WASHINGTON. Sept 25.-Besides
further consolidation Of the Americas
in the war for democracy the addi-
ton OF Argentina to Germany's list
of enemies would mean the partial
relieving of the United States and
Bralilien fleets in the patrol OF the
south Atlantic. even If there should
be no spectacular cooperation by
sending IN army to France.
President Icigoycn has been con-
sistcnt in his determination not to
permit his country to take any other
than neutral position, but II isn't con-
sidered probable that he will veto the
action OF the legislative branch of his
government since the majority of the
people appear to feel keenly the
ridiculous position In which their
country has been placed by the du .
plislty OF the German minister. The
disco, cry today that. the strikes and
riots In Buenos Aires were instigated
and supported by German agents only
makes the situation worse.

Closing Saloon When Draft

To the Editor of the Republic:
There is no doubt the saloon is the
Kaiser's best friend, and to think af-
ter giving the order to close all sa-
looms on certain days that the sold
iers would be leaving, the order was
rescinded, just because the saloon
men made a squeal. 1t is explained
that the reason the order was re-
scinded was because they would be
leaving so many days. 1t is a pity
that the saloons should be forced to
sacrifice a few days when maybe
some good, dear, clean boys may be
sacrificing their lives. 1t seems to
me along with the other sacrifices
that are made by the boys, women and
children, the saloons might throw in
a thing or two. RUTH CREWS.
