ANOTHER COMMUNICATION
 ADDRESSED TO ALLIES
UNITED STATES ASKS AGAIN FOR SAFE PASSAGE FOR THE AUS.
 TRAN AMBASSADOR.

Washington, Dec. 11.--A third com munication was sent today by the state department to Great Britain and France regarding a safe conduct through allied blockade for Count Tarncwsh, the new Austrian ambas- sador t0 the United States. The com. munication says that again this coun- try regards the unhindered passage of the envoy as part of the admitted right of diplomatic intercourse and re- iterates the opinion that the allies are acting beyond their rights in at tempting to hinder such intercourse between this country and Austria
 As with the preceding note, which was sent 12 days ago, the present one is very explicit in pointing out that this government does not demand a safe conduct for Count Tarnowski in it's own name, but is merely explain ing what it regards as the information al law in the matter. In the first lace, the United States, acting as Austrias representative in England ! and France, conveyed Austria's re quest for safe conduct.
 The new note was prompted by the fact that no reply has yet been re- ceiyed from either England or France whereas the new ambassador is ex pected to sail from Rotterdam on De cember l6. It is felt here that some assurance should be had before that time, though it has been indicated that Count Tarnowski will sail re gardless of whether he has been granted safe conduct and that he probably will be allowed to pass the blockade
 The allied embassies here are known to have communicated to their home governments the feeling that any advantage to be gained in hold ing up the new ambassador would not be commensurate with the consequent loss in American sympathy. 1t is un- derstood that these suggestions have borne fruit abroad and that even if the allies do not actually recede from their position in a public note, they will allow the fact to become known informally that the count may come through the blockade without hin drance
