reparable. Is likely to have a marked
effect on the whole Austro- German
campaign in the east. there has been

A few hundred yards in FLANDERS

DIFFICULTIES WITH ENGLAND
WILL BE AMICABLY ADJUSTED
NOW DISCUSSING MEASURES
THAT COULD BE TAKEN
IN COOPERATION
With England to Obviate Necessity
Of Search on High Seas-Thirty
Ships Held Up.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3o.-wnne
the American note to Great Britain
concerning interruption OF the COM
merce OF this country continued to-
day to absorb official Washington.
there was manifest a tone OF conn.
dence that the numerous difficulties
which had arisen in the last ave
months eventually would be amiczbly
adjusted.
Already the discussion had turned
to measures which the United States
could properly take In co-operArion
with Great Britain TO reduce to \
minimum the necessity for extended
search on the high seas. II became
known that agents OF the treasury
department acting In corporation
with the state department In one
case. already had inspected . cargo
OF cotton. which inspection had sat
ished the British embassy and facili-
tated the progress of the shipment TO
fits destination.
The belief was held In official quar-
ters that mutual understanding
might be reached whereby legitimate
cargoes could be certified before their
departure from this country, and
thereby made immune from deten-
ton.
oeeasioned Surprise.
High officials OF the Washington
government were somewhat surprised
that the American note has been re-
garded as "brusque" in some London
quarters. They said the British cabi-
net which has 1t under consideration
after single reading of the docu-
ment must be convinced that the
United States had spoken In the most
friendly spirit. though none the less
earnestly and emphatically on points
which Il considers itself thoroughly
justified under the laws OF nations.
There Is nothing OF a perenptory
character in the note. nor Is ie
phrased in tones OF irritation, but
those who are familiar with its con >.
tents say II is matter OF fact, and
frank statement Of the difficulties ex-
perienced by American shippers, and
the failure OF the British government

AMERICANS To mexico At own risk
STATE DEPARTMENT ISSUED
WARNING YESTERDAY TO
ALL CITIZENS.
Political Conditions of Country
Such That II Is Unwise-will
Not Aid Return.

WASHINGTON. Dec. so.-A warn
ing that Americans who go into Mexi-
CO do SO at their own risk was issued
today by the state department. II fol-
lowed receipt of consular dispatches
from Tampico saying that Americans
returning from the oil fields of Texas
and Oklahoma were finding difficulty
In getting work. and that there were
more destitute citizens of the United
States at the Mexican port today than
at any time since the revolutionary
troubles began.
In view OF the political conditions
prevailing in Mexico said the de-
partment's statement. Americans who
go to Mexico do so at their own risk
and the department does not advise
Americans to return to Mexico even
when they have secured employment
there.
1T would appear that many Ameri-
cans under the impression that be
cause this government gave them
financial aid In leaving Mexico on ac.
count of the conditions prevailing
there. IL would do so again should
they return to that country. The de.
partment cannot too strongly empha-
size the fact that no provision has
been made for continuing to trans
port Americans from Mexico at the
expense OF the United States govern
ment"
Dispatches to the State Department
told of the holding up OF a passenger
train yesterday 30 miles northwest OF
Vera Cruz by bandits. who shot two
Carranza officers and is men. The
train was burned.

Sergeant Barker was in bad tenn per, consequently the recruits under instruction were having d hard time of it.
 The squad had to bout turn so many times in few seconds that 1t was no wonder the recruits got dizzy, and Smudger Sniff finished up by turning about the wrong way
 Sergeant Barker got in a towering rage. and striding up to the Smudger roared:
 Where the dickens do you reckon yourself to be, eh? On parade, or What?"

NO CHAMPIONSHIP IN
SOUTHERN FOOTBALL

Austin, Texas, Nov. 23.-There will
be no post season game to decide the
championship of the south. The chal-
lenge of the University of Texas to
Tennessee and Auburn, the two lead
ers in the race for southern hOnors,
has been declined by the athletic au-
thorities Of the institutions challenged.
Auburn was unable. to accept the chal-
lenge on account of post season game
with the Carlisle indians at Atlanta on
December 2. Tennessee assigned no
reason.
The southern championship is in a
tangled condition. Tennessee and Au-
burn are both undefeated to date and
both have won from Vanderbilt and
Sewanee, but no game was scheduled
between the leaders. If either of the
teams had accepted the challenge Of
the Longhorns it would have resulted
in the first intersectiona1 game be-
tween the south and southwest, which
would have helped to clear up the
much disputed question as to the rela-
tive merits of the football played in
the two sections.
Texas will have to content itself
with the regular schedule and will
play its last game on Thanksgiving
with Wabash.

himself to conquer the obnoxious Mr..
Johnson at all costs.

While Curley is loafing around the

a site to stage the championship match.
