Believed That Publication of the Docu-
ments Will Lead to New Demands
for Severance of Relations

Buenos Aires.-This city was the
scene of another violent anti-German

publication Of the Count Won Luxburg

Heavy guards again have been
placed over the property owned by the
Germans in the city and mounted men
also are guarding the office of the
newspaper La Union, for which Count
Won Luxburg obtained a subsidy.
In political circles certainty is ex-
pressed that congress will demand ex-
plantations from the government re-
garding the state of affairs as exposed
by the Won LuXburg kilograms. The
general belief is that the publication Of
the documents will lead to new de-
mands for the severance of relations
with Germany, congress having al
ready refused to sanction the budget
appropriation for continuing the Ar
gentine legation in Berlin, which was
insisted on by the organs Of President
Irigoyen. Argentina is seething with
demands for war on Germany, it is de-
clared.
