Petrorrad. October 13.-CVia London.) Another striking victory has been won by the Russians on the southern front In Galicia. They have pierced the last line of Austrian defenses on the Stripa river and stormed one of the strongest points on tho Austro-German right flank.
 Between 2Ooo and 5000 prisoners were captured
 This achievement of the Russians, fol- lowing successes reported yesterday on the Dvinsk front, representedea continu- ation of the recent strong offensive move ment north of the Roumanian frontier.
 The position stormed was a strong for tification on, a hill to the east of Giayo- ranka, on the right bank of the Strspa, 13 miles north of Buchach and from which the Austrians had prepared to strike at the Russian left flank toward Piisk. Russian successes around Kolka and Charloriesk, however, enabled them to obtain footing on the left bank oi the styr, which seriously menaced their opponents.
 Having thus completely secured the Rovno district and the road leading into volhynia and the marsh region, the Rus sians occupied strong positions along the Rivers Oychka, Styr, Ikwa and Sereth They prevented the Austrians and Ger mans from entrenching and warded off a blow aimed at the Russian right wing

RUSSIAN ARMS VICTORIOUS IN
 EAST ,GALICIA

By careful reeonnaissances the Rus
 slans prepared counter offensive.
 Reaching a series of entanglements and
 trenches. they drove out the Teutonic forces from their positions, seized a com
 siderable number of prisoners and wid-
 ened the breach sufficiently to enable cavalry to engage in energetic pursuit.
 The cavalry seized the supply trains and threw the Teutonic rear into confusion. The war office estimates that upward of three divisions of the Austrians were
 disorganized and asserts that 1t will com pei General Von Linsingen to regroup his
 forces on the whole front. which will
 affect operations in the entire south
 eastern district.
 Greatest importance is attached here
 to the political significance of the Rus
 sian accomplishments in eastern Galicla.
 nasmuch as large Austro-German forces had been concentrated on tine Galiclan front, apparently to impress Roumania. The Russians also are developing their operations around Dvinsk, and the Ger mans have now been driven back a dis tarce of nine or 10 miles on the north western and southwestern fronts. At La autzeshei northwest of Novo Alexan- d, ovsk, Russian artillery dispersed the Germans. North of the immediate Dvinsk district the Russians drove back the Germans distance of three miles. | Efforts. of the invaders to reach Dvinsk. along the highway from Novo Alexandrovsk. have cost them enormous losses and caused them to turn to the roads leading in from the northwest. Comparative quiet prevails along the front of 125 miles from Lake Bogensky to the southern terminus of the Ogin- ski canal.

GREECE REFUSES
 TO ASSIST SERVIA
Statement Says Former Treaty Does
 Not Cover the Present Circumstances

Athens, October 12.--(Via Paris, De- tober 13.)-The Greek reply to Servia's representations that the Bulgarian at tack on Servia completes the act of ag- gression contemplated under the treaty of alliance between Greece and Servia, and asking if the Greek army is ready to enter action against Bulgaria, was delivered today.
 Beginning with the declaration that
 "the royal government greatly regrets that 1t is unable to accede to Servia' S requests" tha reply explains that the
 alliance of 1911, while foreseeing Bull garian aggression. was limited to pre- serving an equilibrium among the Bal kan states.
 The preamble of the treaty" the re- ply continues, "defines it as of purely Balkan character, not applying to a general conflagration. Both the treaty of alliance and the military conven- tion completing 1t prove in the first
 article that the contracting parties con templated only isolated attacks by Bull garia against one of them." The note argues that the treaty does not cover the situation which has arisen today-a situation in which
 Greece might destroy herself without hope of saving Servia, which cannot wish such a result It is added that
 Common interests demand that the Greek forces still be kept in reserve for
 a better use later."
 The note concludes with the declara- ton that Greece intends to remain an
 armed neutral. and assures Servia that Greece will continue to give her every assistance and facility compatible with Greece's exclusively international posi- tiOn"

 Of Nations to Bring About Peace

San Francisco, October 1S.-The Interna- tional Peace congress today adopted a resolution directing David Starr Jordan, president of the congress. to go to Wash ington immediately and urge President Wilson to call a conference of nations to form a permanent body to bring about peace.
 Jordan will leave tomorrow.
 Another resolution adopted declared the peace congress looked with apprehension on the presence on advisory boards of the United States government of manufac- turers of war munitions or of men inter- ested in the sale of supplies to the Euro pean beligerents.
 A resolution states that the congress believed the warning nations were not willing themselves to begin peace ne- gotiations, but would welcome affirma- tive action by a neutral agency.
 Representatives of international Ia. bor and women's peace movements Will be asked to attend the proposed con ference of neutral nations.

BURDENS OF STATE BEAR HEAVILY ON
 ENGLISH PEOPLE
Half the Income of Each Individual Needed to Support Military
 Activities

London. October 1s.-The man who his income available for the state does
 not do his duty said Samuel Monta u,
 financial secretary to the treasury. re-
 plying in the House of Commons today
 to criticisms of the new taxes imposed
 by the budget of Reginald McKenna,
 chancellor of the exchequer. Montagu
 dwelt on the magnitude of the burden
 cast on the country by the war
 We have had to keep and continue
 to keep said MT. Montagu, "an inn
 pregnable navy We have paid and con-
 tinue to pay for an army which has
 increased from few thousands of men
 to an army which runs into millions.
 We are financing by loans to our great
 dominions part of their expenditures on
 the contingents which are helping us
 to. fight We are paying, as-4egards
 India, the whole cost of the Indian con
 tingents. except their normal peace ex- penditures.
 We have advanced to the allies such sum as 1t was estimated would eQuip
 and maintain in the field s,O00,0Oo of their soldiers. We have right to be proud of our share. and we ought to be proud of the way in which the pro- posals for meeting the war expenditure have been received by all classes" Montagu added that the country had not bent itself to the task of meeting the obligations imposed by burdens which involved an expenditure amount ing to not less than two-thirds of the entire estimated national yearly in- come. Therefore. 1t followed, he said
 that every citizen ought to be prepared to put no less than half his current in- come at the disposal of the state, either by tax or loan.
 To do this. he continued. the civil population must stint itself and rear range it's whole life with regard to the consumption of luxuries and foreign purchased goods. There would, however be still more money left in the pockets of the people that would have to be got later on by loan or taxation and this had caused a feeling of relief and given an assurance that the country could continue to finance the war. Montagu said in conclusion that the chancellor of the exchequer intended to develop with all possible rapidity a compulsory taxation system for the country, but this in itself would not be adequate to the case and voluntary sav- ings were essential to an ultimate vic tory.

 Hay to Confer With President
 Chairman Hay of the House military affairs committee will confer with the President tomorrow concerning plans for the army, and Monday Secretary Gar rison Is expected to return to Washington and begin a series of talks with the Pres ident on the defense programme.
 Secretary Daniels already has heard the Presidents views on naval appropria- tions Mr Daniels said today that both the President and Chairman Padgett of the House naval affairs committee seemed to approve of the idea of a fve-year naval building programme.
 The secretary said that in his confer ence with the general board the number of ships of the battle cruiser and dread naught type to be recommended had not been decided He believed, however, more dreadnaughts than battle cruisers would be asked for, and while he declined to give figures, intimations in naval quar- ters were that four capital fighting ships would De recommended TOT lne ITst Ol the five years, three the second year and enough thereafter to make a total of be- tween 15 and 20 fighting ships for the entire period.
 Wars Lessons
 'T believe the European war has showr us,, said MT. Daniels "the great value not only of aircraft, but of fast. heavily armed vessels and scout cruisers and tht importance of big guns. Particularly fl has taught us that we might have larger supplies of ammunition than Congress ol the general board has hitherto provided. The secretary revealed that most of thu attaches abroad before making up mex attaches abroad bfore making up nex years building programme had arrived He said the delay in building the twt battleships authorized by the last Con gress was due to a desire to perfect plan for protection of these vessels agains the torpedo.
 According to Mr. Daniels estimate to day of ships built and building, exclusive of what additional vessels may be author ized by the next Congress, the fleet woult number 30 capital ships of the first lin by 1922 with 12 in reserve Naval officers estimate that out of the total numbe which would be authorized in the five-yea building programme 12 first-line ship could be finished by 1922, so that the tota would be A.

The national congress was urged to adopt an immigration policy of just and equitable treatment of all races The peace delegates want policy that will grant citizenship regardless of race or nationality and to provide that all aliens should be under the protec- ton of the government.
 The congress went on record as rec ognizing that to the President is largely due the fact that the republic "has remained law abiding, despite cur rents of fear. hate and excitement" and expressed its opposition to the wide- spread demand for preparation against hypothetic dangers. The delegates agreed that they did not urge disarma- ment under present conditions.
 "A sweeping victory on either side, another resolution said, would not solve Europes problems being sure to leave a legacy of hate with seeds of future wars. s.'' The congress urged the calling of the third Hague conference at the conclusion of the war and said delegates should rep resent the civil and not the military au. thorities of their respective countries
