The entire line of the Alt river in Rumania, running north and south through the country from the Transyl- vania Alps to the Danube. is now in the hands of the Teutonic allies. In all directions the invaders are con- tinuing to make progress, with Buch- arrest, their main objective, daily com ing nearer.
 The southern and eastern drive in the Alt region has brought the Teu- tonic forces across the Topouog river. while to the south between Rochi de Vede and Valeni the line has been drawn considerably nearer the Ru- fnanian capital. Alexandria, AT miles southeast of Bucharest, has been taken by Field Marshal von Mackensen's troops.
 Considering the swiftness of the ad . vance of the Teuton4c allies through Wallachia, comparatively few prison CTS have been taken. although semi oniciaI reports credit them with hav- ing captured considerable supplies of needed stores. Near Orsova twenty eight officers and 1900 men were made prisoners while in the Alt re- zion, near Tfgveni, ten additional of- ncers and 400 men feT into the hands of the Teutons.

severe defeat through the failure Of an attack launched against the lines of the central powers. Aside from re- ports of the repulse of the Bulgarians by the Serbians and of continued pro- gress for the Italians west of Monas- tir the entente allied war offices rec ord no important engagements on the Macedonian front.
 In the Carnia sector of the Austro- Italian theatre and east of Gorizia the Austirans are vigorously smelling the Italians. On the Russian front there has been considerable activity by both the Russians and Germans at various points.
 Comparative calm still prevails all along the front in France so far as infantry engagements are corlcerned. A Berlin semi official despatch says there are indications that the entente allies contemplate fresh offensives, probably near Armetieres and east of Arras, where heavy artillery lombard ments are being carried out. and also on the St. Mihiel salient, southeast of Verdun. Another semi official des- patch from Berlin quotes Constantine pie advices to the effect that Arabs on |.the TripoIi- -Tunis frontier in north Africa have defeated the Italians and carried the flint across the border in- to Tunis against the French. The losses of the Italians are estimated at 10000 men, not including prison CTS taken into the interior by the Arabs.

Britain Refuses
 ss.ssa Conduct
TO ,.o .usTRIAN AMBASSADOR
 TO UNITED STATES
ACTION IS A SURPRISE
Count Tarnowski Has Been Awaiting
 Concession Before Sailing for New Post at Washnston-Another Prob
 lem for U. s. Government to Solve. !,

Washington, Nov 27-Another con troyersys between the American gov- ernment and the entente allies is in prospect as result of the refusal or conduct to Count Tarnowslki, the newly appointed Austro Hungarian ambassador to the United States.
 An Unpleasant Surprise.
 In the absence of official advices on the subject, officials of the state de- partment were net in q position today to discuss it formally or to forecast the course the government is likely to pursue. 1t was made evident, how ever that the unfavorable action or the British foreign office on the notice of the intention of the new ambassa- dor to cross the Atlantic his post came as an unpleasant surprise. 1t had not been doubted here that Great Britain would be the last power to deny the privileged character of diplomatic officer on such voyage. Aside from the belief that England would not desire to arouse adverse feeling in the United States by in orally unquestioned right of a neutral government to receive an ambassador or minister, officials had1 counted upon Great Britain's record in the Mason and Slidell case to prevent such an ac- tion as reported in today's cabinet despatches.
 Cases of Precedent.
 | The fact is recognized that in pro- Etesting against the removal Of the tConfederate commissioners from the steamship Trent, the British govern ment was mainly concerned with the violation of the protection afforded by 1 the British flag under which the Trent sailed and it is said that it was 1 on that account the United States re- ! pudiated the action of it's naval com
 mander. But it is held here that the protest
 also was based on the right of diplo-
 matic officers to make their way tc 1 their posts in neutral countries with out nlolestation. It probably will be on that basis that the matter of Count Tarnowskfs interrupted mission will be taken up with the allies. for it is iweiI understood that : the London foreign office is supported by France Italy and Russia in its action. It was learned today thset the state department so far has not made g formal request for a safe conduct fol itl1e Austrian ambassador but has con lined itself to a transmission of the l request of the Austrian government fol such courtesy.
