GREAT BRIT AIN
 WILL PROBABLY
 GRANT REQUEST
Strong Impression That Safe Conduct Will Be Promised New
 Ambassador.
TARNoWSM WILL PASS

LONDON, Dec. "A strong impres- sion prevails here that Great Bri. tain will grant the request from Washington for a reconsideration Of the refusal of a safe conduct for Count Adam Tarnowsld von Tarnow, who was recently appointed Austro- Hungarian ambassador to the Unit ed Stetes.
 Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war trade, in discussing the question, said:
 "It must be kept in mind that the question presents two entirely dis. tinct phases. The first is that of belligerents to whom we could not extend favors under any circunl- stances. The other phases concerns a friendly neutral like the United States. to whom we are ready to grant any favor which does not vio- late our imperative necessities. To grant safe conduct to Count Tarn. owski, for which there are prece- dents, may fail within the latter phase, but 1t is a difficult question about which 1t would be dangerous to prophecy"

WARNINGS ARE ISSUED
Stormy Ocean Weather Is Very Bad for the Operation of the
 Submarines.

BALTIMORE. Dec. 7.-Masters of incoming vessels reaching this port announce the receipt of orders at sea, presumably from Entente cruls- CTS in the Atlantic, directing them to keep clear Of the usual trade routes between the United States and European ports. These warn. jngs started week ago and have been repeated daily since then.
 It is now known that the reasons for these warnings is that a Ger man submarine is known to have cleared from its base twenty days ago and the first warnings were issued at the time when she was about due to be nearing the coast of the United States or else in mid Atlantic where merchantmen have hitherto been sailing in comparative -unconcern of submarines

GARRANZA MAY BALk AT PLANS
 OF COMMISSION
Believed to Protest to Protocol Which Would Permit of Invasion
 of Mexico

WASHINGTON, Dec. '. - The ad- ministration is not over confident that Carranza will ratify the proto- col signed by the American-Mexican joint commission at Atlantic City. There is also pessimism in Mexi- can circlee here.
 The difficulty is expected to arise from the adderdum to the protocol which would permit American troops to cross into Mexican territory in pursuit of bandits.
 The original proposition made by General Carranza on this subject pro vided for a reciprocal crossing of the border by its military forces of both countries on hot trail, but this was never carried to a treary concms' ion. The reciprocal idea is under stood to be absent from the alden dunn attached to the Atlantic City protocol.

Blockading and blockade running iii

of the earliest authentic instances Of
the. practice dates back two centuries
before the Christian era. lMarcuA
Claudius Marcellus, commanding
powerful Roman army and an efficient
feet, laid siege to Syracuse, a rich city
on the isle Of Sicily. Carthage, R0me'A'
great rival on the north shore Of
Africa, one Of the great sea powers
of that time, was not at all pleased
with the idea of Rome capturing SYRIA
cuse, free city and probably source
of great revenue through trade with
Carthage. So '>N'" -'' D1 "-~
Syracuse was aswell, fortified city,
and there seemed to be no immediate
prospect of Rome taking 1t by storm,
so Marcellus decided to starve its In
habitants into submission He put
Gordon of ships across the entrance to,
the harbor and arrayed his army on
the land side so that no 'succor could
come from without. But. he had I'M.
derestlmated the holiness Of the Car

In their swift, oar-driven galleys the
sailors Of. the African city easily
