Won BERNSToRFF MAKES PRO-
POSAL TO LANSING.
Unwilling to Admit That Country Is
Wrong on U-Boat Question, But
Will Pay Damages.

Washington, D. c. 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 honcom-
Blatant ships of any character with
out warning, or destroy them with
out opportunity for non-combatants
to reach a 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 al
cargoes destined for Germany. NJ
official indication was given as t.
the acceptability Of the proposal, bu'
one set of American officials took thu
view that it would end the contro
versy. The assurances regarding sub
marine warfare in the Mediterranean
are of broader scope than those givel
after the Arabic disaster and covering
the warfare in the North Sea. TIL,
latter guaranteed only safety of lin
| ers. Those for the Mediterranean
cover all noncombatant ships.

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 Thessaloniki first sprang a
leak when she encountered a hurri-
cane, Dec. 81. Dec. 26 she ran into
a 9O-mile hurricane. Fresh leaks were
opened and the ship was badly tossed
about. It was then that the Thessal-
oniki sent out numerous s. o. S. calls
The Thessaloniki's passengers were
transferred to the PATHS 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 Thessaloniki
was then driven rapidly to the south
east before a hurricane.

Youngstown, Ohio-After a night

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

With the rioting at its height, Os'
