Mr.. and Mrs. F. W. Kuech have Just
received letter from their son, Julius

mobile service. He says, in part:
The camp life here is not very excit-
ing. Yesterday we went with load
of lumber to within three kilometers
of the trenches. That is about two
miles. 1t was very active day with
airplanes, both German and French. A
French observation balloon was shot
down within 800 yards of us by a Ger
man airplane. This plane dropped an
incendiary bomb on to it. The man
got away by dropping in parachute.
The French were firing at airplanes all
around us. One piece of French shrap-
mel dropped within % feet of me- One
could hear the pieces falling all round
We have to wear steel helmets and carry
gas masks.

them. AS far as we could see thew were

Luxburg's Expulsion Has
Not Closed Incident, Says
Foreign Minister
SAYS HE EXPECTS
ENERGETIC ACTION
His Talk in Secret Session of Senate
Cabled to Berlin by Teuton Envoy -
Permit Withdrawn for German Com
pany to Get Nauen Messages.

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 17.-Forelgn
ISOLATED Press yesterday that he was
satisfied that the expulsion of Count Won
Luxburg, the German minister to Argen-
tina. had not closed the incident grow
ing out of the kilograms the minister
sent to Berlin through the Swedish le-
cation here.
The minister said he you'd not grant
the request of the senate to explain the
situation at a secret session today, as
the government thought it would be
imprudent to discuss the matter as 1t
now stood. He explained also that he
discussed the recent German negotla-
lions at supposedly secret session OF
the senate, and that Count Won LuXburS
cahled his remarks to Berlin few days
later.
Minister Puevrredon declared that the
Argentine government intended to act
energetically. but not precipltately, IN
unfolding the honor of the republic and
to close the present incident favofaply.
/ The Argentine government has sent
cableorams to DIR. Luis b. Molina, the
minister at Berlin, concerning the nego-
tiations, but no official response has been
received. The foreign minister believes
the DELAY is due to difficulties Of trans
mission and the censorship. The AT
gentine government has not received q
request from the German government
for safe conduct for Count Won Lux
burg.
The foreign minister said he believed
that Germany would make concessions
to retain the friendship of Argentina
but explained that friendship between
the two countries would end unless tht
republic obtained the assurances ant
concessions desired.
An anti-G erman demonstrators
planned BY foreign residents here wa
prohibited today by the government.
The government has withdrawn per
mission granted to a German wlreles

MUST STORE POTATO CROP.
Government Ready to Aid Local Organ
iization in Work

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-With a
potato crop nearly 1O0,000,00o bushels
larger than the country needs for its
table, Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary
of agriculture, said last night the United
States would be guilty of an inexcusable
military blunder if it did not provide
the warehouses necessary to make use
of this surplus in such way as to re-
lease products of equal food value .to
the army and the allies.
The initiative, Vrooman said, must
come largely from local associations
of business men and farmers and the
government is ready to help with ths
advice of its experts and with plans
for building new storage houses OIL
adapting old ones.

Electric Bulb in Glove.

When the automobile driver is about to stop or turn a corner in the daytime his extended arm warns the cars be- hind him of his intention. When he wants to turn or stop at night, his warning arm is likely to be lost in darkness. A new glove has been put on the market, which has tiny cleo tric bulb fastened to the back, wired to light battery in the drivers pocket. By closing his fingers in a certain way the driver can close the light circuit and light the bulb on the back of the glove. Thus his extended warning arm carries a clearly visible point of light for night driving.

Nomads Are Beginning to Discard the Horse, Their inseparabie Com

Even gypsies are abandoning horses for motors. A band of about forty of these nomads visited Columbus, O., last summer, travelling in three covered automobiles which had been purchased short time before. The leader of the gypsies said that the cost of the cars was 5000, S1.OOO. and s75O, re spectively. Each motor was fitted up in true gypsy fashion, and portions of the tops were painted in the bright colors characteristic of the familiar gypsy wagons. In all, three families inhabited the three cars. The sage of the group was a woman seventy-fve years old; the youngest of the chill dren was three months old.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Cleveland Makes Claim.

According to the 1915 government census. Cleveland leads all other cit- les in the production of motorcar parts which are assembled in other cities into complete cars. At present over 30 manufacturers of car parts are To- cated in Cleveland, and the Cleveland chamber of commerce, which has been very active of late inducing motor in- dustries to locate in Cleveland, has es- timated that from 70 to 75 per cent of the parts used in the middle West manufacturing section are manufac- tured in the Cleveland district. These include drop forgings, sheet aluminium, sheet steel, frames, bearings, leather, paints, varnishes, etc. To these might be added various accessories, such as batteries. spark plugs and lamps.
