Vienna Admits Retreat
of Austrians in East
By associated Press

Vienna, via Wireless to London, Dec.
80, Z A. M.-An official communica-
tion given out by the staff headquart-
ers admits a retreat by the Austrians
in Galicia. The statement follows:
THE old Russian army, which about
a week ago commenced an offensive
against those of our forces which had
crossed the Carpathians, has been re-
inforced with supplementary troops
and fresh divisions in such a manner
that it is necessary for us to with
draw our troops along the entire east
ern front and in the plain of Gorlice
Gust north of the Carpathians and to
the east of Nowy Sandec). The situa-
ton in the north has not been in
fluenced thereby.
In the Balkan theater the Monte
negrins showed great but unsuccessful
activity. A weak attack at Trebinj in
Herzegovina near the border were re-
pulsed early"

AMERICAN PROTEST IS
DISCUSSED IN LONDON


wood, civil lord of the admiralty, on
the subject of the American note.
A frank discussion of the note by
British officials shows that they regard
it as friendly and they do not believe
the differences between America and
Great Britain are such that they can
not be reconciled satisfactorily.
Much depends upon the effective
effort on the part of Denmark, Hol-
land. Norway and Sweden to prevent
the reshipment to Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary of cargoes received from
the United States. Until watertight
regulations are put in force in these
countries little hope, it is understood,
is held out by the British government
for relaxation in the matter of search
ing American cargoes.
One prominent British official point
ed out that Italy has effectively
checked contraband shipments to Aus
tria- Hungry and Germany, with the
result that Great Britain is not stop
ping ships destined for Italy unless
there appears special reason to suspect
fraudulent consignments.

Office Tenure Referred

Office Tenure Referred
To a committee consisting of f. p.
Schoonmaker. Bradford; James A.
Gardner. New Castle. and Thomas C.
Hare. Altoona, was referred the job of
redrafting an amendment relative to
fixing the tenure of councilmen and
mayor at four instead of two years.
The question of when the proposed
recommendation should take effect
made necessary the postponement of
action on this measure this morning.
The committee will submit the change
late this afternoon.
The amendment requiring lawyers.
physicians and other professional men
to pay an annual license tax of S100
was stricken out. The so-called "wel-
fare clause was amended by fixing
ninety instead of thirty days as a pen
atty for violating city regulations.
Amendments dealing with the initiative
and referendum, regulation of tax
levy and the elimination of the smoke
nuisance were taken up this afternoon.
Harrisburg Heard From
Harrisburg officialdom was repre-
sented by Mayor John X. Royal, City
Commissioners w. III. Lynch, Nj. Har-
vey Taylor and Harry +. Bowman,
City Solicitor D. S. Seitz, City Clerk
Charles A. Miller and Assistant City
Clerk r. r. Seaman. Furthermore,
the Capital City delegation was heard
from.
One of the more important amend
ments, the portion of a section making
1t optional instead of mandatory for a
council to advertise for bids for mu-
nicipal work or materials, was re-
tanned upon motion of City Clerk Mil
ler The effect of the amendment will
be to give the councilmen a chance to
determine whether or not they shall
advertise for bids or whether they can
obtain prices regardless of bids or
even do the work themselves. Incl
dentally the action will serve to make
the bidders keep down their figures.
OF course Harrisburg's delegation
got into the discussion relative to the
designation of the police chief by the
mayor.
Mayor Stratton, of Reading, who led
the fight to have the amendment re-
tanned, said he believed that the may
or's job was entirely different from the
other commissioners in that he had
peculiar responsibilities relative to the
safety of the city. For that reason, he
said, he thinks the mayor should have
the right to designate his own chief,
captain, lieutenants, etc, of police.
Mayor Wants Appointivc Power
Mayor Royal said he emphatically
agreed with the Reading magistrate
and then he conferred with the others
of the Harrisburg delegation upon the
question of voting. Mayor Royal
served all day as the voting spokes-
man for the city delegation. Commits
sioners Lynch, Bowman and Taylor
were opposed to the amendment and
wanted Harrisburg recorded as voting
to strike it out
Personally" said the Mayor. II am
for the retaining of the amendment
but the majority of the delegation is
opposed to it, so on behalf of Harris
burg | vote aye"
When the question of the term of
Office for mayor and counclmen was
before the convention Mayor Royal
suggested that the proposed four-year
amendment go into effect for mayors
after January, 1916.
