SAVE GERMAN
KIDNAPPED BY
GREEK BANDITS
Scientist Held for Ransom
Of $225, 900, Recalling Ell
len Stone Case, is Safe at
Salonika.

Berlin, Aug. ga dispatch from
Salonika, Turkey, states that DR.. I'D
mund Richter, the German engineer
who was captured by Greek bandits
ald held for ransom Of $225,000, has
been rescued on the Geek frontier
and is returning to Salonika.
DR.. Richter was engaged in mapping
on Mount Olympus in the wild frontier
region between Turkey and greece
under the auspices of a German
geographical society when he fell into
the hands Of the brigands on May 70.
The capture took place inside Turkish
territory and his escort Of Turkish
gendarmes was killed. Letters from
Lalois, the bandit leader, demanding
a ransom, were delivered by Turkish
villagers. The German government
acted promptly and a small army OF
Turkish soldiers were sent In pursuit
of the bandits. At the same time
of the German govern
ment and Of the geographical society
secured the mountains carrying with
them the gold for the ransom OF the
doctor. For weeks the search was with
out result. Recently news dispatches
stated that the pursuit has been
abandoned as it had been learned
definitely that Richter was held In
Tirnavos on Greek territory In the
house Of one Deliannis. The dispatches
also insisted that DR.. Richter, like
Miss Ellen Stone, the American mis-
sionary who was ransomed by a Bull
garian for $65, 5000, had been captured
not by ordinary mountain brigands,
but by the Greek national society, and
the affair was an incident in the war
fare between the Greeks and Bulgar-
ians..
The ransom, Is was assumed, was
destined to further the war breaking
ont anew in Mace; onia. sss,

FAMOUS WORK
OF ART STOLEN
NO TRACE or MONA LISA, MISS
ING FROM LOUVRE. OR OF ITS
THIEF FOUND.

Paris, Aug, 23.-Louis Lepine the
prefect of police frankly admits com.
plete mystiflcation In regard to the
disappearance. from the Louvre OF
Leonard Da Vincis most famous work
known generally as ''Mona Lisa" but
popularity called by the French La
Joconde."
UP to this afternoon not trace of
the picture or the thief has been
found.
The attendants at the Salon Carre
in which the painting has had its
place of honor for five years now tell
Of. having wondered at the rapt and
longing regard given the portrait by
a young man who during recent weeks
frequently visited the Louvre. He
would gaze strangely at the dark
Italian beauty as though enthrilled
with her divine smile" The theory
presented is that this man probably OF
disordered fancy. has abducted Mona
Lisa" SO that he may have her al
ways with him.
At the conclusion Of today investiga-
tion the officers expressed the belief
that the portrait was taken by per-
son who disguised as q workman en-
tered the museum with the workmen
yesterday. Atworkman, 1t is said was
heard to remark to companion as
they passed the portrait that Is the
finest picture in the Louvre"
An hour later an attendant missed
the picture from It's accustomed place
but supposed that it had been removed
to permit If its being photographed
and SO did not report the matter.
Mona Lisa" is one Of the world
famous paintings and is held priceless.
At one time it had been stated the Bri-
tish government offered $5,000,000 for
the work, which was refused.
