After a night and day of rioting in
Athens King Constantine is reported
in dispatches from Athens to have
issued an official warning to the peo
ple that demonstrations against the
French maines and sailors must end.
In his warning he declared that
Greece’s fate as a nation hangs in
the balance and that was the reason
for his plea.
The Qreek government also sent
to the neutral nations an official pro
test against the landing of Allied
armed forces to protect Athens as a
violation of Greek rights.
So violent is the frenzy of feeling
against the Allies among the Greek

Teutonic Diplomats In Washington
Think Accident Happened But
Disbelieve Capture.
■» ' u
(.088 of the German submarine
merchantman Bremen virtually was
conceded in Washington Thursday
by ranking Teutonic diplomats in
position to be familiar with the
movement of the vessel. The Bre
men is one month overdue.
It was admitted that German offi
cials were without information as to
the fate of the Bremen. All they
know Is that she set out for Amer
lea from Bremerhaven and that she
should have arrived at an American
port soon after the middle of last
month.
The disappearance of the Bremen
will not cause abandonment of the
project to send merchant submarines
regularly from Germany to the Unit
ed States, It was said. There appear
ed to be reason to expect that an
other sub-sea freighter, either the
Deutschland or some other, would
reach an American port aonie time
within the next month.
German officials in Washington do
not believe the Bremen could have
fallen Into the hands of the British
unless she had some accident to her
machinery. They pointed out that,
unlike naval submarines, merchant
submarines avoid all localities fre
quented by shipping and therefore
are not open to the same risks.
Reports that the Bremen had ar
rived safely In New London were
published In newspapers in Germany
more than two weeks ago. The Bre
men was commanded by Capt.
Schwarzkopf and carried a crew of
approximately twenty-* 1 -* men.
One official said It was consider
ed most likely that the Bremen had
met the fate of several naval sub
marines which had never been heard
from. These vessels have disappear
ed completely and none of the mem
bers of their crews has been report
ed as being in detention camps of
tj>e Allies. It Is precumed that they
had some accident.
Another argumeu. advanced in
support of this the ry whs that the
Bremen had aboard a number of im
portant documents for the German
