I
Germans Are Driven Out. of
Their Positions.
12,000 PRISONERS TAKEN
Believed Beginning of Move
ment of Huge Scope.
Landing By Entente Alliee Of Big
Forces At Salonika Expected.
20,000 German! Made Pris
oners In France.
The offensive movement begun by
the Allies against the Germans along
the western front has assumed great
proportions, and nctable successes
have been gained by the French and
.British forces, according to olllcial an
nouncements at London and Paris. The
German War Ollice admits that the
Germans have been repulsed at vari
ous points.
French troops have penetrated the
German lines along a front of 15 miles,
and for a depth at some places of 2
miles, In the Champagne district, ac
cording to the French official state
ment. Altogether, the French War
Office says, more than 20,000 unwound
ed prisoners have been taken by the
French and British in two days.
Field Marshal Sir John French, of
the British army, announces the rap
ture of five miles of German trenches
south of La Bassee Canal and east of
Vermelles, and states that in some In
stances British troops penetrated the
German positions for a distance of
1,000 yards.
It Is intimated at London, Tarls and
Athens that plans are afoot for the
landing in Greece by the Entente
Allies of a large force of troops to at
tack the Bulgarian flank, and march
across the peninsula to turn the Turk
lsh position at Gallipoll.
Italy is reported to have In readi
ness, for sending "wherever neces
aary," a force of troops "sufficient to
exercise considerable influence on de
velopments." AWAITING BIG STROKE.
France Confident Allies Are About To
Launch General Attack.
Taris. Not since the battle of the
Marne have General Joffre's forces at
tained such a pronounced and clear
cut success as the one tersely de
scribed in the communique.
The advance along 17 miles to a
depth sometimes of nearly three miles
cross strongly fortified intrenchmenti
disproves the generally held theory ol
a deadlock on the western front and i:
clear proof of the contention that
Joffre can get the Germans Into the
open when he wishes.
Good News From All Fronts.
Of the highest significance is the
fact that the Champagne victory comes
at a moment when good news for the
Allies is made known from all fronts.
During the last two days the Germans,
who for almost three weeks had been
harassed by a perfect avalanche of
shells along the western front, have,
with the Austrlans, been fighting the
bloodiest battles in the eastern region,
while Italy has advanced to within 10
miles east of Trent and 10 miles west
of Trieste.
These facts coincide with Important
developments In the Balkan situation,
and It would be a mistake to consider
each one of them a separate success.
They are all closely linked In one well
planned blow for the allied cause.
20,000 PRISONERS TAKEN.
British and French Capture German
Trenches.
London. The British and French
armies have ' taken several large
"nibbles" out of the German lines be

WAR
Greece Mobilizes to Counter
Bulgar Menace to Serbia.
NO WAR DECLARATION YET
Whole Of Balkans Is Now Under
Arms Russian Successes In
Galicia May Stay Bui
t garia's Hand.
London. As "a measure of ele
mentary prudenco," Greece has order
ed the mobilization of ber naval and
military forces.
Thus the action of Bulgaria in
making military preparations has
brought the last remaining Balkan
tato under arms, for Roumanla, while
not fully mobilized, tor some time has
had her troops ready for an einer
ency. Defensive, Says Constantino.
A press dispatch from Athens states
that the promulgation of King Con
stantlne's decree for the mobilization
of 20 classes of Greek soldiers has
aroused the greatest enthusiasm.
Issuance of the mobilization decree
enme quickly after the King had
granted an audience to Premier
Venlzelos. The Premier Informed the
King that mobilization was the only
possible reply to Bulgaria's move. To
this the sovereign ngreed, stipulating
that It should be regarded aa a de
fensive measure
The Minister of War, General
Banglis, subsequently took the decree
to tlie palace and the King signed it.
The 20 classes now called to the colors
are In addition to four classes already
under arms.
The Greek, Roumanian and Serbian
Ministers successively visited Sir Ed
ward Grev at the Foreign Olflce. The
Creek Minister formally communi
cated to the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs the telegram from his
Government announcing that in view
of the mobilization of Bulgaria the
Hellenic government considers It a
ncasure of elementary prudence to
order a general mobilization of the
Hellenic naval and military forces."
350,000 Troops Called.
It Is estimated that, In addition to
the Greek Navy, 350,000 Hellenic
troops will be mobilized within a few
days.
What plans Bulgaria really has In
mind and what Greece and Roumania
will do when these plans mature are
still matters for speculation. One
thing seems clear, however, Bulgaria
and Turkey, for so many years sworn
enemies, have composed their differ
ences. DYNAMITE SENT THROUGH MAIL.

Sinking of American Bark Frye
Was Illegal.
TO REFER TREATY TO HAGUE
Treaty Of 1828 and Not Existing In
ternational Law Makes Amerl
can Ships Immune From
Destruction.
Washington. Germany In a note on
the case of the ship William P. Frye
has given the United States formal
assurance that American vessels
carry conditional contraband will
under no circumstances be destroyed,
even though deemed lawful prizes.
The right to destroy American mer
chantmen if carrying absolute contra
band Is reserved, but the promise Is
given that this will be done only In
case of extreme necessity as provided
by the Declaration of London.
The assurances together with the
acceptance by Germany of the two
proposals of the United States the
one to name a Joint commission or ex
perts to fix the indemnity for the loss
of the Frye nnd the other to submit
to The Hague the dispute which the
case produced over the meaning of the
Treaty of 1S28 produced a favorable
effect In official quarters.
Just what the practicul operation
of the new assurances will be officials
were keenly Interested to learn, for
under the lists of contraband pro
claimed by Germany in retaliation for
actp of Great Britain nearly every
thing previously known as conditional
contraband has now been made abso
lute. The Question At Issue.
It Is not known as yet what attitude j
the United States will take In Its I
next note, but It Is understood that It .
mav reiterate Its Insistence that the
treaty of 1828 and not existing Inter
national law make American vessels
Immune from destruction Irrespective
of their cargoes. Germany, however,
Is anxious to submit to arbitration
what the meaning of the treaty Is on
this point, and It is possible that if
no further cases of damage occurs
during the pendency of the arbitra
tion proceedings the American govern
ment will be disposed to await the de
cision of the arbitral tribunal.
One thing which attracted atten
tion In connection with the German
note was the evident necessary of sub
marine commanders under their new
orders to exercise the right of visit
and search with respect to all Ameri
can vessels to determine the nature of
their cargoes.
The fact that Germany referred to
Its desire to demonstrate "Its con
ciliatory attitude" toward the United
States was regarded by many offi
cials as evidence that the Berlin
F'Tien Office was disposed to avail
Itself of every opportunity to remove
causes that have led to the strained
relations between the two govern
ments. WILL CLOSE CANAL TEN DAYS.
Slide At Panama Worst Since Last
October.
Washington. The earth slides In
the Panama Canal; near Gold Hill, are
much more extensive than was at first
reported nnd probably Will tie up the
waterway for at least 10 days. This
Jlspatch was received by the War De
partment from the Acting Governor of
the Canal Zone:
"Continued movement of slides Sun
day has caused the most' serious shoal
ing of the channel since last October.
Movement now has stopped. At least
10 days will be necessary to open the
rnnal. Shoals are 800 feet long and
at the worst point there Is only seven
feet of water, vith an island five feet
above water, 100 feet long and E0 feet
wide. In the middle of the channel.
"Not possible to work on the ob
struction with large dredges until a
channel to flont them Is cut through
with Belglnn ladder dredges. This
should be done in three days."

T
Plan Presented For Meeting
Huge Expenses.
TO RAISE POSTAL RATES
Taxpayers Face Heavy Increases,
National Debt Of $11,000,000,
000 Expected By
Year's End.
London. The greatest war budget
In the world's history was Introduced
In the House of Commons by Reginald
McKenna, Chancellor of the Exche
quer, as another step toward financing
the war, which Is now costing Great
Britain nearly $25,000,000 daily.
New military requirements and
changed methods of warfare have
created overnight additional expendi
tures which had not been reckoned
with even in the comparatively recent
estimates of David Lloyd-George, the
munitions minister, necessitating in
his budget, the third since the out
break of hostilities, the most drastic
and far-reaching taxes In the history
of the country, and Involving even free
trade.
Theories Go By Board.
Fiscal theories must go by the
board, Mr. McKenna declared. He
said he was actuated by the twofold
principle of raising additional funds
and enforcing economy by means of
taxation.
The Chnncellor estimated that the
Government's revenue for the current
year would be 272,1)00,000 ($1,360,
000,000), that the expenditure would
reach 590,000,000 ($7,950,000,000)
and that the dead weight of debt at
the close of the financial year would
be 2,200,000,000 ($11,000,000,000).
Mr. McKenna proposed an addition
of 40 per cent, to the existing Income
tax and the taxation of all Incomes of
130 ($650) or more. The present
minimum is 160.
The Chancellor also proposed an In
crease In the duty on sugar to 9s. 4d.
($2.24 per hundredweight).
A heavy tax on the profits of manu
facturers of war supplies also was pro
posed by the Chancellor. Fifty per
cent of all war profits above the
amount assessed for the income tax
last year will be subjected to a special
tax, which works out at 60 per cent,
of the profits. Mr. McKenna estimated
the revenue from this source in a full
year at 30,000,000 ($150,000,000).
An all-round Increase of 50 per cent
In the duty on tea, cofTee, chicory, to
bacco, dried fruits and other articles
was suggested and also an increase of
100 per cent, on patent medicines were
proposed.
To Raise Postal Rates.
Another source of revenue Is to be
an Increase In postal rates, which Is
expected to bring In 4,975,000 ($24.
875,000). The Chancellor plans to
abolish the half-penny postage and to
Impose additional charges on tele
phone .and telegraph messages.
A tax of 33 1-3 per cent, ad valorem
on all imported motorcars, bicycles,
moving-picture Alms, clocks, watches,
musical instruments, plate glass and
hats, also was put forward by Uie
Chnncellor.
SAYS PHTHISIS WILL YIELD.
j Death All But Eliminated In Ten
Years, Says Doctor.
Philadelphia. Dr. Jefferson D. Gib
son, of Denver, Col., president of the
American Association of Clinical Re
search, declared In an address at tho
Hahnemann Medical College here that
within 10 years medical science would
probably have succeeded in all but
eliminating denth from tuberculosis
from vital statistics.
Dr. Gibson, whose address opened
the seventh annual meeting of the as
sociation, said that recent discoveries
by which the jvvsence of tubercular
tendencies can be detected even be
fore the germs appear In the sputum,
torether with a later and higher de
velopment of the X-ray, will In a short
time remove tuberculosis from the list
of necessarily fatal diseases.

FIGHT TO KEEP ROAD OPEN
Campaign On Big Scale In Progress.
Bandits Demand $2,000 Ransom
For American A. B. C.
Protocol.
Washington. General Carranza now
has moved all the departments of his
Government from Vera Crux to Mexico
City and again is preparing to go to
the capital himself, according to offi
cial Information. The Ministers of
Foreign Affairs and War were the last
to leave.
Dispatches to the State Department
also Indicate that Carranza's move
ment to crush Villa and his allies Is
being conducted on a big scale.
While Obregon Is advancing to meet
Villa and Maytorena, who are affect
ing a consolidation near Santa Bar
bara, Carranza has begun a campaign
against Zapata In the south. The only
Indication of success on the part of
ilia Is a message from ("apt Slier
bourne Hopkins, counsel for the Villi
stas, who Is now In EI Paso. He wired
the agency here that Villa had cap
tured Zacatccas, an important railroad
centre and capital of the State of the
same name.
That conditions are unsatisfactory
In the terrrltory Villa claims to con
trol was shown by the reported failure
of American consuls to obtain the re
lease of E. P. Fuller, an American
ranch owner, captured by bandits
south of Juarez. Mrs. Fuller advl-ed
the department from El Paso that a
man named McCabe, who was kid
napped at the same time, has been
released in order to carry a demand
for $2,000 gold as a ransom for Fuller,
whoso life is threatened In the event
It is not given. The department has
sent an urgent demand to Villa per
sonally to rescue Fuller.
In an official communication to the
Secretary of State Enrique Llorente,
representative In Washington of the
Vllllstas, notified the American Gov
ernment that any pledge Carranza
might make concerning the payment
of the claims of foreigners would bo
Illegal and could not be recognized.
He points out that only the Mexican
Congress has jurisdiction over such
matters and that it has not been In
session for a long time. ,
"Any obligation, even though of a
moral nature, entered Into by Mr. Car
ranza, who lacks authorization to rep
resent the country, even In the capa
city of simple executive, would lack
validity," said Mr. Llorente.
Will Stand By A. B. C. Protocol.
The department has been advised
Informally, that Carranza will stand
upon the terms of the protocol signed
by the representatives of the A. B. C.
powers at Niagara Falls In 1914. Under
that document the powers signing It
agreed to recognize a government
established In Mexico aa the result
of tho decision of the Mexican people
themselves, nnd that the only thing re
quired of that government by the other
powers should be the guarantee of
the protection of foreign lives' and
property and the creation of a com
mission to settle all claims for dam
ages sustained by foreigners during
the four years of revolution.
In Carranza's Interest It is pointed
out that under this protocol the
United StateR Is bound to recognize
his government if these conditions are
complied with.
The Latln-Americnn governments
have taken the position that the Car
ranzlstas have established a de facto
government that-should be recognized,
but they will not extend their recogni
tion until after the United States has
acted.
PENSION ROLL8 DECREASE.
Nearly 10 Per Cent. Of Union Vet
erans Die In Year.
Washington, Death decreased the
government's Civil War pension roll

sioners, during the year totaled $156,
688,771, compared with $172,417,546 In
1914. Available records of the Pen
sion Olflce show the total death toll
since the close of the war has been
1,816,995. In that period the Federal
Government has paid to veterans, their
