Henry Clsy's speech in regard to
Greece's struggle for liberty. as well
as one by Daniel Webster, said the
struggle would have been made mean
ingless II 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
reports published in Greek newspapers
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,
with repeated cheers for the United

world through the press as to what

Mr. Droppers said that he would

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

Washington.-Los 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,
It 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. It 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, II 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 officials 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 a 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 he safe has dwlndled 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 q dock had
been especially arranged for the recep-
ton 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 q
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 mishap
while diving which prevented them
from coming 10 the surface.
Another argument advanced in sup.
oort 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.
