REFUSED TO ASK FOR HELP
Passengers Say Thessaloniki's Skip
per Wouldn't Use rs. o. g."
Until Hope Was Gone.

New York, Hunger, thirst and
terror were endured by the III
passengers of the abandoned Greek
steamer Thessaloniki during the two
weeks she was battered by Atlantic
gales. They arrived here on the Pa
iris, to which steamer they were
transferred, leaving all baggage and
personal belongings on the disabled
vessel.
The Thessalonid first sprang a
leak when she encountered a hurri-
cane, Dec. 21. Dec. 26 she ran into
a 9O-mile hurricane. Fresh leaks were
opened and the ship was badly tossed
about. 1t was then that the Thessal-
oniki sent out numerous S. o. S. calls.
The Thessaloniki's passengers were
transferred to the Patris with con-
siderable difficulty. After the trans
fer the PATHS shot a line to the Thes-
saloniki and took her in tow Jan.
/, but the wind increased and the
tow line parted. The Thessalonih
was then driven rapidly to the south
east before hurricane.

KAISER OFFERS INDEMNITY
Won BERNsToRFF MAKES PRO-
PoSAL TO LANSING.
Unwilling to Admit That Country ls
Wrong on U-Boat Question, But
Will Pay Damages.

Washington, d. G. Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
presented to Secretary Lansin yester-
day a proposal to pay indemnity for
American lives lost in the Lusitania
disaster, and thereby conclude that
controversy, and gave assurance that
any German submarines in the Medi-
terranean would not attack noncom-
batant ships of any character with
out warning, or destroy them with
out opportunity for non-combatants
to reach place of safety.
While offering to pay indemnity in
the Lusitania case, Germany makes
the reservation that it is done with
out admission of wrongdoing. 1t is
understood unofficially that Germany
offers the defense that the subma-
rine warfare was in reprisal for Eng
lands seizure on the high seas of all
cargoes destined for Germany. No
official indication was given as to
the acceptability of the proposal, but
one set of American officials took the
view that it would end the contro-
versy. The assurances regarding sub
marine warfare in the Mediterranean
are of broader scope than those given
after the Arabic disaster and covering
the warfare in the North Sea. The
latter guaranteed only safety of lin
ers. Those for the Mediterranean
cover all noncombatant ships.

.EXILES SUFFER IN BELGIUM
FORCED TO LIVE IN SECTION YET
UNlNVADED.
Number Equals Residents and Both
HomefoIks and Strangers Are
Absolutely Destitute.

New York-In that portion OF
Belgium which remains free from
German occupation and which ap-
pears so small upon the maps there
are 100000 regular residents and
about as many more refugees. All
the refugees are dependent upon char
ity, says Alloys Van de Vyvere, Bel
gian minister of finance, who Is in
this country to inspect contracts
given by Belgium. Before leaving
for Washington, Van de Vyvere said:
"In addition to these residents and
refugees we have in our small bit of
unoccupied territory many invalided
soldiers. Our improved hospitals are
overcrowded with civilians, for in
such place with the awful ruin from
burning and shooting, we have many
epidemics.
"There has been typhoid to an
alarming extent, and will be more
when spring comes"
The Belgian minister said that he
received a cable dispatch saying that
the supply of condensed milk in Bel
gium is now exhausted.
1--WE do not easily do what you
Americans call 'squeal,' but this
means disaster for the babies and
nursing mothers" He added that
months ago the commission for the
relief in Belgium sent all the con-
densed milk it could spare.

STRIKERS RIOT IN
YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO
THREE DEAD AND % WOUNDED
IN BATTLE WITH
POLICE.
SIX CITY BLOCKS ARE BURNED
LIquor-crazed Steel Workers Drink
Whisky From Buckets In Streets
and Threaten to Dynamite
All Homes In the City.

youngstown, Ohio.-After a night
of looting and arson at the hands Of
q drunken mob, the situation in East
Youngstown was gradually gotten un-
der control, but the authorities ex-
pressed fear there would be another
outbreak at any time.
The fire had destroyed between 40
and so buildings, and was still raging
but the streets have been partly
cleared Of rioters and the fire de-
partment had arrived from Youngs-
town to combat the flames.
Three men we're killed, 20 persons,
including a woman, injured and fire
damage estimated at 100000 was
the direct result of the rioting.
The situation is tense, however, and
fears are expressed that rioting might
be resumed momentarily. For vir-
tually six hours crowds of men, many
maddened with drink, ran through the
streets, smashing the windows of
buildings with clubs and then tearing
out entire fronts. The rioters then
would loot the place and apply the
torch.
Liquor-crazed men drank stolen
whisky from buckets in the fire
lighted streets.
With the rioting at it's height, Os-
car Diser, city solicitor of East
Youngstown, organized body of citi-
Gems and armed with revolvers,
marched to the point where the riot
ers had just looted a building. The
citizens fired a volley over the heads
of the rioters, who returned the fire
Diser ordered his men to fire again,
this time pointing their weapons
point-blank at the mob.
About half dozen men fell Armed
with night sticks the solicitor and
his men waded into the rioters, using
their clubs freely and scattering
them into groups. These were finally
rounded up and loaded into various
kinds of vehicles and taken TO the
county Jail.
One of the buildings attacked by
the mob was that in which the post
office was located. According to re-
ports, rioters forced their way into
the building, compelled a man who
was on duty at the time to open the
safe and then looted the place. The
building was later burned
