_King Tino at Athens to his brother-in-law William at Potsdam: "Please
return me my runaway Army Corps. I want it to shoot my constitutional
subjects."_

The Hellenic Government entirely disavows the action of Colonel
Hazzopoulos, commander at Kavala.
The Greek Government demands from Germany that these troops shall be
brought to the Swiss frontier, that they may be conducted to a
Mediterranean port, and there be embarked on ships to be sent by the
Greek Government, so as to bring them back to Greece.
The Greek Government guarantees that they will not be stopped, or made
to serve any enemy of Germany.
_Note from the Hellenic Government
to Germany, September 26, 1916._

The whole world, including neutrals of the highest purposes and
humanitarians with the best motives, must know that there can be no
outside interference at this stage. Britain asked no intervention when
she was not prepared to fight. She will tolerate none now that she is
prepared until Prussian military despotism is broken beyond repair.
D. LLOYD GEORGE, _London, September 28, 1916._

_THE CROWN PRINCE PREACHES TO AMERICA_

We are all tired of bloodshed, we all want peace. England is the power
responsible for the continuation of the hopeless effort to crush us. In
the twentieth century of the Christian era mankind might have been
expected to have arrived at some maturity of thought and behavior. No
one can witness, as you during the last fortnight have witnessed, the
spectacle presented by this appalling sacrifice, this inconceivable
suffering preposterously out of proportion to any result obtained,
without wondering whether reason has fled from the earth.
GERMAN CROWN PRINCE _to Correspondent
of New York American. October, 1916._

_"I am 'operating' at, but not inside your gate; tomorrow I come inside
with a letter from the Kaiser."_
On Sunday, October 8, the world was startled by the news that the U-53
was sinking British and neutral vessels near Nantucket Shoals Lightship,
a hundred miles from Newport, U. S. A., and leaving the crews and
passengers in small boats on the open sea. The underseas craft had
stationed itself in the steamer lane where nearly all incoming and
outgoing vessels from New York must pass, and its day's work consisted
in sending five ships to the bottom, as follows:
The _Strathdene_, a British freighter.
The _West Point_, a British freighter.
The _Stephano_, a British passenger liner.
The _Bloomersdijk_, a Dutch freighter.
The _Christian Knudsen_, Norwegian freighter.
_New York Times, October 9, 1916._
