Issues Warning That All Citizens Of United States Take Lives Own Hands When They Again Enter Southern Country.

WASHINGTON. Dec. BOA warn ing that Americans who go to Mexi- co do so at their own risk. was issued today by the state department The warning followed receipt of consular dispatechs from Tampico saying that Americans returning from the oil fields of Texas and Oklahoma are finding difficulty in getting work and that there are more distitute citizens of the United States at the Mexican port than at any other time since the revolutionary trouble began
 In view of the political conditions prevailing in Mexico" said the de- partment statement, Americans who go to Mexico do so at their own risk"
 The department does not advise Americans to return 10 Mexico even when they have secured employment there It would appear that many Americans are under the impression that because the government can give them financial aid in leaving Mexico on account of conditions pre- vaihng there, it would do so again. should they return to that country. The department cannot too strongly emphasize the fact that no provision is made for continuing the transport of Americans from Mexico at the ex- pense of the government

BELGIANS PROTEST
 TO U. s. AGAINST GERMAN ACQUISITION
Says Acquisition of Merchandise Worth Several Millions for a Purpose Other Than Military is
 Contrary to Hague Treaties.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 80. - The Belgian minister has filed protest with the state department against re. quisitioning by the German military authorities in Belgium of merchan- disc worth thirty-two million francs. He asserted the policy of Che Ger mans meant ruin of industry in Belgium" The protest set forth that the goods were not taken for the use of the German army. and consequent ly seizure was a violation of the fourth Hague convention
 The merchandise included cotton. rubber, tool machines. canned goods. and metal The Belgian embassy an- nounced "that the Belgian minister wishes to recall attention to the fact that Belgian laboring people refused to go back to work How could the laboring class work if all possibilities were taken away from them? How can excuses be given for this spolia- ton of private properties. which is expressly forbidden by the Hague convention"

Russian Report States That There Is Little Fighting Along Whole Line - Car s Arms Claim Have Advantage
GERMANS MAKE SOME

Russian Troops Are Advanc- ing Nictoriously in Western Galicia-Many Prisoners and Arms Are Taken in Advance

Tax. ing the offensive from Boumow. the Germans. under very intense fire from our guns made an assault on Bougade and Borjimow and our irene hes near Goumine. but our troops by an impetuous counter attack slaughtered the enemy with bayonets with the exception of a few who were made prisoners.
 In the engagement we captured Germans machine guns and inflicted enormous losses on the enemy who brought into action successively i'm this region. regiments from divers army corps Mean Inowlodz. our troops took possession Of German trenches south Of Possaire. which they entered after determined fight ing"
 South of Madagascar an attack of the enemy delivered after a lengthy cannonading was repulsed by our ar. tillery and near the village of Box hinetz the enemy captured our en- trenched position, but was later dis lodged and overthrowu by a counter attack. In west Galicia our troops are advancing yictoriously. East of Zak ficzyn We stormed Several fortified works, making prisoners forty four officers and 15OO soldiers and captur- ing eight machine guns.

Since Russians Defeated Ad- vance of Austro-German Army Little Has Actually Been Accomplished.
ALLIES N WEST
 MAKE SOME GAINS
Special Correspondent For French Army Tells of How Allies Fight With Germans Using Guns as Clubs, Fists.

LONDON, Dec. 3O.-Since the Rus sian defeat of Austrlans in Gallcia. which, while not irreparable. is like ly to have marked effect on the whole Austrian-German campahn in the east There has been no impor- tant developments on either front The Allies. although making no dra. mauc attacks on the German lines. are steadily hammering their way with artillery and when opportunity offers, push their line forward a few yards
 A few hundred yards in Flanders were taken by primitive methods. Having breeched rifles checked with mud, the Allies used them as clubs and in many cases fought the Ger mans with their fists
 A french eye witness in descrip- tion of the battle from December 16 to 24 gives a good idea of the kind of fighting which is in progress and records the gains which. while each is marked by only few yards amount in the aggregate to consid- erable advance of many points
 It is in one of the little French yil- lages within sound of the guns. that Princess Patricia's light iulantry. the first Canadian contingent to go to the front. is bllited and waiting its turn go into the trenches. The men were accorded a splendid reception by their comrades in arms and the French villagers.
 With the defeat of the Austrians in Galicia and South Poland and the re- tirement of the Germans across the Bzura, Petrograd believes the turning point is reached in the battle on the Polish rivers
 The chief fighting is now taking place on the Policia. where the Ger mans are still on the offensive and have brought up big guns Losses in these battles reached enormous figures in dead. wounded and prison CTS and must have been largely in- creased by disease for men fought under climatic conditions and in mud for which Poland is notorious.

EUROPE TROUBLES OF SHIPPERS WILL
 SOON BE SETTLED
Is Known That Thirty Ships Have Been Detained Cotton CargoeS
 Have Been Inspected Expect
 Have Satisfactory Agreement.

WASHINGTON, Dec 31 Il be came known today tat a total of thirty American ships and cargoes, their value totalling into millions, have been detained by British warships.
 The American note to Great Brit. ain, complaining Of such detention, continued to absorb official Washing ton There was manifest though, a tone of confidence that the numerous difficulties which have arisen in the last few months will eventually be amicably adjusted. Already discussion has turned to what measure the Unit ed States could properly take to co- operation with Great Britain to re- duce to minimum the necessity for extended search Of the high seas.
 lt became known that agents of the treasury department. acting in cooperation with the state depart ment in one case, have already in- spected a cargo of cotton. which in. spection satisfied the British em- bassy and facilitated the progress in shipment to its destination The be- lief is held in official quarters that a mutual understanding might be reach ed whereby legitimate cargoes can be certified before departure from this country and thereby made im- mune for detention.
 In respect to cotton shipments, the case of one or two illegitimate car. goes. it is recognized, caused the Brit ish government to suspect all the shipments. The United States has no evidence that there has been contra band concealed in cotton cargoes, but England made two specific complaints of it, although not vouching for or the charges.
 The American government thought it advisable, nevertheless to issue a warning that one fraudulent ship ment must produce embarrassment to the cargoes generally

foreign office and law officers of the crown necessarily will be cal ed for diplomatic and legal opinions on the case submitted by President Wilson.
 When this procedure is adopted Walter Hines Page, American ambas. sador will be asked to confer with Sir Edward Grey and discuss the whole question and probably Sir Cech Spring Rice, British ambassador to Washington will be instructed to take up the question with the state department.
 British ship owners, who are al most as greatly concerned over the situation as American shippers ex- pressed the opinion that the matter will be amicably settled. The note was generally calmly discussed, ex- cept by a few who declare that Great Britain should disregard the Ameri- can wishes and follow entirely the policy best calculated to assist the Allies in their war on Germany and Austria.
