he had between TO.000 nnd 90,000 men un

presence of Taut rullor nt the confer

Officials, however, declared that ther
did not take this protest too seriously If
Carranza refuses to work along tne lines
that the various nation Anally approve,
he will be Ignored nnd his chief generals
will be directly appealed to to favor the
plan and support It.
VILLA'S LOSSES DENIED,
Tho Vlllleta agency late today Issued a
complete denial that Villa's Army had
tiMn ihnt to nlerea In recent engage
ment They declare that not alone has
there been no fighting at Zacatccai, but
that there has been no serious lighting
for weeks In that vicinity. Villa Is nt
Chihuahua, they declare, simply to cor
rect abuses and extortion by Mexican
and foreign merchants there. Nogales
Is quiet at present, they eay, following
yesterday' righting, but Carranza Is
bringing nn additional troops, prepared
for & further attack there In violation of
the promise that border territory was to
be preserved Inviolate. General Car
rasco, with 1500 men, they declare, has
deserted Carranza and joined the VI Illflt as
In Slnnloa It Is also denied that Flerro's
fllng column has been wiped out at
Qtictctaro.
Tho army and navy wore preparing for
any eventuality today. General Fred
Funston was holding nil the forces under
his command ready to move anywhere
nlong the border to check marauding
bands nnd to enforce any embargo that
may be decided on Another battery of
artillery was in route from Fort Sill to
El Prtso nnd cavalry regiments nt sev
eral points had been advised that they
might get marching orders Bhortly.
The suggestion that General Hugh
Scott, chief of staff of the army, be sent
to mediate between tho factions was gen
"erally approved. Whether It will bo car
ried out, however, was doubtful. Inas
much as Tretldent Wilson Is Understood
to feel that enough time has been wasted
by personal envoys
Ho Is very anxious to get the Mexican
situation out of the tiny before Congress
reassembles, realizing his political op.
ponents expect to make It an Issue In
anticipation of the coming presidential
campaign.
In this connection Ilepubllcans nro
freely criticising the calling for a concert
of the South American Powers at this
time. In Iew of the Administration's re
fusal In tho past ecn to consider such
a plan. It Is charged that this action
Is taken In an attempt to disarm politi
cal criticism of the past Mexican policy
and to forco support for a now program
that could not be secured if it had not
been given an International flavor. There
Is no longer any doubt here that Villa
has been severely defeated In nil his
recent military operations. But omclals
familiar with tho situation declared to
day that now that he Is back In the
north he will easily recruit a new army.
.CARRANZA WARNED.
Consul Sllllman has been ordered to
warn Carranza that this Government will
not consent tu his plan of deporting
Americans who are obnoxious to him. Ho
must have definitely proved charges
against those he Interferes with at Vera
Cruz, and they must bo permitted to
close up their business affairs without In
terference. In addition. Carranza has
been told that he must not try to disarm
reputable Americans in Mexico City.

Contlnaed from rage One
of their string" bo far as offensive move
ments nro concerned.
The German viewpoint Is:
First That Russia has been dealt a
blew that will nullify her offensive power
fo a long time to come.
Second. That England and France real
ize their Inability to push the Germans
out of France and Belgium, as evidenced
by their Inactivity while Germany con
centrates against the Slavs.
Third. That the Dardanelles can never
be forced.
Fourth. That the Balkan situation Is
satisfactory. Inasmuch as Bulgaria, ac
cording to best available Information, has
given assurance that she will remain neu
tral until the end of the war.
TUnKS GET SHELLS.
This spirit of optimism Is shared equally
by both Germany and Austria. Con
stantinople advices report the situation
satisfactory from the Turkish standpoint.
The scarcity of shells which hindered the
Turks' operations early In tho war has
been remodled, The Turks ore now able
to produce enough shells In their own
munition factories to supply their needs,
Tho situation at Athens Is being
watched closely by German diplomats, but
political circles here have little fear that
Greece will abandon her neutrality.
Various reports have reached here that
the Venlzelos party, which is shortly to
come into power at Athens, does not con
trol the 70 majority credited to the
former Premier following the recent elec
tions, and that in all events would be
unable to obtain a majority behind a
war program.
Other reports Indicate that Venlzelos,
who was for war several months ago.
Is not the same Venlzelos today, and
that both he and King Constantlne now
agTee that Greece should remain neu
tral. The recent Austro-Qerman suc
cesses have worked a profound and
sobering effect upon the smaller Balkan
units.
GBEECE ANGERED
Advices received here Indicate that the
people of Greece are In no hurry to ally
themselves with Great Britain, despite
reports from English sources. The native
Greeks on the Islands of Creta and Cy
pern have tiled voluminous protests to
Athens against British Interference with
commerce. Greeks In Egypt are reported
to have protested to their home Govern
ment against British mistreatment Out
of these situations there has come a new
Oredon state of mind.

BRUZA, Asiatic Turkey, July 24 (by
courier to Dedeagatch, Bulgaria, and
thenco by cable)
Daring English submarine commanders,
by burrowing beneath tho thickly mlnod
v.ators of tho Dardanelles and eluding tho
Turkish fleet, have created a reign of ter
ror from the western entranoe to the Sea
of Marmora to the very gates of Con
stantinople.
Exactly how many Turkish ships have
been sent to tho bottom by British sub
merslblcs probably is known only to tho
Turkish Ministry of Marine. The under
sea craft havo been particularly success
ful In Btrlking at Turkish transports.
En route here from Constantinople I
learned that aboard ono of these sunk
recently were 600 wounded Turks, who
had just been discharged from Constan
tinople hospitals- and were returning to
the Gnlllpoll front. Only 150 were saved.
Tho news was suppressed by tho Turk
ish Government, but the disaster occurred
In full view of another transport laden
with wounded soldiers who made tbi
fact known.
READY TO MOVE CAPITAL.
Bruza Is the Asia Minor city to which
It was proposed to move tho Turkish cap
ital in case Constantinople was threat
ened. I came hero flrst on tho Friday
boat of the thrce-tlmes-a-weok servlco
from Constantinople, qcross tho Sea of
Marmora. A few days previous tho boat
from Bruza to Constantinople had actu
ally been stopped and boarded by officers
from a British submarine within a few
miles of Islam's capital.
The British officers wore looking for
Turkish soldiers. Thoy found none, but
took off what food supplies there were
aboard, paying for thorn In English gold
and saluting courteously as they left the
ship.
Because of tho fear Inspired by this
visit our boat left tho Bosporus with the
lifeboats swung out and with hundreds
of life preservers hanging over the rail
ready for Instant use. Instead of heading
directly across the Sea of Marmora, the
usual oourse, we crept along the coast
for the entire distnnce, never getting
mora than 200 or 300 yards from shore.
On the following Monday, no more sub
marines having been sighted, the captain
took courage and we headed directly
across the little sea on tho return to
Constantinople.
Peasants and provincial officials aboard
the boat did not share the captain's ob
timlsm and wo had scarcely left the lost
protecting point of land when a shout
rang out from the bridge. Tho signal
bells clanged, the boat turned tail and
fled for shore, and there was a wild
scurry for life belts.
The excitement lasted only a moment.
There were countermanding orders from
tho bridge and wo resumed our course
Two miles off to the left a porpoise had
leaped from the water. The Imagination
of an officer who thought he saw a sub
marine periscope did the rest I found
tho same feeling of uneasiness on my
second trip here.
MANY PRECAUTIONS TAKEN.
Farther south in the Sea of Marmora:
where transports aro steaming to and
from Galllpoll peninsula, the greatest
precautions aro taken against the Eng
lish submarines. Armed soldiers line the
rails with orders to shoot at everything
appearing on tho surface. This is tho
season for tho porpoises to show their
greatest activity, and the porpoise mor
tality, consequently, is without precedent
in the history of the sea.
To safeguard them against submarine
attack the hospital transports are all
painted white with stripes of red running
mo mil icusin, ine itea crescent is the
official symbol of the Turkish Red Cres
cent Society, which corresponds to the
Rod Cross. But the Turks have more
faith In the Red Cross than In tho Red
Creecent and fly the Red Cross flag an
soon as they are, out of sight of Con
stantinople. Returning to the capital, the
hoi.pltal ships hoist the Red Crescent as
they approach the Bosphorus.
The police are confident that the Brit
ish "subs" have a base somewhere In the
Sea of Marmora and that come one of
the few hundred English remaining In
Constantinople Is supplying this base with
petrol. Hardly a day passes that some
Englishman is not celzed and hauled off
to undergo a "third degree,"

Austrian forces made repeated and very
violent counter-attacks today against the
right and left wings of the Italian
armies, which are steadily enveloping
tho Isonso fortresses of Gorilla and Tol

Meanwhile tho Austrian commanders

needed to organize tho second lino de

cral advance would becomo a regular In
vasion on n very large scale. The Ital.
Ions have broken down tho entire flrst

The official communique Issued by the
War Ofllce was as follows!
"Our heavy artillery successfully bom

Rubbla and Dobardo. Our advance was
resumed at tho centre, while our left
progressed slowly and our right won con
fined to holding Its position. Tho enemy
suffered heavy losses In a vain attempt
to rctako Monte Del Sel Bus!."
Austrian attempts to drlvo tho Italians
from Monte Sel Bust are explained by the
fact that tho Italian advanco In this di
rection threatens to cut off their com
munications and hence the eventual re
treat of the garrison of Gorizlo, since an
enveloping movement Is apt to follow at
any moment. ,
Besides cosily repulsing counter-attacks,
tho Italians are enabled to send troops
against the attacking forces. Tha Aus
trian rountcr-attacks are worso than use
less, since tho Italian positions at Monte
Sel Bust are practically Impregnable.
The Itallais are advancing against Ro
vcreto. The forts surrounding the town
have been shelled by Italian Beige guns.
