THE WASHINGTON TIMES, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1915.
Karlan government had nolfflfcd .Its dip
lomats of tho mobilization order1, with
the statement that Bulgaria, has de
cided merely to dtmnge from unarhiud
to armed neutrality.
Tho "wording; of this statement led to
'inorexi -m noma ciroioa mat mawiwa- .
Uon will not necessarily be followed bv
Bulgaria's entrance Into tho wnr.
"" """""A'."" "' u.,.ir."ui.j"'"

Rorpe., Copenhagen and Geneva thin
afternoon Increased the feeUnr-of- ps
slmlamhcre. London would not be
HUttirlacd to hear of clashes between the
Serbian and Bulgarian frontier patrols
before tomorrow.
Tho Bulgarian premier's statement to
a deletatloh of deputies that the- mob
ilisation ordor resulted from n "qulckly
dovoloping situation", strengthened the
belief here that Bulgaria will strike
vhen the Austro-Gprmnns nctuailv b
Sln their attompud Invasion" of Serbia
Only brief dispatches from Bucharest
and Athens -were received here this
afternoon. Londcn. howeor. counts
confidently upon the support of the
Greek and Rumanian omuos for the al
lies if Bulgaria enters the war.
Serbia Well Prepared.
Despite Berlin and Vienna dispatches
today, reporting that the Austro-Ger-mans
are bombarding the Serbian river
defenses with the utmost vigor, the
vrMtest confidence is felt in military
circles here that the Serbians Will be
able to withstand the assaults.
"The AUstro-Germans must use at
least 400.000 men to make any headway
at all against Serbia." said ono London
mllltar ycritlc today. "I do not be
lieve they can spare that many men
when you consider the fact that the
Russians arc checking the Germans In
he east and that the aKlser must pre
pare to meet a possible offensive in
France."
Tho Serbian army. It Is known here,
now has large supplies of amunltlon, In
marked contrast to the situation with
the Herbs earlier In the war. since the
Serbians inflicted a crushing defeat
on ttfe Austrlans last December they
have been sunnllcd with every require
ment of a modern army. English offi
cers have assisted in drilling the new
levies, which are well supplied with
iterlal scouts and new field pieces.
The Austro-German bombardment In
dicates a olan to advance along the
Moravia valley. The ground In this
legion elves great natural advantages
to the Serbs.

Chihuahua. 'Villa's capital, has been
captured by the Carranstttaa in a!
sweeping northward movement .OltlclajU
dlsnatches today told of the flight of
Villa's main army to the northern born
der of Chihuahua state.
In the meantime the activity of Gen'
eral Villa's forces is being watched!
with considerable interest. According?!
to official information, he has ordered
a E-nnprnl withdrawal of his forees to
ward .luarei, the purpose apparently
being to transfer them to Sonora. I

Inrldgc, of the War Department, after a,
conference with President Wilson, r-i,
dered the Seventh Infantry and tha
Fourth Field Artillery regiments from
Galveston to strengthen the garrison at
El Paso. Tex., bringing Its full strength
to three regiments of Infantry, a regi
ment of cavalry, and twenty-eight
piece of artillery, a total of about 4,000
men.
, Ftmsten's Forces.
In the district east and west of SI
Paso, Major General Funston has In all
about 14.000 men, while In tho vicinity of
Brownsville he has 6,000 men. The
Twenty-eighth Infantry has been left
at Galveston, and may be ordered to
San Antonio, Tex., so as to be available
at either Brownsville or El PaSo, ac
cording as circumstances may require.
"Villa's military strength is crushed,"
was the informal official interpretation,
of State Department dispatches today
that his army had nbandoned Chihua
hua and fled northward to the Chl-hauhua-Sonora
line to make a forlorn
stand against the sweeping movement
of Carranslatas.
The VUllstas are reported retreating
Into Sonora to Join General Meytoreoa s

Two Americans. E. P. Fuller and a
ranchman named McCabe. hare been
kidnaped by Mexican bandits, the
State Department was advised today.
The Americans were taken from a
ranch between Juares and Chihuahua
and nre being held for ransom. The
State Department today sent a demand
to American consuls at both places, de
manding their release by the Mexican
authorities. .
A new plan of Carransa to attack
Gusvmas. on the west coast, was Indi
cated In State Department advices.
Three hundred Carranilsta troop board

reported en route to Guaymas. Vllllste
General Iturbe has deserted to Carransa
and been appointed military commander
at Collma.
Belated reports to the department
conflict with the advices that Villa has
entirely exacuated Torreon and Chihua
hua, up until Monday, me vtuista gar
rison at Torreon and Durango had not
evacuated, but were prepared to leave.
Ono hundred Americans left Torreon
Monday. Twenty Americans and nearly
all other foreigners remained. That
the Carransosta forees were not ad
vancing against Torreon was officially
reported. Plans of Carranza to permit
a neutral administration to preserve
order there wee announced.

deefs ration that the President can
"force" the House and flenata to his
will were not regarded as technical
breaches of etiquette by an ambassador,
thV arousad resoniment at the white
As regards Gsrman Military Attacho
von Papen, the Archibald lottors show
that he used Archibald as a carrier of
both official and personal papers. The
former Is the graver oltcnso, in the
minds of officials, That his usefulness
is at an end so far as this Government
la concerned, and that he will be with
drawn by Ambassador Bernstorff,
either with or without the suggestion
of the State Department, was generally
believed certain.
Whether Von Pepen meant to refer to
all Americans as T'ldlotlc Yankees," or
onlv to certain Individuals, was an ele
ment In Von Papcn's enso. The expres
sion, coming from an uccrcdltcd diplo
matic representative, was regarded,
however, as at least, unfortunate.
Nuber In Dumba'a Position.
Revelation that Austrian Consul Gen
eral Nuber had sent an official roport
to his foreign office by Archibald was
officially regarded as placing him In
Dumba's position, of having abused an
American passport. It Is understood
Nuber's credentials will be canceled and
also those of Consul Schwegel, who sent
a formal -report regarding the proposed
munitions embargo.
OffW4ala were still undetermined to
da acgardlnt- What action may be
taws, against Oia Hungarian newspa
per editor, who submitted a memoran
dum outlining plans for the strikes
proposed bv Ambassador Dumba. The
faot that tho editor proposed paying
union "aaltators" to foment strikes, and
also subsidizing newspapers was a
basis. It was believed, for a charge of
"conspiracy."
Bernstorff Not Censured.
Ambassador Bernstorff Is regarded by
the Government as not being Implicated
in any wrongdoing In the Archibald In
cident. The letters show that Bern
storfTs action consisted only of giving
Archibald letters of Introduction, ana
to expedite his travel.
The fact that Bemstorffs note o
Secretary Lansing denying charges of
ti German propngan Jft conspiracy wis
previously forwarded to the department
and a copy merely sent by Archibald
was not considered a breach of eti
quette. Tho Bernstorff note had also
been previously published.
Officials and diplomats were greatly
Interested today In the statements In
the Dumba notes that President Wil
son has had this country's possible
future interests in view In refusing an
arms embargo.
That the President "at no price and
in no case" will take a position that
would Imperil this Government's right
to purchase war supplies from neutrals
In time of war. particularly when the
chief source of supply would be in for
eign countries, was regarded as most
significant.
That Dumba has consulted with Col.
E. M. Heuse, the President's closest
personal friend and advisor, regarding
the President's position on a munitions
embargo, was another Interesting dls
cloiure. Meat Case Interests Officials.
Alleged threats of Chicago packers, as
declared by Dumba, to cut off Eng
land's meat supply, both from the
United States and Argentina, excited
much comment. In view of the recent
British prize court decision confiscating
millions of dollars worth of American
meat. Officials said the knew of no
definite flan hy the packers, who con
trol the Argentine export traae as
well as tho American. Rerusal of pri
vate manufacturers to sell goods to any
British or other firm would not be Il
legal, It was stated.

Rheumatism Due to Bad Blood. S. S. S, Your Remedy
Thousands have been made well. People In the poorest health, suffer
ing from Rheumatism, with whom pain was constant. Who believed that
their vltaky was supped beyond repair. It was proven to them that the
causa of their trouble was tho blood; that Uric Acid, the most faithful ally
of Rheumatism, had gripped them. The poison In the blood had sapped Its
strength. The weakened blood had allowed poison and Impurities to accu
mulate, and all energy was gone. They felt "poorly," were listless, pain
was eve,r present, with poor digestion and dyspepsia. They tried S. 8. S.,
nature's blood tonic. They gave up drugs. This compound of nature's
remedies of roots and herbs did what drugs failed to do. It literally
washed the blood free from poison, and with tho flow of pure blood cam
back health, strength, vigor, and happiness. Get . 8. S. from.ybur drug
