DEPUTIES FOR BREAK
War Decision Now Up to Presi-
dent of Argentina.
Chamber Votes Approval Of the Sen.
ate's Action Against the Kali
ser's Government

Buenos Aires, Sept ga diplo-
matte break with Germany now rests
with the president of the republic.
After twenty-four-hour session of
the chamber Of deputies voted in sup
port of the senate resolution calling
for break with Germany, but, before
the action of the chamber becomes eff
fective 1t must receive the approval
of the executive.
The president, 1t is said, has pacific
leanings and it was a group of his
soldiers that blocked action in the
chamber last week after the senate
had voted for break.
The action of the chamber comes
at time when the whole republic is
in the throes Of a railway strike, but
there is much activity in the war and
marine departments, indicating that
strong action is to be taken to clear
the situation.
The authorities have been advised
officially that strike agitators in the
city Of Sante Fee have been comforting
with the German consul there and
that the serious strike among all
classes Of workmen during the last
month in that city was fomented and
supported by Germans.

KERENSKY'S REPUBLIC.
(From New York World. }

Premier Kerensky's proclamation of
a republic in Russia without waiting
for the decision of the Constitutional
Convention proves again that he is the
genius as we'll as the master of the
revolution.
Only thirty-fve years of age, this
natural leader of men toward liberty
became Minister of Justice in the first
Revolutionary Cabinet after the depo-
sition of the Gear. He was the sole
representative in that council OF the
Russian Labor Party. An ardent re-
publican with some socialistic lean
ings, his rapid rise to power has re-
vealed him more and more clearly as
the advocate and the leader of democ-
racy organized and responsible.
The restraint which he has exer-
cised upon the violence of radicalism,
the success with which he has met
the intrigues of domestic reactonar-
les and foreign foes, the ability and
valor with which he has inspired and
led demoralized armies, the compare
tive ease with which he has put down
a powerful rebellion, and now the
holiness with which he presents to
his countrymen the vision of Rus
STA nRepublic, cannot fail to fill the
world with hope that so far as it is
ever possible for one man to shape
the destiny of nation, he has been
raised up for that momentous task.
Whatever sane public opinion exists
in Russia is directed by him. If there
is security for life and property in
Russia it is due to him. To the ex-
tent that discipline and loyalty abide
in the army it must be attributed to
him. Who better than he is entitled
to proclaim a republic and on whose
fiat would it more surely rest?

measure of values commenced to

The stock of gold has increased so
much that there is now more gold per

Silver is now worth considerably
more than gold at the ratio Of 16 to 1.

BRYAN TELLS QUICKEST WAY TO
END WAR.

No man abhores war more than Viii
liam Jennings Bryan. No man, living
or dead, ever negotiated as many peace
treaties as Mr.. Bryan. He stands
head and shoulders above all other
pacifists. Conscientious, patriotic
country loving. humanity loving paci-
fists can safely follow where Mr.
Bryan leads. And they will follow
where he leads.
In recent speech delivered at Chi
cago, after stating that the citizen
who insists upon critieizing the wal
policies of the government is "a pro-
motor of anarchy, Mr.. Bryan said:
81 don't know how long the war
will last, but I know that the
quickest way out is straight
through. Any division or dis
cussion now would simply pro-
long the war and make it more
costly in lives and treasure"
The men who are enemies Of this
country will not follow Mr.. Bryan
They may call themselves pacifists
and insist that their right of free
speech allows them to oppose every
war measure that is proposed. That
kind of mask is too thin to deceive
anyone. This country at this time is
no place for that class of pacifists.

The kaiser continues to declaim that
he was not in favor of this war. Of
course not This is not the kind of
war he wanted The war he wanted
was a war that would enable him by
treachery to destroy France and give
him world wide dominion. No, he did
not want a war in which he would lose,
on the hillsides encircling Verdun, the
greatest battle that was ever fought
He did not want war that would
end the rule of the Hohenzollerns,
but that is the kind of war he is get
ting 1t is quite different war from
the one he wanted, the one he planned
for many years.

fond Of peanuts. She has an ambi-

mother told her it would kill her to
eat so many. The other day Virginia's

said tearfully, "I'd eat sack of pea
nuts and die, too"

Death to Moths.

If moths get into the closet, satur-
ate a cloth ten or twelve inches square
with formaldehyde hang cloth in the
closet and close up tightly for twelve
hours. The same plan may be used in
chests, trunks or boxes, where cloth
ing is stored. The fumes will kill
moths as we'll as their eggs; also
germs of any kind. No odor is left in
the clothing.

Martins First Protest.
Although, as head Of the appropria-
lions committee, he has handled bill
lions and billions of dollars of appro-
priatiOns during this war congress, was
the first time Senator Martin raised
his voice in protest.
Despite Senator Martins plea, the
amendment carrying the appropriation
of 100000 for the employment bureau
was passed, % to &c.
Senator Martin also criticized Sec
rotary Baker for an eleventh-hour let
ter urging the roads leading to canton
ments be improved where necessary.
Senator Frelinghuysen introduced
the letter, urging an amendment that
| the appropriation of $12,0OO,0O0 should
be available for improving roads in

| ervatfOns.
May Examine All Conscripts.
Only two changes were made in the
bill. One was made at the urgent re-
quest Of Secretary Baker and Provost
General Crowder.
The bill as reported from committee
practically prohibited the examination
of more draft men than necessary to
furnish an army of 100000 men, as
authorized by congress.
This provision upset General Crow
ders plan for physical examination of
all the 100000 registrants. He came
to the capitol, saw Senator Underwood
and urged an amendment permitting
the war department to carry out it's
plan Of raising and equipping draft
army of 100000 men by the first of
July.
Civil Training Fund Loses.
Senator Underwood amended the
provision so Crowder's office is au-
thorized to examine as many regis
trants as can be armed, clothed and
equipped.
BY this amendment, which was
adopted, congress still holds power to
regulate the size of the National army
through appropriations for arms, cloth.

partment plans for a larger army than

SWITZERLAND RELIEVED
THAT NO ACTION TAKEN

1erne Nov. 1.-THE news, re-
coiyed here by the American legation
that the United States Congress had
adiourned without taking any action
on the proposal to require military
service Of foreigners residing IN the
United States, has come as great
relief to Switzerland.
Military service by Swiss in Amer
ica has been a moot subject N the
Swiss press for weeks. A dozen pa
pers have discussed the question eau
tiously, taking pains it must be said
in Justice to be carefully fair and
to weigh the whole problem objec-
lively, yet revealing an obvious anx-
iety about the outcome.
With the strain removed for the
time being by Congress postpone
nent of the matter, the tendency IN
political circles is to admit frank
IL that any law enacted in America
to compel military service from the
Swiss as yet unnaturalized, or with
only their first papers," would have
had an unfortunate effect on public
and official opinion here.

that the same question has been on
