Fate Of -Four From D. {.
On Athena Not Known

The fate of four Washington res
idents reported aboard the British
ship Athena torpedoed of the coast
Of Scotland Sunday remained un-
known today. A fifth passenger was
authoritatively reported safe at
Glasgow, Scotland, while assurances
were given that a sixth Washing
tonian survived.
A hospital list taken to Glasgow
stated that a Master John Me-
Leod was among the survivors to
reach Greenock, Scotland. This was
believed to be the son of Donald
Mcleod of 4544 Conduit road NV,
whose wife and three children were
aboard the Athena.
Meanwhile a London cablegram
from Mrs. Arthur Strain, who was in
charge of group of college girls,
including Miss Jane Sunderland
daughter of Maj. Gen. Archibald
H. Sunderland, gave assurance that
all of the girls reached their life
boat stations safely.
Miss Bainbridge Hayden of 2820
N street NV. also had booked pas
sage on the ship.
Miss Joan Gilmore Hecht, daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Julian S. Hecht
Of Pikesville, Md, also was listed as
survivor on the Athena. Robert
Harris of Fredericksburg, Va, a
graduate of Washington and Lee
University, was unreported.
Members of the families here kept
in constant touch with the State
Department, where additional word
was expected of casualties as we'll
as survivors.

on the rescue ships and we're buried
at sea.
British seamen on the destroyers
gave up their own rations for the
children survivors and improvised
a laundry to wash clothes of moth
ers and children.
Most of the passengers were at
dinner, the flrst-class ones in eve
ming dress, when the ship was at

After the first explosion the sub
marine came to the surface about
100 yards off," seaman of the
Athena explained.
"All of the Athenia's lfeboats

Of the crew and myself had charge
OF one boat containing 50 women.
when the Norwegian boat came
to our rescue, we drew alongside
and made fast, but our boat got
under her stern and was struck by
the propeller which knocked the
bottom out of our boat.
Drifts About Three Hours.
Several of the people were killed.
I Grifted about in the water for
three hours in my lifebelt before
was picked up by the yacht South
ern Cross.
A third-class steward on the
Athena said: Il took the 10 people
at my table to boat stations, and
We all managed to get into a life
boat. I saw one boat with 10 pas
sengers in it fall from the davits
into the water. Most Of the occu-
pants were women and children,
and the majority of them were
injured"
When the first of the two de-
stroyers reached Greenock, its decks
crowded with women survivors, it
was greeted with cheers.
A second ship followed the de-
stroyer through the fog and be-
gan discharging the injured. They
were rushed to hospitals in a fleet
of ambulances. The harbor was
closed to the public and under
heavy guards. No one was permit
ted near the rescue ships.
Prof. Damon Boynton of Cornell
University, alighting from one of
the destroyers, said:
II was in boat II hours before I
was picked up. I don't want to say
anything more except this-I don't
like German war tactics"
Then the professor hurried away
to the nearest telephone.

BUDAPEST, Sept. 5.-Southeast-
ern Europe. Jealous to keep war
from spreading to this corner of the
continent, has proclaimed its neu-
trality to the world, but still it is
taking no chances.
In case the clash of the great
powers draws them into the conflict,
the five little nations are ready with
100000 men mobilized for action
and 3,000.00 more in reserve.
Even while proclamations of strict
neutrality were being drawn UP.
preparations for hostilities were
being pushed on large scale. Yugo-
slavia, Rumania and Bulgaria off,
cially signified their neutrality last
night. Greece and Hungary likewise
have expressed an intention to re-
main neutral.
Rumania's Great Machine.
Rumania, first to issue a formal
neutrality declaration, has massed
the greatest military machine in
Southeastern Europe Starting Au-
gust / with $4,000 men under arms,
she subsequently has called up an
other 100000 and has 00,0OO more in
reserve.

kindled the last world conflict was
struck, based her neutrality stand
on a duty to maintain and develop
friendly relations with all neigh.
bors." She has 100000 men ready to
throw into any conflict and 1900 900
trained reserves.
Bulgaria Desires Neutrality.
Little Bulgaria, in her proclama-
ton, talked of Europe "smeared with
blood" and made it clear she wished
to remain free of hostilities. Her
military establishment is one of the
greatest in Europe in comparison
with her population. With a normal
standing army of only $4,000, she
now has 100000 men ''on CALI and
450, 900 more reserves.
Hungary, signer of the anti
Comintern past with Germany, Italy
and Japan, has shown her eagerness
for neutrality, in spite of an occa-
sionally expressed desire for the re-
turn of territory lost after the last
war. Her forces have been brought
to a war standing of 100000 men,
with 100000 more trained soldiers in
reserve.
Greece, likewise eager to keep out
of war, has called 100000 of her 581..
900 trained men to the colors. Most
OF the little nations also issued gov
ernment orders rationing food, con-
trolling the press, establishing GEN.

southwest. Ambulances were hurry
ing by in the street.
II went in the direction of the
explosion and saw a demolished
apartment house I could hear chill
dren shrieking and saw people hid
ing their faces in their hands.
"A few minutes later two bodies
were carried from the ruins"
The witness added that the first
bomb fell in the harbor, raising a
column of water; the second near a
factory, tearing hole in the
ground; the third hit the apartment
house. and the fourth fell in the
courtyard Of another building, where
no one was hurt.
May Demand Indemnity.
The Danish government sent a
commission to investigate the bomb
ing and Foreign Minister Peter
Munich said he would make a pro-
test and demand indemnity If the
nationality of the plane could be
discovered. 1t was hoped it would
be possible to find the bomb that
fell in the harbor as clue to the
planes nationality.
Two theories were offered: That
the planes pilot was British and
thought he was over German terri
tory, or that he was a German
scouting the British feet and had re-
leased the bombs through some
accident.

mitted that a trip to Europe is alb
solutely necessary.
The question of using naval vessels
to convoy American merchant ships
has not gone beyond the discussion
stage, officials said.
The President talked over the
matter yesterday with Acting Navy
Secretary Edison and Admiral
Harold Stark, chief of naval opera
tions.
Acting Secretary Edison later ex-
pressed the view the convoy question
was complicated, involving the prob
lem whether fast merchant ships
would be better off unguarded or
slowing up to remain close to escorts.
Mr.. Edison indicated to reporters
it would be best for the Atlantic
naval squadron to remain close to
American shores Asked the reason,
he said:
We'll, you have seen reports of
submarines in the Caribbean, haven't
you?"
He emphasized, however, that the
Navy Department has no official
word of the presence of such craft
in the area.
Of the 10000 Americans believed
to be in Germany, Britain, France,
Poland and Italy, a well-informed
official estimated approximately 30
900 want quick removal homeward.

or other connections which bind
them to those nations, and are ex-

Passport Precautions.
Heavy penalties, ranging up to five
years Imprisonment and $4,000 fine,
will be sought against persons max
ing misleading statements in apply
ing for passports, it was announced.
The State Department said one
aim of the new regulations was to
provide for every possible precau-
tion to assure the Importance of
American passports as definitely
identifying and establishing the
citizenships of the persons to whom
they are issued.
Extraordinary care" will be taken
in this regard, the department said.
Consequently, persons desiring to
60 to Europe were urged to submit
their applications three weeks in
advance.
The rules also provide that when
American citizens return to this
country their passports will be taken
up and returned to the State De-
partment so as to make certain
they will not again be used except
in accordance with the new regula-
tionS.

Llewellyn Miller, and they located
in Athens until about two years ago,
when they moved to Redtown,
where she ended her earthly pill
grimage. She attended church on
Saturday evening, and exhorted the
people, especially the young, to-
make preparation for the life here
after; went home and the next
morning was stricken with apoplexy
and fingered until Wednesday ev-
ening, when she passed to her eter-
nal reward, with him who extend
ed to her the invitation, "Come un-
to me all We that labor and are
heavy laden and I will give you
rest.o Often the writer heard her
speak of the soul rest she received
after she accepted the invitation
and came Often he heard her tes-
tify to becoming an heir of God
and a joint heir with Jesus Christ.
This Christian life was begun while
a young girl and she united with
the Pisgah congregation. Approx
mately so years ago she and others
withdrew from Pisgah church, and
organized the Free Methodist body
and built the Carmel church. She
remained faithful to that church
until the end.
During her long and useful life,
she was always interested in the
welfare of all people, especially the
sick. She made Christianity her
chief topic of conversation, even
with strangers.
Rev. Martin used at her funeral
text which was very appropriate for
the occasion: II have fought
good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith;
henceforth there is laid up for me
a crown of righteousness which the
Lord the righteous judge shall give
me in that day and not to me only,
but to all them also who love his
appearing" May we profit by her
example is the desire of the writer.
