ance of Diplomatic Relations.

Buenos Aires, Aug. 7.-Dissatisied
with the progress of negotiations with
Germany growing out of the sinking
of the Argentine steamer Toro, the
Argentine government has sent a final,
categorical note to Berlin requiring a
clear and final reply to the Argentine
demands within a reasonable time.
The reply is expected within eight
days. During this time 1t will be de-
cided whether relations with Germany
shall be broken If the response is a
negative one.
The foreign minister and the Ger
man minister here had been discussing
for the last few days the question. Ar
gentina had been led to believe that
Germany was disposed to agree to the
demands of Argentina not to sink any
more Argentine vessels Eve in the

CANNOT REFUSE BURDEN
CONSTITUTES Task Before Him AS Express
Order From Country to Construct
Strong Government to Garry Out
Principles Already Laid
Down.

Petrograd, Aug. Premier Keren-
sky has returned to Petrograd and
withdrawn his second resignation. He
attended a Ministerial meeting and af-
forwards conferred with various poll
teal leaders.
NJ. Kerensky has issued a manifesto
in which he declares that he consid-
ers 1t impossible when the country is
threatened with defeat without and
d~isintegration within to refuse the
heavy task again entrusted to him,
which he regards as an express order
from the country to construct a strong
revolutionary government to carry out
the principles already laid down.
Memorable Conference Held.
The all-night political conference at
the Winter Palace which was conclud-
ed by the passage of a resolution in
which confidence in Premier Keren-
sky was expressed by each of the five
parties represented and in which he
was invited to form his own cabinet,
was conducted in the strictest order,
but with intense emotion. All the par
Elephants were obviously convinced
that the decision which was to be
reached meant Russia's regeneration
Of her ruin.
The ministers declared the confer.
ence TO be the most momentous event
in the history of the empire since 1913,
when, during the troublous times OF
the Polish war and internal anarchy
the election of the first Romanoff by
a similar conference at Moscow saved
the country from dissolution.
Acclaimed Man of Hour.
The absent Kerensky was acclaimed
the only man invested with the quail
ties necessary to restore order while
preserving liberty. Foreign Minister
Terestchenko declared that peace was
inconceivable, that Russia must pre-
pare to fight throughout the winter
and that Premier Kerensky alone pos
sessed the confidence of the nation.
Coalition Cabinet Urged.
Paul N. Milukoff leader of the Con
stitutional Democrats, stated that his
party was still ready to attempt the
formation of a coalition government
with Kerensky as a chief. When de
bate was resumed Vice Premier Ne
krasoc announced the demands thai
had been made by General Kornilof
for assurances from Petrograd that hi
would have drastic powers, withou
which he would not take over the chic
command of the Russian armies.
A counter revolution exists, added
M. Nekrasoff, and is growing day b.
day. Therefore the restoration Of /;
strong government, he declared, mus
be immediate.

FINAL INCREMENT IS CALLED
$4,000 STATE TROOPS ONE STEP
NEARER TO FRANCE.
Entire National Guard 10 Now In Fed
eral Service and State Guard
Ceases TO Exist.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE final incre.
ment of the National Guard has been
called out. Practically $4,000 state
troops came n step nearer to France.
The entire National Guard Is now in
federal service. Within two or three
weeks they will be modified In South
ern training camps.
There about 100000 drafted men to
be added to the units, bringing the
guard up to it's full war strength OF
435, 900 men.
The third increment called out mum
bers about 1915 men. With the for,
NAL drafting into service the entire
guard will practically cease to exist
as such. New regimental numbers
will be assigned, brigades reorganiz.
ed and all form a coherent part OF
the new United States army.
Only Efficient Men.
With rapidly approaching trench
service in mind, the regiments will be
overhauled all the way down the line
Any inefficient officers found will have
to go. Only men who can stand the
test will retain their positions,
1t Is possible that the new divisional
organization plan will be acted on
by the time the guard reaches camp
n so. there will be still more of q
shakeup.
Troops called out today are from
California, Utah, Arizona, Colorado
New Mexico. Arkansas, Mississippi
Louisiana, Kentucky. Indiana, Kansas
Missouri. Alabama, Georgia and Flo

the Fatherland. Germany's loss in
manpower they admit to be serious.
The whole trend of the statements
made by these captive officers that
they are beginning to fear they may
lose the war. More depressing than
anything else is the fear that there
may be another winter campaign.
Peace without annexation or indem.

have discussed the question.
