GREECE GIVES ULTIMATUM
TO GERMAN AMOASSADOR
Internationa.' News Service.
ATHENS, Sept. 20.—That the new
Greek ministry will have a definite
policy and will act with decision is
indicated by the fact that Premier
Kalogerapoules has presented an ulti
matum to the German ambassador
here.
The premier has demanded of the ,
German government the return to
Greece of the Kaval forts, arsenals, !
supplies and munitons and also the 1
release from internment of the Fifth j
division of the Greek army, and the
retirement from Greek soil of the com- 1
bined German and Bulgarian forces. !
The German government is given
until September 22 to fulfill these de
mands. The above facts were given
out in an official statement here today j
and has met with tremendous popular •
approval.
.
LONDON, Sept. 20.—Official news
has been received from Athens that
Premier Kalogerapoules has made a
demand in the nature of an ultima
tum upon Germany for the restitution
of the Fifth division of the Greek army
seizzed by German and Bulgarian
troops on September 14. The demand
also calls for an exacuation of the
Kaval forts and a retirement of Ger
man and Bulgarian troops from Greek j
territory. 9
This peremptory action by the new 1
Greek cabinet is token to mean that.
Greece will hove a rupture with the
central allies within three days and
will then enter tin war against tin
Teutonic forces. The news is accepted
here as a matter of course as the
newspapers have believed for a long
time that Greco would lie aligned fin
the Ihitish side.
LONDON, Sept. 2d A I tender dis
patch from Athens says that Greece
has decided to abandon the principle
of neutrality and to actively aid the
allies without making a formal dccla
railon of war against Germany and !
r.ulg'nria.
This decision was reached at a con- ,
l’orence between King' Constantine, I
I'lemier Kologera poules, and the for- j
cign minister of the new cabinet.
The declaration of war may not
come, this issue depending on whether
Germany accedes to the Greek ultima
tum which calls for the evacuation of
the Kavala forts and the interned
Greek troops.

STRIKING TRACTION EMPLOYEES
CONTROL NEW YORK STREETS
FOR SEVERAL HOURS
international News Service.
NKW YORK. Sept. 2l». Not since
the renewal of the ear strike on Sep
tember (i when the men wont out io
obtain the reinstatement of the men
who were discharged during the tirsl
strike, has there been anything like
the disorder now prevailing in this
city. And on very few occasions has
there been such scenes of rioting and
sueli a complete control of the streets
liy men bent on inflicting' harm to
human beings and damage to property.
hast evening attempts were made by
the traction company to run the cross
town cars. As soon as cars had pro
ceeded a short distance they were
stopped and the crews forcibly remov
ed and beaten by the mob.
When no more ears came forth the
rioters stormed two ear barns and
drove out their occupants. Cars and
equipment were demolished. All rail
way employes about the ear stations
wen put to flight.
For hours the * mob moved from
street to street stopping all surface
ears and maltreating the conductors
and motormen. I
Such police reserves and regulars as
attempted to disperse the mob were
for the time overpowered and the
rioters retained their control of the
streets.
The strikers made no attempt to
stop the elevated trains but continu
ally pelted them with stones and garb
age. A number of elevated passen
gers were injured by tnisiles and Hy
ing splinters of glass.
Alter hours of delay and when to a
certain extent the fury of the rioters
had worn itself out, Police Commis
sioner Woods got together alarge force
of policemen who dispersed the mob
arresting many who resisted.
Woods says that the strikers took
advantage of the fact that yesterday
was primary election day and that
many patrolmen had to be detailed to
teb election booths. Had it not been
for the fact, that on this day the pa
trolmen were overworked and scatter
ed, says Woods, the rioting never
could have attained such proportions.
Public Service Commissioner Straus
is not hopeful of a satisfactory ami
speedy termination of the struggle as
Chairman Shouts remains obdurate in
his refusal to reinstate the form* r
strikers or t<> leave the matter to n>
arbitration or conciliation hoard.
NKW V«»IIK. Sept. I’a. Cnion work
ers are greatly inflamed over the oc
currences of lust night. Manx of the
strikers were badly handled hy the po
lice and a large number are in jail.
The union members feel that an
important principle is at stake ami
declare they are ready to strike and
suffer hunger if necessary to maintain
that principle.
Cnion leaders deprecate tin part
taken in the rioting by union m* n
and declare that most of riot* is wm
thugs hired by the eompany to cause
trouble to influence the public mind.
They do not deny that some strikers
xvere in the mob, and they apologiz*
for them on the ground that ‘hex an
human and cannot possibly feel friend
ly toward the men xx ho are stealing
their jobs.

IIKIIUN, Sept. 20.- An official re
view of the fighting in the Somme
si dor up to and including Septembi i
1 T> belittles the claims of the French
ami British that they have made con
spicuous progress on that front.
The statement says that the British
losses in the Somme operations alone
to the date stated had been in excess
of three hundred and fifty thousand
men in killed, wounded and missing.
The losses of the French in the same
sector during the same period have
been about one hundred and lift>
thousand in killed, wounded and niiss
! ini?.
To compensate the French and Brit
j ish for these frightful losses, their
, eoinliined gains have been fifteen thou
sand square kilometers, This repre
! seats less than three per cent, of the
I ground now held by the Germans in
1 Belgium and France.
It is further pointed out that the
! allied plan of winning by attrition is
working the wrong wa> as the Ger
man losses in the same sector during
1 he same turn were less than half o1
the eoinhineil French anil British.
II is furthm stated in the review
that tile economic victory in this
earn painn decidedly favors tlie Katin i -
land as the British have wasted mil
lions of marks a day in useless artil
lery tile which served Mo purpose. Tile
estimated expediture of ammunition
by the British is three (inns greater
than the (derman.
