destroyed. 15 members of the crew of 30 are missing. That there is no mention in the fore- going of the steamer Arabic indicates that the llritish censor is not permit- ting furthcr news of the disaster to pass.
