MANY WAR PLANS ARE UNDER
CONSIDERATION BY CABINET TODAY

However, the general view today was
that this revolt against the administra-
tion plans would crlmble.
As for the finance demands, il is
thought that they Will be gladly
granted once they are introduced in
Congress.
The administration plan is to get
these under way Thursday, and then to
offer the bonds to popular subscrip-
tiOn.
Everyone in the United States will
have an opportunity TO buy them. Ad-
vertising may be resorted to in an effort
to dispose of this "Old Glory" issue.
The bonds will probably be sold in
small denominations so that the common
people will have the widest opportunity
TO participate.
Further steps toward Austria ap-
parently await the next move on her
part.
Seizure OF Austrian vessels, de-
scribed as a protective police meas
ure," is thought to have been under
taken because OF the belief a state OF
war is coming The government, II
is believed. preferred not to take any
chances OF having the Austrian YES
sells dismantled.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April TO-
Three mysterious and apparently in
cendiary fires were under control

age estimated at 100000.
Two large grain elevators were de-
stroyed, while fire also threatened the
bridge across the Mississippi river at
Fort Smelling, the military center OF

Guardsmen on duty at elevators
near those burned said they heard
shots in the vicinity OF the buildings.
No guards had been stationed at the
burned structures.
The first fire was discovered in the
middle OF the old wooden bridge
across the river at Fort Smelling by
guardsmen. Troops at the post, called
out by firing OF cannon, extinguished
the fire. The blaze which started on
the bridge was declared TO have been
of incendlary origin by Patrolman
Tuoy
Fire was discovered in the grain
elevator at 2 a. m. and in a short time
the structure, with a capacity OF one
million bushels, and nearly filled
with wheat was in ruins.
Shortly before IL p. m, fire was
discovered in elevator ID of the Quinn
Shepperdson Company, seventy
thousand bushels OF grain were de-
strOyed
While this FIRE was raging a watch
man at another elevator 200 yards
away twice discovered fires apparent

united IItSb Oldu Correspondents
BUENOS AIRES, April 10.-Argen-
tine is determined not to yield TO Brit
ish and American pressure for lifting
Of her embargo on wheat unless 1t is
absolutely necessary. Today feel ng
against Great Britain reached an acute
stage when knowledge of an acrimon-
ious conference between President
Irigoyen and the British Minister, Sir
Reginald Tower reached the public.
Presiden Ir goyen today dispatched
an Argentine transport vessel to Chile
to purchase coal. He was also nego-
tiating for a supply OF this fuel from
Colombia and there was official init
nation that the entire Argentine navy
might be assigned to carry coal in
this way.
1t was admitted that unless Argen-
tine is thus able 10 obtain coal, with
holding OF such fuel by England and
the United States would practically
paralyze all industry.
While the United States apparently
is supporting England in applying
pressure, il was known today that
American Ambassador Stimson does
not agree with Sir Reginald Tower on
the facts in the case. Stimson is in
clined to agree-and has so reported
to Washington-that Argentine may
have cause on account OF shortage oi
her wheat crop, for putting an en-
barge on the grain TO prevent the
country from being drained dry OF this
staple.
The British Ambassador, on the
other hand. regards the embargo as
totally uncalled for.
No official version was obtainablt
today Of a conference between Tower
and President Irigoyen, but it wa:
made known that the meeting was al
angry one.
According to one authoritative re
port Tower told Irigoyen he was con
sidering the advisability OF leaving
Argentine at once, possibly demand
ing his passports and formally break
ing diplomatic relations.
From a number of sources toda!
came a report that the Argentine Gov
ernment was secretly considering tn
wisdom OF a declaration against Ger
many in favor of the United State
and the Allies. thus beating Brazl

Perhaps the most distressing
