"The Bohemian GirI'' at the Grand.
The Boston English Opera com
pany comes to the Grand THURSDAY.
September 80, in their greatest
achievement, the original all star re-
vival of the worlds favorite conf 2

tic and traditional completeness this
performance was never surpassed.
The ballads, ''Then You'll Remem-
Der Me-" THE Heart Bowed Down,
II Dreamt That / Dwelt In Marble
Halls" 'Bhss Forever Past have
brought to the bohemian Girl the
proud title Of the worlds greatest
comic opera. But it Is not entirely
upon the beauty of a half dozen num-
bers that the popularity OF the Bo-
hemian Girl rests. The choruses are
just as popular. The Gypsics In their
quaint dress and manners, with their
rollicking songs, deserve special men

The story likewise is unusually In
teresting and the stage settings OF
unusual beauty. but the one thing on
which, more than another, hinges the
bohemian Girls popularity. IS the
fact that there is always something

the interest never lags. Young and
old find it equally interesting. In
short, it makes its appeal straight TO
the heart and when all is said ana
done, that is the final proof OF real
success. -Advertisement.

LONDON, December lit is be-
lieved in diplomatic circles at Athens
that Greece has decided to accede to
the demands of the entente powers
relative to the situation of the expedi-
tionary force at Saloniki. 1t is UNDER
stood that part of the Greek troops
chartered there will be sent away. so
as not to hinder measures to be taken
bv the Franco-British forces to put
Salonikt In a state Of defense.
"The questions at issue between
Greece and the entente powers may be
divided into two categories." says Reu-
ter's Athens correspondent in a dis
patch filed last night.
The first question. of purely mill
tary character and demanding urgently
a solution, concerns defensive and other
measures entailed by the retreat, now
unavoidable, of the allies into Greek
territory. For this it is indispensable
that the Greek government afford nee
essary facilities. Negotiations on this
subject are proceeding at Saloniki De-
tween Gen. Sarrail, the French COM
mander, and Col. Phallis of the Greek
army. The entente diplomats are sup
porting Gen. Sarrail energetically and
the French minister had an audience
with King Constantine today. taking
up the same subject.

.BOy-ED AND Won PAPEN
TO GET SAFE CONDUCTS
State Department Makes Request of
British and French
Embassies.

The State Department announced late
yesterday that 1t had requested the
British and French embassies to grant
safe conduct for Capt. Boy-Ed and Capt.
Won Papen. the recalled German naval
and military attaches. Both embassies
forwarded the State Deprtment's request
to their foreign offices.
Secretary Lansing did not ask for safe
conducts for the attaches SUCCESSORS,
because none have yet been named. He
is of the opinion, however. that there
will be no difficulty about securing them
when the time arrives.
The safe conducts were asked by Sec
retary Lansing IN compliance with a
persondal request by Emperor William,
made when notification of the recalls
was transmitted to the State Depart
ment. Safe conducts for the successors
likewise were requested by the en-
peror.
There was no indication as to how
soon the attaches would leave the United
States, but they will be allowed a rea-
sonable time. Meantime. the State De-
partment does not expect them to per-
form any official business of the en-
bassy or to continue In any way the
improper activities In military and
naval matters which led the United
States to ask that they be withdrawn.

SUGGESTED
CENTRALIZED AUTHORITY
Recommendations of Board of Com
missioners Intended to Garry
Out His Desires.

President Wilson, It is learned on
high authority. is back of the plan for
more centralized and consolidated
form of government for the District
of Columbia, as contemplated in sew
eral legislative changes recommended
in the Commissioners estimates now
before Congress
The specific changes sought-such as
the transfer of the appointment of the
board of education and the abolish
vestment in the Commissioners OF the
powers exercised by these bodies-have
not been approved by the President
The budget as a whole, however. is
understood to be in line with certain
general suggestions made to the board
of Commissioners by him.
The President has been impressed by
in the administrative machinery. Sew
eral months ago he told the board OF
Commissioners that he thought steps
should be taken to remedy this con-
dition. 1t is understood that he did
not suggest what changes he thought
should be made. but left the working
out of details to them.
> Since then the Commissioners have
made a careful study of the situation
t is their belief that the new iegisla-
will accomplish the reform desired by
the President.
AS the changes proposed have a d.
rect bearing on expenditures. the Com
missioners felt that the proper place
to submit them was in the estimates
But plans already are being made to
incorporate the recommendations in
separate bills which will be transmit
ted to Congress as a safeguard in event

Nothing Develops to Relieve
Possibility of Diplomatic
Rupture.

No developments alleviate the serious
situation that threatens a rupture Of
diplomatic relations between the United
States and Austria-Hungary.
Officials continue studiously reticent
Word that the American note on the
sinking Of the Nalian liner Ancona
with loss of American lives, has reach
ed the Vienna foreign Office Friday
leads to the belief that the question will
resolve itself one way or the other
without delay.
Demands Most Positive.
The communication is understood to
ask disavowal Of the act of the Aus
trian submarine which sank the liner,
punishment of the submarines COM
mander and reparation for the Ameri-
can lives lost. It has been clearly in
dicated that the United States expects
that these things will be done prompt
ly.
There will be no extended discussion
of the principles involved, 1t is said,
such as was conducted with Germany
after the Lusitania tragedy.

will be given out for publication to-

tro-Hungarian consul general at New
York, early in the war. suggesting that
passports of neutral countries be pur-
chased for Austrian reservists in this

ltyered to Secretary Lansing by a

he wrote the letter he was a sub
ordinate official of the embassy. then in
charge of DR.. Constantin Dumba, since
recalled. 1t could not be ascertained
whether the explanation was satisfac-
tory.
It is apparent that officials who have
read the note to Austria view the situa-
ton as serious. The opinion prevails as
strongly as ever that diplomatic rela-
tions are In danger of being broken off
unless Vienna complies Immediately
