STEAMER BURNING
 DISTRESS SIGNALS
Greek Ship Thessaloniki Reported
 19O Miles Off Sandy Hook

New York, Dec. 31-The crippled steamer Thessaloniki which had been slowly nearing this port since last Wednesday was burning signals of distress early today and the steamer Florizel was searching for her. Radio messages picked up by shore stations brought this information. The To- cation of the Thessaloniki was then in doubt but one message had report ed her 190 miles east of Sandy Hook.
 Whether the coast guard cutter Seneca which left here Wednesday morning to succor the distressed steamer had reached her could not be learned early today.
 Burning Distress Signals.
 Messages sent by the F1orizel to- day were the first to indicate that the Thessaloniki was burning distress signals. It was suggested that the Thessa1oniki was burning the signals to enable the other vessels to find her in the night
 A few hours earlier the F1orizel, while bound from Halifax to Cuban ports, picked up wireless message from the liner and upon asking the Thessa1oniki to report her positions and speed, received in reply, Same place all the time. Speed nil.''
 This was the first news that the liner had stopped. Yesterday she re- ported that she was proceeding at the rate of four miles an hour.
 She is bound from Piraeus to New York and it is understood that her engine room is partly flooded.

Nicholas II has inherited military tai

to be made through his passion for

at Lividia. He was at the front at
Ossovetz, but he was more frequently
at the hospitals, mingling with the

The photographs of the car in this
uniform of a common soldier have been
circulated by the million. Whether his
photograph in the uniform of the COM
mander-in chief will have greater
effect on the peasant soldiery may be
doubted.
The psychological effect Of the car
in command is going to be one of the
interesting problems of the winter

remodeled Russian general staff, about
which SO little is known, make a sue

Whether the French trenches were
really taken and held, as the Berlin
dispatches claim, or whether the crown
prince was driven back with very
heavy loss of men, as Paris asserts,

situation on the western frontier does
not seem to promise prestige for the
crown prince.
Prince Leopold of Bavaria was at the

There are excellent reasons for giving
the Bavarian troops the honors of War

athy between the Bavarians and the
Prussians. The kaiser, If he consult
ed his personal feelings, doubtless
would not have conceded this supreme
honor to Bavarian royalty, but when
the purpose is to strengthen royalty
everywhere in the German empire. 1t
is not possible to discriminate against
the aggressive kingdom of Bavaria
But Prince Leopold, like the Crown
Prince of Prussia and like the kaiser
himself, and like the other princes and

commands, is only the instrument OF
the German general staff. The kaiser.
1t is true, can bestow titles, but the
