BULGARS DRIVE
REDCROSSOirr
FROM BALKAN!
ISLAND OF SCIATHOS, Aegeai
Sea, Via London, Feb. 8 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—Th<
American Red Cross Mission which is
making a survey of conditions in th<
Balkan states with a view to aidint
the refugees who were driven out bj
Bulgarian occupation, experienced i
tempestuous voyage from Piraeus, the
port of Athens, to Saloniki, and finallj
found refuge in this mountain-shelt
ered harbor in the upper reaches ol
the Aegean Sea.
The old coastwise Greek steamer
Peloponnesus, on which they were
traveling encountered a gale in which
the vessel labored so severely that it
was feared at one time she would
never reach port. Having slopped 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 a northeast wind lashed the
sea into waves that tossed the old
steamer about like a 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 a
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 ship’s 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
chickens, canary birds in cages,
baskets of food, containers of wine,
boxes of household pets such as cats,
dogs and rabbits were huerled about
in confusion.
The steamer was so helpless in the
high seas that the ship’s officers
I feared for the safety of the 300 or
more passengers, and sailors were
ordered to adjust the life-belts and
to stand by. The only land in sight
was the distant snow-capped peak of
i Mount Pelion, which stood out like a
great sentinel in the darkening day,
but which offered little consolation
to the despairing passengers, for there
was no beach or shore in sight on
which the Peloponnesus could take
refuge.
The captain decided to turn back
and make for the harbor of the Island
of Sciathos, about twenty-five miles
south. It was a dangerous and diffi
cult task to turn the steamer about
in the high seas, and the operation
was the most anxious five minutes of
the whole trip. The vessel careened
violently and seemed about to capsize
while the bow and stern alternately
were submerged. The women pas
sengers became hysterical and the
Red Cross officers were kept busy
calming them. By skilful maneuver
ing the pilot finally brought the ship
about and the Peloponnesus fled to
the sheltered hart/or of Sciathos.
When the Red Cross men started
to go ashore to obtain food they found
there was an epidemic of influenza
among the islanders and the authori
ties refused to allow them to land.
For the next four days before reach
ing Saloniki the passengers subsisted
as best they could on bread and cab
bage.
The members of the special Red
Cross mission who made the voyage
were: Colonel Homer Folks, New
York; Captain Edwin G. Merrill, New
York; Captain Lawrence Pumpelly,
Ithaca, N. Y.; Captain James A. Mills,
New York, and Lieutenant Louis W.
Hine, New York.
BAVARIA'S NEW RULERS
BELIEVE IN HIGH SALARIES
MUNICH, March 3.—The conserv
ative Center or Catholic organ of Ba
varia, the Courier, which, since the
revolution has made a feature of the
cost of the new government, takes de
light in printing, Jwith appropriate
comment, the salaries of the employes
of the central government in Berlin,
as somewhat reluctantly announced
by People's Deputy Landsberg before
the National council of Workmen and
Soldiers’ Councils.
The forty-five members of the coun
cil to which Landsberg belongs re
ceive $12.50 a day, annually $4,565, or,
as the Courier points out, the equiva
lent of the salaries of over-presidents
of courts; forty-eight confidential as
sistants and fortw-two couriers are
paid $10 a day, annually, therefore
$3,650, or as much as German sena
torial and government presidents.
"Yes, we certainly have done well,”
remarks the Courier.
PRUSSIAN MILITARISM
IS DEAD C N PIT
BERNE, Switzerland, Feb. 1 (by
mail).—-On the question of freedom
of the seas. Professor Friedrich W.
Foerster, Bavarian minister to Switz
erland, said recently to a correspond
ent of the Associated Press:
“I 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. Foerster 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.

POLICE UNABLE
to cope mm
HOLD-UP MEN
ODESSA, Feb. 8 (Carrespondence
of the Associated Press).—Police pro
tection by the Russians in Odessa is
so ineffective that street robberies at
the pistol point are frequent after
dusk and jio night passes without
considerably firing. Armed bands
have been So bold that they have at
tacked bustaess houses in daylight.
French troops, however, are taking
command of the situation by organiz
ing patrols and the Russian governor
has proclaimed martial law.
At Bolshevik meetings reported at
Kiev and otter Ukrainian cities, agi
tators are discussing the seizure of
power and the creation of a Ukrainian
state. It is declared that 85 per cent
of the Kiev Soviet are Communists.
Those most competent to judge the
Ukrainian situation from the stand
point of nipping Bolshevik anarchy
in the bud urge allied intervention
pending the organization of the na
tional elements to recover from the
stunning blows of the past year. Al
lied counsel in the settlement of
agrarian and other problems would
be invaluable.
Material aid in the shape of goods
at fair prices would be an earnest of
the allies’ intentions and would go
far to dispel in the eyes of peasants
and workmen the Bolshevik fictions
concerning the “exploiting ambitions
of the allied imperialists and capital
ists.” It Is declared here that non
intervention would merely place Rus
sia at the mercy of the Bolslieviki
and eventually play into German
hands.
Many receptions and entertainments
are being given in Odessa for allied
officers sq^ men.
An adM)ss presented by the women
of Odessa to the allied forces ex
pressed the conviction that generous
French and all the faithful allies have
not forgotten the first years of the
war, when Russia “proved her valor
on Prussian and Austrian battlefields
and sacrificed the flower of her patri
otic youth,”
AMERICAN SOLDIERS
PROVE RESOURCEFUL
PARIS, Feb. 2 (by mail).—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 Men’s Christian Associa
tion 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 a 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 evening’s
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 a drum, a mandolin, a
violin and a piano.
