JUAREZ, Mex, Dec. 2.-An official dispatch from Mexico City saying that General Murguia had defeated Villa troops that tried yesterday to block his advance and was moving on Chi huahua today, received confirmation here in a report by direct line from Sauz to the effect that Murguia and Trevino had already joined forces and were attacking the city on the south side today.
 General Murguia and his division had puzzled the Carranza authorities here for some days, and even started a rumor that he had withdrawn to Tor reon. It is now officially said that his slow progress north from his base at Escalon, about lS5 miles south of Chi huahua, was due to the effective wrecking of the Mexican Central track by Villa.
 General Ozuna is to be stationed to the north of Chihuahua City with a strong government force.
 No details of the fighting have been received, however But a high officer here said he would not be surprised to get news at any time that Villa had evacuated. As trains supposed 10 be filled with loot were leaving Chihuahua west over the line of the Mexico North western several days ago. he said he assumed that Villa would take that di- rection.
 No Villa bands have been reported north of Sauz. which is 25 miles north from Chihuahua City.

 The political crisis is the chief topic of discussion in the sunday news papers. The Weekly Dispatch says it's origin is due to the fact that David Lloyd George proposed the formation of n small war council. including Sir Edward Carson. but excluding Premier Asquith and A. j Halfour first lord of the admiralty. Both Carson and Lloyd George. the Weekly Dispatch adds. are not unwilling that A BQnar Law should have d seat in the council, but he Is undecided.

 Unfortunately it has not been pos sible for us, up to this moment. to obtain the necessary guarantees that Greece, in entering into the European conflict would not be going to inevi- table destruction.
 Tn remaining neutral. the Greek government had in mind solely Greek interests, and not sympathy with one of the two groups of helligerents The geographical situation of Greece makes the application of its policy of neutrality very difficult: it is for that reason that she has been forced to submit to the occupation by foreign arms of her Macedonian provinces and to permit the belligerents to dispose of her ports, public houses and works of art: that her highways and rail- roads have been taken and tunnels worth many millions have been com pletely destroyed.

For long time Greece has been able to import from abroad only what is absolutely indispensable to feed and sustain the country and to furnish for it's commerce. both by land and sea, the necessary fuel.

WASHINGTON, Dec "A note de- nouncing as "a serious infringement of sovereign rights" the allied demand for surrender of Greek arms and am munition to the anglo French expe- dition at Saloniki, and pleading for the sympathetic understanding of the
 United States in the painful circum- stances" surrounding the Greek gov ernment and people, was delivered to the state department today by 4. Vouros. charge of the Greek legation.
 The communication sets forth at
 length the efforts of Greece to main
 tain neutrality and gives notice that
 the Greek government "has jejected and will continue to reject this last demand" No official explanation of the causes which led the government
 to recede from that decision has
 reached Washington. but from the strong language of the note, officials infer that extreme pressure must have been exerted before the arms and ann intuition were given up.
 During his visit to the state depart
 ment. Charge Vouros talked over the
 whole Greek situation with Counsellor | Polk, but neither had anything to say regarding the conference. IL is under stood that communications similar to those addressed to the United States
 have gone to all neutral governments and that the step was intended pri-
 marily to create a proper understand ing among neutral peoples of the diff ficulties in which Greece has found herself
 As presented by the charge, the communication was in the form Of a copy of a note handed to American
 minister Droppers at Athens on No
 vember 2S and signed by acting for eign minister Zalocostas.
 The communication to the state de- pertinent was in French. It said: From the beginning of the Euro- pean war the Greek government, con- ! scious of it's duties for the defense of

 WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-Congress began arriving in the capital in for Q tonight for the opening session Mon day. Returning members talk of new

Surface indications give assur- ance that the hign cost Of living will be at least a subject of many pro posals. ranging from an embargo on food exports to official investigation of alleged cOnspiracies to inflaie prices.
 congressmen appreciate that rail- road problems. conservation legisla- ton. immigration. suffrage. national prohibition. corrupt practice measures and other unfinished business will be pressed. for consideration. and that efforts may be made to investigate al- legged election frauds and expenditures of the national campaign.
 Those subjects at present are over | shadowed by the high prices of food and measures for relief.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Appointmen of

The President said he felt very deeply
concerned over the situation caused by
increased prices of foodstuffs and was
giving the question very serious consid-
Grafton. He did not disclose what he in
tends to do, although he has under con-
sideration a special message to Con
gress on the question.
The President objected to the plan OF
commission without congressional
authority on the ground that it would
not have power to compel witnesses tc
testify. The committee of labor leaders
left the White House, however, under
the impression that the President would
take some step to meet the situation.
The committee also urged the Presi-
dent to use his influence to have Con-
gress pass the vocational educational
