I Washington.—Another controveray
between the American government
and the entente allies i* In prospect a*
a result of the refusal f the British
government to grant safe conduct to
ley. General von Palkenhayn's forces Count Tarnowski, the newly appoint-
have captured Rammicu (Ramnitzu) J ed Austro Hungarian ambassador to!
and Valcea.
Along the Black sea coast in Dob-
rudja. an attack on von Mackensen's
lines, aided by a bombardment from
warships, was a failure, declares the
official statement.
From Bucharest, however, comes the
announcement that the advance of the
German troops across the Danube at
Islacz and at Zimnitza has been ar-
rested north of those places.
Roumanian troops operating on the
extreme left of their line in Wallachia
have extricated themselves after de-
stroying a huge quantity of cereals,
according to a Petrograd report.
Greek Revolutioniats Declare War.
London.—The Greek provisional
government, composed of followers of
Former Premier Venizelos, bas form-
ally declared war on Germany and
Bulgaria, according to a dispatch from
Saloniki.
Violent fighting continues on the
Serbian front in Macedonia. Repeated
attempts by the entente allies in
strong attacks between Lakes Ochrida
and Presby wert repulsed with heavy
losses. The Italian troops endeavored
to advance northwest of Monastir and
the Serbians east of that city, but
failed.
A lull in the operations along the
front in France is attributed to bad
weather and fog.
INEZ MILHOLLAND iS DEAD
Noted Suffragette Succumbs to Long
lllnesa.
Los Angeles.—Mrs. Inez Milholland
Boissevain, widely known woman suf-
fragist and welfare worker, died in a
hospital here after an illness of ten
weeks. She was 30 years old.
Mrs. Boissevain was stricken sud-
the United State;
In the absence of official advicea on
the subject officials of the state de-
partment were not in a position to
discuss it formally or to forecast the
course the government is likely to pur-
sue. It was made evident, however,
that the unfavorable action of the
Britlah foreign office on the notice of
the intention of the new ambassador
to cross the Atlantic to his post came
as an unpltasant surprise. It had not
been doubted here that Great Britain
would be the last power to deny the
privileged character of a diplomatic
officer on such a voyage.
Aside from the belief that England
would not desire to arouse adverse
feeling in the United States by inter-
ference with the ancient and generally
unquestioned right of a neutral gov-
ernment to receive an ambassador or
minister, officials had counted upon
Great Britain's record in the Mason
and Slidell case to prevent such an
action.
The fact is recognized that in pro-
testing against the removal of the
confederate commissioners from the
steamship Trent, the British govern-
ment was mainly concerned with the
violation of the protection afforded by
the British fla« under which the Trent
sailed, and it is said that it was on
that account the United States repudi-
Boy-Ed and Captain von Papen, former
mander.
Great Britain's attitude, if adhered
to, would prevent a new Turkish am-
bassador and successors to Captain
ated the action of its naval com-
naval and military attaches of the
German embassy, from reaching the
United States.

Rumors of More U-Boats.
New York—The British cruiser
Lancaster, stationed fifteen miles
southeast of Sandy Hook, sent out by
wireless a general warning to all
steamers flying the flags of the en-
tente allies to beware of German sub
marines on this side of the Atlantic.
The Lancaster directed the command-
ers of ail vessels to keep a sharp look
out for underwater boats. They were
told to show no more lights than were
necessary and to avoid so far as pos-
sible the regular lanes of steam-hip
travel.
Federal Reserve Board Issues Warning
To Banks.
Washington. — American bankers
were warned by the federal reserve
board to avoid locking up their funds
by purchasing treasury bills of for-
eign governments involving long term
obligations.
While specifically disclaiming "any
intention of reflecting upon the finan-
cial ability of any nation," the board
advises all investors to proceed with
caution, and formally announced
member banks of the federal reserve
system that with the liquid funds
which should be available to American
merchants, manufacturers and farm-
ers in danger of being absorbed for
other purposes, it "does not regard it
in the interest of the country at this
time that they invest in foreign treas-
ury bills of this character."
Officials would not discuss the ques-
tion for publication, but some of them
informally interpreted the warning as
the reserve board's answer to the re-
cent proposal of J. P. Morgan & Co.,
British fiscal agents in this country, to
have American bankers accept British
treasury bills of an indefinite total is
sue, secured by gold reserves held in
Ottawa.

MEXICAN-AMERICAN PROTOCOL
Following is a paraphrase of the agreement to which the last sig-
nature was affixed at Atlantic City.
4 —The American troops now in Chihuahua, commanded by Gen. John
* J. Pershing shal be withdrawn within forty days from the ap-
proval of the protocol by the respective governments, provided that
within that time the conditions in that part of Mexico have not become
such as to endanger the American border.. In such event the time
shall be extended.
—The Mexican army shall patrol the Mexican side of the border
and th American army the American side, but this shall not pre-
clude co-operation beetwen the two forces to preserve peace upon
the' border.
—It shall be left to commanding officers of the armies on the bor-
der of both nations to enter into such arrangements for co-opera-
tion in operations against bandits whenever it is possible.
The right of the American government to send troops across the
border in pursuit of bandits was not incorporated in the protocol, but
was made the subject of a separate memorandum.

Atlantic City, N. J —A protocol pro-
viding for the conditional withdrawal
of the American troops now in Chi-
huahua, Mexico, and for the military
control of the border, but with the
supplemental stipulation that United
States troops shall be sent into Mexico
in pursuit of bandits at any time the
American government deems its ne-
cessary, was signed here by the mem-
bers of the Mexican-American joint
commission.
If the protocol is ratified by the two
governments, the commission will
convene agai.2 on December 8 to re-
sume the discussion of other questions
between the two countries, especially
those related to the protection of life
and property of 'Americans and other
foreigners in Mexico. If ratification
by either government is withheld the
work of the conference will be de-
clared at an end.

The right of the American govern-
ment to send troops across the border

randum. The Mexicans had contended
earnestly against signing any agree-
ment in which they appeared to sanc-
tion what they termed the violation
of their national territory, and it was
the agreement of the Americans fin-
ally to content themselves with stating
the attitude of the United States in a
separate memorandum that induced
the Mexicans to sign the agreement."
May Pursue Bandits.
The clause providing for the with-
drawal of General Pershing's force
states that should the bandits in Chi-
huahua appear near the border in such
force as to prove a menace, the Ameri-
can troops acting independently or in
conjunction with the Mexican forces,
may disperse them. In such case the
time for their withdrawal shall be ex-
tended to such time as made neces-
sary by the developments.
The Mexican commissioners agfreed
that as the American troops are with-
drawn Mexican troops shall be moved
forward to occupy the territory evacu-

troops shall be left to the Mexican
