ANOTHER WAR.
The London Times Predicts One Between
Greece and Turkey.

London, June l2.-Another war be-
tween Greece and Turkey was foreshad-
owed yesterday by The Times. which
said unrest in the Balkans has become
acute. Several of the states, it says,
recently have been employed in clearing
their newly acquired territories of 'un-
desira BILE" elements and the Bulgarians
have been the principal sufferers.
The unrest is attributed by the news
paper to the drastic policy of the young
Turks in expelling all Greeks from Asia
Minor and Turkish Thraee. This policy,
The Times believes, is a prelude to a
declaration of war upon Greece, the main
object being the reconquest by Turkey
of Saloniki and the reoccupation OF
Macedonia.

SALUTE NO APOLOGY.
SAYS BERLIN PAPER
"Huerta Better Politician Than
President Wilson," Declares
the Gazette.

BERLIN, April 1.-THE United States
should be thankful that General Huerta
did not insist that the Americans salute
first" said the Berliner Gazette today,
in commenting on President Wilson's $
agreement to return the Mexican salute
in settling the Tampico incident
Senator Lodge was right" the Ga
Zette continued. when he declared that,
in the United States, firing a return sa-
lutte there was nothing but an exchange
of courtesieS and not an apology. Cen
eral Huerta has again shown himself to
be better politician than President
Wilson"
The German press generally considers
tho acceptance of Huerta's proposal that
the United States return mis- salute an
other success for the dictator.
LONDON, April 1.-THE British press
today generally expressed the opinion
that the returning of the salute to be
fired by General Huerta would be vir-
tual recognition of the Mexican dicta-
tor.
The Globe declares: "washington will
md it difficult to deny Huerta's right
TO be regarded as head Of the Mexican
government after American guns have
acknowledged him, but doubtless Presi-
dent Wilson feels that such a settle
ment is cheap even at that price"
The Westminster Gazette, the most in
fuenttal Hoeral paper, says:
we do not profess to be experts on
etiquette for apologetic
salutes, but We have no doubt that

today, but, Of course, he would not do
it. Speaking from a strict interpreta-
ton Of the Constitution, the line is 80
vague as almost to defy construction.
The President is the commander-in-
chief of the army and navy. As such
he can order them to do almost any
thing, and so far as expense goes, he
can not only spend all the money which
has been appropriated for the army
and navy by Congress. but may incur
a deficit
War, for instance. was never de-
clsred with Mexico before. President
Polk simply announced that a state OF
war existed. At that time Congress
was not in cess on, SO that he was,
without any doubt, entirely within his
legal rights, though there was some Bit
ter criticism. Daniel Webster once de-
clared that no person ever declared war
with Mexico. President Polk made IT.
II do not apprehend that President
Wilson or any other President would.
however, declare war at a time when
Congress was in sess on. He would not
want to take the responsibility, and he
would want the support Of Congress"

After six-hour engagement at Bena-
vides station, near San Pedro, the main
body Of federals evacuated that place
early Thursday, leaving 1000 troops in
the town to make a show of resistance,
fooling Villa into believing they still
were trying to hold the place and cover
the flight Of the main column.
The movement amounted to a sacrifice
of the 1000 men composing the rear
guard. as 700 of them were killed In the
attack yesterday, when General Villa
ordered his entire force Of 20.oOO rebels
to close in. The other 800 were captured,
most of them having been wounded.
The prisoners declare General Mas
and General Campo were killed in the
six-hour battle at Benavides, and that
General Velasco was SO badly wounded
that he will die. This is Velasco's Sec
ond wound since the Torreon campaign
opened, rs he was shot in the leg during
one OF the seven assaults Villa delivered
against Gomez Palacio. Tie prisoners
also declare Gen. Garcia Hidalgo was
shot through both shoulders, but was
still able to ride his horse. and that Gen.
