MOBILIZATION OHD
BY CONSTANTINE TODAY
Creek Parliament Called To Meet Wednesday to Vote War
Credit-Balkan Prize Is Raady For the Match, Bulgaria
Still Remaining the Center of Interest One Million
Austro-Germans Massed For Drive Through Serbia to
Turkey
Athens, Sept. -4. Iuug Consta ntine today signed a decree for gen
eral mobilization of the Greek land forces. Purliameut was summoned
to meet Wednesday for a vote on m ilitary measures.
Washington, Sept. 24. Antieipa ting receipt of the Greek mobiliza
tion decree at any moment, the Greek embassy today prepared to noti
fy consuls everywhere throughout t ho country regarding sending re
servists home.
London, Sept. 24. jtie censor's veil !
of secrecy was drawn closely over the
Balkan situation today. Scarcely a hint
of the doings behind this impenetrable
curtain reached London over night. But
the belief grew that when the curtain
is lifted Czar Ferdinand will be dis
covered heading the Bulgarians and
ready to strike in war.
The Balkan fuse appeared to bo sit
for only a touch of the match. Greece
was reported early voflay to have de
cided upon mobilization, while Bulgaria
was known to have ordered 28 classes
ready for quick action. In addition to
these moves, Austria and Germany are
reported to have massed nearly 1,000,
000 men for a drive through Serbia to
Turkey, probably withdrawing some of
them from the Russian struggle for this
move.
The allied press has fully awakened
to the gravity of the situation, retro-'
Lrad papors express uo surupriso at the
Bulgarian mobilization, though they re
garded the situation as "extremely se
rious." At the same time, Paris journ
als declared conditions are "grave."
The Bulgarian legation here had no
confirmation of account that its. govern
ment had suddenly withdrawn the or
der for mobilization. The rumor, how
over, increased Loudon's' perplexity as
to Czar Ferdinand's purpose.
If reports from Athens concerning
"Bulgaria's massing of males from 18
to 45 years of ago be true, then Lon
don has uo doubts of Bulgaria's inten
tions, for, it was pointed out, no such
force is needed, as Bulgaria has said,
"to preserve her neutrality."
Political leaders were reported to
have pledged unanimous support to any
course Czar Ferdinand determines. A
minority of the diplomats here were
, nor.ty or - '
etill hopeful of tho outcome, and said
tins declaration might mean the leaders
had learned Bulgaria favored the al
lies, and hence, had withdrawn their
previous protests.
Paris, Sept. 24. Greece has decided
to mobilize, nccording to an Athens dis
patch today.
The decision was said to have been
reached by the Greek cabinet iu its ses
sion yesterday but the dispatch did not
Htate when the mobilization decree
would be promulgated.
London, Sept. 24. King Constantine,
f Greece,, has promulgated a decree
mobilizing 20 Greek divisions, according
to a dispatch today from Athens.
Rome, Sept. 24. Greek reservists in
rtnly were today recalled to the col
ors. French Shells Smash Works.

and Argonne regions trenches, blocks
houses and encampucuts have been
wrecked during the past 24 hours.
Another euormous artillery battle has
occurred about Uoyes and Queunevires.
There the. Teutons hurled their asphyx
iating gas shells without result against
the French who were protected by re
spirutiors. Near Brestencourt, a strong German
patrol made a daring attempt to storm
an advanced French iisttion, but were
driven off with heavy casualties.
Infantry battling iu the Dardanelles
region lias undergone a lull for a few
weeks, the offienl statement added.
"The Turkish artillery is capric
ious," said the announcement. "Some
times they seem to lack ammunitions.
At other times they fire with maximum
rapidity, though with little damage. The
Turkish aeroplanes are most inactive,
while the allies are just the reverse."
Russians Report Victories.
Potrogrnd, Sept. 24. Brilliant vic
tories for the Slavs on both ends of
their front were claimed officially to
div. The Oermnns approaching the Dwinn
river, 27 miles southeast of Riga, were
heavily defeated by General Russky,
while General Ivanoff captured four
villages from the Austriuns, taking
1,500 prisoners.
A gigantic battle is developing west
and southwest of Dvinsk, with tho Ger
mans assaulting the Slav positions. Ger
man claims of success in that section
were not confirmed by the war office
today. This struggle, however, bids fair
to be very important because, of the
strategic value of Dvinsk.
In tho southeast, the Russians have
again taken the offensive, and arc driv-
in(f the Teutons westward on a 150 mile
i " t
Gorman Advance on Riga.
Berlin, via London, Sept. 24. Rose
and Strigge, 34 miles southeast of Riga
have been reenptured by German forces,
it was officially announced today.
Bavarian forces under Prince Leopold
have broken the Russian resistance
along a wide front, it was also claimed.
It was officially admitted that Field
Marshal Von Mnckensen had retreated
behind the Oginski canal, temporarily,
abandoning attempts to reach the Vil-na-Rovno
railway. The Russian forces
are attempting to envelop the flanks of
Mnckensen s army.
Russians, it was admitted, captured
several German cannon in the battle
around Dvinsk. Germans engaged In
counter ntlacks northeast or smielin
took 1000 prisoners.
Field Marshal' Von Hindenburg has
crossed the Soly-Traby-Novo Grodek

Concerning the western front, the
statement said that the British at

lias been shattered.

said to be vexatious.

TO RETIRE
The effort to obtain a new premier
has lost ground lately because of Lloyd
George's decreasing popularity. He bad
liii auirirested as the antl-Asuuith can-
J di.intc, but his growing dislavor has
: lessened tuik oi inns riimniiK
This view has been strengthened by
the fact that he linn been unable to or
ganize munition production to the max
imiiiii. while his restless temperament
has caused England to suspect that he
docs not have the kind of executive
ability that she wants. His former
control over the workingmeu is weak
ening. Apparently his accusations ui
to drunkenness agninsi luem ana m sou-
1 demnat.on or union rules s noi rensneo

of
,lovd George's falling availability,
it Is improbable that Crest Itritain will

present.

PRESIDENT WiiiSON
MIXES WITH CROWD
Washington, Sept. 24. Presi
dent Wilson today rttd what he
has often said he would like to
do get out and rub elbows with
the crowds, leaving the White
House car in the garage, he
took a . brisk walk through
Washington's busiest streets,
bought some golt nails and re- -turned
to the White House after
dodging trolley cars, automo
biles and pedestriuns. He might,
have been merely an attache of
the executive mansion, as far as
publicity wus concerned, for he
threaded hit' way through the
crowds scarcely noticed.'
His trip had one thrill at
least for his secret service
guards, if not for the executive
when he stepped in front of a
trolley car, just as the conductor
gave two bells to start up. The
president, however, maneuvered
quickly as he heard the gong,
and jumped out of harm's way
just as the car started.

WARLIKE DRIFT
OF BALKANS If I
DRAVVSATTENTION
Great Strides Are Being Made
Toward Hostilities Greeks
Want War
By Ed L. Keen.
(United Pross Staff Correspondent.)
London, Sept. 24 The lialknns made
rapid strides todav toward war.
Greece answered the Bulgarian call
to arms by ordering general mobiliza
tion of her hind forces.
An ultimatum tumbling tho Balkans
into war may flash across the wires
before night. Kurope meantime is on
tip toe awaiting the first tinned clash
between these nations.
News from Athens that King Con
stantino had signed a general land mo
bilization order was received here with
greatest satisfaction. Greece intends
to stand by Serbia. TMb was tho only
interpretation that could be placed on
Constantino's order.
Albania is oxpected to follow tho ox-
ample of Greece, but Bucharest today
was strangeiv silent as to her plans.
Bulgaria is completing preparations
for war. Largo forces of workmen are
improving her defenses along the Sor
binn boundary.
Bulgarian vessels plying in the lllacK
sea are running into llulgarian ports.
Meantime mobilization is proceeding as
rapidlv as possible, according to Ath
ens, disposing of tho report that tho
order had been withdrawn.
Greek reservists in Italy wero pro
paring to embark for homo, following
orders recalling them to tho colors.
Greeks Shout for War.
Athens, Sept. 24. With Hulgurin mo
bilizing tho classes from 1H!M) to 1H12,
the (liuok cabinet nt first decided to
mobilize only the classes from .181)3 to
11111, but later at a conference in the
wnr office early today, the general
mohilrntiou plan 'was decided,
(treat crowds cheered Premier Ven
izeloH on his way to obtain the king's
signaturo to the general order.
The government is expected to take
over tho railways Immediately, iu con
nection with the mobilization.
(lovcrnmunt organs declared that
Greece must support Serbia in ense of
a llulgarian attack, or else heroine n
second rate Balkan power. They point
ed out though, that success of an alli
ance betwoen Austria, Germany und
Iiulgarin would mean the eventual over
throw of Greece
Vonizoli.'s has summoned political
leaders for a conference tonight. This
session will probably ask parliament
for full authority to deal with Bul
garia unless tho latter backs down from
her apparently belligerent position be
fore Wednesday. There was doubt that
this action would be a preliminary to
war.
An official note explaining reasons
for tho mobilization decree said it was
the only um.wor to the llulgarian tittl
tude aiid added that the step was tak
en "for defensive purposes."
Bulgaria Still Neutral.
Washington, Sept. 24. If sontimonts
expressed by the Ilulgarinn embassy todav-
accord with Sofia's ideas, the Bul
garian mobilization is simply a club to
be used in a final effort to force the
allies to persuade Serbia nnd Greece to
cede her Macedonia. (IPficinls said it
lid not Indicate thet Bulgaria is about
to join the Teutons.
News Is Conferred.
Washington, Sept. 24. The Greek
legation this afternoon received word
from Athens that mobilization orders
had been Issued there.

Kilna Turner, nged 40, a drcssmnKcr,
leaped from a fourth story window of
the Fliediier building, a distance of
sixty feet today nnd was probably fu-
tnllv injured. Physicians do not oe-
lieve she cun live. Her right arm was
shuttered, several ribs were broken and
she sustained internal injuries.
The note lett by Miss Turner was
somewhat incoherent, indicuting that
she was mentally unbalanced. '
The window from which MisB Turner

Market Is Broadened
and Moves Upward
(Copyright 11)15 by the New York
Evening Post.)
New York, Sept. .24. Although still
evidently under the sway ot specula-
tivo excitement especially among tha
outside public, tho market toduy broad
ened the scope of its activity and
moved quit't uniformly upward. In thn
forenoon, the movement wus mainly
confined tr Industrial shares, which re
covered violently fiom yesterday s re
action. Iu the afternoon, however, rail
ways as a whole, joined the movement.
Advunces ot one and two points wur
general, oven in stocks which tor a
week had hurdly stilled and in the final
trading the market reuched its great
est activity, with ruilways lending.
On the whole, the days movement
was governed equally by the excited en
thusiasm of the speculating public and
the operations of professionals who are
maneuvering to keen the public in a
state of undiminished excitement.
Other markets, having a tick ring on
the general financial situution, did uo
show much change.
Cotton was higher and speculation
in that commodity developed the most
extraordinary characteristics. Foreign
exchange moved unimportantly.
Wheat exports for the week, report
ed by the Bradstrects, were the largest
ever for the period.
They were nearly 1,000,000 bushels
