GREEKS HELD IN GERMANY
IN FREQUENT MUTINIES
Eight Thousand Troops Who Sur
rendered at Kavala Undergo
Great Hardships.

LONDON. February 24.-According to
advices received by the Greek authori-
ties here there has been serious trouble
among the 5000 Greek troops who sur
rendered to the Bulgar- German forces
at kavala and who are now interned at
Goeritz.
Hunger and discomfort over the fail
ure of the German authorities to keep
repeated promises of repatriation are
said to have led to frequent mutinies.
and a large number of deaths from dis
ease, exposure and privation are also
reported. The attitude of the troops
has compelled number of their off,

Hatzopoulos, to leave Goeritz.

A portion of the garrison was removed
on allied warships, and the remainder
surrendered to the invaders and were
transported to Germany. The Greek
government protested to Berlin and
the return of the troops was promised.
Kavala was one of the prizes of Greece
in the Balkan wars, and it's cession was
bitterly disputed by Bulgaria at that
time.

RIVERS WOULD BRING FOOD.
Senators Say Waterways Should Be
Developed as Carriers.

Relation of the present food problem
to the rivers and harbors bill, which
is facing the opposition of Senators
Harding. Watson. Sherman
and Jones. is emphasized by the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress. It
is pointed out that losses already suf-
fered would more than pay for inland
waterways development to supplement
the railroads and that, with the pos
sibility of war threatening the United
States. the bill. carrying 10000 600 for
ninety new projects. should not be
quibbled over or delayed in passage.

method of transportation and that has

Mines are closed or working on half

prices are paid for coal. With the
greatest demand for pig iron ever
known. blast furnaces by the score have
had to bank their fires. Industry and
commerce are paralyzed. because ship
ments which should be delivered in

demand is made that passenger trains
shall be sidetracked to allow supplies
to be rushed to cities facing riot and
anarchy through lack of food and

TARIFF TO Be BIC ISSUE
IN THE NEXT CONGRESS
and Democrats Already
Are Maneuvering to Obtain Credit
for Upward Revision.

Republicans in the House are plan
ming to draw up tariff bill embodying
1.-THE G. o. P. protection principles. and
If necessary they will raise funds by
private subscription to engage experts
for the work.
Democrats, on the other hand. are
planning a bit of strategy by which
they hope to rob the republicans of the
tariff issue by laying before Congress,
when the next session convenes. piece
meal legislation aiming to revise sec
tons of the Underwood tariff measure
upward.
If the House should not be organized
until next December it is considered prac-
tically certain that Representative Ford
ney Of Michigan and a corps of experts
will spend the summer preparing the pro-
posed republican bill. To this end it is
understood that about 100000 already
has been offered largely by well-to-do
New York members. The suggestion first
came from a New York group. including
Representatives Fairchild, Gould. Dunno.
Parker and Smell. Other republicans ap-
proved the idea. and it is stated that
Representatives Longworth of Ohio. Nc
kinley and Madden of Illinois and Mr.
Fordney offered to advance personal con-
tributions.
If an extra session should be called
this wilt not be necessary, as the con-
tingent fund of the House will be
available for clerk hire. and various
branches of the government will be
used in gathering data for the measure.
The democratic efforts will be along
the line of Investigations by the tariff
board. but the republicans hope to
check this effort and draw bill both
to their own liking and calculated to
get them the credit.
