GREEK BLOCKADE fflOSTJEFFECTIYE Price of Canned Goods In creases Fivefold and Food Cards Are Issued. BREAD TWO -THIEDS - BEAN iCorrapondnc of The Aoeltd Press. ) Athens, .Jan. 25. This message is sent on the first ship carrying passen gers for America that has left Greece since the declaration of the allied blockade of Greece on December 8. The blockade .is absolute. The only vessels of any nation allowed to make Greek ports are the rare Italian ones, themselves forbidden to dis charge foodstuffs or mails for that part of Greece which is not Veniie- list. The price of ordinary canned goods has gone up 500 per cent. The , banks refuse to accept drafts on for eign countries owing to the stoppage of the mails, there being no way for forwarding them for collection. Food Cards Issued. The blockade was officially de clared on December 8, but has been in practical effect since the first of December. No measures were taken to conserve the food supply until De cember 20. Then bread cards were issued, the bread ordered mixed with cornmeal flour and barley and seven tenths of a pound allotted per person per diem. Later sugar and potato cards were issued. To save coal the restaurants were ordered closed at 10 p. m., the moving picture theaters closed in the evenings and- the elec tric street lamps suppressed. Shops and stores were shut at 6 instead of 8:30, as usual. A sudden cold wave a week ago .produced great suffering among the poorer classes, t large majority of whom were already out of work ow ing to the stoppage of shipping and the shutting down of all business for export. The king gave permission that the royal forest of Tatoi be cut to provide fuel, -"Bread Two-Thirds Bran. A -week after the establishing of the government control of foodstuffs, bran was ordered mixed with the bread flour. Today the bread is two thirds bran. The prime minister in formed the Associated Press corres pondent yesterday that twenty-nine infants between the ages of 3 and 10 had died in Athens atone of intesti nal troubles, due to the unfitness of the bread as food for children. By mid-December the hospitals of Ath ens were compelled to refuse to ac cept further patients, as they could not feed them. All the wheat in priv ate hands in Greece has long since been confiscated. Under these conditions Athens is and has been perfectly calm. From the evening of December 2, follow ing the withdrawal of the allied troops from the capital of Greece, order has been easily kept by a com pany of sailors. A few attempts to raid bakeries in the early days of the government food control were quickly suppressed and have not been renewed. Save for the darkness of the streets at night, and .the early closing of restaurants, life in Athens seems normal. ' ITALIAN TROOP v SHIP DESTROYED , ' .: !

Nothing for Premiums on Bonds. 1 The . first paragraph in the bill strictly prohibits the use of any state funds in paying premiums on bonds of officers or their assistants, except in the cases of the state treasurer and his deputy, for which specific appro priations are made. In the past it has been customary for the adjutant gen eral's office, the insurance department and some others to pay tor their bonds out of their cash receipts. For Legal Aid.

WILL PARADE WALL STREET BULLETIN. New York, Feb. 21. After Mayor Mitchel had been informed by east side housewives today that their chil dren "were starving to death by hun dreds" because of the high cost of food, he promised to place before the board of Estimate o,i Friday their plea that $1,000,000 be appropriated oy inn city 11 nuy bouu lur uismuu tion at reasonable prices. Three committees representitfe East Side women wer: admitted to the mayor's office after an attemj ted demonstration by housewives at the door of the city hall was prevented by the police, the mayor said he did not believe the citv goverr.ment had authority to appropriate $1,000,000 for the purpose the women requested, but pending a decision ne oirecte" an in vestigation of conditions. The women pointed out that the city has authority to buy food for patients ir hospitals and declared it had equal power to ap propriate sums to be use, ic buy tood for persons ill for want of nourish ment. The mayor asserted thai state and national governments were the only authorities proper to deal with the food situation and urged the commit te..s to use their influence on tle 8iate legislature representatives to enact laws which will establish public mar kets so that food speculators would be eliminated and the city re given power legally to control food prices. New York, Feb. 21. Policeman guarding the city hall prevented to day another demonstration by east side women intent upon personally calling to Mayor Mitchel's attention the increased cost of food. About 200 of the women ap proached the building to find patrol men blocking their progress at every entrance. Reserves went among them, informing them that if they dispersed quietly the mayor later would talk with a committee. The women scat tered, some of them weeping. Earlier in the day groups of wo men attempted to gather in an east side public square, but the police forced them to move on. They as sembled later, however, near the city hall, led by Marie Ganz, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World. Miss Ganz was arrested yesterday for addressing the hundreds of house wives who made the first demonstra tion at city hall. She was released on her plea that she urged the women not to resort to violence. Will Parade Wall Street. New York tenement dwellers have planned a series of public demonstra tions to convince the mayor and city officials that something must be done to reduce prices. One of the wildest protest meetings the city has ever known broke up early today after making arrangements for a great pa rade of women and children to march all day through Wall street and at night through Fifth avenue. An appeal was sent to President Wilson and a committee was ap pointed to demand that the city ap propriate $1,000,000 to be used im mediately for buying and distributing food among the poor. Impassioned speakers called upon the poor of the east side to crganize and pledged the financial support of the Hebrew Tradcj union. The capitalists were blamed for the high cost of food on the ground that they were amassing wealth by sending it to Europe. A thousand or more women at tended last nitiht's mass meeting, and at least 5,000 more fought to get into the hall. As vet no date has been set for the parade on Wall street and Fifth av enue. The organizers say they ex oect to have several hundred thous and women and children in line. A movement has been started to call a strike of school children living in the tenements on the ground that the h trh cost of living makes it neces sary for all. children old enough to go to work. Thomas Blames Speculators. Washington, Feb. 21. Yesterday's bread riots in New York claimed at tention in the senate during the de bate on increases in salaries for gov ernment clerks. Senator Thomas, democrat, of Colo rado, expressed the opinion that in creases in salary were no cure for the increasing coat ol living, because, ne Is Mealtime a Worry to You IS THE APPETITE POOR IS THE DIGESTION WEAK IS THE LIVER LAZY, AND THE BOWELS CONSTIPATED Under uch conditions you cannot obtain the maximum value from your food.

At your duler, 25c,. charged, those who control food prices would raise them to keep pace with salaries. "That is not the way to remedy bread riots such as we are having in the metropolis of this country," said Senate Thomas. "The way to deal with that is to take those who corner food supplies by the throats. 1 dis like to see food riots in free America, but I can see that it might be the first step toward relief." Many Causes for High Prices. Boston, Feb. 21. An increase in ex ports, shortage of nearly all crops in 1916, abnormal buying due to pros perity, inflation of the currency and a fail in the purchasing power of money are the principal reasons given for the present high prices of food by the state's cost of living commission, in a report to Governor McCall today. The great underlying causes of the recent rise in prices are beyond the control of any one state, the commis sion says. The report recommends increased production, the popular use of fish and milk instead of more expensive foods and a more general system of food distribution. Commissioner Francis X. Tvrell submitted a minority report in which he agreed substantially with the find ings of the majority, but suggested that the legislature be asked to memoralize congress to place an em bargo upon the export of foodstuffs and munitions. He also declared that the war was the direct cause of the increase of prices. WILL ASK DICTATOR FOR CAR SITUATION (Continued from Page One.) miuin of from S to 10 cents a bushel above Chicago parity, freight condi tions considered." His attention was invited to the of ficial statement that the car shortage of the country Is now 109.000 cars. Could Use 20,000 Cars. "I don't know just what those figures mean," he said, "but I do know that we could use 20,000 cars in Chi cago right now." Telegrams along the lines given in his statement were sent by Mr. Griffin to president of eastern rail roads and to the Interstate Commerce commission earlier in the day. In these he asserted among other things that a continuance of the present situation will lead to the pro motion of anarchy and rioting. He asserted that the root of the trouble lies in the use of a disproportionate number of cars on eastern roads for carrying manufactured articles, bring ing the railroads a higher revenue than grain and foodstuffs. He said that munitions of war formed only a part of 200 or 300 articles, which were given preference in the matter of cars. Telegram to Railroads. In his telegram to the nilroad pres idents Mr. Griffin says: "Despite all your assurances, no re lief has been afforded to move grain and other food products out of Chi cago. "The present sca-cit of supplies borders on famine in many communi ties, with the consequent inflation of values, directly chargable to the fail ure of railroads to meet this national emergency. "I reauest that instructions be is sued by you forthwith prohibiting the movement of any freight at this time excepting foodstuffs, coal and other commodities necessary to sustain hu man and animal existence. "Unless this is done there is great danger of riot and anarchy through out this land. The present situation is largely caused by railroads giving preference to commodities other than In Each Day's News .

"Failure to meet the situation is squarely up to the railroads." Appeal to Commission. In his telegram to the Interstate Commerce commission Mr. Griffin gives a synopsis of the one sent to the railroad presidents and adds: "None of the cures offered by the commission or the railroads them selves have been or can be effective. It is a fact beyond dispute that indus trials generally are operating at from 200 to 300 per cent above normal and securing such equipment as needed. It is very apparent therefore that pref erence is given to freight paying the greatest revenue. "We arc confronted with a national emergency. 1 request in behalf of the people of this country that the commission forthwith issue an order in line with the requests that I have made of eastern roads. "Failure to secure such an order as indicated is likely to result in a state of riot and anarchy throughout this country and the consequences of the same will be directly chargeable to the Interstate Commerce commis sion and the railroads." A meeting of directors of the Board of Trade, lawyers and traffic experts was held this afternoon to ascertain if legal means can be found to force the railroads and the Interstate Com merce commission to clear up the situation, particularly as it affects Chi cago. "The commission and the railroads have failed in the crisis," said Mr. Griffin. "We are trying to ascertain if the courts otter a solution. Chicaeo's drain elevators have nracticallv ceased operations, it said. They are loaded to the roofs and unable to ship out. Grain dealers have estimated that there are at least 30,000,000 bushels ol grain in Chicago elevators awaiting shipment, that there are at least 7,000,000 bushels on cars held up on switch tracks and sidings and that in addition tributary grain sections have an equal amount in elevators and on trains. Two Telegrams Sent. Washincton. Feb. 21. Two tele grams were sent in reply to the mes sage received by the Interstate Com merce commission trom President Griffin of the Chicago Board of Trade. At the same time it was said at the commission office that only a portion of Mr. Griffin's telegram had been made public in Chicago. The part which Mr. Griffin did not make public was withheld by the commis sion. Commissioner McChord replied to Mr. Griffin's telegram as follows: "Your telegram to Chairman Myer today contained many statements which are not true. Please advise names of men who informed you that THE toll of death is most im pressive. Your friend of yesterday is no more, and you wonder if he was prepared. In a sense he was, for he left a Will and his Estate will be man aged and distributed under his instructions, though he has gone.

SayS Board in Error. The commission sent this telegram: "Your wire 21st, received. You are in error in stating that Commis sioner McChord has ruled that Chi cago can only secure help by treating with individual railroads. Your rep resentatives were advised by Exam iner Dow that they had properly brought their situation to the car service committee; also that the Min neapolis arrangement fro shipments of animal feed to New England was made upon showing that an emer gency existed; also that a check was being made of grain shipments from all primary markets and that the In terstate Commerce commission would not sanction a preference to any mar ket. Also that efforts to secure train load movement of westbound empties would be continued. "You are also in error in stating that Commissioner McChord refused to consider Chicago necessities.

It also is provided that no news paper or other publication or letter containing liquor advertising shall be carried in the mails in states that prohibit such advertising. Mr. Sloan in explaining his vote said "I voted against the Reed amendment which will prevent the shipment of liquors for private use into Nebraska and other states which have voted "dry." In the prohibition, campaign every speech proceded on the theory that it was to banish the saloon but not to prevent individuals obtaining a reasonable supply of liquor from outside the state. More over, a careful fllowing of the legis lative proceedings at our state capi tol shows that members are carrying out that theory. I conceive it my duty not to vote for national legisla tion which would nullify Nebraska's right." . It is interesting to note that many of the prohibition leaders voted against the Reed amendment as their brethren did in the senate last week. The first test of strength came on an amendment offered by Representative Saunders of Virginia which would have made the Reed amendment ap ply only in states that now are "bone dry" in effect, then this would not change the present situation in any state.
