HUNGARIAN SOIL IS
LOST BY RUSSIANS
Last Angle of Transylvania Is
Now Scene of Austro-Ger-man
Offensive.
RUMANS STILL PURSUED
Terrific Battles Fought on Moun
tain Tops, Resulting In Teutons
Reconquering Wide Terrain
Lost to Foes Recently.
BERLIN, Not. 24. (By wireless to
Eayvllle, N. Y.) While the advance of
the German and Austro - Hungarian
armies in Western Wallachia shows
their pushing force is unbroken, says
the Overseas News Agency, the Teu
tonic allies have started an offensive
In the Northern Carpathians of Mol
davia.
Combats over the last piece of Hun
garian soil held by the Russians near
Tulghes Pass developed Into an exten
sive mountain battle. The advance of
the army of General von Arz which had
pushed the Roumanians back had come
to a standstill. The point of approach
was strongly fortified for defense and
was attacked first by the Roumanians
and then by the Russians.
The Russians continued to concen
trate their reserves and from November
4 to 8 they could obtain only tem
porary advantages by disregarding the
sacrifice of men.
Terrain la Reconquered.
November 10 the allied troops (Teu
tonic) attacked and in one day recon
quered the whole terrain. Then the al
lies continued their offensive. Moun
tains of considerable height made their
advance difficult, but, say's the Over
seas Agency, the Teutonic troops in 24
hours reached the mountain village of
Tulghes.
The Russian line, which until then
ran from west to east, was forced into
& north and south direction.
The greatest difficulty was yet to be
overcome. Abrupt mountains, some to
a height of 3600 feet, must be taken and
the attack carried far into the Futna
Valley and beyond it.
Russian Communication Cut.
November 12 the valley was crossed.
This success in the center was imme
diately felt on the wings. On the right
wing, the Austro-Hungarian troops ad
vanced against Bekas Pass, which made
necessary a Russian retreat in the
Barosculiu-Saca Valley. Nearly sim
ultaneously, Hungarian troops cut the
Russian communications by the con
quest of Salaronyaka.
The Russians could not move their
troops between Bekas and Tulghes
passes. The allied troops were then
Btanding near the Hugyes Plateau, 1500
meters high, the possession of which,
says the Overseas Agency, will decide
the fate of the last angle of Transyl
vania held by the Russians.
ROUMANIANS ON OFFENSIVE
All Bridges Across Danube Have Been
Destroyed.
BUCHAREST, via London, Nov. 24.
Roumanian forces have assumed the

voda-Constanza Railroad line. In the

Dobrudja is running short of food.
BERLIN. Nov. 24. (By wireless to

AGREEMENT IS SIGNED
(Continued From First Page.)
and see these people suffer a3 they do
heeause of the chaos that has come
from civil war.
"This country is pacific but is not
pacificist. It will fight willingly when
It can fight for something worth wTlile
and must fight. It is our business to
make the occasion Impossible, to make
the duty unnecessary If this may be.
And so, through many weeks, we have
striven to get upon a basis that will
prepare the way for a new Mexico one
In which the Mexicans and Americans
and others can live with some assur
ance of safety. But this is a long way
off yet.
"We have Jumped only two or three
cf the hurdles. We can see the way
out. but It is not always possible to
persuade others that our way is the
right way. The proposed reduction of
the new export taxes on ores and bul
lion and the postponement of the de
cree as to forfeiture of mineral lands,
as well as the agreement reached with
reference to withdrawal of troops and
border control, are all indications of
the growing desire of the constitution
alist Government to meet those stand
ards which the United States and coun
tries of Europe have a right to expect."
Protocol Subject to Approval.
One of the official copies of the pro
tocol was taken by Albert J. Pan!, of
the Mexican commission.-who left here
tonight for New York, whence he will
start Monday for Mexico to submit it
. to General Venustiano Carranza for his
approval. The other copy will be de
livered to the American Government by
Secretary of the Interior Lane, chair
man of the American commission, who
left here late today for Washington.
If the pre tocol la ratified by the two
governments the commission will re
convene December 8 to resume the dis
cussion of other questions affecting the
two countries, especially those related
to the protection of life and property of
Americans and other foreigners in
Mexico. If ratification by either gov
ernment is withheld, the work of the
conference will be declared at an end.
Where the adjourned sessions of the
commission will be held was not de
termined when the conference was fin
ished. The question was left to So;.fc
tary of State Laming and Ambassador -Designate
ATredondo. Following Is a
paraphrase of the agreement to whic.i
the last signature was affixed today:
"First. The American troops now-in
I Chihuahua shall be withdrawn within
40 days from the approval of the pro
tocol by the respective governments,
provided that within that time the con
ditions in that part of Mexico have not
become such as to endanger the Amer
ican border. In such event the time
shall be extended.
Each to Maintain Own Patrol.
"Second, The American Army shall
patrol the American side of the border
and the Mexican army the Mexican
side, but this shall not preclude co
operation between the two forces to
preserve peace upon the border.
"Third, It shall be left to the com
manding officers of the 'armies on the
border of both nations to enter into
such arrangements for co-operating in
operations against bandits whenever it
is possible.
"Fourth, The American Government
reserves the ri,bt to pursue Into Mex
ico marauders coming from Mexico into
the United States so long as conditions
in Northern Mexico are in their prej
ent abnormal state."
The right of the American Govern
ment to send troops across the border
in pursuit of bandits was not incorpo
rated in tho protocol, but was made the
subject of a supplemental memoran
dum. The Mexicans had contended
earnestly against signing any agree
ment in which they appeared to sanc
tion what they termed the violation of
their National territory. It was the
agreement of the Americans finally to
content themselves with stating the at
titude of the United States in a sepa
rate memorandum that induced the
Mexicans to sign the agreement.
Americana Oppose Recess.
It became known that the first re
quest of the Mexicans for a recess was
made several days ago. They deBtred
to submit to General Carranza all tne
facts in the case and to obtain from
him advice as to the course they should
take. The Americans opposed stich ac
tion, contending that further delay was
inadvisable.
The Mexicans were not yet willing
to sign, but the Americans succeeded
today in convincing them that inas
much as the correspondence which led
to the creation of the commission pro
vided for the submission of the agree
ment to their respective governments
for approval, valuable time could b
saved by taking the signed protocol to
Carranza.
The clause providing for the with
drawal of General Pershing's force
provides that should the bandits in Chi
huahua appear near the border in such
force as to prove a menace, the Amer
lean troops acting independently or in
conjunction with the Mexican forces
may disperse them. In such case the
time for their withdrawal shall be ex
tended to such time as made necessary
by the developments.
Mexicans to Move Forward.
The Mexican commissioners agreed
that, as the American troops are with
drawn, Mexican troops shall be moved
forward to occupy the territory evac
uated. The disposition of the Mexican
troops shall be left to the Mexican
commander. General Pershing is to
have charge of the plan of withdrawal
and the right to use the railroad to
Juarez for the transportation of his
troops and the movement of his sup
plies lr ne aesires.
ine Mexican commissioners were
non-committal tonight as to their hope
of ratification by their first chief. The
Americans "hoped" General Carranza
would approve the acts of his repre
sentatives, but it was manifest that
they were not unduly optimistic

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 24. Whether
13 trans-Pacific steamship companies

goes further In regulaton of marine

Court Declares In Favor of French Sys
tea. That Bars Nothing, and Believes
Facts More Kaslly Ohtalne
Circuit Judse McGinn does not be
lieve in clinging too closely to the rules
of evidence, particularly in the matter
of hearsay testimony. He stated hi
position yesterday to the Jury in th
of k-lizabeth A. Hartman. who I
suiiif; the owners of the Merchants
Trust building for $-'0.0110 damages bp
cau? she slipped In an Icy entrance to
tne building last Inter.
The plaintiff was testifying and wm
licked a question by Gus Moser which
Dan J. Malarkey thought called for
hearsay testimony, and to which he ob
jected.
Judge McGinn said he would let th
testimony continue, though he wouM
instruct the Jury to take with a grain
of salt that which the witness said
someone else told her. He allowed At
torney Malarkey an exception to hi
ruling and said that the chief reason
for it was that constant objections to
testimony were likely to confuse a wit
ness and a Jury more than if the wit
ness was allowed to continue giving
hearsay testimony, so long as her vio
lation of rules pf evidence was not too
f la grant.
"I prefrr the French system." said
Judge McGinn to the Jury, "in which
the witnesses tell all they know or
have heard. I think they get at the
truth quicker that way.
"However, we- have to follow th
rules laid down for us. though w
should make those rules as common
sense a we can." .
