SAN DIEGO BASE FOR
UNITED STATES MARINES

SAN DIEGO, Cal, December 16.-
The geographical location and harbor
facilities of this city have led TO its
selection as a strategical base for the
operations of United States marines
on the Pacific coast. The site al
ready has been secured, and the new
naval bill proposes development and
quarters for minimum force of
men. =
With the establishment of this
base, an adequate force will be avail
able at all times for expeditionary
duty, and it will not be necessary to
deplete the strength of forces sta
toned at Bremerton, Mare island
and other Pacific points, except in
cases OK emergency.
AS Major General Barnett recently
said that the additional 5000 men
authorized by congress for the ma
rine corps are being enrolled rapid
ly, it is expected that many of the
newly trained soldiers of the sea will
be stationed here.

WASHINGTON. December 16.-
Count Tarnowski, recently appointed
Austrian ambassador to the United
States to succeed Theodor Dumba, re-
called at the request of the United
States for undiplomatic activity, is
due to sail for New York today from
Rotterdam on the Dutch steamer
Nieuwo Amsterdam.
Immediately after Tarnowski's APP
pointment Great Britain and France
refused to grant him safe conduct to
the United States 1t was generally
believed this was a protest of Great
Britain at what she considered the
iaxity of the United States in sup
pressing activity of Englands en-
emies on United States SOIL
The state department Immediately
sent notes to Great Britain and
France asking q reconsideration of
the refusal and pointing out that it
was the inalionable right of sover-
eign nations to exchange ambassa-
doris. Great care was taken Co make
plain that the United States was max
ing its representations solely as a
matter of international right and was
not seeking favor.
Count Tarnowski was one of the
active Central power diplomats at
Sofia Immediately preceding the en-
trance of Bulgaria into the war.
