: purely military nature. 1t is
: the intention TO give Germany

1O9 GERMAN SHIPS DAMAGED
BY CREWS NOW IN SERVICE
FOR THE NATION

Sailing under American names in
the service of the United States are
100 German ships damaged by their
crews prior to their seizure by the
government when war was declared.
They add more than 100000 gross ton
mage to the transport and cargo feet
in war service for the United States.
There is evidence that a German
central authority gave orders for dam
age to these ships so that none could
be operated in less than IS months,
and documentary proof that the enc
my believed much of the damage to be
irreparable. In less than eight months
all the ships were in service.
The former German liners, sailing
under distinctly American names, are
now fitted as troop and cargo ships
Each is convertible to a completely
equipped hospital ship for return-voy-
age service.

STAMP TAX IN EFFECT

December l was the date on which
the section of the war revenue law re-
lating to documents became operative.
This law provides a stamp tax similar
to the one imposed during the Spanish
war and to the one under the emer-
gency revenue act of 1914. Under it
the following documents must bear
revenue stamps: Bonds of indemnity
or indebtedness; capital stock issues;
stock transfers; produce sales on ex-
change; drafts; promisory notes; con-
veyances and deeds; customs house en-
tries; steam ship tickets; proxies;
assignments of power of attorney;
playing cards and parcels post pack
ages. Millions of dollars, it is expect
ed will be realized by the government
from this source.

MILLION GREEK DEAD
DUE TO TURCO-TEUTONS
Persisted by Organized Massaeres and
Deportations: Horrible Recital by
Merchant of Trebizcnd Who Was
Rescued: Women and Children Dunn
ped Into Black Sea.

New York, Dec. 31-At least 1,000,-
900 Greeks women and children
have persisted as the result of or
gained massacres and deportations
by the "Turco-Teutons" in Asiatic
Turkey, according to a statement by
Lazaros George Macrides, son of a
leading merchant of Trebizond, made
public through the Armenian and Syr-
ian relief committee hers today.
Macriaes, whSrecently arrived here
says he was oAe of a party of 1000
Greeks which was rescued by the Rus
sian fleet that bombarded the town Of
Ordou late last August and took the re-
fugees aboard. He had been taken to
0rdou, he said, when the Turks raided
Trebizond and seized his fathers store
along with those of other Greek mer-
charts.
Those of us who were between the
ages Of 16 and 60 were drafted into
the Turkish army" said Macrides.
"Our women and children and the ell
der men were placed temporarily in
homes and orphanages until the OPP
portunity offered to dispose Of them
in the approved Turco-Teuton fashion,
which in this instance turned out to be
wholesale drowning.
1.-THE unfortunate survivors of de-
pofation were lowed out for several
mits into the Black Sea and then
calmly dumped overheard, just like so
much garbage. None of them surviv-
ed German efficiency has simply or
gaaized the natural brutality Of the
Turk and made it many times more
effective than ever before. / should
taink that at the most conservative
estimate, at leas 100000 of my fell
Ia lscounrymen have persisted misera-
by through the organized cruelty of
TINS Turco-Teuton alliance. The only
hose Of the future lies in America"
