Petrograd Claims Russian Offensive Is Sweeping German
Invaders Back TO Heavy Losses Many Prisoners
and Guns CapturedGreece On War Fooling and
Populace Clamour For Acdon French Official Report
of Western Fighting
I'etrograd, Sept. 25. Re-capture of
t'insk and Dubnojfortress by the Rus
iiiuiis was predicted officially today.
With the Russinns making new gains in
(lie face of the German assaults, and
Field Marshal Von Mackensen hard !
pressed about Pinsk, this may result ut
iu early moment.
Von Mackensen 's left wing retired
five miles under Russian pressure, while
the Slavs Tetook Logishiu. Iu this
struggle, the Russians sabred the Teu
tonic gunners and capture some of
tlieir artillery. At the same time they
inflicted heavy losses on the Germans
est of Logishin.
Meantime Von Jvackenseu 's right
wing is floundering In the marshes to
the south of Pinsk. The Russians
crossed tho Jussi river a few miles
cast of l'insk. Them e Germans suf
fered severe reverses and were forced
to abandon many guns.
The Austrian forces in the Volhyuian
triangle have been unable to stop the
Slav onrush. Recapture of Lutsk with
"apture of 4,000 Teucous was of final
ly confirmed today. The enemy is head
ing toward Dubno which cannot be de
fended from the north.
Concerning the l.utsk operations, the
official statement sma:
"Operations of our troops in the
Lutsk region were partly, successful.
Wednesday night they attacked and
carried enemy positions near the vil
lages of Liporetz and Neboshka, north
of Lutsk, capturing according to a
preliminary estimate, 80 officers and
4,000 men , with macniiie guns, field
kitchens and transports.
"Thursday morning Lutsk was in our
hands. The evening of the same day our
troops captured the villages of I'odga
itzy and Kroupy. Many Magyars were
killed in a bayonet action."
'Battles for Dvinsk and along the
.Dwina continue unabated. Russians
nre maintaining their positions despite
' heavy attacks.
In many places about Dvinsk, said
the statement, the Germans are employ
ing "gusts of fire," and makiug "fu
rious attacks."
Capture of Strigge, claimed by Ber
lin, was denied in the last official
elntement.
Everywhere is manifest a growing
iilrength on the part of the hitherto
denten Slavs, while the Teutons, former
ly dashing forward almost unhindered,
are now on the defensive in several
i mints and are making but slight pro
gress in others.
Greeks Clamor for War.
Athens, Sept. 25. Greece is fired
with the war spirit. Crowds surged in
parade through the streets last night
mi demonstrations favoring an early
war move, while automobiles hurried
past, carrying officers responding to the
king's general land force mobilization
lecree.
Crowds gathered before the allies le
nations in an outburst of enthusiasm.
Bulgarians and Turks, however, went
unmolested.
The war office was busy throughout
the night. Minister of War Daniels con
ferred at length with Premier Venize
los over the threatening crisis. As he
made his way into the war offices,
Venizelos, pro-wnr advocate, was greet
ed with cheers by the thousands massed
outside.

their comment on the lightning-like de

they expressed the hope that the mobili
zation move does not mean Bulgaria
intends to start a third' Balkan war.
They informed the people, however,
that the ministry docs not intend at
present to plunge Greece into a bloody
struggle, but declate that body de
serves the entire nation's support iu
resisting Bulgaria's attempt to upset
the peace of the Balkan states.
Mobilization will be well advanced
when parliament meets Wednesday. It
is believed that Bulgaria's intentions
will be" disclosed by then. Even if
they are not, however, the government
will ask that it be granted full powers
to proceed with military measures.
These will include taking over trans
portation systems for carrying troops
and supplies.

Heavy Buying of Stocks
Causes General Advance
(Copyright 1315 by the New York
Evening Post.)
New York, Sept. 25. Exceptionally
heavy buying' in the market today,
which converged about railway shares,
represented a spreading out of both
professional and outside speculation.
Apparently this was the case with the
highly stimulated speculative appetite
which was successfully directed toward
ktandard stocks, when simulation in
"war " shares seemed to be growing in
secure.
Tiie advances in the railway stocks
were not all particularly striking, but
they were largest in some of the high
est urade issues Pennsylvania, for in
stance, which for months had remained
motionless, rising nearly three )oints.
But the salient feature of today's
hnainesH was the irreat volume of trad
ing, which, for the market a a whole,
made the most active Saturday since
May. The market closed arotil the
highest prices for railway shares, but
industrial stocks hung back. From some
points OI view mis inversion ui u
lutive interest from industrials, whose
actual earning power is conjectural to
railways, whose status is perfectly well
known, was a grntitylng change.

I.W.W.AGITATOnS
James McGill Confesses and
Promises To Tell All He
Knows
Watsonville, Cnl., Sept. 25. New sen
sational disclosures involving some higher-ups
of the I. W. W. in California and
Oregon and an exposure of the alleged
plans of the organization to terrorize,
central California were promised today
by James McGill, self confessed incendi
ary, before officers were to take him fo
Stockton.
McGill confided to a Stockton under
sheriff that he will tell everything he
knows about the I. W. W. and will clear
the way for the eapture.of his two part
ners, Charles Anderson and Tony Wil
liams. McGill will enter a plea of guilty in
the San Joaquin county superior court
to the charge of having burned a grain
warehouse near Lodi two weeks ago.
Ifis disclosures are expected to affect
leading spirits of the I. W. W. who are
working from the Portland headquar
ters. He stated in his confession that
he has had lit tin to do with the Cali
fornia J. W. W.s, but that Williams and
Anderson arc closely in touch with
them, tie gave the police a good
description of the two incendiaries.
Will Tell District Attorney.
Stockton, Cnl., Sept. 25. Immediately
following the arrival of Deputy Sheriff
Thompson, from WatHonville todav noon
lames McGill confessed I. W. W. fire
bug, in custody, he will be closeted with
District Attorney Foltz, Sheriff Riecks
and other officials and closely ques
tioned. Witihin the past six months there
have been no Ibbs than fifteen fires in
and about Stockton, which, the
sheriff's office states, have been at
tributed to phosporous. It is expected
that McGill may be able to shod some
light on the starting of those fires.
Last spring three big haystacks, each
containing 150 tons, were destroyed at
El Pinal, on tho property of George
West and sons. The stacks did not burn
simultaneously. While officers were
watching one of the stacks burn, fire
broke out in a third stack and the of
ficers recovered a. quantity of phos
phorous which had been secreted iu the
hay. The phosphorous is now being
kept in n bucket of water nt the
sheriff's office as evidence. ,' J
About two months ago a big bam on
the Crittenden place near Tracy was
burned, destroying 28 horses, a cow and
an automobile. The next night a big
barn on the Gordon place in thnt vicin-,
ity was also burned. It is notable that
large ranchers were the victims in
nearly all of these fires.
Improvements May Be
Suggested By Rockefeller
Pueblo, Colo., Sept. 25, Change
and improvements, if any, in conditions
among Rockefeller employes in Colo
rndo will be planned in a series or
conferences between John D. Rockefer-
ter, Jr. and officials of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company soon.
Rockefeller's "friendship compaign"
tiiig week among his men, counted on
to still the cry of absentee landlordism
was regarded today by the oil king as
having been most successful. He
claimed that conditions were better
than in his competitors camps.
Important conferences over condi
tions will be held in Denver next.
Rockefeller's intimate sociological,
studies ended last night with his trip
through the steel plants here, and he
is now readv to take up with officials
questions of possible cnanges.
There was a possibility today that
Rockefeller would agree to see in Den
ver a commitfs from the Colorado Pus
tiee league which is trying to free the
miners' leader John R. Lawson, now
under sentence in connection with the
strike riots.
TONOALLA HAS BIO FIRE.
Yoncaln, Or., Sept. 25. A fire which
started at noon yesterday destroyed 3
warehouses situated on the east side of
the railroad track here. There was
stored in one warehouse about $3,500
worth of prune: One of the ware
houses was owneil by Stearns & Cheno
weth, and was used to store grain aud
aKricultural implements. Another was
owned by H. T. Westfall, and was used
bv tho Yoncalla Fruit Fiiion. The loss
will total at least $10,000. It was with
considerable difficulty that the H. I',
depot was saved.
ported off the southeast coast of Eng
Innd on Monday, the line offices stated
today. It was believed she carried a
cargo of grain from Argentine, with a
crew of about 50 and probably no pas
sengers. "
Inasmuch as the censor now does not
generally allow press cables to state
whether a vessel a as mined or sunk.
the London statement that she was
"sunk" was taken a meaning perhaps
she had been mined. "

Government
BORDER SITUATION IS
GROWING VERY SERIOUS
Twenty-Eight Mexicans Were
Killed and Wounded
In Fight
Brownsville, Texas, Sept. 25. Blame
for the Mexican attack upon American
soldiers at Progresso yesterday was
shifted today upon Csrrnnza's enemies
by the Carranzista consul here. He
declared that these enemies, fearing
that the United States is about to recog
nize Carranza, organized the attack in
order to make it appear that Carranza
soldiers were in reality making wnr
against the Amcrca troops on the
border.
Despite this statement, however, of
ficials were positive thnt regular Car
ranzista soldiers participated in the at
tack, and shielded fleeing Mexicans bv
a protecting fire from trenches across
tho river.
The situation hereabouts is Intense, as
a result of the Progresso trouble. While
there was no resumpon of tho battle
this morning, soldiers and citizens kept
constantly on guard lest there be a new
and more serious Outbreak. Mexicans
were barricaded in the customs house nt
tha Mv;on a ! Ac
bridgeand were protected by steel
plates inside.
Two Mexican womnn, dressed in sol
diera' uniforms were seen ninong the
group of guards on the Mexican side,
.Tumes McAllen and several employes
nt a ranch house nenr here were nt
tacked today by 13 Mexicans, but sue
cecded in killing two of the attacking
party and wounding three others. Sol
iders, summoned by telephone, drove off
the bandits.
McAllen had aid from an unexpected
quarter when a Mexican woman living
near the rnncli joined the beleaguered
ranchers, and fonght side by side with
them, in repulsing her countrymen.
Semi-offlciul reports said that the
Twenty-eighth infantry at Galveston
had been ordered here in view of the
Critical situation.
Twenty-eignt Mexicans were killed or
wounded iu the Progresso fight which
cost one American soldier's life and
injured another.
Three hundred American soldiers were
stationed today at Progresso including
Troops B, C. D und M of the Twelfth
cavalry and I of the Sixth cavalry.
These were scuttered at advantngeous
points, while a knot guarded the ap
proach across the Hio Grande. This
force, it was hoped, would have a salu
tary effect and prevent further incur
sions by the Mexicans.
General Nafarette, commander. of the
Carranzista forces at Matamoroa across
the river from here, denied that any of
his soldiers participated, aa he has re
cently ordered tliem not to become in
volved. Nevertheless, it is known that
his men did take a hand, either on their
own initiative or Upon orders from
headejuarters.
Authorities here were suBpicinus thnt
the latter idea was correct, particularly
because of a persistent report that just
before the trouble, a tralnload of Mexi
can soldiers left Matamoroa for the
trenches opposite Progresso.
Recognition May Not Come.
Washington, Sept. 25. Likelihood of
American recognition of Carranza as
Mexican provisional president lessened
today. A sharp turn of sentiment here
against him was evident. Unless events
are more fnvorulile for hlin, before the
next Pan-American eonference, it Is be
lieved the conferees will hesitate to
recognize him under existing conditions.
Attacks by men alleged to be Cur
ranza soldiers against American troops
in the Brownsville district was a big
factor in the changed attitude townrd
him. The war department has asked
General Funston to establish whether
Carranzistas participated, as is claimed.

TO THEIR ASSISTANCE
Tokio, Sept. 25. The allies were re
ported here today to be planning to ask
that Japan either send troops to the
Dardanelles to aid in a quick dash to
Constantinople,' or dispatch them to
Kussin to mako it impossible for Ger
many to divert troops from the Slav op

No official confirmation was obtain

comment in vie of the probable en

At any rate, it in knowu that the
allies will be refused if they mako the
requests. The government believes tnat
the difficulties of transportation are
insuperable, and, moreover, Japan is
not willing to risk her prestige in such
a venture.
Recently the allies were reported an

ing munitions, particularly tor Russia.
France at an earlier date, however,
sought armed assistance, and now other
countries nre reported planning to
