ARGENTINA WILL NOT
BREAK WITH TEUT0Ns

Buenos Aires, Oct. 9.-The Argen-
tine government is not prepared to
follow Uruguay in severing diplomatic
relations with Germany, according to
Foreign Minister Pueyrredon. Argen-
tina has not pledged her neutrality,
the foreign minister added, but is at
tempting to safeguard her own inter-
ests. Relations with Germany will be
broken if sufficient cause arises, but as
long as Germany recognizes the Ar
gentine flag and respects the nation
and the people there probably will be
no break.

Washington, Oct. when the Sem
ate committee Oh elections and privile
ges meets at 10 A. NJ, tomorrow to
consider the case Of Robert NJ La
Toilette, it will find resolutions, petit
tions and letters from all sections Of
the United States demanding the ex-
pulsion Of the Wisconsin senator as an
enemy to his country.
So strong is the insistence Of pa
triotic Americans that something be
done to curb such seditious utterances
by public officials as La Follette's st.
Paul speech that it is believed now the
committee will he forced to take some
sort of positive action. Members were
silent again today on their views Of
what ought to be done.
Townley and La Toilette Scored by
Writer.
Among the numerous documents
presented against La Toilette were
two personal letters from South Dako-
ia written to Senator. Thomas Sterl-
ing. One was from Charles s. Wei
Ter Of Mitchell S. d., who chance to
be at Bowman, N. D., on business a
few days after La Follette's speech.
You possibly are aware" Mr.. Wei
ler wrote, 'that this town Of Bowman
is one Of the bed grounds Of A C..
Townley Of the Nonpartisan fame and
notoriety. Here I have heard more
talk and have seen more printed mat
ter Of. the. an4i-U. s. A. and kaiser
kissing variety than at any other spot
so far visited"
He urged that La Toilette be oust
and Townley be quieted.
Hard to Explain II LaFollette Escapes
"If the present session Of Congress
adjourns and Senator La Toilette is
not thoroughly disciplined, the MEM
bers thereof will find it exceedingly
hard to explain to the exasperated
American citizen" W. E. Milligan Of
Aberdeen, s. D., write.
One Of several petitions from Min
nesota bore the signatures Of dozen
or more soldiers at Fort Smelling.

Of all the people in the world the
farmer is the least justified in kick
ing about the price that the retailer
must ask for merchandise to day. The
farmer is getting the biggest returns
ever known from every variety Of
farm produce.
A merchant friend in Wisconsin re-
port the following interesting CONVEX
sation..
Farmer-What's the price of that
wagon over yonder?
Dealer-$90.00.
Farmer--$9O.00? Why my father
bought the same wagon 30 years ago
for $4,000.
Dealer-Yes sir, he did, and he bot
it of me, but money was scarce at that
time and wanted some corn. So your
father delivered to me 300 bushels of
corn in payment for that wagon. I
can use some corn at this time and
will make the same trade with you to-
day as did with your father 30 years
ago on the same wagon and will give

WEALTHEXPOSED
AS idle GOAL

The Lust o. the Ages the current
BiIou attraction, featuring the film
star Lillian Walker. is notable for its
UNIQUE theme. originality Of filming
and subtle dramatic interest. 1t is
story of avarfce, transplanted from
age to age and told in three episodes
each in a different era of the world S
history. The goal OF so many persons
in life-wealth-is exposed as tatu-
Gus objective. one which usually
brings more misery and suffering into
life than peace and happiness. From
the goth century the tale reverts to
the arcadian period when love ana
contentment ruled the land.
The tricks of the camera men are
sufficient to make the play a success
even though it were devoid Of plot or
theme. Miss Walker is first seen as
a girl of today, who, because OF the
tragedy of her monthers life, regards
money as the curse Of the ages; tbs
drama then takes one back to the
Arcadian age and another depicts the
love of a prince and a princess who
sacrifice their lives in an effort to
avoid q world war. The locale in this
setting is obviously German.
THE Lust of the Ages" is at the
Bijou tonight and tomorrow night.

REGISTERED men
MUST TELL why
THEY WOULD GO

Registered persons in Hawaii who
may be counting upon a trip to the
mainland are likely to meet with dis
appointment in their plans unless they
have excuses for leaving this terri
tory that sound good and feasible to
Capt F. J. Green, draft officer.
What it means to seek permission
from the officer for trip to the coast
without what Is considered a suffi-
Gent reason was shown yesterday
when two men-one white man and
one negro-called at the draft office.
They wanted to go to the states, they
said.
Draft Officer Green asked them
what special reason they could give
for wanting to leave the territory at
this Il be.
They replied that they had no spe-
cial reason save that they wanted to
20. This did not sound good to the
captain and after failing to find any
good reason for granting permits he
told the two that they would have to
stay in Hawaii. Almost daily half
a dozen or so Of men appear at the
draft office seeking permission to
leave for the mainland. Generally
they are given this privilege, but in
cases where no suitable reason can be
advanced they are refused it.

Sea elogio, respuesta, objection, comentario,
Advertencia y misterio!....
