e.nn and impressive holy day and Is
practically unanimously observed by
the Jewish people The tenor of the

the ceaseless fight of time. upon the
certain passing of life and the neces-
sity OF overlooking the ledger of moral
account.
1t emphasizes the doctrine that life
Is a noble opportunity of which hui
mainly must make the very best pos
sible use. One OF the symbolic fea-
lures of the service Is the blowing of
the shofar or rams horn. whose shrill
notes are intended to be the awaken
ing trumpet of conscience.
Services will be held in all the syn
agogues in Richmond on both Sunday
evening and Monday morning. Those
at Beth Ahabah begin Sunday evening
at 8 o'clock and Monday morning at
10 o'clock. DIR. e. N. Calisch win

The report that the Blues would

ARGENTINA ALIGNED
ON SIDE OF ALLIES;
SWEDEN MAY FOLLOW
Count Luxburg VIII Be Forced to
Leave South American Country
Whose ships He said
Should BE Sunk

Washington, Sept. 12.-Argentina
already is aligned on the side of the
entente allies.
Sweden may be so allied within the
next twenty-four hours.
These are todays features of the
duplicity of Count Luxburg in advis-
ing the sinking OF Argentine ships by
sending such message through the
Swedish foreign office to Berlin.
In Sweden quarters ii was learned
today that the Stockholm foreign Of
flee will present 10 Berlin demands
for an explanation Of Luxhurg's con-
duct only second in vigor to the rep
reservations OF Argentine.
Sweden alleges that her diplomats
were as grossly deceived as was the
government of Argentina. II is now
reported that the offensive messages
were presented for transmission
through Sweden on the assurance of
the honor of Count Luxburg that
they contained no matter offensive
to the entente.
Ii is known that the state depart
ment has other documents In the
transaction fha+-ha ra-Esee- been
made public 1t is believed that both
DR.. Naon. the Argentine minister.
and Baron Arkelheim. counsellor Of
the Swedish legation, have been per-
mitted TO learn the character of these
documents and that they nave recon-
mended to their governments to be
advised thereby.
The Argentine embassy received to-
day reports OF very strenuous pro-
ally demonstrations in Buenos Aires.
Official confirmation of the press dis
patches telling of the expulsion Of
Count Luxhurg by Argentine was
given the state department by DIR.
Daon today. Members OF the EN-
hassy staff have confidently asserted
that the ruling sentiment In Argen-
tina was one of kinship with the en-
tente and especially of friendship for
the United States.
Count Luxburg, according to- the
legations information. had not left
Argentine UP to a late hour this even
ing. He was reported to be in a coun-
try resort, IT was predicted. how
ever. that he would be out of the
country within twenty four hours.
In view of the authenticity of the
documents revealed by Secretary Lam
sing it is not believed that Berlin can
make an explanation that will be
satisfactory to Buenos Aires. A break
