ATHENS. Greece. Oct. 25.--Thr help
ful part played by American warships
IN seccoring the victims or the burning
of Smyrna BY the Turks has been fav-
orhbly commented upon By Greek news
papers. The following extracts taken
from papers published in Athens:
From the Daily Skrip: while the
fleets of powerful Europe stood silent
before the butchery Of Christians. Am-
erica did all she could 10 save whatever
was To be saved from destruction. New
er before did the strength of the great
American people manifest itself in
more benevolent way"
From the Kathimerine: "As soon a.
they landed in PiraeuS. the poor Smyrna
refugees knelt down and said. God
Bless America and her citizens Along
with these refugees the whole OF Greece
i grateful to America. During the ter
rible tragedy Of Asia Minor. the only So
viours Of the innocent were the Ameri-
cans"
From the Nea Himera: The Inonean
refugees are full Of emotion when they
speak Of the hcroiSm Of the American
sailors. While the sailors Of European
warships stood idly by watching a spec
tacle taken from Dante's Inferno. the
American sailors showed Alt the nobility
of their nature and all that IA best In
human character. They did what they
could. these Americans. Rev0lvers in
hand they made superhuman efforts Ia
snatch from the Turkish bensts their
helpless prey. They chiefly protected the
women and children.

TAMPIC0. Mexico. Oct. 25.-Notice
has been received by shipping agencies
here of the restoration OF the freight
tariffs on the National Lines to those
which were in effect June Is. 1918. The
restored rates went into effect October
Is and are contained in Supplemental
No. 3 de Tarifa de carga, -. G. f. No.
.. There are IA number Of additions
noted In the supplement. The change
will mean small reduction im the rail
rates.
A reduction already had been made
from border points. On October ) the 40
per cent increase which has been charg-
ed for some time was eliminated On
freight destined for points sooth o.
Aguascalientes and San Luis Potosi. This
was done TO partly meet the reduction in
water rates lately estahS shed by. all
steamship companies. Shipping agents
are pointing out. however. that the re-
duction is not enough To offset that of
the water rates and they are claiming
that Tampico is still the logical port
