It probably will be on that basis that the matter of Count Tarnowski's interrupted mission WI be taken up with the allies for it is well understood that the London foreign office Is supported by Franco Italy and Russia in it's action.
 u was learned today that the state department so far has not made a for maj request for a safe conduct for the Austrian ambassador but has confined itself to a transmission Of the request of the Austrian government for such a courtesy Therefore il is probable that if the issue is to be made up it will be necessary for the United States Il n-W to make such request on its own ac- count.
 There is an absence of any prece- dent exactly fitting this case that re quires the department to be very care flu, in assuming ground and the text of the note handed Ambassador Page will be awaited before decision as 10 the course to be followed IS reached.

Question Then as to Whether the War ring Nations Will Permit a Guaran- teed Safe Trip to Agent of Austria Hungary Governments Headed for Washington.


Washington, Nov. 27.-Another con- troyersy between the American gov ernment aad the entente allies is iI prospect as result of the refusal of the British government Uo grant safe conduct to Count TarnoWsI. the new ly appointed Austro4Iungarian sl. bassador to the United States
 In the absence of official advces oft the subject officials of uhe state de- partment were not in a position today to disccss it formally or to forecast the course the government is likely t1 pursue. It was made evident however, that unfavorable action Of the Brit isb foreign office on the notice of the intention of the new ambassador 10 cross the Atlantic 10 his Iost came as an unpleasant surprise. It had not been doubted here that Great Britain would be the las' power to deny the privileged character of a diplomatZ officer on such a voyage,

tlous reserves would then disappear and the banks have a clearer concep- ton of actual reserve and financial conditions. It will then appear that while a large increase in the coun- try's gold holdings has taken place, he expansion of loans and deposits has been such that there will not re- many any excess of reserves apart from the present reserve loaning power of the federal reserve banks.
 "ln these circumstances the board feels that member banks should pur- sue a policy of keeping themselves liquid, of not loaning down 10 the legal limit but of maintaining an ex- cess of reserves-not with reserve agents, where their balances are loaned out and constitute no actual reserve but in their own vaults or preferable with their federal re- serve banks.
 "The board does not undertake to forecast probabilities or to specify circumstances which become impor- tant factors in determining future conditions. Its concern and respon- sibility lies primarily with the bank ing situation. Ii, however our bank ing institutions have to intervene be- cause foreign securities are offered faster than they can be absorbed by inyestors-that is, their depositors- an element would be introduced into the situation which if not kept under control would tend toward instability and ultimate injury to the economic development of this country.
 "The natural absorbing power of the investment market supplies an important regulator of the volume of our sales to foreign countries in eX- cess of goods they sent us. The forf which the most recent borrowing is taking, apart from reference to it's intrinsic merits makes it appear par ticularly attractive as a banking in- Yestment The board as a matter of fact understands that it is expected to lace it primarily with banks. In fact it would appear so attractive that un- less a broader and national point Of view be adopted individual banks fight easily be tempted to invest in it to such an extent that the banking resources of this country employed in this matter might run into many hundreds of millions Of dollars.
 "'The United States has now attain ed a position of wealth and of inter national financial Eower which in the natural course of events it could not have reached for a generation We must be careful not to impair this position of strepth and independence. While Il is true That a slowing down in the process of credit extension may mean some curtailment of our abnormally stimulated export trade to certain countries, we need not fear that our business will fall off per cipitately should we become more con servative in the matter of investing ill loans, because there are still hun7 dreds of millions of our own and for eigu securities held abroad which our inv estors would be glad to take over and moreover trade can be stipulated in other directions"

 with men constantly dropping. The Sim Feiners were on all sides. firing from windows. doors and roofs. The affray has taken the name of the Battle of the Mount Street Bridge. The Sher- woods reached the bridge. One man crossed and was shot down. There he lay in the road still under fire. There were many spectators looking on, in
 cluding nurses and doctors. They hes itated to go forwards so obvious was the danger of being hit. The soldier lay there half an hour when there darted forth young Irish girl, dressed in green She carried water and amid the bullets she rushed to the fallen mans side. A cheer went up from the 300 spectators who looked on. The heroic action of the girl was purpose

Digger the Badger

Thornton w Burgess in the Cnllui eii :
 Department, The Green MeaooW
 Club in the Peoples Home Journai,
 This little fellow is the greatest oi all diggers. and with his long, stout claws he makes the sand fly Ill a most | astonishing way He can dig hlmseiI out of sight in few miutes Disslhs is his favorite occupation and It IS thls habit which has won for hlm lne en mity of man, especially in ca1tie country. Where badgers are numerous accidents to horsemen are Irequeh1 horses stepping into the holes ana pe- ing thrown and perhaps breaking leg, This is practically diggers only ot- fense but he offsets it many times over by the good he does in the destruction of gophers, mice and ground squirrels He digs these pests out. laying open their burrows with astonishing ease and rapidly. He also eats insects and snakes, lizards, etc He has a liking for some fruits and vegetable matter but in the main is flesh eater.
 Digger attends strictly to his own business. but if he is cornered is ter rifle fighter, more than a match for a dog much larger than himself. His skin is so thick. and at the same time SC loose, that dog has difficulty in get ting hold of a vital part. His Jaws are so constructed that when he closes them they lock and it is almost impos sible to shake him off.
 Altogether. digger is a most interest ing little fellow. He is brave, stout hearted, and worthy of better treat ment than he receives.

Armenians Under Russian Rule

From "Armenians and American Inter

 F. Herrick, D. D., in the American Re
 view of Reviews for July, 1916.
 The Armenians, a race with an honor able record in history extending back more than 2000 years. are still live and virile people, The Turks undertook their extermination. The undertaking was impossible of accomplishment. There are now living, scattered in many lands. close on three million Armenians. A large part of Armenia has already passed uncer Russian rule. Before the war the Ar menian population of South Russia was very large. Probably nearly two million Armenians are now Russian subjects. The portions of Turkey already conquered by Russia have a large Armenian popula- ton.
 Among the hundreds of thousands-half million probably in all-scattered in Persia, Egypt, America, and other coun- tries, many of that people will return to their beloved fatherland when they

 The facts are these, there are 4200 men encamped at Vandiver park. So many unexpected guests always furnish work, and they are busy adjusting themselves to system and duty-which means work-offices they have never filled before. Camp life is never one of entire comfort and luxury-it takes sac rifices to make us value the joys of home, and these hardships, self-denials and disciplines are fortifying our boys for more able manhood. The diet is rough, plain food, but we expect that it takes plain food to make muscle The kitchens and whole premises are clean, flies are not to be seen, not a waste paper is to be found over the grounds. The boys are in good spirits. of course they all want a box from home, some thing to taste like mother makes, and this is but natural. Don't understand have returned delighted that they are there, or found them on a bed of roses, far from it. It is sad to see them rough ing it on the way to sterner duty, but am glad to see that things might be much worse than they are at Vandiver park.

Montgomery is doing her full share in extending hospitality to our soldiers. The mobilization camp is a scene of busy boys and anxious friends. Crowds wit messed the parade on the downtown streets on July 4 Thousands of eyes looked over the procession of moving militia, the voices wers nushed in serious thought, and the hearts were turned to the camp where holds the sons of our Alabama mothers. Few mothers went to the camp without a thought of the other mothers sons as we'll as her own. This is the country's cause and this Is our country young manhood. They are there interested under one flag-with one ideal. They are big and broad and brave. They each realize that as they fill well their places, so will be their position in battle and in peace.
 Duty is the inspiration, service is their motto.
