ALLIES MAY LAUNCH BALKAN DRIVrSOON

Great Army of British, French and Serbs Being Assembled At Saloniki May Move Soon.

8ALONIKI, Feb. 5.—(Correspondence of the Associated Press)—The great Balkan offensive of the allied army is popularly believed to be arranged for the first week in May. Should weather conditions prove exceptionally favorable, it may occur even earlier. That it will take plaoe soon, no one in Salonlki doubts for a moment. The only thill# that can ,stop it is for the Germans and the Bulgarians to move first —and there Is little belief in this contingency.

The increasing stores of munitions and supplies arriving in this port in an ,4 unending stream, the constant hard work of Gen. Sarrall and his staff, the activity of the allied scouts and aeroplanes and the cheery features and high spirits of the French and British soldiers and the eagerness of the Serbs to get themselves in fighting trim again at the earliest possible moment,

add to the conviction that an allied offensive from Salonlkl in the spring is oertaln. -s Big Army Assembled. u There are some 85,000 French and 120,000 British troops here, which is about a man to every foot and a Tmif of defensive line. Besides the British and French there are some 16,000 Serbs in Salonlkl and along the Greek frontier. There are also said to be some fifteen thousand more French on their way from Marseilles, making a total of 236,000. allied troops as a garrison for

Salonild, not counting the personnel of the warships stationed in the harbor. But In addition to these xJrcea actually available or soon to be avallable in Macedonia there are the remainder of the French and British troops withdrawn from Gallipoli still at Mudros and generally scattered about the islands of Lemnos, Temedos, Imbros and Mytilene. There are posssibly more, but assuming that there are only 10,000 of these ready to be dispatched to Macedonia or Egypt as occasion may •/require, this would bring the figure of those available for instant use in Saloniki up to 336,000 men, by spring.

There are also 25,000 Serbs in America and elsewhere who have only recently been called to the colors and some of whom are arriving every few days at Salonlkl, which brings the figure up to 861,000 men.

HAUTE TRIBUNE.

VILLA BANDITS TO BE SOtfCHT OUTBY TFOOPS

Continued From Page One.

sion of the situation was brief and to the point. The cabinet unanimously agreed that the only thing to do was to send troops.

President WilsoA took the same position and at once instructed Secretary Baker to issue the necessary orders. He also instructed Secretary Lansing to inform General Carranza of the attitude of the American government.

Congress Approves Move. Leaders of both houses of congress were immediately, infornjed from the white house' of the president's action. Before deciding finally to send the troops after Villa, the president conferred over the, telephone with Chairman Stone of the senate foreign relations committee, who told him he believed the sentiment of Congress would solidly support this action.

It was.considered possible that within a few days Pr^ident Wilson might go before congress to recite the series of acts by Villa* which led up to the ordering of troops to effect his capture. It was ts^id at the white house that the president had not yet-decided this point. The president desires to move with the entire co-operation of congress.

Major-General Funston, in an overnight dispatch, urgently recommended that he be authorized to send American troops over the border to finally clean out the bandit gang.' The state department will pass on the recommendation.

General Funston's dispatch added that "so long as the border is a shelter for the band they will continue to harrass our ranches and towns to our chagrin." "Erig.-Gen. Pershing reported that the Mexican consul at El Paso thinks there should be no objection to American troops entering Mexico in pursuit of Villa and that he would wire his government recommending co-opera-tion."

Cavalrymen Return.

News of the return of two hundred and fifty American cavalrymen, -who pursued the bandits into Mexico without having killed or captured Villa, was received with undisguised disappointment. The next step of the Washington government probably will depend upon the na.ture of General Funston'e report.

The troops had been sent across the border by Col. Slocum with orders not to go more than two miles. This action had the full support of the administration and no order had been issued for the return of the men.

The question uppermost here today was as to whether an adequate military force would be sent across the border for the further pursuit of the bandits and the capture of their leaders. Army officers pointed out that a competent force was distributed along the border and that .such an expedition could be organized inxa very short time.

Intervention Proposed..

Although strict orders had been given American army officers not to cross with armed forces there was no indication today that Colonel Slocum would be reprimanded.

Government officials generally agreed that the unusual conditions justified the pursuit. No objection from General Carranza regarding the action of American troops is expected.

Further developments in the situation were awaited with profound interest in congress today. News of the Villa outrage caused the deepest indignation, although this was followed by undisguised satisfaction when it became known that American cavalrymen vere in pursuit of the bandits.

Discussion of the subject in congress was expected today, although administration senators were prepared to prevent debate as far as possible.

"It is the duty of the senate," said he, "to vote authority to send troops after those red-handed cut-throats, bring them back to Columbus where they made a funeral pyre of American citizens, and shoot them on the' spot. That is, I would give them grape shot, instead of grape juice."
