LONDON, Jan. g.
In view of the reports of the early en-

despatch from the Chronicles Milan cor
respondent:
Russian hosts are making rapid strides
In Austria's eastern province, Bukowina,
where they have encountered but faint
hearted resistance. The Rumanian cor
respondent of II Secolo at Rosenthal says
that the invaders are sweeping down
along the Rumanian borderand, where
their patrols, composed OF Rumanians be-
longing to Russian Bessarabia, are to be
found chatting amicably with the
Rumanian army sentries at the frontier
outposts.
"The Russians are actually in posses
sion of Suczawa and Klmpolung, both
within a few miles of the Rumanian
frontier. Their infantry and artillery
regiments entered the former place on
Sunday after IL had been occupied by a

MEXICAN EXILES
GO TO WASHINGTON
In SEARCH OF AID
Brought From Vera Cruz,
They Have Been Living
on Charity-Served Army
of Occupation.

with papers in their pockets, proving
their past services TO the United states
army at Vera Cruz Mexico, six Mexican
refugees who have been living on charity
in this city for several weeks past, after
being smuggied out OF Mexico to escape
assassination at the hands OF the Car
rama forces, left this morning for WASH
ington, where they will present their
claims for remuneration to the War De-
partment.
The Inasmuch Mission has been the
home OF the refugees. They were pennt-
less when they were landed at the Phila-
delphla Navy Yard from army transports
and were recommended to the mission by
the officers of the ships. BY virture OF his
superior intelligence. Rafael Periz. for
merly assistant chief Of police at Vera
Cruz. is tho leader of the party. He speaks
English fairly we'll. After the occupa-
tlon OF Vera Cruz, in May OF last year,
Senior Perez was assistant to Major II. a.
Smith, 2sth Infantry, provost marshal
general of Vera Cruz. He carries GER
ti1cate of that fact signed by Major
Smith, testlfying to the va;ue of his serV-
ices, also his identification card with his
photograph on Il.
Four weeks ago he says. Colonel Plum
mer, of the provost marshars forces
told him that II he wanted to save his
head from Carranza he had better sneak
aboard the transport San Marcos and
come to the United States. He told his
family to stay at Vera Cruz and he
would come here and get work. With
him on the San Marcos came s. A. Ca
| denza, former member of police at
Vera Cruz They landed ten days ago
and went to the mission.
Awaiting them there they found Noises
| Fuares, Joaquin Magma and Miguel
Dominguez, former policemen, and Vic
tor Rivera former employe of the
Custom House at Vera Cruz. All six of
the men went into the United States em-
ploy to save their heads at the time of
| the American invasion. The last four
named arrived here on the transport
three weeks ago and were taken in by
| Superintendent Long. of the mission. 1t
cost him IS day to keep them.
Perez is the only one who speaks Eng
| lish. A citizen took an interest in the
cases of the men and communicated with
the War Department. The refugees say
| they have not been formally dismissed
! from the army service and hope that
! Uncle Sam will loosen his purse strings
and help them to independence.
