shattered the ranks badly and caused
a hasty retreat. Shortly afterward
numbers Of the enemy were seen
running eastward from Masselmarkt,
evidently having had too strong a
taste of the barrage fire.
At the left the Canadians and Eng
lish pushed rapidly across the Paddle
beck river and assaulted numerous
enemy defenses on the eastern, bank.
The ground was in very poor condi-
ton. The Paddebeek was not in
flood, but the whole country sur
rounding it was a marsh in which
the men floundered miserably. To
add to their troubles there were
hundreds of shell holes filled with
water into which they often plung-
ed and from which they were extri-
Gated with difficulty. .r..
Such strongholds as Sourd farm
and Cource farm maintained a heavy
machine gun fire against them from
the moment the advance began. In
spite of these difficulties they push
ed their line forward and establish
ed contact with the Canadians on
their right. fs

enemy turned a heavy machine gun

when they closed in, fought bitterly
to retain a hold on their concrete
defense. But Friesland copse fell
and the Canadians pushed on up the
slopes.
The infantry, working eastward
along the crest of the Passchendaele
ridge toward the village, progressed
rapidly although under a severe fire
from many points. Crest farm, just
north of the highway, put up a
strenuous resistance. The farm was
heavily armed with rapid fire guns

rifles and bombs. ~
While the British were struggling
with the enemy at Crest farm, the
troops on their left were meeting

artillery came to the rescue with
such an intense fire against the Ger

After the state department made
public the sink without a trace"
messages which caused Argentina to
hand Won Luxburg his passports, the
Argentine government sent to Wash

Plot to Invade Brazil.
Recently press reports from Buenos
Aires said a sensation had been
created there by the publication of
a dispatch from Rio Janeiro, saying
the Brazilian foreign minister had
made known that translations of the
Luxburg messages revealed a Ger
man plot to invade southern Brazil.
The Argentine newspapers demanded

their publication by a foreign gov
eminent" M
The reorganization OF south Brazil
referred to by Won Luxburg is as
sumed here to refer to the activities
Of the Hamburg colonization COM
pany in connection with the large
German element already located in
that section. Several months before
this dispatch was written, there were
reports of plans for German in
surFection. -.r.
The break between Argentina and
Germany, which Won Luxburg. ap-,
parently was expecting in July, has
not yet come. Latest advices fnom
Buenos Aires do not indicate any
intention by the Argentine govern
ment to join Brazil and other South
American nations on the side of the
allies. Won Luxburg, who was kept
in detention camp for a time after
his exposure, is expected to sail for
home Nov. 1, the allies having agreed
to grant him safe conduct for the
