THOUSANDS OF ALLIED
TROOPS IN SALONIKI

London, Oct. 19.--Allied forces
are SO numerous that Saloniki Is
swamped and many OF the troops are
going overland to Serbia and Bull
garia, according to an Athens dis
patch today.
Indications Of gradual weakening
OF the Serbian resistance aroused talk
of the necessity for speeding up rein
forcements and It is understood that
representations were made to Rome
that unless more troops and more
speed were forthcoming the Teutonic
drive would eventually threaten
Tripoli,
Believing that Italy's war declara.
tion against Bulgaria will influence
Greece and Roumania. the allies have
again applied persuasion to induce
these nations to side with them.

CHARGE THAT CREW
OF LINER MINNESOTA
IS FED ON RAW RICE
(By United Press Leased wire.)

Seattle, Oct. 19.-Charges that
105 Japanese, members of the big
Great Northern liner Minnesota, dis
charging cargo here, are being slow
ly starved through an order of the
Great Northern Steamship company,
denying them any food but rice, were
made today by local Japanese. Mon
day afternoon Japanese Consul Taxa
hashi and number of subordinates
from his Office took two wagon loads
of bread to their countrymen and
were ordered to keep off the liner.
Takahashi is investigating the reason
for the order denying food to the
sailors, which, he says, was issued
shortly after the Japanese and Chin
ese members of the crew engaged in
a riot aboard the vessel more than a
week ago, Since that time, he says,
his countrymen have been denied all
food, with the exception or uncooked
rice, which they are unable to pre-
pare for eating because they are not
allowed hot water and have no means
Of heating 1t.
Orientals engaged as seamen when
the liner started her homeward voy-
age will be discharged here when
the vessel sails next month for Lon
don and an entire white crew taken
aboard. i
Local Japanese declared today that
their countrymen were not respon-
sible for the riot while the liner lay
at the dock. but that the trouble was
precipitated by the Chinese. whose
rations have not been reduced.

near here, killing two Americans and
wounding four. They escaped after
robbing the passengers and looting
the baggage cars.
The Mexicans afterward burned q
300-foot bridge between the wreck
and Brownsville to delay pursuit. and
also cut the telephone wires. Five
hundred soldiers and civilians are
trailing them. VI
The bandits. reported led by Luis
de la Rosa, a noted Mexican from
Matamoras. removed the bolts and
spikes from the rails. The train,
passing over the weakened spot, jolt
ed the rail out Of place and the loco
motive and the two forward cars
were ditched. Engineer Kendall was
crushed to death.
Before the passengers had recover
ed from the shock. five Mexicans en-
tered the first car still on the track
and began shooting. Their bullets
hit three American soldiers, killing
Corporal McBee instantly. Mccain
and Wallis ran into the toilet. but
were dragged out and shot. Mccain
was hit in the abdomen and is dying.
Wallis left hand was shot away.
Other Mexicans entered the train
Immediately, shouting Death to the
Gringoes"; Kill the soldiers"
They told the passengers to hand
over their valuables. Those who re-
sisted were dubbed with reyolvers
Several passengers were forced to
remove their shoes and outer cloth
ing. One swarthy bandit pulled the
shoes from the bloody corpse of the
dead soldier. Mexican passengers,
however, were not molested.
Mccain and Wallis probably would
have escaped had not Mexican pas
senger pointed out their hiding place.
The informant was later taken into
custody. and it is believed he will be
lynched. LaRosa's connection with
the hold-up was established by the
bandits cheers of Viva Don Luis"
and Viva Luis de la Rosa" while they
worked. All of the raiders were
armed with carbines of the Carran-
zista pattern.
