WITHDRAWAL NOTICE CAUSE
or COMMENT AT WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Dec. Withdrawal
of the British and French treasury
hills by j. p. Morgan e. Co. with the
statement that it was done at the di-
rection OF the respective governments
and out of a desire to show every re-
gard to the federal reserve board
created much interest in government
circles but drew no official comment
further than reiteration at the state
department that the reserve board S
action was merely matter Of domes-
tic concern.
Secretary Lansing consulted several
times with the board before the is
suance of its recent warning to
American bankers to avoid locking up
their funds in foreign treasury bills,
likely to involve long term obligations
and advised the members that their
action could not be considered In the
slightest degree unneutral or un-
friendly. Nevertheless, as it affected
foreign securities, great care was
taken to point out in the board S
statement that 'the reasons were
purely domestic and the warning was
not intended as a reflection upon the
financial standing Of any country
In some quarters today 1t was sug-
gested that perhaps the allied govern
ments' action was influenced to an
extent az least, by hostility in their
own countries 10 the short term notes.

San Antonio, Tex. Dec. Major
General Funston said tonight he had
not received official information OF
the resignation of any Of the officers
OF the Twelfth New York infantry, and
did not know whether any would be
presented.
Unofficial advices from the border
said that members az other military
organizations were preparing petitions
addressed to the officers involved and
asking them to reconsider their resig
nations for the good of the service.
Another report, not accepted as Of
ficial but believed TO be reliable, said
that a misunderstanding was respons-
ible for the alleged trouble and that
the offending of any of the officers
was not Intentional 1t was stated in
these reports that the furlng Of the
flag while the Twelfth New York was
in review had not been explained to
the commanding officer when he or
dered a second review and that Major
General O'Fyan, commanding the di-
vision, denies the report that he de-
liberately left the field with his staff
before the second review was finished.
A detailed report of the incident Is
expected to be filed with General Fun
ston before any action is taken.

WASHINGTON AWAITS REPLY
OF ENTENTE GOVERNMENTS

Washington, Dec. 1.-The state de-

fidencc the response of the entente
governments to its presentation of
reasons why Count Tarnowski, the
newly appointed American ambassa-
dor and his suite should be given safe
conduct on his mission to the United
States, Although the department did
not make a specific request for such
safe conduct, preferring to point out
What is regarded as an inalienable

lion taken by the British government
When it-so Hgltt~aad secured the re-
tease of the confederate commission
ers seized by the United States dur
ing the civil war would make it i'm
possible for that government particu-
afly to attempt to deny the right of
neutral state to maintain full and
ifee diplomatic relations with a bel
lIgerent state
II Is assumed however, that Great

Mlton of the academic right of free

Washington, Dec. 1.-As resigna-
tions of army officers can come to the
war department only through the reg
ular military channels, it will be sov-
eral days at least before any commun-
ication from the officers of the
Twelfth New York infantry. reported
to have resigned yesterday, will reach
Washington. Meanwhile, officials of
the department decline to pass any
formal opinion upon the case.
only in the event there was a con-
spiracy in concerted action. 1t was
said, would court martiuls be likely to
follow At any rate il was explained
the case must be dealt with first by
Major General O'Ryan and then per-
haps by Major General Funston be-
fore the department could become in
volved. It is rather expected that the
whole matter can be adjusted satisfac,
tOrily in Texas after the officers con-
cerned have had time fully to con-
slider their action.
A statement today shows that since
the mobilization in the border states,
President Wilson has accepted the res
ignation of $50 national guard officers
who desired to leave the service for
personal or business considerations.

IMPRESSION Prevails in London
That Safe Conduct Will Be
Granted to New AuStro-
Hungarian Ambassador,
pRECEDENTS MAY EXIST,
DECLARES LORD CECIL
British Minister of War Trade
IntimateS That There May
Be a Way to Settle the Mat
Ter Satisfactorily,

London. Dec. IA strong impress
sion prevails here that Great Britain
will grant the request from Washing
ton for a reconsideration of the re-
msal of a safe conduct for Count
Adam Tarnowski Won Tarnow, who
recently was appointed Austro-Hun-
garian ambassador to the United
States.
Although stating that he had not
vet seen the Washington request, Lord
Robert Cecil, minister of war trade in
discussing the question with the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent, said:
1T must be kept in mind that the
question presents two entirely dis
tnct phases. The first is that of bel
lgerents to whom we could not extend
favors under any circumstances. We
can discuss and arrange for the eN-
change Of military and civilian pris-
oners and other similar matters with
central powers, but on account OF
their actions in this war we cannot
be expected to grant them a single
favor
"The other phase concerns friend
ly neutral like the United States, to
whom We are ready to grant any fa-
vor which does not violate our i'm
peratiye necessities
TO grant safe conduct to Count
Tarnowski, for which there are prece-
dents, may fall within the latter
phase but 1t is a difficult question
about which it woud. be dangerous to
prophesy.
The American request has been
presented directly to Viscount Grey,
secretary Of state of foreign affairs.
Early action is expected. but some time
may elapse before it is taken, as the
French government must be consult
3D."
It became known on November 20
that the United States had sent notes
10 Great Britain and France request
Ing reconsideration by those govern
nents Of their refusal to issue a safu
onduct through their blockade lines
or Count Tarnowski. The notes
pointed out that it was the inalien-
be right of sovereign nations to ex-
hange ambassadors, and insisted that
third rate nation, even in war time, |
vas not justified in denying that
ight.

Join in a movement to elins+1ate use
less oratory by cutting down gallery
space and abolshing the Congress
sional Record and to introduce voting

ut isn't difficult to see that the

speaker declared today as he paused
i'm his efforts to outline a plan where

time that the galleries are full the
orators on the floor are posing and
wasting time. And everybody knows
there are any number of congressman
who talk for the Record a great deal
more than is necessary.
"A record is not necessary. The
English house of commons has none.
A journal is kept. DR.. johnson used
to write after the days proceedings
were over He simply recorded who
spoke and which side they were on.
II haven't much hope, though, that
I would receive much support if l
started to make fight for smaller
galleries and no record, so / won't
start it. But there is hope that the
present method of taking roll calls
will be abolished. 1t is archaic and
a time-waster."
The speaker also favors reducing
the house from 435 to 800 members
and holding it to that number
Minority Leader Mann today ex-
pressed the view and offered figures
to substantiate it, that under no cir
could the democrats have
a majority in the next house, but there
was a chance of the republicans to
have 21S members. He further said
that he was not worrying about the
speakership and thought it would be
much more fun to remain on his pres
