FREAKS WITH GERMANY
Argentine About to Align Herself
With Kaiser's Enemies.

Argentine About to Align HerseIl
With Kaiser's Enemies.
Buenos Aires, Sept. 2O.-The Ar
gentine senate, by vote OF Is to J.
declared a break of diplomatic re-
lations with Germany last night.
Foreign Minister Pueyrredon ap-
reared before the Senate last mght
and read all the dispatches that passed
between Argentina and Germany up
to the dismissal of Count LuXburg
as charge d'atfairs. He said that no
further explanations or negotiations
were pending.
Senator Gonzales spoke for three
hours. He bitterly arraigned German
diplomacy throughout. its history
since Bismarck. He concluded by
moving the resolution to break dip
lomatic relations with Germany.
The motion was seconded by Sen
ator Roca, who, in an equally spirited
speech, pointed to the destruction
of Argentine shipping and to Ger
many's policy Of taking advantage OF
a militarily weak country, humlliat-
ing the republic before the world.
Argentine's national reputation, how
ever, the senator declared, was
price that would never be conceded.
His words were greeted by tremend-
out cheers. Then the vote was taken.
External and internal pressure Is
operating upon the nations of South
America in such a manner as to drive
them toward war against Germany.
Within six months they will all be
embroiled, as the war is going. The
reports from South American CAPT
tails and the observation of best
qualified judges confirm the state
ment made to me by one Of the lead
ing men of the Latin race. He said:
"If there is war in the summer Of
1918, all the republics of this hemls-
phere will be in it."
