BRYAN REFUSES To
DISCUSS PROTESTS
Alleged Breaches of Neutrality
by Colombia and Ecuador
May Cause Complications.

Secretary of State Bryan. The only
higl, official left in Washington today.
refused point blank to discuss the pro-
tests of the European allies to this Gov
ernment against alleged breaches of
neutrality by Colombia and Ecuador
Although Charles Roberts. under CO.
lonial secretary. in the house Of COM
mons Yesterday. publicly announced
that these protests have been filed. the
premier declined to discuss in any way
the situation at this time.
1t is understood, however. that he
takes the position that inasmucn as
Colombia has already emphaticaliy dis
avowed the charge that German manned
wireless stations were permitted to ope-
rate unscrutinized by the government.
this Government is compelled to accept
her word unuuestioned. In the case Of
Ecuador the charge was that 1t had
permitted certain ISLANDS owned by IL
to be used as German naval bases. Thls
has also been denied by the Colombian
legation here.
Troublesome Complications.
While it is not believed here that any
serious complications will follow this
latest development, the entire Soutn
American situation presents compilca-
tions today that are troublesome To thls
Government Chile has unofficially
CHARGED that Germany nos wantonly
violated her neutrality. IT,
II is alleged that German WarshlpS
have used Juan Fernandez island as
naval base, and that the captain or tne
American steamer Sacramento had MS
cargo of coal seized there by the Ger
man fiotilla now in south Paclnc waters
This is being investigated by the Gmte1
,
british officials at San Francisco ttiat
tho cargo was riginally loaded for the
Germans. and that the charge OF the
Sacramento's captain Is subterfuee.
Not a "Big Brother"
President Wilson recently told callers
that the United States could not be
considered the moral guardian OF the
South American countries. He made 1t
plain that whatever explanations any
Of the republics there might make TO
charges of violations of neutrality must,
of necessity, be voluntary. 1t was real
", a matter tnat was none of our busi-
ness he explained, although most OF
the Southern republics look on the
United States as sort OF pls
brother"
The attitude of the United States is
, that it has no right to interfere with
the internal affairs of other nations. IL
will, of course, enforce to the letter
! the Monroe doctrine. but that simply
provides for the prevention of European
| territorial acquisition on this hemi-
sphere.
Notwithstanding this attitude, how
ever. should England, France or Russia
undertake hostile acts against any
! South American naticn, or should the
| Chilean charge against Germany be
proven, it is likely this Governmen,
would at least take a diplomatic hand

retain it for herself. Nevertheless,
there is pressing need to rescue the
SeTvians from Austria's victorious
army. Because of this fact Rou-
mania is now in a better position to
enact maximum concessions than
she would have been earlier in the
war. when the Serbs were invading
Russia
What the terms really are doubt
less will not be known until the war
ends. but If Russia has been able to
transport troops up the Danube, il is
the inevitable conclusion that Rou-
mania has been promised a large
territorial payment.

ASK LSON To
RENEW PEACE PLAN
Minister to Netherlands Is Indi-
Gated as One Who Is Likely
to Have Influence.

Fresh efforts are expected to be made
rext week to induce President Wilson
Ia renew his offers of mediation to the
warning powers in Europe.
While there is nothin gto show that
-" President will depart from his an
n"vnccd intention OF doing anything
long this line until the belligercnts
themselves indicate A willingness to re-
C"lVc fresh Overturcs. he viii be given
opportunity 10 hear what neutral ma
ions of Europe have to propose in the
way of joint action.
Henry Van Dyke, United States min
ister to the Netherlands, is in this coun-
Try. and is expected in Washington next
week. Today Secretary Tumulty re-
eived a letter from him asking for an
appointment with the President. An en-
gaEement will be made as soon as the
resident returns from Williamstown.
Mass. on Saturday morning.
IL is understood that Mr.. Van Dyke
Will bring with him a personal COM
nunication to President Wilson from
'gueen Wilhelmina of Holland suggest
ing plan whereby all neutral powers
who have subscribed to the tenets of
The Hague conference may get together
a 1oint proposal to the warning
overs.
The visit of Mr.. Van Dyke who has
guarded his secret mission with eX-
treme caution. coupled with the equally
mysterious arrival i'm New York of Per
Nstberg, a special personal envoy Of
King Gustav of Sweden. is regarded in
diplomatic circles here as strong evi-
dence that some Dlan is under way to
end the war
The Swedish envoy has so carefully
guarded his secret that even the Swe-
dish legation i'm Washington claims
ignorance of its purport Questioned
upon his arrival in New York, Mir. Ost-
berg declared that the communication
he was bringing was Of such a nature
that the King Of Sweden was unwilling
to trust it to the mails or to cable
c0mmunication.
Last but not least, in the accumu-
iating signs of important developments
10 come. are the reports from London
to the effect that the betting odds on
the war now favor a cessation Of hos
tlities b. March l. A month ago the
DDS were 3 TO that the war would last
another year
Whether the United States will con-
tinue to hold aloOf from any further
peace proposals is likely to depend on
the extent to which the Dutch and Swe-
dish Communi cations may speak for the
belligerents. If it can be shown that
The diplomatic representatives of these
nations in the capitals OF the warning
powers have sounded the situation and
have found one side or the other willing
to entertain offers of mediation. II is
possible that the United States Will
come forward ariin. either on its own
responsibility or jointly with the other
neutrals President Wilson, however. is
not likely to forget that his original
proposals of mediation. offered at the
outset of the war and rejected, left the
way open for any of the belligerents at
any time to reconsider them
The President realizes that the posi-
ion of the United States, which would
naturally play q big part in the ultim9te
adjustment of peace, can be most effec-
tive only if this Government does not
attempt to force its overtureS on either
side.

CROKER TAKES THIRD
BRIDE IN NEW YORK
Former Leader of Tammany
Hall Married to Cherokee
Indian Princess.

NEW YORK. Nov. 26.-Today is the
wedding day of Richard Croker. once
car Of Tammany Hall, and Beulah
Benton Edmondson. descendant of
cherokee Indian. and last year a singer
Of Indian songs at the Hoppodrome.
Croker is seventy-One. and has been
twice married. Mss Edmondson is
twenty three, and has been an ardent
suffragist.
When the eX-Tammany boss got mis-
license from Clerk ScUlly last night. he
naid fOr il with q dollar bill that had

Croker who came here in September

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Todays S re-
ports from Sofia that fifteen regl-
ments of Russians have arrived at
Radievatz, in Servia. is of sensa-
tional significance. if true. The
statement asserts the Russians have
made the journey along the DANUBE
river The Danube empties into the
Black Sea after crossing Roumania,
and if the Russians have used the
river to reach Servia. they have Vlo-
lated Roumanian neutrality.
The Slavs could not have passed
through Roumania in this manner
without the knowledge of the
Bucharest government. AS a neu-
trail power, Roumania must have pre-
vented this movement Of troops by
one Of the belligerents, or else see
her neutrality violated as was Bel
giurn'S There is no doubt of the
ability Of the Roumanians to prevent
the Danube being used by the Rus
sian army That they have not done
so can only mean The ROumanian gov
crnmcnt has voluntarily scarded
it's neutrality-provided always, the
report Of the Russians reaching Ser
via by the Danube route Is correct.
II this position has been assumed
by Roumania, 1t is Of mOmentou5
consequences. The inevitable infer
ence is that the Bucharest govern
!nent has concluded to enter the war
on the s.de Of the allies for the pur-
pose of cnlarging Roumanian terri
tory at the expense of Hungary.
Other circumstances bear out this
conclusion The Roumanian legisla-
ture will be convened Saturday and it
is probable that the cabinet will be
called upon to make a definite eX-
PLANTATION OF its intentions.
The Roumanian people are
strongly in favor of war, being in
fiuenced by ImperialIstic considcra-
tions. The government, therefore
is not risking its popularity by plac-
ing Roumania on the side Of the
a lie,. Probably. the sole reason
why Roumania has held back so
long is the question Of terms. Rou
mania wants all she can get II the
allies win the war.
Her maXimum demand probably Is
the annexation OF the Hungarian
provinces Of Pennsylvania, ana Bu-
kovina Russia. however, having al

Keeping Lungs Strong

This advice Is doubly important with
the knowledge that eTery three minutes
some one in the United States succumbs

realize they are afflicted until too late.
II is after colds or sickness, from
overwork, confning duties or when
general weakness exists, that tuberCu
lar germs thrive because the resistive
powers of the body are weakened.
Only with fresh air, sunshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
arrest their progre~S. and the concer-
trated fats in Scott Emulsion furnish
fuel for rich blood, and its rare nourish-
ment helps strengthen the lungs while
II builds up the forces.

II remember best brown stretch OF

mans who fell in the fighting OF
Wednesday. All over the field are
other graves, some of Germans, some
of Belgians and some of horses.
When reached the place. men with
long spades were still engaged in the
work of burial. The battle ground Ia
about three miles long, with the VII.
lage of Haelen at one end. The vii
lage is harshly Scared. Its houses are
pierced with bullet holes. Hardly q
pane of glass remains. The church
spire is tumbled over and the town
clock wrenched from the place
