GERMANY HONORS
 REQUEST OF J. 5.
 RECALL ATTACHES
Successors to von Papen and Boy-Ed Probably Already
 Selected.

New York, Dec. 9.-There will be no diplomatic break with Germany as a result of the request of the Unit ed States for the recall of Captains Boy-Ed and von Papen. Germany has already decided upon successors for both attaches.
 This was the important announce ment that came today direct from the Wall street office of Captain von Papen. The new German military attache. (to succeed con Papen) will be one of two men:
 Captain Herworth von Bittenfeld, von Papen's predecessor as military attache. and staff expert present at the building of the Panma canal, or Capt. Ewald Hecker, of the German army, and director of the German Rcd Cross work in this country. 1t could not be learned today who will be named as Boy-Ed's successor. He may be an officer of one of the German warships interned at New port News. The name of Commander Thierichens of the Prinz Eitel Freid- erich is most frequently mentioned h German circles.

London, Dec 9.-The position of the allied forces in south Servia be- comes hourly more serious. It was admitted officially today that the al- lied army had been forced to make two retreats in "A hours
 With every retirement of the allies and the close pursuit by the Bulgars, the Greek situation becomes more critical. A clash on the Greek from tier. or even on Greek territory, is imminent.
 The consequence will be most grave. Not only are the attacking Bulgarians assisted by the Austrians, but the report is received tonight that von Mackenzen's forces are passing southward with such rapidity that they have already crossed the Vardar river.
 One section of the German field marsnal's army is making for Navarro kop, according to Saloniki corres- pondent of the Journale, and the otn- CT section. a cavalry one, is even now in the region.
 English in Grave Danger.
 England at first contended that the retirement of the allies was a strate- gic move, but the later news indi- cates that it is one of necessity, that the English expedition is in grave danger of being enveloped and over whelmed.
 The Bulgarians are in overmaster- ing numbers, and we'll provided with heavy artillery, and the Germans hurrying to the scene are bringing powerful squadrons of horsemen.
 An example of the fierceness o1 the fighting is furnished by dispatch from Sofia, which announces the an initiation of French battalion on the Yardar river on December z.

Garrison Throws Down the Gauntlet to Opponents
 of Policy.
MAKE SERVICE IN
 ARMY COMPULSORY
Unless Citizens Enlist in Continental Army Voluntarily, United States Must Have Resort to Compel
 Such Service.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Compulsory military service is declared by Secre- tary Garrison, in his annual report made public today, to be the only re- sort of the United States in providing an adequate defense, should citizens fail to enlist in the continental army proposed as a reserve to the regular army.
 Secretary Garrison throws down the gauntlet to former Secretary bry- an and other opponents of military preparedness in this declarations: eff the nation requires certain ser vice and offers the most favorable cp- portunity for the citizens to furnish such service, and, notwithstanding that, it cannot secure such SCI vice. it must then resort to some method of compelling the service"
 MT. Garrison makes this plain state ment after discussing the prospects of raising a reserve army of 4U0 ,000 men through voluntary enlistment. "With respect to the annual install ments of 133,000 men for the conti- mental army" says the secretary of war, "the question undoubtedly will be frequently asked. Can they be se- cured? Will you get the men9 There cannot of course be, a categorical answer to this question. Nobody knows; but this does not in any way alter the course which we should pursue. With respect to the conti- rental force the most favorable con ditfons will be provided for the citi- zens to enter it's service. The mlnl- mum of time will be required. the maximum of compensation will be provided: and. if the volition of the citizen does not result in the secur- ing of the needed number, there will be complete demonstration of the inability of any volunteer system to produce results"
 Details of Plan.
 The details of the Garrison military program previously have been made public. Briefly the plan. calls for the increase of the regular army to 141,- 900 officers and men. A reserve to be known as the continental army would be raised in three installments of 133.O00 men each. These reserv- ists would serve six years, three the first with the colors, during which they would receive annual intensive training in field camps. With the n!an in complete operation the conti- mental army would always comprise 400 900 men with the colors. The
 nguiar army of 141,000 and a nation al guard of 129,O00 more would bring the entire military forces up to 670,- coo men.
 Last year congress appropriated s115 .OOO, ,COO for military purposes. AS previously disclosed by Secretary Garrison, his plan when in complete

Mr. Bryan wrote a letter to the house
Of judiciary committee that would alb
solutely preclude his opposing the re-
nomination and reelection Of the presi-
dent on the ground that the Baltimore

invitation Of Secretary Daniels to head

vice to meet the conditions of warfare
shown in the conflict on land and sea
