GREEKS PATHETIC
PLEA TO AMERICA
Beg Uncle Sans Protection
Against the Entente.
BIG CROWD At LEGATION
U. S. Minister Was At Clubhouse
Across the Way Watching AS
They Tried To Get Into
the Legation.

Athens.-After the demonstration
ing which procession of several thou
sand persons marched to the Ameri
can legation and protested against
the landing of French marines, dele
cation of six persons called at the
American legation and presented reso-
lutions asking the sympathy and pro-
lection of the United States against
the encroachments of the Entente
powers. The spokesman said in Eng
lish in presenting the resolution:
Henry Clay's speech in regard to
Greece's struggle for liberty, as we'll
as one by Daniel Webster, said the
struggle would have been made mean
ingless if the liberties of Greece had
been subsequently lost"
The American minister, Garrett
Droppers, promised to forward the
petition to Washington.
There were about 5000 persons in
the crowd which marched to the
American legation, carrying huge
American and Greek flags. Recent
that an American feet of 80 warships
was on the way to Greece inspired
the crowd to insist on seeing Mr..
Droppers, although the legation re-
mained dark, the door was closed and
no one answered the bell. For several
hours the fruitless attempt to gain a
hearing at the legation was continued,

States.
Unknown to the crowd the Ameri-
can minister and the legation secre-
tary were watching the demonstra-
ton from windows of the American
Club, directly opposite.
When 1t was seen at last that no
response could be had at the time from
the legation, committee, including an
English-speaking Greek, named Kilkis,
formerly from Mississippi, was formed
TO wait upon Mr.. Droppers and beg
him to put the case of Greece before
the American people.
After the demonstration before the
American legation the crowd, con-
stant1y increasing in numbers, march
ed to the hotel and renewed the
demonstration, waving the American
flag and calling on the representative
Of the news agency to inform the
world through the press as to what
was going on In Greece.
The Royalist newspaper Newhemera
declared that the impartial American
press was the only bar before which
Greece could obtain justice and SYM
pathy.
Mr. Droppers said that he would
forward to Washington the petition
for protection Of Greece from the pres
sure of the Entente. He expressed
the opinion that the demonstration
and appeal to America were due to the
reports of the coming Of an American

UNITED STATES
TROOPS IN BATTLE
Cavalry Patrol In Clash Near
Big Bend.
FIGHT LASTS NEARLY HOUR
Report ls Made To General Funston
Telling OF the Engagement-No
Losses Reported BY the
American Forces.

San Antonio, Texas. - American
troops and Mexicans clashed near San
Jose, in the Big Bend county, accord.
ing to a report received by General
Funston from Col. Joseph CASTOR, com
mander of the district. The fight
lasted for Is minutes. No losses were
suffered by the Americans. and infor.
nation is lacking regarding loss
among the Mexicans.
Colonel Gaston's report said that
a band of about 80 Mexicans opened
fire on a detachment composed Of %
men of the Sixth Cavalry and Texas
National Guard cavalry squadron en-.
gagged in patrol duty between Preside
and Ruidosa. Lieutenant Cudington,
of the Texas squadron, commanding
the troops, ordered his men to return
the fire.
A vigorous exchange Of shots con-
tinued for period of As minutes, the
Americans and Mexicans firing in
skirmish formation from covered posi-.
tions on either side of the Rio Grande.
Information from Colonel CASTOR did
not indicate that the United States
troops crossed in pursuit of the Mexi-
cans. After the fight Lieutenant Cud.
ington returned to Ruidosa with his
command.
Colonel CASTOR reported that Major
A.. v. p. Anderson. of the Sixth Cav
airy, has gone to San Jose to investi.
gate the incident. Colonel Raejos,
commander of the Carranza garrison
at Ojinaga, has gone to the scene Of
the fght for the same purpose, accord.
ing to Colonel CASTOR.
Washington.-General Funston, re-
porting on the exchange of shots
across the border at San Jose, said
that late reports reaching him indi.
Gated the American troops were fred
upon "by drunken Mexicans."
The dispatch made no mention of
firing by the American troopers and
said there were no casualties on either
side. Officials here were inclined to
attach little significance to the Incl
dent, believing that an irresponsible
band had blundered upon the detach,
ment of Americans and withdrawn
after firing a few desultory shots.

.2l IN GREW LOST
WITH STEAMER
J. B. Colgate, Coal-Laden, Goes
Down in Lake Erie
CAPTAIN IS SOLE SURVIVOR
After Drifting For Two Nights and a
Day Captain Walter crashaw Is
Rescued-Two other Men With
Him Are Washed of.

Cleveland, Ohio.-Storm-swe Lake
Erie Sunday gave up another frag-
ment of the story of its BLACK Fri
day" - another vessel pounded to
pieces in the stinging gale and grind
ing waves. carrying 81 men to their
deaths. The last vessel is the Duluth
owned whaleback James B. Colgate.
It's lone survivor, adrift for 34h
hours on a raft, brought the story
ashore. Half dead from two nights
and a day spent tortured and torn by
the seas, he was carried on rescue
ship at Conneaut, Ohio, Sunday after
noon. He is Capt. Walter Grashaw,
master Of the Colgate, which went
down Friday night off Long Point
Canada, opposite Erie.
Every one of the crew of 21 per

sank in Lake Erie on Friday, only
Captain Mattison being saved. Earlier
that night the steamer Marshal F.
Buffers foundered, but its crew of Is

Less than an hour after the Filler

of the three victim vessels, went down

died raised BLACK Fridays" sea casu-

and remained so during the six hours
trip of the rescue ship to Conneaut.
He is in a hospital there, his wife at
his bedside, in critical condition.

GERMANS BELIEVE
THE BREMEN LOST
Diplomats Do Not Think She
Was Captured.
MAY HAVE SUNK IN DIVING
If the Submarine Had Been Captured
the British Would Have Prob
ably Made Public Import
ant Documents.

Washington.-Loss of the German
submarine merchantmen Bremen is
conceded by ranking Teutonic diplo-
mats in position to be familiar with
the movements of the vessel. The
Bremen is now one month overdue.
1t was admitted that German Off
cials, not only in this country, but in
Berlin, were without information as to
the fate of the Bremen. All they know
is that she set out for America from
Bremerhaven and that she should have
arrived at an American port soon after
the middle of last month. 1t is re-
garded as doubtful that accurate in
formation concerning the fate of the
vessel will be available until after the
close Of the war, II then.
The disappearance Of the Bremen
will not cause abandonment of the
project to send merchant submarines
regularly from Germany to the United
States, it was said. There appeared
to be reason to expect that another
subsea freighter, either the Deutsch-
land or some other, would reach an
American port some time within the
next month.
German oficials in Washington do
not believe the Bremen could have
fallen into the hands Of the British
unless she had some accident to her
machinery. They pointed out that, un-
like naval submarines, merchant sub
marines avoid all localities freQuented
by shipping, and. therefore, are not
open to the same risks.
When the Bremen was a week over
due no anxiety regarding her was felt.
The Deutschland was Just q week
overdue when she came through the
Virginia Capes. and the weather con-
ditions then we're much better than
those which have prevailed during the
last month and half. When the yes
sci was two weeks overdue anxiety
was apparent in various Teutonic quar-
ters, and word OF her arrival was
anxiously awaited.
Since then hope that the submarine
might be safe has dwindled each day
and today she was spoken Of as hav-
ing been lost.
Reports that the Bremen had ar
rived safely in New London, Conn.
were published in newspapers in Ger
many more than two weeks ago. II
was at New London that a dock had
been especially arranged for the recep-
tion OF the craft
The Bremen was commanded by
Captain schwarzkopf and carried a
crew OF approximately twenty-five
men.
One Official said II was likely that
the Bremen had met the fate OF a
number OF naval submarines which
had sailed from port never to be heard
from again. These vessels have dis
appeared completely and none OF the
members Of their crews has been re-
ported as being In the detention camps
Of the Entente Allies. II Is presumed
that they had some accident which
caused them to sink or had a mlshap
while diving. which prevented them
from coming To the surface.
Another argument advanced In sup
port OF the belief that the Bremen
had met with an accident rather than
capture was that she had aboard a
number OF important documents for
the German Embassy here. which
probably would have been made public
had they fallen into the hands OF the
British.

Latest News From
the War Zone

In the face of continued violent at
tacks by the Teutonic Allies in Dodru-
dja, from the Danube to the Black Sea,
che Roumanians and their Russian
allies are still falling back.
The towns of Toprai Sari, IA miles
southwest of Constanza, and Gobadin,
II miles southeast of the Danube town
Of Rachova, have been taken by the
combined Austrian, German, Bulgarian
and Turkish forces, who are declared
by Berlin to be in pursuit of their de-
feated antagonists.
On the Pennsylvania front hard
fighting continues in the mountain
passes, but with the result in doubt,
owing to the conflicting statements of
the Berlin, Petrograd and Bucharest
War Office.
Petrograd says the Roumanians
have been forced back in the Buzeu
Valley. Bucharest, however, does not
concede this, asserting that counter
attacks by the Teutonic Allies here
were repulsed at the point of the
bayonet.
It is evident from the official state
ments, Notwithstanding their dis
crepancies as to results, that no great
changes in position have taken place
anywhere along this front, but that
the Roumanians are fighting tenacious
ly to hold back the would-be invaders
of their country.
The battle of the last week along
the Narayuvka River, in Galicia, has
resulted in an important victory for
the Austro-G German forces over the
Russians, according to Berlin.
Here the Russians now hold only a
small part of the front on the west
bank Of the river after general at
tack by the Teutonic Allies between
Svitelniki and Swomovochy, in which
the Russians were driven back, suffer
ing heavy casualties.
Petrograd says that the fighting
along the river is still going on and
that the positions have changed hands
several times.
Twice during Sunday--in the morn
ing and in the afternoon the Ger
mans launched violent attacks against
the position newly won by the French
in the Chaulnes wood, south of the
Somme Rive in France. Both at
tacks were repulsed, the Germans suf-
fering heavy casualties, according to
Paris.
Some OF the attackers in the morn
ing offensive gained foothold in the
French first line, but were surrounded
and the $50 survivors made prisoners.
Berlin, in admitting that in Satur-
days fighting the British north of the
Somme made gains, characterizes the
British losses as reckless sacrifice
