This wedge which the German commander has driven into Russia’s defense seriously endangers both Dvinsk and Vilna. The latter town, which the Russians once before evac- uated, again has been left to an army whicl h will attempt only to delay the German advance. All government institutions and most of the factories already have been re- moved to places of safety, and the civil population left long ago. Probably a more determined effort will be made to hold on ti Dvinsk, which, situated as it is, he broad anud fast flowing River Dvina, csn offer a stronger resistance. German Center Advances. Along the rest of the eastern front there has been little change in the sit- uation. The German center has made a further slight advance and must be nearing the railway east of Pinsk, pos- session of which would separate the ‘northern and southern wings of the Russian armies side operating on either of the Pripet marshes. The Rus- slans always have affected to disregard such a contingency, however, claiming the two armies are able to operate in- dependently of each other, and conse- quently a pol to th continue their offensive from int east of Kovel through Galicia e Rumanian frontier.

Rumania alone appears to be definitely on the side of ths quadruple entente. Greece apparently has decided to maintain her any neutyality, for the time being, at rate. Meanwhile the allied troops on the Galligoli’ peninsula are taking a long rest, which is only occasionally dis- turbed by Turkish artillery. In repef the west there has been only a tition of artillery engagements, with the novelty of a German grenade attack near Perthes which the German | report savs gave them possession of a | portion of a French trench.

Austen Chamberlain and Earl of Sel- borne and Sir Edward Carson, the con- screptionist members, are said to be thre atening to resign unless Premier ‘Asquith, First Lord of the Admiralty Balfour, Eir Bdward Grey, Lord Kitch- ener and other cabinet members adopt their chosen policy. Lacking positive statements Premier Asquith and Lord Kitchener that compulsory service is necessary for the safety of the country, the sys- + tem the is likely to find little support in present parliament with the rad- icals laborites and nationalists op- posed to it. Many members opposed o conscription are prepared to accept, how ever, the verdict of the premier and war secretary on the question of which now is a subject of serious con- sideration in the cabinet.

After the fight one Carranza soldier was taken at Mata- moros, probably fatally wounded, but tonight Carranaz officers denied em- phatically that any of their men join- ed in the battle. Colonel A. P. Blockson, American commander at Fort Brown here, re- ported to Major General Funston at San Antonio tonight that he Mexicans started the firing near Brownsville. Immediately after the battle a small mob formed in Matamoros about the headquarters of General E. P. Nafar- .

How the Trouble Started. The trouble at Brownsville began when Juan Diego, a Mexican resident of Brownsville, reported to Colonel Blockson that for two or three days snipers on the Mexican side had been shooting into his ranc hon the river- front. This morning, Diego said, a bullet struck -his house and another killed one of his horses. Colonel Block- son sent Lieutenant E. L. N.

Fired on American Lieutenant, He divided his command into squads, sending one up the river and himself leading the other down the river. Gla8s himself went out upon the river, when half a dozen rifies opened fire on him. Glass replied with a pistol, while his men came forward on a run, opening fire on the Mexicans. Firing Died Down. The firing died down when the Glass detachment had used a few rounds. His men reported they saw two Mexi. cans run to cover and also reported they could see seven or eight {other men approaching from up the river on the Mexican side. However, before, these reinforcements reached the Mexi- can position they were engaged by the detachment which Glass had sent up the river. Then a lull came and two Mexican officers rode up, Waving their swords. Glass stepped from cover, signalling that he wished to-talk..
