LAST OF BALKANS
READY FOR FIGHT
GREECE HAS ORDERED MOBILIZA
TION OF NAVAL AND MILI
TARY FORCES.
"ELEMENTARY PRUDENCE"
Greece Does Not Wait For Bulgaria tc
Make Decision. Ready For Any
Emergency.
London. As "a measure of element
ary prudence," Greece has ordered the
mobilization of her naval and military
forces. Thus the action on Bulgaria
in TTmlrinp' militarv rvro no rQ H rvn a Tiaa
brought the last remaining Balkan
State under arms, for Rumania, while
ntvfiiv hnii fr cHm we
had her troops ready forj an emerg-1
ency.
What plans Bulgaria really has In
mind and what Greece and Rumania'
will do when .these plans mature are
fctill Ttlflttdrs fn,r snomilaHnn One
thing seems clear, however. Bulgaria j
and Turkey for so many years worn
enemies, have imposed their differ-,
ences.
The successes which the ,Russian
General Ivaniff has been having In
Galicia and Volhynia, it is considered
in military circles here, may still have
an Influence in more than one way -in
the Balkans.
General Ivanoff has been so succeS'S
ful that German Field Marshal von
Mackensen, who is, fighting north of
the Pripet marshes, eastward "of Brest
LItOvsk, has, acording to the German
off! ciaf report,, been compelled to with
draw his line somewhat, as it was in
danger of being encircled, while the
Austrians have been driven ; back
across the Styr, apd, according to on
account, have evacuated the fortress
tsk' ,ia toiangle of
ing the great drive.-
These successes, which extend to
the Rumanian frontier, would, in the
opinion of military observers serve to
ease the situation on the Rumanian
flank should Rumania join Russia and
in addition might well prevent the
Austro-Germans from sending, . an
army, which it is estimated must con
sist of at least. 500,000 men, to make
an attack on Serbia.

Mexicans Attack Prog reso, Texas, and

Brownsville, Tex. Several hundred
Mexicans under shelter of a half mile

to 80 Mexicans wh oattacked the vil
lage of Progreso, Tex., 35 miles above

Reports said that at least four, and
probably more Mexican bandit$ were
killed. Two of the Mexicans were
killed on the American side, two while
crossing the river in boats and four
others are believed to have lost their
lives while scrambling up the banks of
the Rio Grande on the Mexican side.
About 1,000 shots fired by the Amer

crossing the Rio Grande killed two
Mexicans in boats, while several more
were reported hit as they made then
Way in the direction of safety on the
Mexicans side.
The Mexican band of 70 or 80 first
attacked and looted the More of Flor-

While these operations were in pro-

Progreso from the bank of the river

The French, who have the most im

their chief onset against the German
lines around Perthes, Beause jour and
Suippes in Champagne, where in De
cember they made a considerable
gain of ground, and also north of
Arras, where Souchez was stormed
and captured.
The French communication says the

ANOTHER BROADWAY CAVE-IN.
Three Injured When Street Sank Into
Subway. '
New York. One death and the in
jury of three other persons resulted
from the caving in of the street over
the new subway in Broadway near
28th street. An unidentified woman,
who was caught in the falling debris,
died later In a hospital. The others
injured were men. The police and
firemen continued thir search for
several workmen reported missing.
The accident occurred a few blocks
from the heart of the theatre district
shortly before 8 o'clock and Broad
way was crowded with people. . -
The weakening of supports in the
subway, due to weight of traffic, 1
believed to have caused the beanx9
and planking to collapse, making a
hole about 50 feet long, extending
about half way across Broadway. The
pit was about' 30 feet deep.
Two of the injured, a man and 1 a
woman were in an automobile that
was carried down into the hole. The
other person injured was believed to
be a workman.
