URGING GREECE ID DEFINE HER
 OWN ATTITUDE
IRepublioan A. p. Leased Wirel

1 LONDON. Nov. 1G-With the in i creasing gravity from the allies
 viewpoint of the military situation in
 Serbia. the attitude of Greece toward the armies of the entente powers has
 become q matter of the deepest con cern and an effort is being made to induce the Greek government to de- fine it's intentions.
 Ii is said that the presence at Saloniki of q large number of French and British warships with transports has made some impression on King Constantine and his advisers. But, with so much at stake, nothing short of positive guarantee of the safety of the French, British and Serbian troops. should they be compelled |" retire into Greece, will satisfy Lon don and Paris, whose ministers ar" being strongly supported by the Rus sian and Italian representatives.
 The presence of Lord Kitchener the British secretary for war, in tn" Aegean. and of Derys Cochin, member of the French cabinet. at Athens. it is hoped here will help clear ,p very complicated situation The time. however is short, for the Bulgarians have been strongly rein forced. both in central and southern Serbia. and besides attempting ;t fIanking movement against the Serp- ians at Babuna Pass. thereby threat ening PriIep and Monastir, are op- posing formidable forces to the French at Gradsko and along the left bank of the Cerna.
 Thus far. the Serbians are holding the Babuna Pass and the FrencA their original position. but the pres sure is necessarily being felt by troops who have been fighting for days without cessation.
 In the north the Austro Germans who have joined hands with the Bulgarians. west of Nish, are moving slowly and steadily, but doubtlessly cautiously. owing to the presence of the unbeaten Montenegrins. with perhaps. other support, harrasslng them in the west.
 A dispatch received tonight from Vienna by way of Zurich says that British and Italian troops are en- deavoring to reach the battlefield where the Serbians are awaiting them. but does not say from what point they are coming.

 In the west the weather is wintry and there has been only artillery and mining activity.

On the conclusion of the war the form it would assume, he thought. would be unlike anything with which the world had grown ia miliar One obvious aspect of this transition was that in the future it would be quite impossible to make treaty arrangements between the great powers without first obtaining some likely guarantee of their ob- servance.
 The signature of Germany to q document of any kind, he said would have little value, within any measur- able time that could now be con templated. It was likewise true that that this observance would have to be generally applied beyond Germany, because no nation would feel itself safe which obtained the price of peace on anything but some material guarantee of it's own.

IRepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

i SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 1G.-Thirty- one men were killed today by an eX- plosion of cOal dust in the Northwest ern Improvement . COmpanys coal mine at Ravensdale thirty five miles southeast If Seattle.

The rescuers were able to identify Kane, who was burned to death. but for almost an hour were unable to reach his body because or the intense heat in the level. Shortly before midnight, however, they sue ceeded in recovering Kane's body as well as the bodies Of C. P. Davis and NJ. Penneili. which were taken to the surface.
 Trained rescuemen, wearing oxygen helmets, rushed to the mine from Se- attle and from Roslyn and Gle F1um were able to penetrate far enough into the mine to see the bodies of the en- tomber men lying in the mine but cout not get to them because of the wreckage and the intense heat.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The details of the plan to secure a credit in the United States to relieve the Ameri can exchange rate, on which a com = mission of bankers has been working for some time, are now said to be complete, but the officials concerned decline to give out any information concerning it.
 It is believed, however, that the original idea of issuing three months bills, which might be renewed when necessary, has been abandoned and that the credit will take the form of a loan from banks in the United States to banks here. starting at e20,000.0 900 (s100000, ,000) and increas- ing to ( 40,O0O,OOO ($20O, 900, ,OOO) when the operation would be complete.

Obregon at Naco Shows no Sign of Moving South to Begin General Offensive as Ordered by General CaPranZa
CAVALRY LEAVES
 FOR INFERIOR
Main Body of 4,000 Men With Nine Field Pieces and Fourteen Machine Guns Still Remain in the Camp
rRepuhlican A. p. Leased Wlre1


 \ACO, NoN. I6-Although the Car announced today that General Obre- Gon had finally ordered the general offensive against Francisco Villa to begin tonight, Obregon, who is at Naco. Sonora, opposite here, had shown no sign at a late hour of moving southward. Some cavalry left for the interior today, but the main body of about 4000 men, with nine field pieces and fourteen ma = chine guns, remained in camp. It was stated, however that Obregon probably would march southward to- morrow.
 It was clear, in any case, that the Carranza military chief regarded Villa favorably placed for the ae- complishment of the task of elimin- ating him from Mexican situation. According to apparently reliable re- ports Villa is between two strong lines of Carranza troops. and his only means of escape is retreat back to Chihuahua. That he may be al- ready seeking this way out was in dicated tonight by a report that part of his troops had appeared at AriZpe, 75 miles southeast Of Naco, and ap- proXimately 100 miles rom the point at which he entered Sonora from Chihuahua before tis disastrous at tempt to take Agua Prieta.
 The dispositions of the opposing armies tonight were approximately as follows:
 Ohregon has about 6500 troops be- tween Villa and the border. They hold positions at points on a line ex- tending from Naco, Sonora, on the border. to Cumpas. about 100 miles south of Agua Prieta.
 Villa. with about 1l.O00 men of all arms, according to the best avail able information. is between this force and the army of General Man uel Diesuez, disposed about Hermo- sillo. the capitol of sonora.
 Charles Randall, Villas governor at Nogales. Sonora. declared yesterday that Villa and the Yaqui chief, Francisco Urbalejo. had actually be- gun an attack on Dieguez at Hermo- sillo. Dieguez. however. has not less than 14.000 men. counting 5000 that have reached him from Guaymas. and it appears that the nearest Villa got to tie state capitol was Carbo. some 43 miles north of Hermosillo and his

FILE TABERNACLE PROTEST
Would Bar Frame Building From Site
Near Baer Home

Reading, Pa. Jan. 22.-Formal pro.
test against the location of the frame
tabernacle for the Slough evangeistic
campaign of six weeks to begin here in
May, at Hill road and Clymer streets,
was filed with Mayor Stratton yester.
day by committee of citizens of this
residential section. headed by Jonathan
Mould and John X. Stauffer, of the
City Planning Commission.
Tie protest came hot upon the heels
of the announcement of the site select
ed, which adjoins Hawthorne, = the
summer residence of the late George f.
Baer. president of the Reading Railway
Company. Use of the plot was granted
by William H. Luden, Readings mil
honaire confectioner. who. by the way,
lives in another part of the town. The
campaign committee announced its in
tention to transfer to the site the tab
ernacle used in a similar campaign in
Harrisburg, and which was purchased
for $4,000.
Mayor Stratton informed his indg-
nant callers yesterday that nothing
could be done until the Slough people
apply for a permit to erect the build
ing, and that the matter will hinge on
whether it violates the city ordinance
as to the erection of frame buildings. 1t
is contended that such buildings may
be put up temporarily. If not permit
ted at Hill road and Clymer streets, it
is not likely that the tabernacle can be
erected anywhere else within the city
limits.
