Diplomatic representatives here of
several South American governments

action as the United States. Similar

from the governments of all the other
American republics. The time of
recognition will be fixed then.
European governments. it is under
stood, will follow the lead of the Unit
ed States and the other American re
publics. Great Britain and France, it
is known, have intimated that this
would be their policy, and it is be-
lieved here Germany and Italy will do
likewise, both having maintained an
accredited agent to General Carranza
for some time.

PRESIDENT WILSON AND sEcRE.
TARY DANIELS AGREE SUCH
ACTION is NECESSARY.
VIII Ask Congress for Fifteen to
Twenty Fighting Ships and More
Men In Endeavor TO Prepare
Adequate Defense.

ashington-Fifteen to twenty
fighting ships of the dreadnaught and
battle cruiser type with a proportion
ate number of seagoing submarines,
coast submarines. scout cruisers, de-
stroyers and auxiliaries-enough to
make a new American fleet-is con
templated by Secretary Daniels as
recommendation for a five-year build
ing program for the United States
navy.
President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels have discussed informally the
needs of the navy and are agreed that
In order to he adequately prepared for
defense the present strength of the
feet must be almost doubled in the
next five years. with the addition of
many OF the latest type of fast and
powerful fighting craft.
The five-year naval program when
completed would add, in addition to
dreadnaughts and battle cruisers,
nearly q hundred submarines, about
seventy destroyers and several scout
cruisers and proportionate number
OF fuel and hospital ships.
An important part of the program,
too, will be a proposal for large in
crease in personnel Appropriation
for at least 5000 additional men will
be asked for the first year totmake up
present deficiencies and an adequate
number will be sought to man the new
ships built in the fiYe-year period.

BULGARIANS BEGIN
ATTACK on SERBIA
SERBS RESIST ATTACK ON TWO
FRONTS, BUT ARE NOT Elk
PEcTED TO HOLD OUT.
II is Reported From London That
Russia Will Send Army Under
Grand Duke Nicholas to Assist
Her Allies in Balkans.

Observation-Disclosures army OF 100000
men has actively entered the war on
the side of the central powers.
Striking both northeast and south
east Of Nish, Bulgarian forces have at
tackled Serbia at Gariboghaz, near
Kniashtvatz and at Vlass1na (prob
ably Vlassinitza) and at Zasitchar,
further to the south.
The object of the attack on Carl
boghaz is to reach and cut the rail-
road running northeasterly from .Nish
to the Roumanian border. Once this
line was cut, it would be impossible
to send any munitions into Serbia
rom Roumania.
The attacks to the southeast of
Nish-at Vlassinitza and Zasitchar-
are aimed at the Belgrade Nish- Uskub
Saloniki railroad the sole line over
which Anglo-French reinforcements
could reach Serbia from Greece.
Coincident with these moves ON the
part OF Bulgaria, Great Britain sew
cred all diplomatic relations with
King Ferdinand's government. The
Bulgarian minister to London was
handed his passports Tuesday even
ing. The British minister to Sofia has
received his passports and left the
Bulgarian capital Tuesday evening.
Although serious view is taken
in London of the Balkan situation, the
tense feeling was somewhat relieved
by the announcement of Premier Viv.
iani in the French chamber that Rus
sian troops would soon be opposing
the Bulgarians, and that there was
perfect accord between France, Eng.
land and Russia.
The French claim to have captured
several German trenches, after heavy
fighting with hand grenades and bay
onets. Berlin contradicts this claim,
asserting that the French attacks
broke down all along the line and that
in only two places did the French
even succeed in reaching the German
first line.
In Russia the fighting continues,
each side claiming to have made ad-
vances.

he would not hold himself responsible

American Consul Edwards of Juar

Half a dozen foreigners arrived
from Chihuahua City Sunday. They
declared they came only on business
and expected to return.

From a military source 1t was
learned that General Villa had de
clared to Mr.. Carothers that the
United States and other foreign ma.
lions could not now hold him respon.
sible for what happened to their ma.

and his bands would commit no depre
