SAY FOOD EMBARGO
VOIDS NEUTRALITY
Teuton Sympathizers Demand
u. S. Help Get Milk to Austrian
and German Babies.

President Wilson will shatter his
neutrality proclamation TO bits unless
he takes it upon himself to see that
milk sent TO Austria and Germany by
Teuton sympathizers in the United
States reaches its destination.
This announcement IS made in let
ter sent the Chief Executive yesterday
by Edmund Won Mach, executive chair
man Of the Citizens Committee for
Food Shipments. Two million babies,
the committee asserts. are starving in
Austria and Hungary for lack Of milk.
Mr.. Won Mach dilates upon this in his
letter.
I'VE were greatly pleased" he writes,
"to hear of your decided stand or main
tanning neutrality in international re-
lief work.
"The practical embargo is making II
almost impossible for the National
American Red Cross, as well as for US,
10 carry on our humane work, but we
are hopeful that as soon as you return
20 Washington you will help us TO ship
milk to the suffering babies Of Ger
many and Austrla-Hungary and later
10 reestablish the United States parcel
post TO those countries.
unless this is done all relief WORK
with one set of the belligerents Will
automatically cease, which is the anti
thesis Of the neutrality you have so
much at heart.
I'VE are taking the liberty OF giving
this Telegram TO the press, feeling that
il may help TO broaden the spirit OF
international benevolence.'

man Of the Greeks, to-wit. the coopera-

CALLS TO LINER UNANSWERED
Fears Felt for Thessaloniki, Last
Heard from Week Ago.

Fear for the safety of the Thessa-
loniki. of the Greek Line, was aroused
last night when it became known that
the liner gave no answer to the wire
less calls sent out from several radio
stations along the coast
Since last Wednesday, when the Tines
saloniki. with 500 passengers on board
called for help, nothing has been heard
from her. At that time she was 700
miles east Of Norfolk. When the Ital-
ian steamship Stampalia. Of the We
loce Line, responded to the appeal and
approached within a short distance Of
the Greek Line boat the captain de-
clined aid. lie said that water which
had filled the boiler and engine rooms
had been pumped out and that every
thing aboard was all right again. The
Stampalia arrived here Christmas Day.
The Thessaloniki was expected here
Sunday. II is possible that her wire
less apparatus was carried away b. the
storm or that it is too weak TO send
answers to messages inquiring after
her safety.

The biologist Of to-day. the speaker
said. believes that chemistry can and

Fifty.One Years on Horse
Line, Donovan Gets His
Last Bell.

Old Tom Donovan pstted the tanks
Of his horses. He threw the harness
over their steaming necks and fixed the
bits. For few minutes he rested his
gray head on the neck Of the nearest
animal. while men cursing, wheels
grinding and horses neighing filed the
Big car barn with its usual morning
din.
Hey. Tom" cried the starter. Wake
up. old mani"
The old man jumped dramatically
to the drivers platform. The conduc-
tor gave him the bell. Donovan
whipped the two horse. into a walk and
the car slid out into the frosty air OF
early morning.
When, early yesterday forenoon. Tom
Donovan's morning trips up and down
the slush -Aanked tracks Of Madison
Street were done he fingered long in
the car barn. Then he sought Central
Park. which the snow and ice had lat
ticed into a fairyland, fantastic and
brilliant.
Old Tom Donovan fshed a peanut
from some deep trousers pocket. Then
he called coaXingly in a language that
animals understand. To the squirrel
he remarked:
$50 you're goin' 70 be me new IrIend
next year. eh ?"
Bushtail wrestled with the peanut
and let il 90 at that The old mans
blue eyes watered as he watched the
frantic efforts of the animal. His face.

But the squirrel had rushed away
pellmell for his nearest nut vault. Old
Tom Donovan watched him scamper
and began lodging the machines that
whirled around the isle of safety at
Columbus Square. His deep-sunk eyes
closed in sleep az soon as he touched
his cot. at 404 West Fifty-siXth Street.
His daughter banked his cold chest and
limbs with sweaters and old coats.
A few minutes later old Tom rubbed
his eyes and found that newspaper
man had learned Of his luck He sat

rumor that he had received pension

Mrs Ford. il said that Mr.. Ford was

Mrs. Ford and her son, Edsel, have
made no arrangements 10 meet Mr..
Ford in New York, as the date of his
arrival is uncertain +. G.. Liebold, Mr..
Ford's secretary, said that the Norwe-
gian liner Bergensfjord was out Of
range of the wireless and that II was
impossible 10 communicate with Mr..
Ford.
Mr.. Ford said time end again that
the Oscar II was chartered merely 10
attract the world 10 the peace plan. his
business associates say. Because the
bows" did not leave the trenches on the
arrival OF the ship in foreign waters,
the enterprise was denounced as fail
ure By It's opponents. Friends Of Mr.
Ford think il is unfair 10 denounce his
plan until the commission which is to
carr. it out has tried. Mr.. Ford in
tended TO have this commission sit for
