London, June 19.-The British
transport Cameronian has been tor
pedied and sunk in the eastern Medi.
terranean, with a loss Of sixty.three
aboard, according to an admiralty
statement. The missing are presumed
to have drowned.
London.-A Teuton submarine prob
ably has been sunk by Japanese war
ships in the Mediterranean, it was an
nounced.
Important developments are fore
Swallowed on the Macedonian front
following the abdication Of King Con-
stantine by reports of a withdrawal
by the British, without pressure, OF
their advanced positions east of the
Struma river on the extreme easterly
end of the front, and pronounced re-
connoitering activity by the entente
forces along the Vardar.
1t has been pointed out frequently
by military observers that virtually
the only practicable route for a sue
cessful advance to cut the lines Of
the central powers IN the Balkans and
reclaim Serbia Is up the Vardar val
ley, along the railway line there. The
present activities eem to point to the
probability that an offensive by Gen.
Sarrail in the only likely sector-that
embracing the Vardar AREAS immi-
nent.
Had this been decided, 1t would be
a natural move for the British to re-
linquish the advanced ground they
held along the Struma and withdraw,
as they have done, to the bridgehead
near the river, thereby strengthening
the entente right flank for defensive
purposes, while the offensive stroke
was delivered by the center. 1t would
seem an aggressive move has been
made possible by the removal OF the
menace to the allies from the rear
which existed as long as Constantine
was on the Greek throne and his pro-
German political advisers in control
Of the Greek military situation.
Both the Russian army and the
Russian navy are giving more evi.
dence of aggressive intent.
The Russian naval arm also has
been so largely in evidence in Baltic
waters that Berlin announces it has
been found necessary to carry out ex.
tensive air raiding operations on Rus.
sian bases In this area.
In the Arras battle area the Brit
ish were subjected to a heavy counter
attack on the new position they won
east of Monchy lie Preux. They held
fast to the main point, the important
Infantry hill, but had to fall back from
some positions they had established
farther in advance.
Recent German and Austrian state
ments have instanced increasing &C
tivities by the Russian military forces
in various sectors, notably Volhynia
and Galicia, where the great Brussil'
off offensive was in full swing at this
time a year ago.
.'Paris.-With the spirit Of revolution
seething in Spain, a movement has

archist reform party headed by Senior

publicas form Of government.

launched here In favor Of Mexico'e
