PROTEST MADE “BY PRESIDENT Aerial Attacks Violate The "~ ue Conmvention. ACTION IS NOT OFFICIAL Executive Simply Informs Belligerent Powers That Dropping of Bombs Is Contrary to Section Providing for Notice of Bombardment. ‘Washington, Mov. 28.—President ‘Wilson has communicated unofficially to the diplomtaic representatives of the United States in the belligerent countries of Europe his disapproval of attacks by bombs from air craft dropped on unfortified cities occupied by noncombatants. The president was careful not to take the matter up officially and did not even make his communication through the state department, but per- sonally addressed the American am- bassadors abroad. The president took this course, it has become known, nearly two months ago. The facts came to light through the publication of a report that the president had dis- cussed the matter with Ruropean diplomats here. This, however, was denied by some of the prominent diplomats mentioned in connection with it, including the German ambas- sador. Just how the American diplomats abroad were to convey President Wil- son’s feelings in the matter to the foreign governments has not been disclosed. Notice Before Bombardment. It is believed here, however, that the president called attention to thc articles in The Hague convention of 1907 to which all the principal bellig- erents are signatory, which provides for notice of twenty-four hours before bombardment or attack in order that noncombatants may remove them- selves from the danger zone. Whether there have been any un- official responses from the belligerents was not known here, but American diplomats were intrusted by the presi- dent, it is understood, to handle the matter with such discretion and deli- cacy as would tend to end aerial at- tacks without notice and at the same time preserve the friendship which the United States feels toward all the belligerents involved. It is not believed that the president mentioned any specific violation, but expressed his views on the gencral sub of aerial attacks. It is supposed that the American diplomats used their good offices in a personal way with the belligerent gov- ernments without perhaps even men- tioning the fact that they were doing 80 at the request of the president, as such methods of obtaining a desired end are not unusual in diplomacy. AMERICAN BLAMED FOR SMYRNA AFFAIR Washington, Nov. 28.—The Turkish commander of the forts at Smyrna lays all responsibility for the firing on the cruiser Tennessee's launch to the indifference of the helmsman of the launch, “who, it is said, did not heed warning of the presence of mines." Secretary Bryan issued a supple- mental statement on the Tennessee incident, based on the latest commu- nication from the Turkish minister of war to Ambassador Morgenthau in Constantinople. “The war minister's report,” said the statement, “states that he ascer- tained from the commander of Smyrna that two blank shots of warning were first fired and that the sentinel, after waiting two minutes, was obliged to fire the third shot in another direc- tion from that of the launch, which latter shot was merely to prevent the helmsman of the launch from hold- ing his course, leading directly onto the mines at the entrance to the port, and to rescue him from a very certain danger.” BRITISH COLLIER IS BLOWN UP BY MINE London, Nov. 28.—The British ad- miralty has announced that the col- lier Khartoum had been blown up by a mine off Grimsby. The crew of the Khartoum was landed at Grimsby. Grimsby is on the south bank of tue Humber, fifteen miles southeast of Hull. Many Convictions Under Mann Act. Chicago, Nov.

WASHIGTON IS HOPEFUL Coniidential Reports From United States Consuls Say Southern Re- pukiic Is More Tranquil at Present Than for Some Time Past. Washington, Nov. 28.—Negotiations are again in progress between Villa and Carranza for a peaceful solution of the Mexican problem. This was said here to be the real reason why Consul John R. Silliman went to Vera Cruz to join Carranza. Leaders of the various Mexican fac- tions are reported desirous of making one additional effort to get together before a final battle for mastery of the nation. Meanwhile Mexico has four heads. Carranza rules in Vera Cruz, Zapata in Mexico City, Villa within a day's march of the capital and Gutierrez at Queratero. The permanent committee of the Aguas Calicntes commission, headed by Provisional President Gutierresz, ig reported in official dispatches as due to leave Qu tero shortly for Mexico city. So far Villa is still outside of the Mexican capital, but he and Zapa- ta are in accord, the state department says, and his entry into the city is ex- pected very soon. Confidential state department ad- vices from Consuls Siliiman and Can- ada and from Special Agent Caroth- ers, with Villa, all agree that Mexico at the present time is more tranquil than in a loag time. The war department is investigat- ing an unconfirmed report from Gal- veston that as the American rear guard left Vera Cruz it was fired upon. FIFTY ROBBERIES CHICA- GO'S DAILY AVERAGE.
