characterized the event in other days.
'Noise and useless illuminations and
unthinking celebration have no proper
place in times such as these" the ma
tional organization reminds American
citizens. Let the ceremonies this.
year contain message to the better
spirit Of America. Give our people
the solid facts that bring home to them
the issues Of this war as Americas
war"
People should be made to realizs
that America is fighting for the exist
ence OF her own homes and her own
government Just as the people OF
France are fighting for their homes
and their government Every person
has a part TO play III the struggle, and
the only thing that can bring the war
to speedy end IS wholehearted sup
port and cooperation from every citi.
zen
Patriotic addresses, with music and
patriotic parades should feature the
day IN every community.

BUENOS AIRES, August 2S.-The German minister tonight handed the Argentine government the following note:
 "The German imrarial government desires to maintain cordial relations with Argentina, and to prove with facts it's friendly sentiment, has de- cided after new investigation of the Toro case to indemnify the Argentine government.
 The imperial German government declares at the same time that the freedom of the seas, in which Argen- tine shipping would share, forms one of the objects of this war.

 After the delivery of the second Ar genuine note to Berlin the German minister held several conferences with the Argentine foreign minister in an attempt to solve the questions in dis pute. These met with no success be- cause, though the foreign minister was willing to give explanations, Germany insisted on the condition that Argen- tina prevent her vessels from travers- inv the blockade. The foreign minis ter explained this instance to the president who refused the condition as being absolutely incompatible with the spirit of Argentina's demands, which insisted upon a solution of the diff culty in accordance with the sovereign rights of the nation.
 After the refusal of the president further to consider a solution of the situation based on the German condi- uon the German minister requested berhn to eliminate the condition Ar sentina's claims have been satisfied in all their terms and without restric- tions"

 Germany accepts Argentina claims. She comedies ample satisfac ton and promises indemnity, and wha is more, guarantees the future inviola: uon of Argentina's sovereignty on tn, blockaded seas
 This diplomatic triumph exceed. the most optimistic hopes, considerins that Germany enlisted the United States among her enemies and caused a rupture with Brazil by denying then the same rights she now has conceded Argentine in order 10 maintain tht principle which inspired her submarine blockade"
