NEW RULE FOR CONsuLs.
European War Made Old Time Reg
ulations Impossible.

so many difficulties have arisen, in
consequence of the war, regarding the
travelling of the United States consular
omcers that the President has been
called upon to issue an executive order
amending the regulations governing
their allowances for transportation ex-
penses.
AS the regular lines of communication
ana trave. have been so greatly OBJ
structed and changed, particularly in
continental Europe, as a result of the
hostilities now in progress, the allow
ance of time for consular officers tc
reach their posts has been extended sc
as to cover the time actually and nee
essarily occupied in making transit be-
tween the officers place of residence
and his post of duty.
The old regulation required the con-
sui to take the most direct route with
out qualification.
