one of them being company commah--
der and former assistant professor OF
chemistry at Strassburg.
As a raid to-dsy's attack established
a record for the proceedings in the
Somme sector in the last week, which
melted 800 prisoners in what have been
classed as minor operations"
The booty to-day included two ma
chine guns, which were found chained
TO the ground, and one trench mortar.
The Germans have been using these
mortars in lively fashion against the
Canadians recently, and, while it re-
quired a great effort 20 drag it back
over the snow-covered No Mans Land,
the capture of this particular weapon
gave the greatest satisfaction.
No Increase in Fire
This was the second daylight raid
carried out north of Arras by the Ca
nadians, the first resulting in the capt
ure Of sixty prisoners. IL was marked
by many of the same features that
characterize all such daring and sue
cessful undertakings, except in this in
stance there was no marked increase
in the preliminary bombarement. for
the guns, which had been going stead
lily for eight days in this neighborhood,
had cut 10 ribbons the much Wanted
protective barbed wire entanglements.
1t was just after dawn that the Brit
ish barrage began to sweep over nearly
four hundred yards of No Mans Land
that separated the front trenches. As
il formed its curtain shield OF bursting
shells. the Canadians went "oyer the
top" On either flank a smoke bar
rage had been flung out.
Canadians Happy in Snow
Thus sheltered by the artillery, the
Canadians trudgen forward almost
gaily through the snow. 1t was like a
touch Of home 10 them. They encoun-
tered comparatively little resistance
and a very light machine gun fire, and
in a little more than an hour they had
cleaned out two lines of trenches and
returned to their own lines with their
prisoners and booty. The British losses
were exceedingly light and all the casu- !
alties we're brought home. The prison !
ers were mostly Silesisns and Poles. /

nv Cable TO The rnbuns.l

London, Jan. l7.-Greece has yielded
TO the demands Of the Entente in their
entirety. This was announced to-day
bv Sir +. E. II. Elliott, British Minister
at Athens. Venizelists arrested follow
ing the outbreak in Athens are expected
TO be released Immediately.
The decision Of the Greek govern
ment was reached after a conference
between Premier Lambros and Minister
Elliott. at which the British envoy in
sisted that nothing short Of a cate
eorical acceptance Of their demands
would satisfy the Allies.
The first indication of the great part
Italy is to play in Macedonia in the
near future is seen in the announce
ment from Athens that an Italian mill
tary mission has arrived there 10 par
ticipate in the Allied control Of Greece.
A mixed commission Of Entente and
Greek officers will begin Immediately
the carrying out of the military guar
antees. The first step will be the COM
pletion of the transfer Of Greek troops
and munitions in Peloponnesus, which
must be done by January %, according
to the terms of the ultimatum. 1t is re-
ported to be proceeding rapidly.
The next move by the Entente, ac-
cording 10 private advices, will be the
soo,oyaI ~ KING Con stantine who will
be suppsnted by some one in sympathy
with the Allied cause. Unless signs
fail. the new Greek ruler will be thor
oughly in sympathy with the develop
ment Of Italian plans in the Balkans,
and will be assured Of the support Of
the Italian people.
Great satisfaction is expressed here
over the sudden turn Of events in
Greece. II is the general opinion that
there will be little further trouble from
that quarter.

REGULARS ABLE TO GUARD
BORDER NOW, SAYS FUNSTON
Menace of Mexican Raids Reduced,
SAYS General After Trip Over Line

Columbus, n. NJ. Jan. 17.-Maior-
General Frederick Funston. on his re-
turn to-day from visit to the punitive
expedition in Mexico, expressed the
opinion that the menace Of border
raids by Mexican rebels and bandits
had been reduced TO such an extent
that the regular forces now we're suf-
ficient for protective purposes.
"Our frontier is pretty well cleaned
up now" said General Funston, "snd
for the present we do not look for any
more raids across our lire. In the
event of Withdrawal, we shall have
sufficient regulars to forestsll any hos
tile attempts. OF course il would be
pure speculation to say there would
be no more raids. So, although we do
not look fof any, We will be neverthe-
less prepared"
The general will review the troops
here tomorrow and then return to San
Antonio, stopping of at FL Paso.

BRITISH ADMIT
LOSS OF SHIPS
Continued from page l

merchant vessels in the danger zone.
and il is reported that Allied wsrships
are now speeding southwark IN search
Of the raider.
Many Raiders Captured
Reports from Buenos Ayres as to the
identity Of the raider are conflicting
and hazy. Some survivors of the lost
ships are said TO have reported that
the name "Venits." or "Venex," was
plainly painted on the sides Of the
raider, while others declared that the
destroyer was painted black with no
sign Of a name.
Ii is known that for months Germany
mas been building commerce raiders.
The raider that has been working in
the Atlantic is the first one Of these to
slip through the British blockade. Yes
sci after vessel modelled along the
lines OF the Moewe and the Emden has
fallen into the hands of the British
authorities before il could escape to
the open sea. That is probably the
reason that news of the successes Of
the latest terror of the seas has been
kept secret.
The definite reports Of the sinking Of
the ten British and French vessels
clear up several mysteries of the sea.
For weeks several of the ships now
known to have been sunk have been
overdue here or at Liverpool. The dis
appearance Of such large liners as the
Voltaire and the Georgia had puzzled
shipping men for days.
Announcenent Of the wholesale de-
struction of Allied commerce in the
South Atlantic was quickly followed by
n sharp advance in marine insurance
rates here. From 2i1 per cent for West
Indian and South American ports they
jumped TO 10 per cent, and there is
abundant promise Of even higher rates,
in view of the reports from Buenos
Avres of additional victims.
In some quarters it was felt by
underwriters that rates would improve
on the supposition that the raider had
been either sunk or captured. Reports
were current that the Admiralty was
Withholding news Of the sinking Of the
raider.

RUSSIANS PUSH
MACKENSEN BACK
Retake Vadeni, Blocking
German Drive Against
GalatZ
IBy Cable 70 The Tribune

London, Jan. 17.--Striking proof that
Mackensen has at last met his matcn
in the reorganized Russo-Rumanisn
army is furnished by the recapture yes
terday by SakharofF's troops of the
town OF Vadeni, on the railroad be-
tween Brsils and Galatz. and by the ad-
vance of Russian and Rumanian de-
tachments in the mountains of Western
Moldsvis.
Vadeni. one of the main defences OF
the important commercial centre OF
Galatz, was taken by the Teutons Sat-
urday. Yesterday the Russians achieved
its recspture under great difficulties
recrossing the Sereth and moving for
ward over the Danube lowlands under
destructive fire from the German
guns. All efforts Of the enemy to re-
take the town were beaten back with
heavy losses.
Between the Casin and Suchitza val
leys the Rumanians and Russians won
another, though less important, sue
cess. A strongly fortified peak was
stormed and held against counter at
tacks. Elsewhere on this front Won
Gerck held tensciously to his positions
An assault last night won for the
Russians the town of Gerleschi, south
east of the mouth of the Ramnick, but
a counter attack drove them out.
A Reuter- dispatch from Jassy, the
temporary Rumanian capital, dated
January Is, says that, according TO
latest official communications the
German Bulgarian offensive has slack
ened greatly on the whole front. the
attacks being rarer and less furious.
On the occasion of the Orthodox
New Year the King Of Rumania issued
an army order congratulating the
troops on their vslor and expressing
confidence in the future.
