RUSSIANS MASS TROOPS IN
 POLAND

BERLIN, March 22. - The war of flee issued an official bulletin today, reporting a Russian offensive along a wide front, extending from Koyel to CzartoryZk. in southern Poland. The Russians had evidently prepared for a surprise attack, for they had massed a great number of troops here. The condition of the country is hardly suitable for military evolutions on a large scale, as the winter still has a firm grip on the country, the roads being filled with snow and the wealth CT cold. The bulletin states that the Germans were able to hold their ground at all points, and that the Rus sians have not succeeded in gaining any successes.

WANT PEACE IN THEIR OWN
 TERMS

WASHINGTON, March 2. - Pre- sident Wilson resents the stories that are being circulated to the effect that the administration has information that Germany is preparing to make moves looking towards peace. The state department announced today that it has absolutely no information tending to support these rumors. The American ambassadors in the various war capitals have all made cOnfiden tiaI reports to President Wilson that in their opinion there were no better prospects for peace at this time than there has been at any period during the last six months. All of the bellig- erents are ready for peace, provided it can be had on their own terms. The possibilities of this are so remote that it may safely be said that there are no peace prospects at this time.

GERMANS FORGE FRENCH TO
 RETREAT

PARIS. March 22. - The French official war cOmmunique issued this morning, said that there had been no infantry attacks along the fighting front north of Nerdun last night. The Germans were continuing their heavy bonn mbardment of the French positions at Melancourt. a trifle west of the furthest point essayed by the Teutons in their last great attack, which re- suited in forcing the French to re- treat in places as far as the first line of armored forts defending the city, at Vaux and Douamont. The French are replying vigorously to the Ger man bombardment. and in this section the roar of the guns is continuous. The artillery exchanges are of much less intensity east of the Mouse.

BUCHAREST, March %. - A Rus- sian warship sank the German steam CT Esperansa today in the Black sea, short distance off the Roumanian coast. The Esperansa was loaded with seven thousand tons of foodstuffs for Constantinople, which had been trans ported down the Danube from Ger many and Austria.

S50,000,00Q FUR ARMOR PLATE:
 PLANT

WASHINGTON. March 22. - The bill introduced by Senator Tillman, providing for the erection of a gov ernmant armor plate plant. was passed by the Senate yesterday. It was trans ferred to the House committee today. The bill has attracted a great deal of attention, appropriating as it does, fifty million for the purpose. and en- tering the government as direct competitor with the big steel plants of the country. The bill has occas- toned considerable remarkable dis closures in the Senate concerning the methods of the steel trust. and the eXtortionate prices that have been charged the government for armor plate. The Bethlehem Steel Company today made an offer to the govern ment to take thirty dollars ton off the usual price by reducing the charge to the government from s425 per ton to $395.

WAR DECLARED ON UNCLE SAM
 BY LEADER MEXICAN ARMY

ceiyed from the American expedition ary force in sixty hours. The tele- gram is dated from the Mexican Nor mon colony at Casas Grandes, and tells of a battle between the Carranza and Nillaista forces last Monday, which was fought near Namiquipa. Pershing said that an American aero plane was in communication with this battle, and brought the report of it to the American troops. The Ameri- can cavalry are advancing in several distinct columns. The Seventh U. S. cavalry is already sixty miles south of Casas Grandes, and two other ad- vance columns of cavalry are push ing southward in the same general direction. Pershing says that so far there has been no clashes between his men and the Villa bandits.

 SAN ANTONIO, March 22. - A re- port was received here late this af- ternoon to the effect that General Herrera, who has been the Carranza in Chihuahua city. had re- volted against the Carranza govern ment, because of the latter's assent to the presence of American troops in Mexico. Herrera declared war on the United States, and promised his sup port to General Villa. The report was received from reliable sources in Mexico, and has more foundation than a mere idle rumor, although it has not as yet been confirmed. Funston refused to comment on the matter

Herrera had been relieved from his command by General Carranza before he announced that he had reyolted, as he had previously incurred the dis pleasure of the Mexican leader. The movement, if started. is considered only q spiteful act against Carranza, and the army officials are inclined to attach not much importance to it.

MEXICAN DOLLAR WORTH Z GENT
 OUR MONEY .

SAN ANTONIA, March 9. - The value of the Mexican dollar issued by the Carranza government reached a new low record today. when 1t was quoted at two cents in American money. Carranza's paper money is plentiful along the Mexican border, but it takes a whole lot of it to buy a decent meal in an American restau- rant. The money is also recognized by the local banks, who have done thriving business in exchanging it for American cash. The highest point that the Carranza paper dollar reached al any time was ten cents.

soldiers have heartily cooperated with the Americans, but in order to fore stall unfavorable developments, addi- tional troops are being mobilized by the war department near the Mexican border. The new protocol between the United States and Mexico will be eff fective in a few days, but 1t will be necessary to get the signature of the high contracting parties before 1t can be officially published. The present draft of the agreement is eminently satisfactory to the administration, and as 1t was suggested by Carranza, it will undoubtedly be signed by him.

GREECE COULD NOT JOIN THE TEUTONS WITHOUT STARVING
 IS DAVIS OPINION
tContinued from Page one)

That is true, but you cannot get along without Frances wheat"
 The allies are not going to Lombard
 Greek ports or shell the Acropols They
 will not even blockade the ports. But
 their fleets, French, Italian, English, will stop all ships taking foodstuffs to Greece. They have just released seven grain ships from America that were held up at Malta, and ships carrying food to Greece have been stopped at points as far away as Gibraltar. The steamer on which we came here from Naples was held up at Messina for "A hours until her cargo was overhauled.
 As we had nothing in the hold more health sustaining than hides and barbed wire, we were allowed to proceed. What ever course Greece follows, her depend ence upon others for food explains her act Today, November 29 there is not enough wheat in the country to feed the people for, some say three, the most op- | timistic, 10 days. Should she decide to join Germany, she would starve. It would be deliberate suicide. The French and Italian fleets are at Malta, less than a
 day distant, the English fleet is off the Gal'ipoli peninsula. Fifteen hours steam ing could bring 1t to Saloniki
 Greece is especially vulnerable from the sea. She is all islands, coast towns and seaports. The German navy could not help her. It will not leave the <iel canal. The Austrian navy cannot leave Trieste. Should Greece decide against the allies, | their combined warships would pick up
 her islands and blockade her ports. In a l week she would be starving. The rail- l road from Bulgaria to Saloniki, over which in peace times comes much wheat from Roumania, would be closed to her.
 Even if the Germans and Bulgarians suc- ceed in winning it to the coast, they could get no food for Greece further than that They have no warships, and the Gulf of Salonki is full of those of the allies.
 The position of King Constantine is very difficult. He is strongly pro- German and the reason for his symathy that is given here is the same as is accepted in Amer ica. Every act of his is supposed to be inspired by his sympathies. when, in sev- eral instances, he has been actuated solely
 by what he thought was best for his own people. Indeed, there are many who be- 'ieve if the terms upon which Greece | might join the allies had been left to the 1 King, instead of to Venizelos, Greece would now be with the entente.
 | As long ago as when the two German cruisers escaped from Messina and were sold to Turkey, the diplomatic represents tives of the allies in the Balkans were instucted to see thatS Turkey and Ger | many did not get together, and that, as a balance of power in case of such a
 union, the Balkan states were kept in line Instead of attending to this themselves the diplomats placed this delicate lob in l the hands of one man. At the framing ot the treaty of London, of all the repre-

 Everybody is afraid of a red-headed woman, somehow" MT. Carson said thoughtfully. Their reputation for being high-tempered is worldwide and they cer- tainly do make you stand around when they are bossng the job The funniest ex- periences I've ever had with red-headed women have been when I've sent out in yitations to all the red-headed women in town to be my guests at a matinee.
