fBy Review Leased v-irel

BUENOS AIRES. Sept. 26.-Serfous
disorders occurred in various parts of
the capital today as the result of an
anti-German manifestation and strike
agitations. AS an outcome of the
firing upon street cars by strikers or
sympathizers an inspector was killed
and several persons wounded.
In sympathy with the anti-German
demonstration of this afternoon Dus.-
ness houses in the city closed their
doors.
A naval squadron has arrived with
forces to take charge of the icty water
works and power houses.

is preparing a message to congress in
which he will advocate that there be
no rupture with Germany until the re-
ceipt of the translation of hundreds Of
kilograms received or sent by the
Swedish legation here. copies of when

1t is considered probable in many
quarters. however, that the popular de-

Argentina before the government has

she was willing to restore Alsace-Lor-

to these questions was wort column

BERLIN. Tuesday, Sept 25.-The
pan-German activities which have been

pected to find an echo in the prelimi-

The call concludes with the dec
laration that the rea iZation of the
