SUNK BY WASP

ATHENS, Oct. 1.-THE Greek
steamship Dimitrics. 2,5OS tons, has
been sunk in the Mediterranean Sea
southeast of Sicily, by a German sub
marine, it was officially announced
today. All the passengers were saved
by the French tank steamer Rhone.
The Dimitrics was commanded by
Captain S. Daniolos, and hailed from
Andros. She was built in England in
1902
1t is supposed that the submarine
either came from an Austrian base in
the Adriatic or else was on her way
from the North sea to the Dardanelles
The scene of the Dimitrios' destruc-
tion is close to the British naval sta
