TO CURB SEDITIOUs PRESS
Postmaster General Given Power in
Trading With-Enemy Act to
Stop Publications.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The death
warrant of seditious newspapers was
signed here. The house finally passed
the trading ith-the-enemy act, giving
Postmaster General Burleson almost
unlimited powers for the suppression
of reasonable publications.
II shall enforce the law Mr.. Burle-
son said. II shall enforce it so that
my actions will always pass the scru
tiny of court. The law commands
me to root out the reasonable and Sc
ditious publications, and they will have
to go. Under the law any mail clerk
or carrier who handles such publica-
ton would be guilty of crime. You
can be sure that / am going to protect
my employees. No publication that
does not conform will be admitted to
the mails"

PERU IS NEAR BREAK
South American Republic Sends
UItimatum to Germany.
Demands Satisfaction Within Eight
Days for Sinking of Peruvian
Bark Lorton.

lima Peru, Sept 27.--The govern
ment has instructed the Peruvian min
lister at Berlin to present to the Ger
man government demand that salts
faction be given within eight days for
the sinking of the Peruvian bark Lor-
ton. If the demand is not met dip
lomatic relations will be broken off.
Buenos Aires, Sept. 27.-Argentina
still heSitateS between war and neu-
trality today, while proof piled up that
the general strike throughout the ma
ton was being actively fostered and
aided by German agents.
Best information available was that
President Irigoyen would either main
tain neutrality-or declare war; that
he would not take the middle-o f-the-
road course Of breaking relations. His
decision rests with his Interpretation
of Argentine public sentiment. A
compelling proof of this public state
of mind may be furnished at great
war mass meeting scheduled here.
The vote of the chamber of deputies
for a diplomatic rupture does not put
the question of this step directly up
to President Irigoyen.
Changes in the situation since the
senate vote of % to 1 In favor of a
diplomatic break will require another
vote in the upper house on the same
question before any resolution an
nouncing the congressional support Of
such a step is formally put up to the
president for approval or disapproval.
A powerful impetus to the movement
for break has been given by reports
received here from reliable sources
that Paraguay and Uruguay are on the
verge of such step against Germany.
Chile was reported determined to,
maintain her neutrality.
