GERMANY DISAPPRovED
of the Manner of Expression Used by
Count Luxburg.

Buenos Aires, Sept. ls.-Dr. Luis B.
Molina, the Argentine minister at Ber-
lin, yesterday informed the Argentine
foreign office by cable that the German
government had expressed regrets over
the actions of Count Won Luxburg, the
German minister to Argentina DIR. Mo-
lima reported that Baron Won Dem Bus
sche Haddenhausen, under secretary of
the German foreign Office, had informed
him that Germany disapproved abso-
lutely of expressions used by Count Won
Luxburg in his dispatches. The under
secretary, who acted for DR.. Won Kuechl-
mann, the German foreign secretary,
during his absence in Munich asked the
Argentine minister to request the Ar
gentine government to notify Count Won
Luxburg that the German government
wished him to return Immediately to
Germany to explain the matter personal
ly. DIR. Molina was asked to obtain a
safe conduct for Count Won Luxburg.
Count Won Luxburg announced yester-
day that he probably would sail on Sept.
2S for Bilbao, Spain, on Spanish
steamer.
Foreign Minister Pueyrredon, after
reading DR.. Molina's cablegram, an
nounced that he declined to accept the
assurances of Baron Won Dem Bussche
Haddenhausen as satisfactory settle
ment of the Luxburg incident, because it
was merely the verbal statement of an
under-secretary. The Argentine foreign
office is awaiting formal note from the
German government before closing the
incident.

of the most remarkable of French mill

of 300 yards, discovered the position of
a division of Bavarian infantry in the
region of Vaux Marie, signalled it to the

machine riddled with bullets and she'll
fragments. When the French infantry

SECOND DRAFT LIKELY.
Out of the 7,2oo,ooo Men Still Eligible to
Be Called.

Washington, D. c., Sept. ls.-Replie,

been received to the telegram sent then
by the provost marshal-general, re
questing their opinion as to the adyisa.
bility Of continuing the examination OF
the draft eligibles until the entire TO-.
| 100000 registered men have been passed
upon. There are approximately 7,200,-
600 men who remain eligible for future
drafts, and it now appears certain that
at least one more call viii be made. :
According to officials connected with
the draft, the plan Of continuing exami
nations has many advantages and some
drawbacks, particularly the probability
that men who might now be exempted
would later find themselves in circum-
stances that would warrant their service
with the eolors.
But it was pointed out that all dis
charges and exemptions from the draft
are merely temporary except in cases
where there is no opportunity for the
present circumstances of the eligible to
change and they can be recalled at any
time. The eligible is held responsible
by law for keeping his local board in
formed of any change of circumstances
that may alter his claim for exemption
or discharge.
THE first draft Is estimated to be APP
proximately 90 per cent. completed, so
that there is still some time for deci-
sion as TO whether the existing boards
viii continue their sessions and com
plete examination of their entire rolls.
Already 2,S00000 men have been called
by the 5.400 boards now sitting, and
most of the remaining work is that in
the hands of the boards of appeals. A
tentative report on the draft is now be-
ing made up by the provost marshal
generals office. that will show the per-
centages and classes of men called, ex-
amined, accepted and rejected.
