PASSPORTS FOR FORD PARTY TO NEUTRALS ONLY Peace Crusaders Must Stay Out of Countries at War, Lansing Decides MISSION IS NOT FAVORED Ruling Generally Interpreted to Mean That; Suffragist Refused Papers By Associated Press Washington, D. C., Dec. 2.—Secre tary Lansing announced to-day that members of the peace party planning to sail on the ships chartered by Henry Ford will not be given pass ports to belligerent countries, but only to neutral states in Europe. Secretary Lansing made it plain that passports were given to American citizens for belligerent countries only when business made It absolutely necessary to-visit there or when they were invited by some governmental agency in those countries. Mr. Lans ing explained that no distinction was being drawn between members of the peace party and other American citi zens and that the general rule of the Department of State was being ap plied. Mission Not l'avored The ruling however, was generally interpreted as meaning that the United States does not regard unofficial mis sions in efforts to make peace by private persons as business of an urgent character. Very few applications have been made for passports to visit belligerent countries, the plan of the peace party being to assemble a convention in one of the neutral countries and to put into operation their plans using a neutral capital as a base. Officials of the passport bureau have not held up any passports for persons of American birth but it was admit ted to-day there have been the usual difficulties with reference to natural ized persons and the compliance with State Department technical regulation with reference to photographs. Inez Milholland Boissevain. the suffragist, was refused a passport be cause her husband is a citizen of a foreign country. The names of others who may have experienced difficulty in getting passports were not dis closed.

May Make Cost to Operate Jitney $100; Include Fee and Bond Important changes to the new jit ney regulation ordinance will be made at the meeting of the City Commis sioners Tuesday, it is understood, as some of them consider the measure too drastic in its present form. The question of a $5,000 bond for each jitney driver has caused a hitch. Some bond company agents have de clared that a bond of such propor tions cannot be obtained by any jit neur. The license fees, too, are con sidered pretty high. While the com missioners are strongly opposed to li censing the jitney men without re quiring tJiem to produce a bond In sufficient amount to guarantee the safety of the pedestrian or other trav eler on the highways, I hey do not be lieve the jitney should be legislated out of business. "My idea would be to make the whole cost to the jitney not more than a hundred dollars, this to include the license fee and the cost of the bond," said one of the couneilmen to-day. "What we first must find out is what a jit hey bond will cost. Then we can go ahead our amend ments. Council believes in firm regu lation of the jitney, of that I am cer tain. but I do not think any of us want to adopt legislation so drastic as to put them out of business." Garrison Calls Taft Philippine Charges Reckless and Unjust Special to The Telegraph Washington. D. C., Dee. 2.—Charges made by ex-President Taft concerning the Democratic administration of af fairs in the Philippines were yesterday characterized as "unjust, unfounded and reckless" by Secretary of War Garrison. In a lengthy statement in reply to the former President's latest commen tary on the conduct of Governor-Gen eral Harrison in administering the islands the Secretary of War said the sweeping "generalizations" of the Taft charges "can only be met by general denials." The secretary asserted the records showed conclusively that the Harrison administration had not "demoralized" the public service in the islands.

Dec. 2.—HP ports of business conditions throughout the' country from Federal reserve agents, are, in the main favorable and r "liow improvement for November, accord ing to information from these sources published to-day by the reserve board. Boston, one of the least optimistic ot the twelve reserve district cities, says that their busines.4 has im proved "but slightly, if at all, but that, the economies of the past month are i»ot now being so rigidly observed and that the public generally is spending money more freely than in the past due presumably, among other things, to the fact that labor is more gen erally employed." Activity and improvement in trade and industry continued during the month, New York reports. Retail and department stores have found business very much better with an increasing demand for higher grade goods. Steel orders are reported as very heavy, notwithstanding steadily advancing prices. Philadelphia says that conditions throughout that district are gradually becoming better and substantial im provement is being reported in nearly all lines, with mills and factories of all kind" working at nearer normal capacity .than for some time with voluntary wage increases by some | concerns and reduced working hours ! and larger payrolls than ever be l fore. A tremendous demand for steel pro ducts and unprecedented activity in I the steel and allied business continue | through the Cleveland district with I prices the highest since 1908. Output from automobile and rubber manu facturers is at capacity and there is a scarcity of labor.

WITHDRAW FORCES FROM SERB FRONT INTO BULGARIA Military Critics Believe Ger mans Arc Preparing For An other Offense in Balkans PENETRATE MONTE NEGRO Whether New Move Will Be Against Franco-British or Russians Is Not Known London. Dec. 2, 12.27 p. m.—Mili tary events in the Balkans are appar ently in a transitory stage which may preface another irerman offensive, but whether this will be made against the Franco-British troops which hold all that remains of Serbia or against the Russians should they launch an at tack against Bulgaria from the East, the present situation gives no indica tion. A Saloniki dispatch reporting withdrawal of Field Marshal Von Mackensen's forces from the Serbian front in Bulgaria is interpreted in some quarters as confirmation of the second alternative. With Prisrend in Bulgarian hands. | both the Austro-Germans and the | Bulgarians have formally announced] the completion of their Serbian cam- j paign. Vienna officially estimates the i capture of more than GO,OOO Serbians by General Von Koevess' army during the month of November alone.
