In Rumanian Area TeutOnic Allies Report COntinua-
 ton of Advance
LOCAL BATTLES RAGE AROUND VERDUN AND
 GERMANS REFUSED
Artillery Actions Are in Progress on Italian Front-Comparativ Quiet Prevails on Macedonian Line.
 Attacks in Galicia

The latest official communicntion from Berlin records fresh advances for the Teutonic allies against the Rus sians md RumanIans In WaIIachia. The invaders now are well beyond Rimnik-Sarat, advancing along the railroad toward FokshaniI. Three thou sand more prisoners and 22 machine guns have been captured by the in- taken in the RimnIk-Sarat maneuyer up to 10.22O.
 Although the Berlin war office reports that the Teutonic allies in Dobrudja are keeping up their pressure against the Russians and Rumanians and have forced the Russians from fortified height positions east of Matchin, on the east bank of the Danube opposite Braila, Petrograd announces that the invaders south of the Danube have been repulsed with heavy losses, except at the village of Rakel, which has been occupied by them. British armed motor cars. says Petrograd, did great execution in this fighting.
 FIGHTING AROUND VERDUN
 Considerable fighting has again taken place on the Verdun sector around Le Mort Homme and on the eastern slopes of Hill 394. where the Germans made an attack, but were repulsed, and where later the French began a bombardment of the German positions. Elsewhere along the French front there have been recip- ,la rc,, off small patrol parties. interspersed with fights in the air and aerial raids by French, British and German aviators. In the encounters In the air each side is reported to have lost machines.
 In the Aubtro-Italian theatre the weather has cleared and the artillery duels have been renewed with vigor, es- pecially on the Carso front
 MACEDONIAN FRONT
 "Ir Macedonia except for British att tacks against the Bulgarians northeast of Lake Doiran, which Berlin reports were unsuccessful, comparative quiet still prevails.
 South of Brody in Galica the Germans have brought their howitzers into play against the Russian positions and at va- rious points have damaged their trenches.
 Unofficial advices received in London from Saloniki say the Creeks who sur rendered to the Bulgarians at Kavala and were nterned in Germany have been or dered by King Constantine to proceed to the Macedonian front to fight against the entente allies. Simultaneously from Athens comes an unofficial dispatch an- c other note to the entente declaring that unless there is a change in the entente blockade Greece may be forced to seek the advice of the nation concerning the course to be followed.

CARRANzA STILL REQUESTS TROOPS BE BROUGHT OUT It Is Understood, However, Latest Note From First
 Chief Is Friendly
 i'll Tone

Washington, December 2s-One more appeal for modification of the protocol providing for the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico is made by General Carranza in message delivered to Sec retary Lane today by Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mexican members of the Joint commission. The Mexican first chief replied to the fnsistent American demand that the protocol signed by his spokes- men at Atlantic City be ratified with an So-word document in which he failed to accede to the demand, but refrained from writing anything that could be construed as flat repudiation.
 The latest suggestion for changes in the agreement will be considered by the three American representatives, Secretary Lane J. R. Mott and Judge George Grey. Secretary Lane advised his colleagues of them to meet him here as soon as prac- ticable
 Early next week joint session of the Mexican-American committee will be held at which the Americans will give the Mexicans their answer and on it's nature depends the future course of the commits. sioners, who have been trying for months to adjust questions at issue between the two countries
 COMMISSIONERS SILENT
 Neither MT. Cabrera nor Secretary Lane would discuss the nature of Carranza's reply.
 It was learned that the Mexican com missioners were confident that no in- superable barrier had been raised by Car ranza. It was asserted that the utmost care had been exercised to keep out of the reply any expressions that would in any way offend the American commits sion. The chief insstence of Carranza has been that the American troops should be withdrawn internationally, which the American commissioners would not consider. It was indicated tonight that Carranzas insistence on that point was less pronounced now, the change in his attitude having been wrought largely by the altered military situation
 INFORMAL DISCUSSION
 The case was discussed by Mir. Cabrera and MT Lane after the communication had been delivered. They talked wholly informally of the way it was drafted. and Cabrera pointed out that Carranza recognized the necessity of maintaining the good will of the United States
 Those who have been in touch with Carranza's report asserted that in the representation of the case he expressed willingness to reach a more definite agreement if more lenient attitude were displayed towards the question of in- creased bandit activity.
 Carranza holds that his government is doing all it humanly can to restore order in the north and that it will continue to do so, but that the presence of the Amer ican u oops on Mexican soil is making the task more difficult by giving Villa and his lieptenants a pretext for urging the disaffected to join him in his fight against Carranza.
 WILL CONSIDER LATEST NOTE The failure of Carranza flatly to repu- diate the protocol made it appear today that the American commissions would give his communication due consideration and that the next meeting of the joint commission might be but the first of a

Vacation Friends.

It's a strange vacation when one
doesn't find q new comrade. This is
natural enough when every new place,
even every new year in an old place,
brings Il different combination of hui
manlty. It's easy to find comrades, for
everyone is bent on the same errand,
rules are relaxed, and two or three
lays of play let you farther into a
feiiow human beings heart than n
score of conventional meetings. You
begin to know the man you fish with,
and II the biting Is poor, you may
know him pretty well. Even when COM
panions don't talk much, the thoughts
that come are likely to be spoken from
the inner part of a man that is very
far from the surface In working hours.
