GERMANS LOSE IN THE WEST
Strong Salient in Champagne Is Cap-
tured by French, Clearing Ground
tor New Offensive.
London While the Austro-German
nncl Unitarian campaigns in northern
and eastern Serbia are being carried
out according to the plan, despite
fierce Serbian resistance, and the Bul-
gars, who crossed the Tlmok, and hold
the town of Prahovo aro separated
from the Germans, who crossed the
Danube near Orsova, by only a few
miles in the south, things are not go-
ing o well for the invaders. In tho
Litt» i region the French troops have
joined hands with the Serbs, and,
according to French accounts have
inflicted a severe defeat on the Bulga-
rians at Krivoluk, 40 miles north of
the point where the Saloniki-Nlsh
railway crosses the Serbo-Greek fron-
tier.
This success places the Bulgarians,
who reached Istlp, Voles and ITskup,
in rather an awkward position, for a
further advance of the allied army
would seriously threaten their flank.
In fact, unofficial reports state that
the advance of the French, who aro
being closely followed by the British,
Bias already caused the retirement of
the Bulgurs toward Strumitsa.
The first desire of the Oemnns, how-
ever, is to open n route through north-
eastern Serbia and Bulgaria to Tur-
key, and this is on the eve of being
accomplished.
Clearing Way for Advance.
The Italians by their offensive nre
compelling (he Austrians to strength-
en their lines, and the capture by tho
French of a strongly fortified salient
north of Le Mesnll in Champagne has
ehown that they have not yet finished
their efforts to break through. The
Drench success is considered import-
ant because tho capture of I his fort!
fled area clears the ground for another
general offensive in Champagne.
• For tho same reason the British aro
trying to force the Germans out of
their redoubts and from the slag
heaps to the south of La Basse These,
however, are only preparatory opera-
tions. while Italians aro in the midst
of a great offensive, which has already
gained for them many valuable van-
tage points, and, acordlng to Rome
dispatches, may any dny place them

RUSSIANS GAIN IN GALICIA

Places by Italians in Big Offen-
sive in Tyrol.
London.—Greece has declined for
the present the allies’ offer of Cyprus
and other concessions, territorial and
financial, in return for her adherence
to the Serbo-Greek treaty of alliance,
which would mean her military aid
to assist in meeting the Bulgarian and
Austro-German attack against her
former ally.
The reply of Greece to the offer Is
a lengthy one, and while It has not
been made public, there Is reason to
believe that tlm Hellenic kingdom
bases its decision not to join the al-
lies on the ground that the Anglo-
French force landed at Saloniki is
not, In the (In < k governments opin-
ion, strong i nough for the task al-
loted to it.
Refusal Not Unexpected.
The refu al to accept the allies'
offer was not. unexpected, as it has
often been stated in official circle:
that both Roumania and Greece were
withholding their assistance until the
allies e. tier won a decisive victory
or provi d to the Greeks and Rou-
manian , lheir ability to do so, or un-
til tin' operations had reached a stage
which would assure them that their
.countries would not be overrun by
I the forces of the central powers or
tho Turkish or Balkan allies.
Russians Make Gains in Galicia.
Further Russian successes on the
Aouthern part of the front were un
nounced Friday by the war office.
It is stated that several Austro-Ger-
man positions and more than 7,500
men have been captured. The an-
nouncement follows:
"By an energetic surprise attack
near Novo Olexlnetz, 20 miles north
j of Tarnopol (Eastern Galicia), we
captured portions of the enemies po-
j sitions.
'■Similarly wo seized part of tho
enemy’s positions east of Lopousch-
no, which is north of Novo Olexlnetz.
In the course of the day we made
prisoners, in these combats, 118 offi-
cers and about 7,500 soldiers. We
captured two howitzers and numer-
ous machine guns."
Austrian Linen Give Way,
Rome An official statement Is-
sued by the Italian war office says
‘‘the offensive successfully begun in
the Tyrol and Trentino has been ex-
tended all along the line to the sea.
Many Austrian positions have been
taken.”
The statement adds:
"On the Carso tho enemy's lines
have been broken at several points
and the enemy's forces annihilated
j Twentvflve officers and 1.1S4 men
have been made prisoners.”

Washington.—President Wilson has
Issued simultaneously a proclamation
establishing an embargo on the ship-

The proclamation makes it clear

those of General Villa, shall obtain
The firing lasted about five minutes
and probably 100 shots were fired.
Private Moore probably will not sur-
vive his wound. No Mexicans were
killed so far as known.
Troops were thrown out in the dis-
trict in fan shape. Lieut. H. B. John-
son, with Troop B, Third cavalry, sta-
tioned at Villanueva, four miles from
this city, and Lieut. T. R. Van Natta,
with a troop of the Sixth cavalry, sta-
tioned 12 miles from Brownsville,
both drew in toward the point known
to be Hie crossing place of tho .Mexi-
can bandits after the train wreck.
The plans of the Mexicans arc be-
lieved to have miscarried, as they
probably intended to suround the in-
fantry detachment and deliver a sur-
prise attack. This was prevented by
the vigilant^ of the soldiers, who saw-
five men crossing tho raiLoad track.
Reports l'rcrn the scene say there

The men rallied as best they could
and gave the attackers a tight that

Reinforcements Sent—Bandits Scatter
The first intimation of the attack
was phoned to the local post by a
merchant of Penitas, a town three
miles west of the place where tne
attack occurrred.
Captain McCoy of the local post
got his troops in motion and was off
to the scene at double time. With
the arrival of fresh troops, the ban-
dits retreated. Every man, 15 In all,
is of (he same opinion as to the num-
ber in the attacking force, and it is
reasonably certain that 100 bandits
