    Background to Front Cover Feature
    SS Arabic was a British-registered ocean liner that entered service in 1903 for the White Star Line. On August 19, 1915 U-24 sank the Arabic, outward bound for the United States, 50 miles south
    of Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland. Arabic was zigzagging at the time, and the commander of U-24 said that he thought she was trying to ram his submarine. He fired a single torpedo which struck
    the liner aft, and she sank within 10 minutes, killing 44 passengers and crew, 3 of whom were American. On August 22nd US President Wilson's press officer issued a statement to the effect that
    the White House staff was speculating on what to do if the Arabic investigation indicated that there had been a deliberate German attack.
