in favor OF ample support OF all the

FIREWORKS EXPECTED WHEN GERMAN
RE|CASTAG MEETS AGAIN TOMORROW

Over all, however, 1t appears that
the "revolters" may be beginning to
realize that sweering reforms"
promised by the kaiser are still
empty promises, and that Hollweg
has been replaced by an even
stronger militarist taskmaster, from
whom there is not the slightest
hope of obtaining any concessions
towards characterization.
The September session of the
reichstag will at once face the ques-
tion of financing Germany for the
next year of the war. Approval of
the budget is virtually the only
power which the reichstag exercises.
The budget should, in the ordinary
course of events, have been approved
at the July sitting, but its considera-
tion was postponed in view of the
radical revolt. The radicals, If they
are truly in earnest, have it in their
power beginning tomorrow serious
ly to embarrass the autocratic gov
ernment by Withholding approval of
the money measure.
According to word from Holland
and Switzerland the reichstag mem
bers are likely also to attempt ex-
PLANTATION from the chancellor of the
Luxburg incident, at Buenos Aires,
wherein the United States discover
ed that the German charge was
sending messages to his home office
through the Swedish embassy, Reich
stag members will probably be more
concerned in why Count Luxburg
was untactful enough to send the
opinions he did in the fashion dis
covered by the United States.
Germany's food administration ap-
pears likely also to come In for con-
siderable criticism.

ARGENTINE IS ON
THE EDGE OF WAR
Buenos Aires, Sept. 25.-(I.ate
Dispatch) The chamber of deputies
voted 53 to 1S In favor of rIpturc
with Germany.

Argentine Is mobilizing her navy
and there Is much military activity
in the republic, Ostensibly this ac-
tion is due to the general strike OF
Argentine railroad men. but 1t is re-
ported the general STAFF is prepar-
ing for other probable eventualities.
The legislative bodies of Argentine
do not consider the question of dip
lomatc relations with Germany as
being closed, hut no action has yet
been taken.
The authorities have been advised
that tho strike at Santa Fe for the
past month has been fomented by
German propaganda II Ia feared
that the strike may assume nationa'
proportions. hence the government
is withholding the formation OF q
policy until four hundred messages
sent by the Swedish legation here
have been translated.

What was probably the last con-
tingent Of recruits to pass through
this city for some time. vert break
tasted at 6:45 this morning. The
same arrangements as had prevailed
the first two mornings were carried
out and everything moved on like
clockwork. The !. local committee
was complimented by oficials OF the
Southern Pacific with the statement
that the organization was all that
could be desired and the best OF any
point along the line.
Prior to the arrival of the trains,
the recruits had been. assigned to
squads and each squad numbered.
Groups OF uniformed Boy Scouts
with placards bearing the respec-
tive numbers, we're ready at the sta
tion and marched their respective
companies to the seven dining rooms

The hearty thanks. of the COM
munity, and particularly Of the Red
Cross chapter, are due the women
who have so willingly and capably
handled this affair. They have
worked hard. early and late. and at
considerable personal sacrifice. As
result Of that work. Grants Pass
has an added mark to its credit and
a splendid reputation among the sew
eral thousand army boys who have
passed through.
The Boy Scouts. too, deserve
word of praise. They did what was
asked of them in first class manner.
The heavy movement of drafted
troops through the city for Ameri-
can Lake, is practically at an end,
and by tonight 1t is thought that the

tary trains have greatly disorganized
the passenger and freight service of
the Southern Pacific for several
days. Nearly all passenger trains
have been delayed.

New York, Sept. 25.--There may
be some fireworks of the German
brand, when the reichstag meets in
Berlin tomorrow.
II will be the first session of the
German parliament since Chancellor
George Michaelis was inducted into
office, in July. The centerists and
members of the left party combined
at that time in demands that the
government state its position on the
reichstag formula of peace without
annexations" and also that equal
suffrage be granted. The upshot
was the tumbling from power of
Chancellor Won Bethmann Hollweg.
Michaels was appointed. made n
non-committal address to the reich
stag outlining his policies, and the
reichstag sitting adjourned,
Since that time considerable op-
position has developed against Mi
chaelis according to word which has
Just leaked out OF Germany. Ger
tain Of the extreme radical elements
in Germany have not hesitated to
declare that Michaelis is even more
representative of the militarists than
Hollweg. His refusal to date clear
ly to outline his policies have made
even the near-radicals distrustful of
him, DR., Matthias Erzberger. the
clerical (Catholic) leader who as
sumed leadership OF the ''revolters"
in the July session of the reichstag,
has been quoted recently as severely
critical OF Michaells.
Erzberger, a Catholic, is un-
doubdtely anxious that Germany go
the limit In voicing acceptance Of
Pope Benedict's recent peace sug-
gestions. He may seek to force
Michaelis' hand on this matter,
