OFFICIALLY STATED American Minister Vopica Notilies U. . of Mobilization Decree Washington, Sept. 25.—American Minister Vopica at Bucharest, also | three ships. reasonable | accredited to Bulgaria, telegraphed the' state department today that Bul- gaia’s mobilization had been officially announced. Italy Still Hopeful. Rome, Sept. 24, via Parls, Sept. 25, 5 a. m.—Although it is admitted Bul- garian mobilization is a significant act capable of precipitating hostilities with Serbia, it is thought hére events still may prevent Bulgaria from em- barking upon so perilous an enter- prise. Reports received from Bucharest indiacte that the Bulgarian mobiliza- tion order is considered in Rumania to presage hostilites. It is said that impressive anti-German manifesta- tions there have resulted in the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, personal representative of Emperor Willlam, hastening his departure for Berlin. Allies Not Surprised. Paris, Sept. 25, 4:55 a. m.—The al- led chancellories were not surprised at the action of Bulgaria, according to the Petit Parisien, which usually is well informed on diplomatic subjects. The quadruple entente powers repre- sentatives are said to have been con- ferring during the past week as to the best means of acting with a maximum of force in the Balkans, as they at- tached little faith to the declarations of Premier Radolsavoff. They now are in a position to strike quickly there should the necessity arise, it is asserted, as there are important re- serves at the Dardanelles which can be augmented quickly. Premier Venizelos of Greece, the Petit Parisien’s Rome correspondent says, has affirmed the necessity for an agreement between Greece, Ru- mania, and Serbia in order to force the Bulgaria government to consider carefully the possible results before it takes positive action.

In addition battery drills, bayonet exercises, demonstra- tions of first aid to the wounded, use of wireless stations, rough riding, ma- chine gun drills use of motorcycles and aerial signal bombs were on the day’s program.

GEORGB A, QUIGLEY. Mayor of the City of New Britain, WAR WITH BULGARIA (Continued from First Page.) Magyars were killed in a bayonet ac- tion. In fights for the possession of the fords of the river Styr, a short distance above the villages above mentioned, we have taken another thousand prisoners in the course of the last few days. “From the direction of Potchiev the eremy delivered several counter at- tacks, pressing our troops somewhat. Near the village of Khmiedevka, scuthwest of Trembowla, the enemy was driven back still farther west.” Three Distinct Victories. London, Sept. 25, 12:26 p. m.—The position of the Russians from Vilna to the Galician frontier appears to have been improved greatly, three distinet victaries having been record- ed almost simultaneously at widely scattered points on the eastern front. This achievement has mitigated to some extent the uneasiness felt in England as to the attitude of Bul- garia, In the far north the situation is less favorable for the Russians. They are resisting Field Marshal Von Hin- denburg’s men with characteristic stubbornness, but the admission that fighting is proeeding at Smielin, three miles from Novo Alexandrovsk, indicates that the approaches to the latter town are in the hands of the Germans and that the fate of Dvinsk is in doubt. ) Russians Score Heavily. East of Vilna, nerth of Pinsk and in the vicinity of Lutsk, the Russians have scored heavily. The Germans characterize their réverse east of Vilna—that is, at the Vileika Rail- way junction—as of a temporary character, notwithstanding their losses of guns and prisoners. Near Pinsk Field Marshal Von Mackensen was thrown back in an engagement that has shaken his grip on the city. Further south the Russians, now hold- ing Lutsk, are pressing their advan- tage, and seem to be assuming the dominancy on the southern end of the line in a manner recalling the fighting of last spring. Athens states that mobilization is proceeding today, and that thousands of men are already in uniform. It is predicted that within a few days a majority of the reservists will have joined the colors. British Bombard Zeebrugge. Amsterdam, Sept. 25, via London, 2:27 p. m.—British warships again bombarded the Belgian town of Zee- brugge this morning. Three ships were engaged- The flashes cf their heavy guns were visible on the Dutch coast. Artillery Engagements. Paris, Sept. 25, 2:40 p. m.—There has been no cessation in the con- tinued artillery activity along the bat- tle line in France, according to the announcement given out at French war office this afternoon. Among the points mentioned where there have been artillery engagements are the Artois district; south of the river Somme ; north of the Aisne and along the canal from the Aisne to the Marne and in the Champagne dis- trict. German Attack Repulsed. Continuing, the report says that a fresh German attack near Man- hoff was completely repulsed. A squadron of French aeroplanes yes- terday bombarded the railroad station at Metz. GREEKS ARE NOT!FIED Rescrvists Urged to Rally to Colors, But Not in New Britain. Hartford, Sept. 25.—Grecek re- servists in this city received orders Friday night from the consul gereral of Greece stationed in New York to return to Greece and report to the colors, About 200 are said to be af- fected, but a well known local Greek said today he did not belicve more | than fifty would respond. Mar-~ of these latter drew their money from banks today and will report to the consul general at once. The Greck government pays all railroad fare and steamer transporia- tion. In New Britain the Greek coleny is comparatively small and to date none of the Grecian reservists has re- ceived word to rally to the colors ac- | cording to a statement made this afterncon by one Greek. Jt is not thought that there wiil be more than twenty-five or fifty Greeks afiected by the call here. BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.

Cosgrove, who returns to duty tomorrow fol- lowing a brief illness, has just r-ceived a letter from his son, Timothy Cos- grove, who is serving in the machine gun division of the Eighth I-fantry, United States army, stationed in the northern Philippines. In this letter Cosgrave tells of an unusual experience he had when, several weeks ago, he was doing duty in the southern islands. While there he'met a Captain Michael O’Keefe of the Forty-second Philippine scouts. It was not until he had been trans- ferred, however, that he learned that Captain O'Keefe ‘was a brother of Dennis O’Keefe of the local police de- partment and an assoclate of his own father in the police department. In the letter home Cosgrove sent a paper stating that Captain O’Keefe had been granted a three months’ leave of a .- sence and would leave for the United States on September 15. He is now on the Pacific en route for San Fran- cisco and will visit New Britain to re- new old acquaintances before he re- turns to the post. After having served the required two years in the Philippines, Cos- grove has applied for a transfer and expects to leave for the Texas-Mex- ican border about November 1, where he hopes to see some active service.

Officers went up from here but found na one in the vicinity of the farm. The express passed through here as usual. FREIGHTER FEMDIJK SUNK.
