Referring to President Wilson's change

with base betrayal and cslIoused indif-
ference to the welfare and safety Of
American citizens, the administration
has lost the respect and confidence and
earned the contempt of first one and
then another and finally all Of the peo-
pie OF Mexico" said Mr.. Mondeu
Now We hear strange and incredible
rumors that the administration has en-
tered into agreement with the govern
ments OF other nation, under which we
are bound to take no steps by overt
act to avenge the outrages upon or pro-
tect the lives Of our citizens in Mexico,
whatever may happen or occur there, un-
ill we have received the assent and sp-
proval of such nations.
II cannot believe the administration
has been disposed or has dared presumed
to enter into so humlIisting an arrange

sulting the coordinate tresty-making
branch of our government.
Mr.. Mondell charged that, "watchful

MAY BAR u. S.
FROM BALTIC
Allies Believed to Plan Block.
ade Of Approaches
to Sea.

Both at the State Department and In
Congress there were Developments of i'm
portance yesterday concerning Great
Britain's Interference with American
commerce.
1t was learned that the State Depart
ment has reason to believe that Great
Britain. France. and Russia may attempt
to close the approaches to the Baltic sea.
in lieu of establishing a legal blockade
Of German Baltic ports These ap-
proaches are now important highways
of American commerce
The position of the State Department on
this question can be stated as follows:
THE United States will maintain that
commerce has 1.-The right of passage" in
to the Baltic
2. To admit the right of the allies
to close the Baltic would be to ad-
init that they had the right to block
ade neutral ports.
Would Limit Freedom.
The whole drift Of the American
contentious is that belligerents can
not blockade neutral ports, because
it would be tantamount to a denial
of the principle of the freedom of tn.
seas.
State Department officials are still
of the opinion that all the allies could
do without violating international law
is to establish a definite blockade of
German ports on the Baltic sea. Of
ficials admit they would be willing to
regard as effective the blockade of
such German ports, by submarines.
1t is expected that IL the allies
should close the approaches. they
would couple IT with some friendly
special" privileges to American and
other neutral vessels. The disposf-
tion Of officials, however, is that the
first duty of this government is to
challenge the right of establishing
long distance blockade of the Bal
tic. II protests are of no avail, Con-
gress could take the question under
advisement.
Officials are waiting on the debate
in Parliament to learn just what the
| allies propose.

graph wires that two barracks wer,
blown up and a military train destroyed
The Reuter- agency sends out a dis
patch from saloniki which says that great
damage was done by the bombardment
Several storehouses of war supplies were
set aflre. The bombardment is believed
to be preliminary to a landing. Dede.
agatch is between GaIlipoli and Kavala

reported to have sent troops ashore.
Tho allies are reported to have sO0,0ot

great force, in which veterans of the
Gallipoh campaign would lead the way
for an attack on Constantinople from the
rear, is hoped for in London.
1t has been reported that large Tur-
kish forces have been sent to Dedeagatch
to assist the Bulgarians in fighting of
an allied attempt to throw men ashore.
Today's dispatches brought reports
of the following developments:
King Constantine has decided to ask
the allies to withdraw from Greek
soil. If they refuse, he will go to
Parliament. which convenes on Mon
day. and seek the advice of the peo-
pile on using force to expel the allied
troops. If the members counsel
against force. the Greek army prob.
ably will be demoblized. The allies
will thus be left freedom of action
in Greek Macedonia.
Under pressure, the King has re-
versed his decision to declare nation
wide martial law.
Berlin reports that the time of the
ultimatum said to have been deliver
ed to the Greek King by the allies has
expired. His answer is not known
The ultimatum was said to have de-
manded that the German, Austrian
Bulgarian, and Turkish ENJOYS be
handed their passports and the con-
suls dismissed forthwith, on penalty
of action by the British to
guard their interests"

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
London, Jan. 2O.-From Dvinsk. south
east of Riga, to the center Of Persia, four
great Russian armies are fshting-and
winning, according to the Russian re-
ports.
On the Dvina, they have driven back
German column; in Bessarabia they
have captured an Austrian position; in
the Caucasus, they have smashed the
a rebel force.
Hand-to-hand, of increasingly violent
character, and on an extended scale,
marks the campaign on the Bessarabian
frontier. The Russians have fought their
way into the Austrian trenches time
after time, only to be repulsed with
heavy losses, according to the Austrian
official report.
Both sides have been heavily REIN
forced.
The Czar has left Petrograd and. &C.
cording to a dispatch from the Rus
sian capital. is proceeding to the front
near Czernowitz. 1t is at that point
that the general engagement is de-
veloping. on which the success of the
great thanking movement now under
way is believed to depend.
Petrograd. Jan. a0.-Serious fighting
has occurred on the northern front in
the neighborhood of Jacobstadt. Dur
ing a German attempt to turn the Rus
sian flank in the Drisviaty district.
the Russians withdrew unperceiyed.
with the result that the German flank
ing columns came into collision and
inflicted heavy losses on each other
before the mistake was discovered.
Awaiting themselves of the confusion
the Russians then attacked success
fully and expelled the Germans.
