FUNSTON REPORTS TO BAKER

WASHINGTON, May 24,-General
Funston wired to Secretary Baker to-
day that he heard rumors that Mexl-
can natives at MADEIRA had been in
structed to rise against the Amerl.
cans.
WASHINGTON May 24.-It was
not expected that Carranza's new note
would make flat demands for the
withdrawal of American troops 1t is
expected to contain urgent sugges-
tions that a withdrawal is expected.
II is likely to show resentment against
sending the second expedition across.
Carranza will urge that the Americans
are not needed, because he has raised
a large army for patrol duty If he
can convince the war department that
this is true, withdrawal will probably
ensue. The department now is un-
convinced. 1t is believed that Car
rama is friendly and will not press
his troublesome demands. No request
for financial aid has been received
from Mexico.

BRYAN ID TESTIFY
 BEFORE COMMITTEE
 ON RAIL PROBLEM
Request of Nebraskan for Permission to Present His Views Was Quickly
 Granted
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, November 29.-(Special) ) William Jennings Bryan will be called as a witness before the Newlands inves- tigating committee shortly after the rail- roads have completed their testimony.
 Information to this effect is at hand today. It is also learned that MT. Bryan. in letter to Senator Newlands, expressed a desire that he be permitted to testify and that his request in an executive ses- sion of the committee. was instantly granted.
 It is thought probable that the Nebras- kan will express his well known views regarding the government ownership of common carriers and other public utility corporations.
 Railroad officials gathered at present in Washington to attend or give testi- mony before the hearings of the con- mittee, were asked today to express them selves regarding the probable testimony of MT. Bryan. Each declined. It is known, however, that they have no sym pathy with the views of the Commoner.
 MT. Bryan will be banqueted by dem- ocratic members of Congress In Wash ington early in December. It is inti- mated that at this dinner he will insist that democracy embrace nationwide pro- hibition as an issue in 1920.

REPORT TO BE DELAYED

Washington, November 29-(Special.) Members of the joint congressional con- mittee named to inquire into the so-caled railroad problem, have now reached Q conclusion that on account of the gigan- tic nature Of the task confronting them it will be impossible to render a report January 1.
 The resolution under which the com mittee was appointed requires a report by that date. It is common knowledge, however, that January 1 Chairman New lands will be forced to announce that the work has not been completed and to ask for more time.
 One member of the committee expressed to the representative of The Age-Herald his opinion that it would be spring be- fore the committee had really got down to work"
 Up to the present time the committee has given it's attention exclusively to the railroads. Col. Alfred Thom of Wash ington, counsel for the railroads, has oc- cupied the witness stand to the exclusion Of everybody else. MT. Thom has advo- ca ted more complete government super vision in contrast to the control by com- missions of AS states.
 The railroads, 1t is evident, had we'll prepared their case. Press agents, at noon and night, serve local correspond- ents, with perfect transcripts of what has transpired.

PROTESTS AGAINST
 ACTION OF ALLIES Germany Sends Note to Be Transmitted Through U.
 s. State Department

Washington, November 29.--In a note delivered to Secretary Lansing to- day from Count von Bernstorff, Ger many protests against the election of the German, Austrian and Turkish lega- tions from Greece and asks that the state department forward the protest to Great Britain.
 The text of the note, signed by Count von Bernstorff and addressed to Secretary Lansing, follows:
 "The French commander of the naval forces of the entente in the Greek waters has notified the envoys of Ger many, Austro- Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria that they had to leave Creek territory immediately with the staff of their legations and of the consulates.
 'The German empire most emphat- ically protests against this contempt of international law; of the free will of a neutral country and of the most ele- mentary rules of international cour- tesy
 Acting under instructions from the imperial government have the honor to request your excellency to forward this protest to the British government"
 Germany's protest will be sent on to Great Britain as requested and as part of the ordinary routine of the state de- partment The note requires no other action on the part of this government, which is involved only because it rep resents German interests in England.
