CARRANZA’S REASONS
FOR NOT SIGNING ARE
NOT CONVINCING
International News Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—The con
tents of Carranza's note in reply to
the America n demand that he sign the
pietocol giving United States troops
the right to cross the boundary have
been received in unofficial form
Carranza says that he objects to
the provisions that Americans mav
put rue bandits Into Mexican territory
He declares that Aloxicans are not able
to Invade the United States to any
great extent and that the right de
manded is not warranted by the
hardly possible contingency of such a
raid.
He reiterates the demand of the
i
Mexican commissioners that America
first agree to the withdrawal of her
troops from Mexican soil as a condi
tion to u:i agreement of any sort.
WASHINGTON, P c. 29.—Carran
| za's reply to the American note will
| lie submitted to the jo.nt commission
of I'nited States and Mexico for con
! sideration and action.
WASHINGTON, Pec. 29.—Ameri
can commissioners Lane, Gray and
Mott of the joint commissioner will
insist on the original demands of Am
erica despite Carranza's objections. In
case the Mexican commissioners do
not comply, the Americans will rec
ommend action by the government.

•
EERLIN, Dec. 29. —The previous
report that Braila had fallen into the
hands of the German allies was pre- |
mature and was based on a forecast I
issued by Von Falkenhayne. He had
reported his operations as successful ]
in the investment of the city of Bra'la. 1
He now announces, according to the
official statement, that Braila and
Galutz are being pounded by heavy
Ocrman artillery and the fall of these
cities is imminent. The attacks in
northeastern Roumania continues un
ceasingly In spite of the wintry wea
ther.
