WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-In the memorial services held yesterday for the 26 sailors lost on the Ameri can transport Antilles. there was a double significance over the fact that there is reason to believe the loss of the vessel was due to a leak into Germany regarding troop Iiove ments.

Diplomatic Correspondence Through the Swedish Legation Pulp
 IiShed.

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 2e.--A sen saton has been caused here by evi- dence procured that Germany had planned to invade Southern Brazil.
 Dispatches have been published from Rio de Janerio asserting that the Brazilian foreign minister has made known the translation of dis. patches sent by Count von .luxberg, former German minister to Argen- tina, through the medium of the Swedish legation, in which the de- tails of the plot were revealed.
 Popular feeling runs high here and many assert that sentiment will force Argentine to toke sides in the war with the Allies.
 The exposure made by the United States of the use of the Swedish legation for German diplomatic n- trigue, is said to have opened the way for the latest disclosures.

ALLIES TO THE RESCUE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. = I,

WASHINGT0N, Oct. 29. - I'm portant developments are impend- ing in the great war, according to a direct statement made in the weekly official review of operations the past week by Secretary of War Baker.
 He says in the review that Am erican soldiers are now on the battle line and many others are com pleting training and ready to take part shortly.
 The review says Italy is passing through a difficult moment, owing to the Austro- German forces press ing their advance with imposing forces, but that the Allies were coming to the aid of the Italians, and the tone of the report leaves the impression that when the full details are made known, it will be seen that the present situation was somewhat anticipated by the AL lies.

Boise, Idaho. Governor Alex

the Second Idaho infantry wait for

convened and appropriated money.
The only alternative would be to
pay the men by personal checks, as
Attorney General Walters has held
that it would be impossible for
state warrantsto be drawn against
the money the governor and
Regan agreed to advance.
Guardsmen will be mustered out
about January 20, if plans now
entertained by mastering officers
at the barracks are not interfered
with.
Clothing accounts are TO close
then, and with the property check
practically completed and the
physical examinations we'll under
way, indications are that the troops
can get away from Boise within
two weeks, Major Amos H. Martin,
u. S. A. said Friday.
Twenty or more OF the guards
men took the physical examination
Friday for entrance into the regu-
lar army. They are to be mustered
into the service.

To Build Highest Dam.

A Spokane report states that pre-
liminarY work costing $l75,0 900 has
been completed on the Pend Oreille
river, at point about 125 miles
north of Spokane, preparatory to
hydro-electrical development that
will include the highest dam in the
world.
The dam will be 375 feet high
above the bed of the river and will
have an extreme length of about 250
feet at the crest. 1t will be 25 feet
taller than the Arrow Rock dam,
which is now the highest 10 the world.
The only site available IS in canyon
where the river runs 100 feet deep at
low water and over l50 feet in time
of flood.
For two years exploration has gone
forward under direction of Hugh
Cooper, New York engineer. The
syndicate behind the proposition
wanted to know the character of the
river bottom before making the large
investment necessary for such a
development.
Even at low water the current is so
swift that il was impossible to make
borings which would disclose the
character of the rock beneath. The
condition pres scented unique engineer
| ing problems. Being unable to make
soundings from the surface, the ex-
ploratlon was carried on from the
under side. A shaft was sunk on
one side of the river to depth of
200 feet, or so feet below the river
bed. From this shaft tunnel was
driven under the river for length OF
l50 feet. Using the tunnel as d
drilling chamber, diamond drill bor
ngs were made up through the river
bed into the territory underneath the
proposed dam.
According to Spokane engineers
who are familiar with the work, this
exploration was rewarded with assur
ance that the rock at this point il
perfectly sound and capable of sup
porting the great weight OF such ;
dam as is proposed. Eighteen hun
dred feet of diamond drill boring
were made without disclosing an
assures or faults.
