Big Week Is Ahead
for the Smoke Fund

A FITTING opener to what
promises to be a great week
for The Sun Tobacco Fund was
that great baseball game at the
Polo Grounds yesterday. The
fund is close to the $4,000 mark
now and destined to take a
notable shoot in the very near
future.
Beginning tonight the fund
will have possession of a stage
box at the Harris Theatre, to hold
until the conclusion of the
"Daybreak" engagement, which
promises to be a long one. The
box is the gift of Selwyn & Co..
and will be auctioned from day
to day by some of the most
popular stage and musical stars.
Its occupants will be announced
regularly.
During the whole of next week
the country wide campaign of the
more than $4,000 American
Junior Naval and Marine Scouts
will be on. They are going to
sell their splendid official march
song for the fund.
Ever faithful friends and sup
porters are those contribution
boxes in the Schultz and United
Cigar Stores. Don't forget to
deposit your coupons and certifi-
Gates. Every one of them helps.

BUENos AYREs, Argentina, Sept. 2S.-
Just as the Argentine Chamber Of Depu-
ties early this morning was preparing
to vote on the question OF breaking dip
lofnatio relations with Germany an Of
ncial communication was received from
the Berlin Foreign once.
The note disapproved Of the ideas OK
pressed by Count Luxburg. the German
Minister here. regarding Germany's
Cruiser warfare" The word "cruiser'
left some doubt In the minds Of Govern
ment officials as to whether or not Ger
many intended TO modify her submarine
campaign. A declaration by Argentina
on Germany, however. WAS postponed by
the receipt Of the German note.
Foreign Minister Pueyrredon later
gave out two notes. which he had re-
ceived from DR.. Luis B. Molina, the
Argentine Minister at Berlin.
The first reada:

be more ample or definite. This note
was delivered personally to me by the
Imperial Chancellor. who has Just re-
turned from Munich and who repeated
the sentiments Of the note In a most ex.
pressive and definite manner. There is
no doubt. therefore. that the German
Empire condemns the conduct OF Lux.
burg. whose opinions were purely per
sonal. and 1t disapproves absolutely
You may be sure the German Govern.
ment will faithfully keep its promises"
The second message says:
Il have to inform you OF the untrutf
! Of the report sent ont by the enemies Of
Germany that the Kaiser has sent Lux
burg a message approving his conduct
and has offered another diplomatic pos
to him. The Government has denied the
report by wireless"
Last week Baron Won dem Bussche
Haddenhausen, the German Under Sec
retary Of State. offered verbal explana
tion to DR.. Molina, but this was consid
, cred insufficient. Foreign Ministe
Pueyrredon also refused to accept an ex
p4anation from a German Under Secre
tary. declaring that the offer must COM
directly from the Foreign Office. II i

ITEMS Of: INTEREST To Hawaii
FROM mainland NEWSPAPERS

PORTLAND, Sept. 11.-Germans
succeeded in introducing germs of the
dread disease anthrax, among the cat
tie of Hawaii and destroyed several
hundred head, besides implanting a
disease which it may require gen.
GRAFTON TO eradicate, declares Judge
Alexander Lindsay, Jr., formerly cir
cult Judge of Hawaii and attorney
general of Hawaii, who was a visitor
in Portland, Monday. One man con-
tracted the disease, continued Judge
Lindsay, but by prompt treatment his
life was saved.
"A dairyman in Honolulu went out
to his barn one morning and found SO
COWS dead Judge Lindsay said: "a
famous veterinarian, DR.. Norgaard,
was called in. He diagnosed the trou-
BILE as anthrax.
within a few weeks outbreaks of
similar character were reported on the
islands of Maui and Kauai. Both
cattle and horses succumbed.
Had the disease not been intro
duced by hostile influence, it would
have affected one COW in herd, and
then perhaps others. The fact that
scores of cattle died simultaneously
demonstrates that they were inocu-
lated simultaneously by an unscrupu'
lous enemy. A rigorous quarantine
has oeen established and we hope to
check the spread Of the disease which
would otherwise speedily Tavage the
herds of the islands,"
The Hawaiian situation as related
by Judge Lindsay finds a PARALLEL in
discoveries of Rumanian officials at
Bucharest even before the RumanianS
entered the war.
The German di lomG tic staff had
been receiving mysterious packages,
some of which were buried in a gar
den when the staff left. Unearthed
later they were found by analysis to
contain walls CT anthrax and CHAMBERS
cultures, together with high eXplo-
sives. The anthrax cultures were &C
companied with directions fer admin
istering the disease TO horned cattle
either through the mouth = by plac-
ing in the fodder.
Judge Lindsay thinks that the
Portland and Honolulu chambers Of
commerce should Join in plans for
steamship service between the two
points. We of Hawaii would hail
such an arrangement gladly" he said,
land there could be no doubt Of the
profitable business that could be or
ganized. "-Portland Journal.
