READY FOR FIGHT
GREECE HAS ORDERED MoBILIzA-
TION OF NAVAL AND MILL
,TARY FORCES.
"ELE MENTARY PRUDENCE"
Greece Does Not Wait For Bulgaria to
Make ecision.-Ready For Any
Emergency.

London.--As "a measure of element
ary prudence" Greece has ordered the
mobilization of her naval and military
forces. Thus the action on Bulgaria
in making military preparations has
brought the last remaining Balkan
State under arms for Rumania while
not fully modified. for sometime has
had her troops ready for an emerg-
ency.
What plans Bulgaria really has in
mind and what Greece and Rumania
viii DO when these plans mature are
still matters for speculation. One
thing seems clear however. Bulgaria
and Turkey for so many years worn
enemies, have composed their differ
ences
The successes which the Russian
General lvaniff has been having in
Galicia and Nolhynia, it is considered
in military circles here, may still have
an influence in more than one way in
the Balkans
General Ivanoff has been so success
fnl that German Field Marshal Won
MackenScn, who is fighting north Of
the Pripct marshes, eastward Of Brest
Litovsk, has, according to the German
official report been compelled to with
draw his line somewhat, as it was in
danger Of being encircled, while the
Austrians have been driven back
across the Styr and, according to one
account, have evacuated the fortress
of Lutsk, in the Volhynia triangle of

These successes, which extend to
the Rumanian frontier, would, in the
opinion Of military observers serve to
ease the situation on the Rumanian
flank should Rumania join Russia and
In addition might we'll prevent the
Austro-Germans from sending an
army, which it is estimated must con-
sist Of at least 100000 men, to make
an attack on Serbia.

slams are stiffening their resistance.
East OF wilma the Germans admit
temporary check, during which they
lost guns to the Russians.
There has. been a continuation of
the furious artillery struggle in the
west. According to the Berlin official
report a British attack south Of the
LaBassee canal broke down under the
German fire.
After a fortnight Of comparative in
activity during which they sank only
five British merchant ships German
submarines again are on the move oc

LESSONS FROM WORLDWIDE
CONFLICT.
"MIGHT MAKES RlGHT"-FALSE
Great Commoner Outlines Objections
to United States Entering War, in
Speech at Columbia.

Columbia-A dispassionate attack
on the futility of war; the expose Of
the false philosophy Of might makes
right as the immediate cause Of the
present war in Europe, and the op-
portunity which lies before the United
States and President Wilson to lead
the people of the earth into perman-
ent peace, are the lessons which
American can learn from the European
war according to the speech made at
the Columbia theatre by William Jen.
nings Bryan, former secretary OF state
in President Wilson'S cabinet, before
large audience. The lecture, with
universal and permanent peace as it's
objective desideratum, was given un.e
der the auspices Of the Y. M. C. A.
In a depression from the subject rof
the address Mr.. Bryan said that he
mad come to the point where he ia.
vored extending suffrage to women
on all questions, but in any caa,e on
the question Of going to war.
Mr.. Bryan referred with eyident
feeling to the joy and happiness he
experienced September Is Yast when
he signed arbitration treaties with
four nations, which represented a
combined population of 9OO00O,0OO
people. He pointed ollt the arbitIa.
tlon feature, the indie Unite date of the
termination of these treaties and the
II months allowed for Investigation OF
the dispute, claiming that the ardor
for war would decrease in a years
time. He spoke fervently of the hope
he entertained that all nations of the
world would sign such treaties with
the United States, thereby minimizing
the probability Of war; he called at.
tention to the fact that here were
now 80 such reaties in force, among
the nations being England, France,
Russia and Italy, while the principle
of the treaty has ben accepted by
three other Of the belligerents-
many. Austria and Belgium
THE Great Commoner" outlined
three objections to the United States
entering into war: The financial loss,
the waste Of human life and the sur.
rendering Of neutrality.
He maintained that the rights OF
citizens to be protected in life and
property throughout 1.-The world i'm.
posed upon all citizens duty to re.
gard the position Of the American
government whenever disputes should
arise over the treatment accorded the
citizens in foreign lands 1t was for
this reason, he explained, that he
could not consent to sending at least
100000 men to their death in order
to retaliate for the loss Of 100 Ameri-
can lives on the I,llSitania
lingo journalism" was scored
heavily by Mr. Bryan, who said that
he was proud Of his profession
journalism. He offered as reward
for the alleged patriotism of "iingo
lists" that they be placed on the front
firing line where they can die before
the others who did not want war are
called upon.

on the speakers table, which circum.
stance was humorously disposed OF
by MIR. Bryan. "There is not a head
