Argentina's Head
Opposes Break
With Germany

BUENOS AYRES, Sept. 2S.-Presi-
dent Irigoyen is preparing a message
in reply to the request Of Congress
that the diplomatic relations between
Argentina and Germany be broken.
The President, it is understood, holds
it is impossible to break off relations
with Germany because of the Count
Won Luxburg incident, as the govern
ment considers this affair to have been
adjusted by the German Foreign Of
fees explanation.
Strikers wrecked milk train to-day
rs it was approaching the capital. Five
soldiers on guard on the locomotive
were injured. No further attempts
will be made to bring food supplies
into Buenos Ayres until the railroad
strike has been settled.
President Irigoyen was elected to
Office last year as the candidate Of the
Radical party. Although he was the
nominal head Of his party, he was not
active in politics prior TO his election
AS a wealthy land owner. he devoted
more attention to his estates than to
politics.
A man Of limited education. he knew
little OF international politics when he
was called to the Presidency. As far
as can be sscertained, he has main
tanned an entirely neutral attitude with
regard to the war.
Last February Argentina was re-
ported TO have taken the initiative in
movement to bring about peace
through mediation. This report was
denied by the Argentine Foreign Office,
but it was stated that President Iri-
goyen wanted TO know the opinion OF
the South American republics respect
ing war problems and the situation
created by the rupture between Wash
ingten and Berlin.

 The four arrested at Topeka were 'Dr. Eva Harding of that city who ran for congress as an independent candidate at the last eection, Ike Gil berg, Fred Felten and Ernest New man. They were taken into custody in connection with the investigation of alleged anu-cOnscription meeting held at Topeka Sunday night.
 The five were charged specifically with having distributed circula $ urging noncompliance with the draft registration, with having conducted a public meeting adverse 10 conscrip- tion and with having written letters advising persons against enrolling under the conscription acts. Their attorney Mir. Shewalte1 announced, following their arraignment that he would go to St. Louis, Mo, tonight to institute habeas corpus proceed ings in their behalf in the federal circuit court of appeals there.

 Judge Bird, in refusing the injunc, ton. denied every point raised by Shewalter.
 Moore and Sullivan were advised by Judge Bird in his remarks from the bench not to seek to evade the draft, but to enlist voluntarily at the first recruiting station they could find The judge upheld the draft law. characteri2ing it as the best and most efficient means to raise an army that ever had been tried in this country. Shewalter had declared state, county and city officials could not carry out the draft provisions because they would act thus as federal officials. Judge Bird held such service 10 be legal during war time.
 The argument presented against the petitioners was made by Attorney General Frank W. McAllister. Jacob Har2feld, city counsellor, and Frank Lowe, representing county officials. Mir. Harzfeld declared sufficient jails would be provided to house all per sons who failed to register and Mir. McAl'ister asserted every official had gladly volunteered his services for the draft registration.

It carries important moditications of the spy laws and au- thorlzation for the president to lay em- barsoes in war time, but most of the controversy regarding it has centered abou the censorship proposal.
 No comment on the outcome in the house was forthcoming from the White Hou-e. The section which had beel agreed on by the conferees was some what similar to one which the house had substituted during first considera- ton of the bill for the morc sweeping provision drawn up and submitted by the administration.

New York, May 31.-A state of yir- tual inaction prevails on all the war fronts. In only one theater has there been any fighting worthy of note. This was in the Champagne region of France, where the French, counter attacking havily against positions northeast of Monthaut, where We'd nesday night the Germans in a vio- lent offensive had captured trench elements, drove out the Teutons Thursday and 'e-established their former front in its entirety.
 IT. the west, in the region lying between Soissons and Rheims there has been a continuation of the spir- ited artillery duels on various sectors. notably Vauxallon and Iaffaux, and south of Berry-Au-Bac the Germans for the first time several months carried out sapHlng operation. This netted them portions of trenches which were blown up.
 The intensive fighting along the southern portion of the AustroItalian front has apparently entirely ceased for the moment, the Italians probably being engaged in consolidating posi- tions won and in bringing up their guns for further operations in their campaign against Triest. Along the Isohzo line only artillery duels have been in progress owing to bad weath- CT conditions.
 There has been a renewal of activ- ity by the Italians in Albania and several villages in the southern part of this theater have been taken and held successfully against counterat- tacks of the Teutonic allies. East ward on the entire Macedonian front artillery duels are in progress.
 An indication of the heavy fighting during the month of April is given in an official Br tish statement of cas- ualties during this period, showing that 112,233 British soldiers were killed, wounded or made prisoner. h. cluded in the aggregate are 5,902 officers.
 At the opening of the Austrian par liament Emperor Charles, in his ad. dres from the throne, said it was his unalterable will to exercise his right as a ruler in a truly constitutional spirit and to preserve to the people their share in carrying out the will of the state as provided for in the constitution. The monarch asserted that the welfare of the state could not in time of peace bemOre securely rooted than in the unassailable rights If mature, patriotic and free people.
 The monarch was cheered heartily when he made these statements and again when he referred to the heroic achievements of the Austrian army on the battle front and spoke f Germany as "our faithful German ally

Washington, May 3t.-4Hoarding, storage or destruction of food, fuel or other necessaries of life to limit sup ply or affect prices would be felony under an amendment to the govennr ment's first food bill adopted in the senate today without record vote.
 Several senators protested that the provision was too drastic and would prevent legitimate storing to equalize markets, but ali effoorts t0 modify 1t failed. When Senator Fall proposed that the federal trade commission be empowered to decide whether storing is reasonable Senator Poindexter au- thor Of the amendment, insisted that any such change would weaken the effectiveness of the measure as weapon against spectators.
 Violation of the section would be punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than SIX months nor moro than three years.

FORMER WOMAN SCHOOL
 TEACHER UNDER ARREST
Two of the Men Arrested Had At. tempted to Prevent the Carrying Out of Registration Plans by Ap- pealing to the Court for Restraining Orders.

Kansas City, Mo, May 3l.--F'ederal authorities of western Missouri and Kansas began late today the rounding up of persons suspected of being par ticipants in alleged conscription plots. Four men and one woman were saken into custody here, while at Topeka, Kan, three other men and woman were caught in the net being spread by investigators of the department of justice, the secret service and the United States attorneys office.
 The arrests here were only the first of what Francis D. Wilson, federal attorney for this section of Missouri, said would reach a large number be- fore the conyening of the special grand jury called by United States Judge A. $. Van Valkenbergh to con sider only cases growing out of al legged violations of the registration act. Those arrested here were charged with having conspired to aid and abet persons subject to registra tion to evade the requirements of the conscription act. The maximum pen. atty was said 10 be imprisonment ol two years and a fine of $l0000.
 Two of those arrested here--Ray Y mond T. Moore and Thomas Sullivan earlier in the day had sought un. successfully to obtain an injunction in the Jackson county circuit court to prevent Governor Gardner, Mayor Edwards and other officials from en- forcing the registration next Tues day. Judge Daniel Bird had denied all points in their petition and their attorney, J. D. Shewalter, was ob. taining a certified appeal petition when secret service agents arrested them before they had left the court house.
 Rapidly the federal authorities ar. rested six others, two of them later were released, Of the three others held, one was Moores wife. She was Miss Leonora Warneson, the public school teacher who came into con. f let with school board authorities here recently after she had written notices on the black. board of her school room. The other two were Eiea I<uboShcy, 6 photog rapher, and II. D. Kleinschmidt of Corder, Mo. They were arraigned before Federal Commissioner Harry

HnICn two years ago would haVe been regarded as little short of marvellous.
 The infantry activity lately has been confined wholly to raids and minor local attacks. These are conducted mainly for the purpose of keeping ill touch with the enemy's movements and intentions. Both the British ana Germans have adopted these tactics and the few hours of darkness lately are filled with trench marauding ex- petitions.
 The Germans appear daily to grow more nervous and worried by the pres ent lull. They are watching the Brit tsh with catlke alemncss. The slightest alarm during the night sets their guns going and many defensive barnage curtains have been projected uselessly in front of the British posi-. tons. Some of their airplanes also are taking desperate chances in flying low over the line endeavorlng to keep in toddh with any important move ment.
 The German government continues to fill the air with wireless propanda against the British virtually ignoring all the other allies, including ahe Unit ed States, The trench version in the Arras district of Emperor Williams re- cent speech was to the effect that mo British prisoners should be taken that the Germans should hate all Eng. lts.h and that if they could not avoid taking some prisoners they were 10 treat them with the greatest severity Emperor William was at Douai and Tournai May 2l and made speeches at both places.
