NEEDS DRASTIC ACTION
PreS't Wilson Takes Personal
Charge of Foreign
Problems.

WASHINGTON, March with the
situation in Mexico City described by
diplomats as more intolerable than
ever, the administration today faced
the question OF taking drastic action
in Mexico
Pres't Wilson has taken personal
charge of the foreign problems of this
government and was said to be study
ing conditions in the Mexican capital
to determine the steps necessary to
take. In many quarters the situation
south Of the Rio Grande was held to
overshadow the European develop
ments.
Diplomats here view with alarm the
refusal of Gen. Obregon. Carranza' 5
military commander at Mexico City,
10 accept aid from foreigners and in
innate that should he continue IN this
attitude stronger methods than diplo-
matte pressure may have to be taken.
In this connection il has been sug-
gested that an allied army similar TO
that sent TO Pekin during the boxer
uprising there. be dispatched TO the
Mexican capital. No intmation, how
ever. came from Washington authori-
ties as 10 whether this idea would be
entertained.
1t was admitted by administration
officials that the Mexican problem has
reached a more serious stage than at
any time since the outbreak of rev0-
lutiOnary activities in the republic but
il was expected that the authorities
for the present would await the out
come of the representations made 10
Gen. CarranZa 10 curb the "incendi-
ary'' statements OF Gen. ObregOn and
force him To protect the lives and
property Of foreigners.
Officials. however. were not optim
istic OF success because CarranZa
heretofore has shown a disposition 10
DISREGARD representations from this
government. Reports 10 the state de-
partment from foreign diplomatic
sources state that the people of Mex
leo City are living In terror and facing
starvation because of ObregOn's re-
fusal TO accept outside aid and prevent

WILL JOIN ALLIES SIDE
Athens Government Already said 60
Have Cast Its Lot With Foes
of Germany.

ROME, March 6.-That Greece and
Italy viii enter the war on the side of

diplomat here today. lie asserted
That the government at Athens had
already decided TO cast its lot with
the foes of Germany. Austria and Tur-
key, and that this action would also
force Italy'S participation.
It became known today that rhe
Russian ambassador 10 Italy, III.

been the dominant member Of the al
lies diplomatic corps here and has
baked at every turn the efforts of
AMBASSADOR Won Beulow. the German
envoy, TO persuade the Italian govern

Feeling that his task has been ac-
cOmplished, Mr. Kroupenski, who has
been in i'll health for some time. has
asked his government 10 relieve him
and his request has been granted.
Only the formal entrance OF Greece
into the war as now awaited here.
The participation of that country and
the rewards she might receive in the
Balkan peninsula would graNely
menace the interests of Italy.

PETROGRAD, March G.-With the
cessation Of blizzards in the Car
pathiaus, the Russian armies have re-
sumed their advance along the entire
southern and southwestern front IN
Bukowina their right flank has cross
cd the Pruth river and has opened an
attack upon CzernowitZ.
In southeastern GaliCia the Rus
SLAMS, after capturing Stanislaw az.
KolOme. have pressed the AustrO-
German forces back TO NadwOrna and
are advancing against that town. In
this region the Teutontc allies have
lost I'm single week all the ground
they gained in a campaign lasting a
month and a half.
Near Wyszkow and at the LupkOw
and Dukla passes the cars troops are
driving home attacks upon the en-
trenched Austrians. while along the
Dunajec river a general battle has
opened southwest Of Tarnow. The
Austrians there hold front of great
strength 10 protect Cracow, but the
Russians have won some important
positions at ZakllcZyn.
From Zakliczyn to CzernOwitz it IS
about 250 miles in a straight line, but
because of the irregular front the
battle line through Galicia into
Bukowina IS about $40 miles.
Successes Most Important.
The Russians successes about Stanis-
law are the most important that have
been gained in the southern arena in
several months. Three Austro-G Ger
man divisions totalling 5000 men,
were trapped between the Zlota and
Czarna rivers and forced TO surrender
while the attack upon Stanislaw itself
was made with such rapidity and
VigOr that the Russians captured
$4,000 more men there together with
s.4r
vast quantity OF supplies which the
Austrians and Germans had taken
there with the purpose OF using Stan
islaw as a base for the campaign
against Lemberg.
In operations along other portions
OF the Gaician front the Russians
have taken more than $4,000 addi
tional prisoners. According to the
Otncial Army Messenger. at least So.
GOO Austrian and German soldiers
have been taken in the southern
arena.
Kiev dispatches state that train
after train of prisoners is arriving
there. These come from the Galician-
Bukowina frontier.
In the meantime the Russians are
maintaining their slow and cautious
advance In Poland. Latest reports
