Argentina to the verge of war with
Germany; the Won Eckhardt letter
from Mexico City and the Won Bern

The latest story is told in a report

eminent. On Aug. 81, 1916, the even
ing prior to the date of Rumania's
declaration of war, some Of the cases
were taken t. the German legation,
located in a different building from
the consulate.
Convinced that the boxes were not
taken away from the legation by the
German diplomatic mission on it's de-
parture from Bucharest, the Ru-
manian authorities later ordered the
police to find and examine their on
tents. The police communicated with
American Minister Vopicka, then in
charge of German interests, who re-
luctantly assigned Secretary Andrews
to observe the search.
Fifty-one boxes were taken from
the ground in the garden. Fifty of
them contained each a cartridge filled
with trinitrotoluene saturated with
mononitrotoluene. among the most
powerful explosives known, one-fifth
of each one being sufficient to tear
up a railroad track.
In the other box were bottles of
liquid found to be civilizations of the
