PETROGRAD. via London. .Nov. 1.
Professor Pilenko, of the chair of inter
national law in Petrograd University
and of the aristocratic Alexander Ly
ceum of Law, in an article in the Novoe
Vremya today subjects the diplomacy
of .the entente allies in the Balkans to
severe criticism.
Altogether, says Professor Pilenko, the
situation has grown worse during the
past 14 months. Turkey at first pre
tended to bs neutral and the Russian
government accepted her assurances.
The writer declares that an examina
tion of the. Russian orange book; re
veals inexplicable blindness to the
actual facts. It is full of complaints
of Turkish duplicity, but fails to regis
ter a single dispatch before the out
break o the Russo-Turkish War that
war was admitted to be Inevitable.
A year ago, says Professor Pilenko,
Roumania offered conditions for her
adhesion to the cause of the entente
allies, but these conditions were re
jected. Professor Pilenko says be
wonders If they would be rejected now.
As to Greece, Professor Pilenko
sharply observes that the entente allies
could have landed at Salonikl a year
ago as easily as now, and says the
situation would have been altogether
different If they had done so.

REPUBLIC'S END INDICATED
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 1. What ap
peared to be a general attack on Agua
Prieta began at 6:40 o'clock tonight,
when the Villa forces began a heavy
tiring from all sides and advanced on
the town.
The tiring ceased when the Villa
troops had reached fpie wire entangle
ments on the east sfde of Agua Prieta
and began to dig trenches.
Cheers Accompany Shots.
Meanwhile the Carranza garrison
was sweeping from all sides of the
town with rifles and machine grun vol
leys, guldedby searchlights. Although
it is believed the volleys went over the
heads of the Villa forces, cheers rang
out in the Carranza trenches as every
volley was tired.
General Villa delivered his long-expected
attack on tbe Carranza garri
son of Agua Prieta late today and
within two hours -arfter fhetirst gun
.was fired machine gun bullets and
shell fragments showered over Ameri
can territory, seriously wounding Louis
l' Taylor, a restaurant waiter, and en
dangering scores of American soldiers
in trenches south of the United States
Army camp two miles east of Douglas.
Bullets Fly Anionic Civilians.
Taylor was shot down In front of
the United States custom-house, where
more than 70 machine gun bullets sped
among a throng of soldiers and Mex
ican women and children who were
coming across the line. The bullet
struck him in the middle of the back
as he turned to run to cover, and his
spine was seriously injured, paralyzing
him almost completely. Shells and
fragments of shells fell near Douglas
slaughterhouse.
General Thomas F. Davis, command
ing the 6000 American troops on duty
at the border, promptly warned the
commanders of both Mexican factions
to change the direction of their fire.
and citizens on the American side were
not endangered thereafter.
Nightfall Brtna-a Lull.
Nightfall brought a lull In the com
bat, but Villa artillery, tiring successive
salvos, played on the defenses of the
Mexican town, with the apparent in
tention of shattering the barbed-wire
entanglements, and exploding the
trenches preparatory to a rush on the
garrison of General Calles.
Three houses on the west side of
Agua Prieta were blown up by shells.
and, according to Carranza reports, on
man was killed and eight other per
sons wounded, including one woman.
One of Villa's wounded was? brought
to Douglas for treatment. Two others
were seen to fall when a shrapnel shell
burst over them. What further losses
he sustained among his men could nst
be ascertained. A shell burst on one
of his Meld pieces, however, putting
the gun out of action.
Americans Diss no Villa Men.
General Calles began exploding mines
to the eastward at S o'clock tonight.
With four Fhells and a brief dis
charge of rapid firers. Villa forces drew
n new fusillade from the Carranza
trenches at 9:53 and at 10 o'clock to
night. Calles reported his losses today at 2
killed and 2 4 wounded. He claimed the
dash of the Villa troops to the Agua
1'rleta barbed-wire entanglements had
been repulsed with a loss of at least
200 to the Villa troops.
American border guards reported
that a party of Villa troops caught on
the American side had been disarmed.
This was unconfirmed at Bridge
headquarters.
A heavy provost guard, however, was
closely watching a large number of
Mexicans on the American side. Hun
dreds of women and children refugees
from Agua Prieta are-suffering here
from hunger and cold tonight, for pro
visions promised by General Calle:
have not yet arrived.
Spectators Throne Housetops.
Despite warning and advice of United
States military officers, the roofs ' of
Douglas houses and. the streets open
tng on the border line were thronged.
Four babies were born on two of the
troop trains which today brought re
inforcements to the Agua Prieta garrl
son via Eagle Pass and I .a re do. Two of
the babies were twins. The mothers
accompanied their husbands into the
trenches. .

INDEX OFJODAY'S NEWS
The -object of the national conven

work of the council or state, which has
been revising- the Chinese constitution.
As an afterthought, the central gov
eminent decided to submit the ques
tion of the re-establishment of the
monarchy. It Is expected that the work
of the local convention will be finished
by November 20. The national citizens
convention will meet at Pekln imme
diately to determine the fate of the
republic
The "Washington Government has de
elded to refrain from any action at this
stage and has so informed the diplo
matic representatives of Great Britain
Japan and Russia, who feared another
revolution ..in China as the result of
the overthrow of the republic.
Allies Communicate Separately.
An official account of the communi
cation recently made by the Japanese.
British and Russian diplomatic repre
sentatives, to the Chinese minister of
foreign affairs has just reached Wash
ington by cable. In substance the ac
count follows: .
"The representatives of England,
Japan and Russia made separate rep
resentations to the Chinese foreign
minister, pointing out that the procla
mation of a monarchy might lead to
disorders of the strong Kepuoiicau
party. They said that if disorder oc
curred foreign interests would inevita
bly suffer, especially the missionary In
terests, and consequently they hoped
that while the European war lasted no
change would be made in the name or
the title of the Chinese government.

San Francisco Collet-tor Says Ves.

of Qualified Crew Will Not
Be Allowed to Depart.
HE Germans have occupied Kragu-
tz, the arsenal town of Serbia,
while their Bulgarian allies are push-
g- their way through the mountains
to Nish, Serbia's war capital.
From all sides the Germans, Aus-
trlans and' Bulgarians are slowly clos
ing: in on the Serbian armies, the po
sition of which grows graver daily.
They are fighting fiercely, however, to
save their country and have inflicted j
such losses on Field Marshal von
Mackensen's forces that he has been
compelled to send for reinforcements
and leave the more' serious work, of
invading tbe east and southern part of
the country to the Bulgarians, who
have had more experience in mountain
warfare, such as the Serbians are
waslns.
1-rom the junction of the Danube and
Timok rivers in the northeast, to Us
kup in the south, the Bulgarians are
moving westward, driving tbe Serbians
out of the towns, into the mountains,
but from Uskup southward they have
been checked, as the Serbians in that
territory have been reinforced by the
French and British with modern guns
and with gunners who gained valu
able experience In France and Gal-
lipolt. .
Beyond the forces landed at Saloniki,
which German estimate places at 70,
000 men, there is no- news of further
assistance being rent by the allies to
Serbia.

BOND ISSUE IS SUGGESTED
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1. (Special.)
Only 45 out of a total of more than
000 American seamen in this port
who- come under the strict require
ments of the La. Follette seaman's act
had qualified before the local Federal
steamship inspectors up to the closing
or o trice hours tonight.
Unless an order comes from Wash
ington setting aside the letter of the
law. and. making it flexible in many
respects, San Francisco shipping In
terests fear that vessels scheduled to
depart on the day the law goes into
effect will be held in port for want
of clearance at the Custom-House.
Snips Be Held t'v.
Collector of Customs J. O. Davis said
yesterday that no vessel which did not
have 40 per cent of Its crew list quail
fled under the new law would receive
clearance papers."
San Francisco shipping men yester
day manifested a "pertinent interest In
the new law in that it possibly meant
the holding up of vessels at a large
pecuniary loss because seamen could
not qualify for service.
While more than 350 able seamen
had qualified bef ore .the local inspectors
yesterday as to profession examina
tion, the stickler came in passing the
physical examination before the medi
cal examiners in the United States
Marine Hospital. ......
'r-lKr Ships Have .UvasUgc
fahlppmg men who foresee the
pecuniary loss that will follow to them
unless the seamen's law is in a large
measure suspended kept the wires hot
with the Department of Commerce in
Washington today. ' It was reasoned
that if their vessels were not permitted
to clear because of their inability to
secure at least 40 per cent of the
crew as able seamen, many American
vessels both deep sea and coastwise
would be unable to clear out of this
port for an indefinite time, while
foreign ships, over which the new law
has no jurisdiction, would come and
go as usual.
Supervising Inspector of Steamships
John K. Bulger, who returned from the
East today, admitted that his depart
ment was up against an unusual situa
tion and that they would do the best
they could under the circumstances.
In his office it was admitted that the
Department of Commerce had apparent-
- Russian transports have been re
ported off Varna, but the report lacks
confirmation. There is, however, evl
dence- In dispatches from Bucharest
that the people of Roumania at least
desire Intervention and that pressure
is being brought on the King and Cabl
net to induce them to Join the allies
and permit a Russian force to pass
through Roumanian territory to at-
tack Bulgaria from the east. Greece
continues her friendly neutrality.
The Germans, having failed in two
months of almost incessant attacks to
reach Riga and Dvinsk . by various
routes, are now trying along the rail
way which skirts tbe shores of the Gulf
of Riga from Tukum and have, accord
ing to their reports, reached a point
west of Schlok-. ..This is only 'a slight
advance, and much low ground over
which it is difficult to move lies be
tween them and their objective.
In' tbe. Dvlnsk sector both to the
west and southwest' of that city, the
Russians have begun an offensive, ap
parently In anticipation of renewed at-
tacks by the Germans and they are also
on the move 'in the lake -district east of
the Dvinsk-Vilna Railway and in Vol
hynla and Galicia. The result of these
various battles has" not been disclosed,
if, indeed, they are concluded. Those at
the southern end of the line are doubt
less designed to prevent the German
and Austrians from sending reinforce
ments to Serbia'.
In ' France the battle for the Butte
De Tahure which the Germans recap
tured from the French is still in prog
ress without changing the positions o
the two armies. There has been som
fighting at other points in the west.
Whayt the attacks on this front h
cost is shown by a. report issued by
Field Marshal Sir John French. He say
that the published lists of the German
casualties disclose that seven German
battalions which took part in the Loos
fighting, presumably a German counte
attack, lost 80 per cent of their strength.

Sl'embers of Advisory Conunitte
Protest Against Kxtravagance
In Vocational Training and
Assumption of Paternalism.
Approximately $546,000 was slashed
from the proposed school budget yes
terday when the members of the Board
and the members of the committer
from the Taxpayers' League assembled
at School Board headquarters to 'con
sider the 191S school budget. A little
more than one-third of the items in
the budget were considered, and it
will be necessary to have at least one
more joint meeting before the budget
passes muster.
The greatest cutting was done in the
matter of new buildings and the pur
chase of new grounds. Only two . of
the schools that were listed for new
buildings in the tentative schedule es
caped the knife of the joint committee.
These were Franklin High and Benson
Polytechnic. The appropriation for
Terwilliger, listed at $30,000. was cut
to $16,000, and the other districts of
the city that were clamoring for new
buildings, Nicholson (now Hawthorne),
Hoffman and East St. Johns), we.-
eliminated, thereby saving for the dis
trict a total of. $349,000. Capitol liiU
that for'" the past' three years has
housed Its school children In portables
was allowed an appropriation of $10,
000 for a new building. -Tills figure
was not included In the original bud
get, compiled by the School Clerk.
G round A I lews aces Pruned.
. Eighty-one thousand dollars was
struck from the proposed figures in tha
purchase of new school grounds. Eliot,
with $40,000; Holman, with $16,000. anJ
Woodstock, with $10,000. were trie only
appropriations made for the purchase
of school property.
The biggest item under the head of
"betterments" to receive the ax was
the -purchase of vacuum cleaners for
the schools of the district. Thirty-five
thousand dollars was the figure listed
as the purchase price.
When the members of the Taxpayers'
League, Leo Friede. Dr.' A. J. Giesy and
C. H. Labbe, who represented that or
ganization in the meeting yesterday,
convened with the School Board, posi
tive opinions were voiced as to the ex
cess to which the district was going
in the matter of the provision of voca
tional training.
Paternalism" Is Criticised.
"Where is the limit of all the good
things that we are going to j?ive the
(public?" protested Leo Friede. one of
the members of the committee. He de
clared that from an education al stand
point the Board was right in appro
priating so much money for expendi
ture on sewing and cooking courses,
but from an economic view it was not
proper that the district Bhould provide
for so much of the education that
should be the product of home train
ing. "It seems to me that we are get
ting too paternalistic when we teach
everyone who wants to learn to cook
and sew," he declared.
IJr. A. J. Giesy, another member-of
the committee, was also emphatic in-his
assertions that. the school district w.is
providing the education easily that
should come from home and should be
gained, with somo difficulty attached
to its attainment. "We must not lose
sight of the fact that when effort is
eliminated success is proportionately
decreased," said Dr. Giesy.
M r. Loclmood Opposes Cot.
S. P. Lockwood, a member of the
Board, thought that although it was
evident too much of the burden of edu
cation along domestic tin was lel't
to the school district, he did not beJ
lleve it would be advisable to make any
substantial cut - In the appropriations
for the continuance of domestic science
work.
Mr. Friede asked if it would be ad
visable to concentrate all that in one
center to minimize. the expense. There
are now . 16 fully equipped schools
where domestic science and sewinffare
taught and 'four demonstration centers.
There are 63 schools in the district.
The members of the Board and the
committee from the Taxpayers' League '
will go this morning to the grounds of
the proposed Benson Polytechnic to
make a better estimate of the amount
needed for the improvement there.
Bend Issve Suggested.
One item in the budget that some .
of the committeemen and Board mem
bers wish to cover by a bond issue, so
left for further consideration, was the
Item listed "streets, sidewalks and
sewers." This amounted to $3$, 465. It
is the opinion of tie school clerk that
a bond Issue to- cover that amount
would be inadvisable, as the time for
expenditure is so uncertain, so the fate
of that item remains unsettled. ,
Another item not included in the
proposed figures was one for $3000 al
