Argentine national capitol today

Hipolito Irigoyen's recently begun re-
gime as president.
Work on the capitol was started
about ten years ago. 1t is nearly but
not quite done. The original plan was
to spend 100000 pesos, or $2,640, 900
United States money. In fact, 2,490,-

1t is understood taht President Iri-
goyen is getting ready to start civil and
criminal proceedings against the per-
sons accused of sharing in the plum
der. They are said to include some
big contractors and numerous politi-
clans of great prominence.

the Washington capitol and is popu-

START HOME MONDAY
Battery a May Be Mustered Out for
Christmas at Home.

Eagle Pass. Tex, Dec. 9.-Battery
A, Topeka, Kan, Field artillery, will
leave here Monday or Tuesday for
Fort Riley, where they will be mus
tered out of service. Preparations
have already started to break camp,
and trains will be waiting by Sunday.
Battery A has been in federal serv-
ice for nearly six months and has
spent five months of that time here.
The battery has developed into one
of the most efficient orga~ izations in
the service. After reaching Fort Riley
it is probable that the battery will re-
main in camp FOR ten days or two
weeks. The boys expect to be home
in time for Christmas.
A big celebration is planned when
the battery reaches Topeka after be-
ing mustered out at Fort Riley. The
work of mastering out will require
probably two weeks, as all property
has to be checked up before the boys
are released

Political Crisis in England
Stimulus to French Radicals.

Paris, Dec. 9.-The popular demand
tl-at the reorganization of the conduct
of the war promised by the Thursday
vote in the chamber, be both rapid
and radical has received further slim
illus by the events in England and is
becoming more outspoken and more
insistent. Stephen Pichon, writing in
the Petit journal, says:
by the result of Thursday division
in the chamber, the government es-
capes responsibility for failures which
are a consequence of its policy and
n1ertakes to carry out measures
which it had more or less promised
five months ago. The fulfillment or
these obligations will not be avoided
by speeches, half measures and con-
Trajectory acts in which the intention
to spare one or another is possible or
which under the cover of novelty will
and increase the muddle.
There are spots where a Clean
sweep must be made to make way
for absolutely new work. 1t is per-
fectly clear that the present situation
