GERMANS PROGRESS SLOWLY;
RUSSIANS RETAKE LUTSK
Division of Russian Armies Throws
Preponderating Forces Against
the AuStrianS.

London, Friday: Military activitie:
on the eastern front are once more
assuming the familiar phase of SLOW
German advance. The German plar
of dividing the Russian armies nortf
and south of the "ripet has been 9
strategic success il a way, but the
immediate effect of the severance was
to throw an increased burden on the
Austrians, who seem unable to check
the Russian drive.
Unofficial dispatches from Petro-
grad are that the latest Russian vic
tory, northwest of Dubno, is Of more
importance than was revealed by the
official communication from Petro-
grad, involving recapture of the fort
ress OF Lutsk, northwest of Grodno.
RelinQuishing this fortress, the Aus
trians are said to have retired across
the Styr.
All the way from the Baltic port
of Riga to the Pripet marshes, the
Russians are holding their line stub
bornly in an attempt to bring their
long retirement to an end. The fight
ing is particularly severe southeast
of Wilma and east OF Dvinsk. En-
velopment of the Wilma army having
failed, it is assumed the Germans will
develop their offensive movement at
Dvinsk, with the view of an ultimate
blow at Riga. 1t is generally be-
lieved the Germans have determined
to capture Riga before winter.
Petrograd reports: Russian officers
admit that the new front in the Wilma
region is warped and interrupted in
places. The region to the east of
Ida and south of Molodechno is in
tersected by multitude of rivulets.
These are embarrassing the German
advance, necessi5ating detour north
ward and consequently cooperation
between the German group in the vi
cinity of Villa and that near Ida
will be difficult.

GREEK ARMY MOBILIzES;
WAR BREAKS in BALKANS
Following Action of Bulgaria Greek
King and Premier Calls Troops
to the CoIorS.

Paris reports Friday: An official
decree for the mobilization of the
Greek army was issued in Athens
Friday, says the Athens correspon-
dent of the Havas Agency Parlia-
| ment probably will be summoned.
Bulgaria having taken certain meas
ures, the Greek government has de-
cided to answer these measures by
equivalent preparations, telegraphs
the Athens correspondent of The
Matin.
The dispatch says the decree was
published in the Official Journal. 1t
states that mobilization has been de-
cided upon as measure of prudence,
on account of similar action by Bull
garia. The classes of 1892 to 1911
are called to the colors.
The semi-official newspaper PATHS
of Athens says the military measures
undertaken by Greece show a deci-
sion has been reached to meet Bull
garia's move energetically and with
out delay. 1t adds that the intention
of Greece is. to defend her own rights
and to fulfill her duty to support
Serbia.
Athens reports: A decree of gen.
eral mobilization of twenty classes Of
Greek soldiers has been signed by
King Constantine and promulgated.
The decision of the king has aroused
the greatest enthusiasm. Issuance of
the mobilization decree came quickly
after the king had granted an audi
ence to Premier Venizelos. The pre-
mier informed the king that mobillza-
ton was the only possible reply to
Bulgaria's move. To this the SOW
ereign agreed, stipulating that it
should be regarded as a offensive
measure.
The minister Of war, General Dang
lis, subsequently took the decree to
the palace, and the king signed it.
The twenty classes now called to the
colors are in addition to four classes
already under arms.

WAR LOAN HITS NEW SNAG;
MAY RESULT in DEADLOCK
Anglo-French Commissioners Con-
fronting Heightened Difficult
ties in Securing Loan.

Opposition to the proposed wal
loan to the Allies has crystalized to
such an extent that negotiations may
have to be reopened along different
lines.
That the difficulties confronting
the Anglo-French credit commission,
ers have heightened within the past
twenty-four hours and that a dead
lock is threatened was evident.
The three chief Obstacles were the
following:
l. The unfavorable financial posi-
ton of the British government as
revealed in the budget speech OF
Reginald McKenna, British Chancel-
lor of the EXckequer..
2. Opposition to Russi:.s partici-
patton in the proposed loan.
8. Attitude of western interests
that have been antagonized by the
seizure of fifteen million dollars
worth of meat cargoes owned by
American packers by England.

TO PROTECT Her RIGHTS
Bulgarian Government Disclai1ns Ag-
oreSsive Intentions.

:Bulgaria's entrance into state
of armed neutrality is explained by
changes shortly to be made in the
political and military situation. Bull
garia has no hostile intentions. but IS
firmly resolved to safeguard her
rights and independence if necessary

Owing to the movements of troops

To the Editor Of The Times:

Convention and Music Hsil Neces
slty.
To the Editor Of The Times:
am pleased TO note that the senti-
ment in favor OF the city OF Detroit
having a convention and music ball
is taking root. and ] hope tnis time
1t will succeed. some two or more
years ago in our local papers, l called
attention TO the actual necessities or
such a building | was in hopes at
that time that some one OF our citi-
zens, who had increased his wealth
sufficient TO enable him TO erect such
building TO be- named after himself,
would come TO the front and establish
monument for himself while living,
but We have not been SO fortunate. In
the writer's opinion this subject Is
OF SO much Importance that II IL can
not be secured through company or
ganized for the purpose OF erecting
this convention and music hall, the
citizens OF our city should be given
this opportunity at our next election
OF voting for or against the PROPOSE
tion OF bonding our city for an amount
not exceeding sl,000,000 for this pur>
pose.
AS has been stated. Detroit at one
time was the leading convention city.
II is not today and the reason is we
have not the accommodations. Today
we have the hotel accommodations,
and 1t is only OF late We can say this
Now to complete the situation the
convention and music hall Ia neceS
sity. Are we to let the opportunity
pass and have II said. as is the con-
dition today, that other cities less m
population and attractive features can
offer better inducements than the city
OF Detroit? We cannot AFFORD this.
and now IN my opinion is the time to
form an organization 10 do the work
necessary 10 accomplish the building
OF a convention and music hall. IL
WILL take time TO secure location and
have plans prepared. Let Us get busy
SO that Detroit can advertise TO the
world that she is prepared to take
care OF all conventions and musical
organizations as no other city can do.
