Discomfort Among Masses
May Prolong ReichstGg
BY ASSocidtcd Press

London, Dec. 16.-"There Is every
reason to believe that the German
Reichstag will have to sit much
longer than was expected in order to
deal with the pressing discomfort
among the Masses" says the Rotter-
dam correspondent of the Daily
News.
I'm order to appease these clamor-
ings it will need to deal with no
fewer than 130 resolutions all relating
to the distribution of food, besides
resolutions dealing with demands of
better pay for the soldiers and sailors
and better provision for the relief of
war families"

Austrian Admiralty Is
Opposed to Any DisaUowal
of Sinking OF the AncOn0
BY Associated Press

Wanna, Dec. 16.-(By courier to
Berlin via London). - The Austro-
Hungarian Admiralty is entirely op-
posed to any disavowal of the course
of the submarine commander who
was responsible for the sinking of the
Italian steamer Ancona.
On the contrary, it approves his
conduct fully and declares that he
would have been considered as hav-
ing failed to perform his duty il he
had allowed the Ancona to escape.
The Admiralty says:
1t appears clearly from his report
that his ship was in danger-indeed,
in double danger.
First, from the fact that an enemy
boat was approaching on a line that
threatened to cut off his retreat, and
the enemy ship and the Ancona could
have established his radius of action
and could have set a torpedoboat
flotilla on him and,
Second, There was danger of the
Ancona escaping. which. according to
his instructions, was to be prevented
in all circumstances
Hence, the conduct of the COM
mander, much as the loss of innocent
lives must be regretted and depIored.
cannot be disapproved.

The Rome newspapers ask If. after
the lesson of the Balkans, the entente
powers are going to allow themselves
to be taken by surprise in Egypt
London, Dec 16.-On the Macedon-
ian front there has set in a lull which
well-informed observers at Athens be-
lieve will extend over the Greek cleo
tions of Sunday. The retirement of
the Anglo-French forces has ended
and they now occupy strong positions
north of Saloniki, where thus far their
opponents have made no effort to
disturb them.
The German forces probably would
need some time to prepare for any
assault on these positions, particular
ly as light artillery and mountain guns
would not suffice. There would be
need of heavier guns, few of which, if
any, seem to have yet arrived near the
frontier.
The entente capitals view with salts
faction what is regarded as the mas
terful manner in which the retreat was
conducted and the comparatively
small losses of the allies 1t is be-
lieved much o. the credit for this
dination among the allies of which the
recent joint councils of war in France

were only one manifestation.
Comment on Retirement
In London the retirement of Field
Marshal Sir John French from COM
mand of the British forces in France
temporarily oVershadows other war
news. The new ommander-in-chief,
Sir Douglas Haig, who is almost the
youngest general in the British army,
enters upon his duties with a high
reputation. He has seen more hard
fighting than any other general in the
British army.
1t is reported in Paris that the stock
of gold held by the Bank of France
has reached the record figure of ST.
900, 100000.
Continue Pursuit
The Austrians apparently are not
slackening in their pursuit of those
parts of the Serbian army that retired
to Montenegro and of the Montenegrin
forces cooperating with them. Berlin
reports that Austro- Hungarian troops
have penetrated as far as the vicinity
of Bjelopolie, on the Linn river, about
twenty miles west of the Serbian bor-
der and some forty miles northwest of
Ipek.
Reports from Athens state that q
Serbian division escorting $4,000 Aus
trian prisoners has arrived at Tirana
and Elbassan, in Albania. Semiofficial
advices from Rome last night indi-
Gated that an eXpeditionary force had
been landed in Albania, possibly to
cooperate with the Serbians when
they were ready to resume the often

TAXI MAY YET
BE REGULATED BY
JITNEY MEASURE
Provision to Include the
Type of Car to Be
Adopted

TaXicabs may be regulated by the
new Jitney ordinance after all.
Harrisburg's jitney regulations were
drafted from an ordinance in force in
Philadelphia. The Quaker City meas
ure contained provisional clause that
exempted "taXis" from the jitney re-
strictions. While some question was
raised as to the propriety of retaining
this rather discriminatory provision
in this city's jitney ordinance the
wording has not yet been changed.
The clause in question exempts mo-
tor vehicles, etc, which are rented
or hired from a fixed stand approved
by Council or from a public or pri-
vate garage"
May Change Ordinance
While l can't say that this part of
the ordinance will be stricken out"
said Commissioner w. II. Lynch, su-
perintendent of streets, in speaking of
the matter, Il believe it may be
changed in some way to avoid any
discrimination in favor of the taxi
cab"
Because to-morrow's session will be
an adjourned meeting called only for
the purpose of considering the 1916
budget, Council will hardly take up
the Jitney ordinance at that time.
Next Tuesday, however, it will be be-
fore the Commissioners on second
reading, as amended. The amend
ments adopted last Tuesday include:
The Amendments
Fixing first Monday of January as
operative date; fixing bond at $4,000;
either surety company or individual;
bond to insure compliance of regula-
tions by holder and to serve as surety
against which suit can be brought for
recovery of damages for injured per-
son or persons; license fees per year
to be as follows:
For seven passenger car or less, $50;
more than seven, less than fifteen, $50;
more than fifteen, SIS; passengers
must be discharged at or near curb;
substitution of one motor bus for an
other by same licensee permissible for
fifteen days period only; no sign of
any kind permitted on windshield in
such way as to interfere with chauf-
feurs vision rules and regulations is
sued from time to time by department
of public affairs to govern jitneys must
be approved by Council; fines fixed as
follows:
The UnIighted Cars
First violation, IS to $40; second
offense, $40 to $25; each subsequent
offense. $50 to 500.
The provision requiring the interior
of jitneys to be lighted during the
night-from half hour after sunset to
half hour after sunrise-was stricken
out, because, as one Commissioner
put it. Council didn't want to make
the ordinance too burdensome for the
jitney owners.
Some owners say they couldn't af-
ford TO keep the interiors lighted"
said the Councilman. "Others declared
that much of the lucrative part of
their business was confined to the
summer evenings when passengers
wanted to ride with the car top down.
These passengers wouldn't ride if the
cars were lighted"
