Sea, Via London, Feb. 8 Correspond.
ence of the Associated Press). The
American Red Cross Mission which is
making survey of conditions in the
Balkan states with view to aiding
the refugees who were driven out by
Bulgarian occupation, experienced a
tempestuous voyage from Piraeus, the
port Of Athens, to Saloniki, and finally
found refuge in this mountain-shelt-
cred harbor in the upper reaches of
the Aegean Sea-
The old coastwise Greek steamer
Peloponnesus, on which they were
travelling encountered a gale in which
the vessel labored so severely that it
was feared at one time she would
never reach port. Having stopped at
the port to Volo, 200 Greek refugees
were put on board the steamer, de-
spite the protests of the captain.
Throughout the voyage from Volo to
Saloniki the weather was cold and
rainy and northeast wind dashed the
sea into waves that tossed the old
steamer about like cork and made
her groan from stem to stern.
Great volumes of water dashed over
her decks, drenching the unfortun-
ate refugees in the lower cabins and
partly flooding the engine room. Two
Of the stokers scrambled to the upper
deck and refused to return.
Most Of the passengers were Greek
peasant women and children from the
interior who never before had made
sea journey. They succumbed to sea
sickness and fell on their knees in
prayer holding up their crucifixes and
ikons and pledging all their money
and belongings to the church if they
were saved. Only the reassurances
of the members of the American Red
Cross and of the ships officers pre-
vented a panic. Colonel Homer Folks
Of New York, head of the Red Cross
mission, was thrown from a couch in
the smoking room and shaken up.
Everything that was not nailed
down was thrown helter-skelter over
the cabins and decks. Baggage, house
hold effects of every description,
kitchen pots and pans, crates of live

PRUSSLAN MIlITARISM
IS DEAD COCK IN PIT

BERNIE, Switzerland, Feb. / (by
maiD On the question of freedom
of the seas, Professor Friedrich w.
Forester, Bavarian minister to Swift
erland, said recently to a correspond.
ent of the Associated Press:
Il must frankly admit the Germans
had no reason to complain of the lack
Of freedom in using the seas to de-
velop their commerce and industries
before the war. In fact, both America
and England placed no obstacles in
this respect" ~
DR.. Forester declared that Prus-
sianism and militarism now are dead
in Germany-killed by the war, and
that Germany will become a great re-
public on the lines of America, but
that the process necessarily must be
slow owing to international conflicts
and the differences between political
parties.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
PROVE RES0URCEFUL

PARIS, Feb. 2 (by maiD Fresh
proof of the ingenuity and resource
fulness of the American soldier in
France was given the other night at
La Rochalle, An army quartet had
been billed to play for the soldiers at
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton hut there. The train failed to
come, after the manner of trains in
France. John J. Anderson OF Dallas,
Texas, the Y. M. c. A. secretary at La
Pallice. near La Rochedde, explained
the matter to the audience.
Immediately an impromptu jazz
quartet was organized. One perform
er played on two pieces of sand-paper
another on a piece of tin, the third
with an automobile horn, and the
fourth tried to make music with the
leg of chair.
With these instruments the jazz
band played" the popular music Of
the United States, to the great amuse-
ment of the audience. Heated dis
putes as to what they were playing oc-
cupied large space on the evenings
program. They were so popular, how
ever, that their audience refused to
allow them to stop until the regular
performers arrived, and even then
they continued to play, to the accom-
paniment of drum, a mandolin,
violin and a piano.

There isn't a business anywhere,
worth working for, that won't pay a
premium for smiling face and a
governablc temper.
Business to-day is totally matter
of cooperation.
There isn't room for the sour in

contact.
his type is passing ut--with the
horse and buggy, the Saturday night
bath, and the farmland breakfast.
Just doing our little job well, isn't
enough.
We must do it chccrfully, and with
smile.
If we don't we will interfere with
others, make it harder for them to do
their work, all Of which is unproft-
able.
The reason for this is clear:
All of us have worked over and
under men and women with dispo-
sitions that prickcd US like thorns.
When they passed our way, the sun
went under a cloud Our production
dropped. II they were subordinatcs
We fired them as misfits at the first

TURKS CONTINUE ATRocIoUs
TREATMENT TO ARMENlhNS

"The Turks continue to persecute
and narass the Christians of the Near
East" said Z. Y. Clarke, p;.blicity
director of the Southern Division OF
The Armcnian-Gyrian Relief Com
mittee.
Letters have been received by
prominent Armenian citizens of At
ianta, Ca, stating that fifty per cent.
of the population of some of the
cities OF Armenia and Syria have ac-
tually died in the last year of starv-
alton and will continue to die unless
immediate help is received, and in
Tiany of the almost inaccessible
places the Turks are still trying to ex-
terminate these Christian people.
Many cities in the East have gone
over the top in raising their >auota
in their relief campaign, and we feel
confident that by the end Of the week
every State of the Southeast will
have done likewise.
Few, if any, war charities have
appealed to the people of America
like that of the relief in the Near
East, because of the acuteness of
the suffering Of these people and the
fact that every penny contributed to
The cause actually goes toward pur-
chasing food for the starving women
and children Of Armenia and ada
cent territories"
