BIDS Are MADE
FOR BULGARIA
Great Britain Urged to Win
Country For The
Allies
SOFIAN STATEMENTS
Sensation Caused in Diplomatic Cir
cles in London While Premier Dis
cusses Demands.

London, Aug. 13-The Bulgarian
premier's frank statements to the
/ United Press in an interview obtain
ed by staff correspondent at Sofia
were printed for the first time mere
TODAY and caused real sensation In
diplomatic circles.
The London newspapers gave the
/ interview with Premier Radoslavoft
prominent display, subordlnatlng all
; other news from the Balkans anc
making it the subject for comment
in their leading editorials.
The Telegraph, Standard. News,
and Chronicle urged that Great Brit
ain and her allies use the utmost ef-
forts at once to secure Bulgarlas
participation in the war.
In diplomatic circles, as well as III
the press, the open manner in when
the Bulgarian prime minister voiced
his country's demands occasioncd as
tonishmcnt. 1t was pointed out thai
seldom had the head Of a government
50 involved in the most delicate ne
potiations taken 4 newspaper man
into his confidence by lying tarc Juss
what his country sought to obtaIr
through those negotiations.
The newspapers were unanimous
in applauding this frankness, and for
the most part they declared Bulgaria
demands, as outlined by Premier Ra-
doslavoff, to be quite reasonable. Ills
statement that Bulgaria would start
an army against Constantlnople at
once if Serbia Macedonia were coded
to her was a pleasant surprise to
political circles here, where it had
been hinted that Bulgaria was max
ing most extravagant request upon
the allies.
The effect of the interview on thc
whole was to dissipate the pesslmlSm
in some quarters over the Balkan nc
gotiatioas.
Serbia, according to best informa-
ton received here, is not disposed
to relinquish Serbian Macedonia to
the Bulgars unless she receives some
thing substantial in return. The ne
cotiations now going on at Nish aim
to bring about an agreement between
the allies and the Serbian government
by which Bulgaria shall realize her
national aims. without causing dis
satisfaction in Serbia.

Raiders Said to Be Holding
Up Ranches and Ter

NO BATTLES RESULT
One Mexican Killed at Mercedes Last
Night-Huerta is Blamed For
Present Conditions.

Brownsville Aug. 13- Federal
troops were rushed from here earl!
to Edinburgh, in Hidalgo county
where Mexican raiders are holding
nm ranches and terrorizing the
country.
A report that soldiers and Mexl-
cans have engaged in battle Is de-
MED. One Mexican was killed at Mer'
cedes late last night.
American refugees, mostly wo'
men and children, continue to arrive
in Corpus Christi from the valley
country.
Official reports from the Rio Grande
valley indicate the Mexicans are more
thoroughly organized than was be-
lieved.
The reports say the movement Is
well financed and an attempt is be-
ing made to find out the source OF
the finances.
General Funston. at San Antonio,
is reported prepared to call for ad-
ditional troops to quell the uprising.
A battalion of the Ninth United
States Infantry was sent here from
Laredo yesterday to re-enforce the
troops and Texas Rangers.
Ell Paso, Aug. 13-General Naf-
arctic, the .Carranza commando. IL
the Mexican district opposite the
disturbed region in Texas, denies that
any of his men are entering Texas
and declares that the trouble is being
caused by supporters of Huerta.
Texas and United State officers DO
not believe that any particular fac
ton is responsible, but that num-
ber of lawless Mexicans have taken
advantage of disturber conditions to
create terror and attempt to stea!
horses and loot a district that is

policed. So far as the officers have
been able to learn none of the Mex
lean bands is larger than forty or
fifty men and there is oe " one known
to be that large.
All of General Villas generals have
been instructed not to take the Of
fensive against Carranza troops and
to avoid battle if possible. This was
the statement of Mexican officers
high in Villas councils.
This period of inactivity will last
about three weeks, Villa told his Off
GERS after the conference Tuesday
with Major General Scott. By the
end of that time it is thought the
peace cenference at; Washington will
know de fnitely whether Carranza
and generals will consent to the
three months truce plan. =

EXPECT WINTER CAMPAIGN
French Army Tries to Make The
Trenches More Comfortable

Dunkirk, France, Aug. 13-All
along the French front preparations
are going steadily forward for the
winter campaign. In the trenches the
greatest possible degree of care is
being taken to protect the men, not
only against attacks, but also against
the rigors of weather.
Tar is being extensively used where
ever the intrusion of water is like
" to occur, the efforts being to make
the trenches as nearly watertight as
possible. Drainage of various kinds
is being provided, and concrete is
being freely used to provide weather
proof shelters.
If it is necessary to make use Of
the name trenches this winter as the
troops occupied last winter, they will
not suffer so largely from wet and
frozen feet, and it will be possible to
sleep or rest with some degree Of
comfort instead of in the mud.
For the protection of the troops in
the advanced trenches, the use of
barbed wire is being greatly extended.
The driving Of the posts for the wire
formerly done with heavy mallets,
the sound of which was often the
signal for volley from the enemy, IS
now accomplished noiselessly by ma
chinery.

Both Sides Making Despe-

Support
ISSUE FAR-REACH1NG
Austro- German Plan to Begin Vic
torous Offensive to Crush Serbia
and Force Bulgaria.

London, August, achievements
'overshadowing in Importance even
the operations in Poland are being
made in the Balkan theater of war.
British operations against the Dar-
danelles and !Austro-German threats
against Serbia are beginning to
envolve themselves into rage for the
support of the Balkan states.
The Balkan situation at present
dominates all others in all the capt.
tails of Europe.
Everything points to Il vigorous Of
fensive by the Austro-Germans
against Serbia at an early date with
the object of crushing the Serbian
army in order to force Bulgaria to
give free passage to Teuton forces
needed for the relief of Constan-
tinople.
Leading critics in Italy and France
consider this plan of the German
general staff very serious. Should II
succeed it would involve the complete
failure of the Allies efforts at the
pardanelles and the final immobiii-
Zation of the Balkan States, whose
cooperation is now sought by the
n,,, vppIo antontn
No great hope is entertained that
the Allies will succeed in inducing
the Balkan States to intervene or
their side but it is hoped that they
will remain neural.
In order to defeat the Germans at
their own plan the Allies on Gallipoi
have commenced tremendous often
sive against the Turks in desperate
effort to smash the Dardanelles de-
fenses and reach Co ?"tantinoplc be-
fore Germany can throw an army
through Servia. More than $4,000
fresh troops have been landed OH
.Gallipoli within the last week and
their appearance has heraided vio-
lent drive on the entire front.
Still more reinforcements. both
French and British, are semiofficially
reported en- route for the Straits.
Intense naval activity is evident III
cooperation with the land attacks
of the Allies. Unofficial dispatches
continue tc report the torpedoing of
the Turkish cruiser .Goeben ,rcnam-
ed Sultan Selim after her purchase
from Germany by Turkey by Brit
ish submarine which penetrated into
the Black Sea.
Demands for the opening of path
to Turkey are being voiced in Berlin
and procamations that Germany Is
preparing to send an army TO aid
the Turks are being spread broadcast
in Constantinople, according to ad-
vices received here today.
A dispatch from Amsterdam says
that Count Reventlow writing in the
Tages-Zeitung, of Berlin, declares
that Germany must hew her way
through to Constantinople and makc
the new Triple Alliance a reality.

WARSAW LITTLE HARMED
Russian Damage Small and Much of
Value Left Behind


The city of Warsaw, the centre OF
the recent colossal campaign for the
Vistula line, suffered comparatively
little from the battles which ragged
around it and from the process of its
eacuation by the Russians. AL
though fears had been expressed
that the Russians in leaving the city
might repeat the canturysold pre-
cedent at Moscow and set the town
on fire. they did not do SO. The wa
ter, gas and electric plants were left
in working order, and only in Praga
were the water mains damaged in sew
eral places by explosions.
The Russians retired in such haste
at the last moment that they omit,
ell to carry out many measures the!
had planned. A whole park of au-
tomobiles and carriages, which had
been collected for removal. was left
behind. An order to carry off the
church bells was only partly executed
and many bells. even those in princi-
pal churches. were left hanging.
Most of the Polish residents Of the
city declined to follow the order to
leave with the Russians, generally.
escaping deportation by keeping out
of sight.
The scenes on the night Of the
evacuation were dramatic. AT 1C
o'clock in the evening series Of ex-
traordinary heavy explosions were
heard, signalling the destruction OF
the forts. The sky over the city
famed red from burning military
buildings and railway shops. The
bridges were jammed with retiring
troops or flooded with columns of ar,
tillery.
At 5 O'Clock the next morning
pioneers destroyed the three Wis
lula bridges. An hour later two Ger
man officers rode coolly through the
city in an automobile to the Town
Hall, where they met the chief OF
the citizens committee. A few minu
tes afterwards patrols of cavalry ap-
ncared, their lances declled with
flowers and the men singing "Die
Wacht Am Khein." From the scene:
the streets it might have beer
the event was ii city festival.
Crowds in gay summer attire throng-
cd the thoroughfares, cheering the
soldiers, while many offered
them flowers.
Meanwhile from the river front
and even from overhead came the
noise Of exploding shrapnel shells ana
the whizz of speeding bullets. Many
casualties occurred in the city anG
lmbulances were busy the entire day
the wounded to their
homes or to hospitals. Municipal af-
fars are in the hands fa siti"ens'
committee under the control Of which
a volunteer citizens police force mas
been formed to preserve order.
The destruction OF the railroad
bridge was poorly executed. The mid
die spans were wrecked and drop
ned into the river. but the piers were
left standing so that it will take but
a comparatively short time to re-
build the structure and reopen rail-
road communications for Prince Leo
pold's armies.
