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. '

Two British Ships Sunk.
'London. Feb. 21. Lloyd's an
nounces that the British sailing ship
Centurion has been sunk. Its crew
was . landed. The Centurion was a
vessel of 1,828 tons. ; -
Lloyd's this afternoon announced
that the British steamship Brigade of
425 tons gross had been sunk. The
Brigade was built at Paisley in 1914
and was owned in Glasgow. It was
149 feet long.
. Identity of Ships Lost.
The Italian steamer Oceania, of
4,217 tons grossj left New York on
January 27 for Gibraltar.
'The French steamer Mont Ventoux,
of 3,213 tons (probably the vessel
mentioned by Berlin) was last re
ported leaving Cardiff on December
8: for a port not stated.
Maritime records list two steamers
named Minas, one Italian, 2,854 tons
gross, and the other Greek, 2,506 tons
gross.
The Norwegian steamship Sleog
land, 0,041, sailed from New York
January 13 for Kirkwall, The Swed
ish steamer Skogland, 3,264 tons,
sailed from Norfolk, January 26, for
Bagnoli.
s-No French vessel named Guiseppe
is listed. There are two Italian
steamships Guiseppe, one 1,856 tons,
the other 1,221 tons.
Two Russian sailing ships of 371
and sixty-seven tons are named
Guido. There is also an Italian sail
ing vessel of 324 tons of this name.
Th.; Guido referred to probably is
the British steamship of that name,
2.093 tons gross.
; The steamer Rosalie referred to is
probably the British vessel of that
name, 4.243 tons, which sailed from
l New York January 28 for Saloniki.
There is also an American Rosalie,
329 tons, owned in San Francisco.

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

MORE FOOD RIOTS
IN NEW YORK CITY
Number of Gatherings of

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

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.

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

those necessary to maintain life.
"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

which are not true. Please advise

by a fine of not more than $1,000 or
imprisonment for not more than six
months, or both, and for any subse
quent offense shall be imprisoned not
more than one year."
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.
