CAPTURE OF HILL WEST OF
FLORlNA, WHICH HAD BEEN
STRONGLY FORTIFIED. 80.
COUNTER ATTACK CHECKED
French Artillery Caused an Outbreak
of Flames in Doiran, and French
Troops Made Progress on
Their Left Wing.

Paris.-Russian troops on the west
ern end of the Macedonian front took
the offensive. The war office announc-
ed that they had captured Hill 916,
west Of Florina, which had been for
tilted strongly by the Bulgarians. A
Bulgarian counter attack was check

vance to the north of Florida.

st. Francis Levee Board Desiring to
Be On the Safe Side and Give

There was a great demonstration
at Barfeld, several miles east Of
Blytheville, when the populace sighted
a large government feet coming down
the Mississippi River and headed in
at the Darneld port, where they tied
up. 1t was the bank revetment fleet,
and engineers Of the government
which arrived from st. Louis to start
work on reyeting the bank at Bar
field, Huffman and Stick River. The
land owners at Barfeld have been
watching the banks tumble into the
river opposite the village for years,
and a few months ago the caying
reached their fine levee, said to De
the best in the system, cutting the
levee in half. The leyee did not
cave another foot at llat point, but
without protection the first high wa
ter would endanger the finest body
of land in the st. Francis valley.
A force of men are cutting willows
with which the large mats are con-
structed a few miles above Barfield
and the work of clearing the banks
for revetment started at once.
The st. Francis levee board, desir-
ing to be on the saIe side and give
the land owners certain protection,
let the contract to Lorenz Bros, for
a loop to the levee which is to be a
mile long. The loop leaves Barfield
in front of the levee, but in case the
bank revetment work meets with no
obstacles and is prevented from rur-
ther caving, the loop will not be nee
essary and in time will be leveled.

Athens.-The Greek government is

will mean Greeces entry into the war.
II the uncertainty Of the relations be-
tween Greece and the entente contin-

that Greece may declare war on Bull
garia on her own account.
Semi-official efforts Of the cabinet
to ascertain from the entente minis

fruitless. The ministers were given
to understand that as many as three
members of the Greek cabinet were

PART OF CARRANZA
GARRISON DESERTED
VILLA LEFT CHIHUAHUA JOINED
BY 1000 OR MORE ADDl-
TlONAL MEN.

Washington.-The most detailed
accounts yet received Of the fighting
at Chihuahua City when Villa cele-
brated the Mexican Independence dav
by successful assault on the Car
rama garrison, reached the War De-
partment from Brig.-Gen. Geo. Bell,
commanding the FL Paso military dis
trict. 1t asserts that Villa personally
led the attacking, forces; that he took
and held numerous and important
buildings in the city for several
hours; that he was joined by a thou
sand or more men of the Carranza
garrison and retired, promising to re-
turn soon, and taking with him a
large quantity of captured arms, am
munition and artillery.
Gen. Bells dispatch does not show
the source Of his information and
many officials believe his account Of
the incident was founded on rumorS
reaching the border as were various
stories which have been transmitted
by State Department agents. They
were inclined to believe for that rea-
son that the full truth of what trans
pired is not yet known.
Reports so far received are similar
only in that they show fight did &C.
cur on september 16 and that the Viii
la followers took the penitentiary
and some other buildings. They all
conflict, as to the part Villa played,
not even agreeing that he was
present.

London.-Athens is filed with ru-
mors that 300 men of the crew OF the
cruiser Averoff have mutinied, ac-
cording to a dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company. The report says
that the remainder Of the crew and
detachments of marines we're sent
away in boats. Other ships of the
fleet are said to have quelled the
mutlny.
The Averoff is an armored cruiser
built in March, 1910. She carries a
crew of $50 men.
Former Premier Venizelos Of
Greece. in an interview cabled from
Athens to the Petit Journal, declares
that the Greeks must defend their
national interests regardless Of the
government. NJ Venizelos is quoted
as saying:
although Roumania entered the
struggle, the court party which gov
erns us seems to persist in the poll
CIV Of what it calls neutrality. This
policy is persisted in even after the
shameful Kavala incident. You ask
me what the future will bring. am
not in the position to answer, but
certainly something must be at
tempted if Greece does not wish to
die.
What was done at Saloniki,
Though improvised and precipitate,
and recent manifestations in the IS
lands of the archipelago, show that
everyone realizes that if the govern
ment has forgotten lLs duty toward
the nation the nation must itself i'm
mediately take in hand the defense
of it's own interests"
