NTI-GERMAN FEELING INTENSE
IN ARGENTINA.

Stirring scenes have been taking
place in BuenCs Aires, capital of Ar
gentina, South America, following
the astonishing revelations made re-
Gently of German duplicity and
abuse of privileges. The papers have
told of the astonishing discovery of
the Swedish Embassy being used as
a means of conveying information
from America to the German mill
tary authorities. AS an evidence of
the intense feeling in Buenos Aires
against the Germans, the daily pa
pers yesterday carried the following
story:
"BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 12.-The
downtown section of the city was
the scene of the widest disorders to-
night in connection with great anti
German demonstrations, in which
thousands of Argentinians took part.
MANY carried firebrands, and as a
result scores of buildings were set on
fire. Several blocks of German bust
ness houses in Gale Is de Mayo
were destroyed.
Among the structures attacked
were the German Club, one of the
finest edifices in the city, and the
building of the German daily, La
Union. AS fast as the fires in these
buildings were extinguiShed they
were started again.
Mounted patrols and the entire
fire department kept rushing from
one part of the city to another in an
attempt to quell the riots and put
down the flames. In several instan-
| ces police, who were attempting to
shoot at those welding torches,
were set upon by the crowds and dis
armed"

SUNDAY-CLOSING LAW ORDERED
IN MASON.

The Mason county grand jury adj
journed Saturday after making the
recommendation that all places of
business in Maysville be closed, thus
enforcing the Anticipated blue laws
adopted by the State Legislature
many years ago. AS the result of this
recommendation several business
houses that open on Sunday closed
their places of business for the first
time last Sunday in years. Those
who closed are the confectionery
stores and drug stores. Considerable
comment is being made upon the
grand jury's recommendation, and 1T

PERSONAL ATTENTION IS CALL
EO TO THE FOLLOWING.

To insure satisfactory delivery of
mail for men enlisted in the Ma
tional Army and the National
Guard of the United States it is vi
tally important that all mail for off,
GERS and men in the camps or can
tonments be addressed in as perfect
manner as possible.
The name of the addressee should
be written as plainly as possible and
always given in full. His official
title should precede the name and
his location should be given in de-
tail.
The following is suggested as the
best form of address:
Private William G.. Jones,
Company c., First Regiment,
Pennsylvania National Guard,
Camp Mead, Maryland.
In the case of an officer in the ser
vice his exact title, and address
should be ascertained, and the mail
addressed, as this one going from
Paris is:
Battalion Sergt-Maj.W Earl Curtis,
Headquarters Company,
Third Texas Infantry,
Corpus Christi, Texas.
1t is especially urged that your re-
turn address be placed on the letter,
or in fact, on every piece of mail you
send to your soldier friend or rela-
tive. This is very important.

 Ample room and comfort for the driver. Rear seat in the luxury car 4S inches wide.
 Continental built modern high speed,
Arizona republican., 1917-11-14

ities has resulted in a splendidly prac- tical whole The result is a car without extremes It is well balanced. justly proportioned, versatile and many sided. Its ability equals its dependa- bility. Its efficiency equals it's com fort. Omit any of these things and it would not be a Pierce-Arrow car.
 FIexibility
 The ease with which the driver con- tro1s a Pierce Arrow car gives him an exhilerating sense of mastery. The re- sponsiveness and flexibility of the car are such that the car seems to float from rest to motion and from speed to speed. There are applied mechanics behind this flexibility just as there are applied mechanics behind the smooth chanics applied so skilfully that no in dication of it obtrudes on the driver any more than it does on the bird.
 Strength
 The Pierce-Arrow car possesses the fluid strength of the Arab racer rath- CA lAlo1l llIO LII OlO oll SAlSl LII Ol lilC PSl cheron. It is not merely the strength of raw materials. It is the strength of careful fashioning and accurate ad- justment of those materials a strength of motion as well as a strength of rest. It is a strength that has been seasoned by the passing. years, tried out, tested, until no man knows at what far off period the Pierce-Arrow ceases to ren- der a just proportion of the service that was originally built into it.
 Faithfulness
 The owner of a Pierce-Arrow Is led by performance to trust the fidelity of his car, until he ceases to make all lowances for error. He accepts this splendid service in the spirit in which 1t is offered by forgetting about it in
