THE WEATHER

It Is rather Interesting to observe how
this old world, after all, plugs alone In
the regular track. That It has Jts own
methpda of so doing Is outside the case
entirely Take December, for Instance.
One sort of associates Tilth It cold, crisp
atmosphere, overcoats and earmuffs.
Bleating and the like Magazine covers,
designed In raid-summer picture those
very things. Then one morning one
wakes up and finds It Just so. In these
tlmea of chunge It Is consoling, now and
Again, to have it brought home that there
U nothing new under the sun.

tation of the complaint of the commuters!
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Informally asked the Commjsslon to
reopen, the passenger rate case for a fur
ther hearing on the 100-trip tlsKet deci
sion. The Baltimore and Ohio contends
that It sells very few of these tickets, and
that Its' commutation service does not
pay.
The Commission announced, after re
cchlng this request, that it would take It
up later today along with the formal
petition filed by Sir. Abbott yesterday,
asking a. rehearing on the entire Tate (ln
crease oase. The decision of the Corn

methods of procedure for ousting the

BRITAIN ANXIOUS
TO BE NEUTRAL AT
CANAL, ENYOY SAYS
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice An
nounces Government's At
titude to Daniels Order
One Vessel to Panama.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 17. Sir Cecil
Spring-nice, Dritlah Ambassador, called
on S,ecretarj- of the Nayy Daniels today
and Informed him that the British Gov
ernment desired to observe strictly the
neutrality regulations at the Canal Zone.
The,Ambassudor said that if there have
been any violations of neutrality by Brit
ish ships that these vessels evidently
were not acquainted with the regulations.
Governor Goethuls, of the Canal Zono,
In a cablegram to,Secrelary of "War Gar
rison, supplementing his, request for tor
pedoboat destroyers, sold that, excepting
for reports of the misuse of the wireless,
no neutrality rula,la known to have been
-violated on the 'isthmus.
Governor Goethals explained under cer
tain circumstances neutrality rules might
be violated without detection unless ships
were 'available to patrol tho wiatera of
the Canal Zone and Investigate suspected
violations.
Secretary Garrison, In discussing the
P,ana,ma neutrality situation said he could
npt emphasize too strongly the fact that
nothing sensational had occurred.
Colonel Goethals' message advised tho
War Department that he would leave
Panama today for the United States. The
Secretary's statement follows;
"I received this morning a cable from
Governor Goethars In reference to mat
ters of neutrality on the Isthmus and his
earlier request for Uestrojera. In the
cable he states that, excepting for re
ports of the misuse of wireless, no neu
trality rule Is known to have been vio
lated. "Uo suggests that, under certain cir
cumstances, rules of neutrality might be
vlolated-wlthout detection or proccrement
of proof unless there were ships there
to be used for the purposes of Investiga
tion rie Secretary of the Navy informs me
that he. has ordered one ship to proceed
'Immediately, and probably will order

"Colonel Goethajs' visit tq the "United
States is in eaanaeUn with canal appro
