are signs that the senate is waking up

ARGENTINA AROUSED.

b a short time ago, when Argentina
: made an agreement with Germany
and accepted German promises as ia
their treatment Of things Argentine,
The World expressed the opinion that
sooner or later Argentina would dis
, cover that she had laid herself liable
- confidence game by a queer
turn Of events, that condition has ar
rived already and 1t has come with II
force and suddenness that is astonish-
Ing. Right now. IL the people OF Ar
gentina could have their will, the re-
public would rush pellmell inDj
conflict with Germany and esteem
themselves privileged to get the chance
Of fighting the kaiser. The German
envoy in Buenos Aires has been hand
cd has passports and mobs have
vented their anger on everything Ger
man that came in their way And
this follows so closely upon the an
nouncement that Argentina had en-
tered into an agreement with Germany
by which she would stay out OF the
war and maintain the attitude Of
friendly neutral. This Germany ex-
Iected OF her, mainly because that re-
public has. with the exception Of the
nited States. probably the largest
German population In the western
hemisphere.
The cause OF all the trouble is the
arrogance and sneaking trickcry Of
Count Won LuXberg. the kaisers rep
resentative at Buenos Aires. The
Argentine government regarded with
little loss OF complacency the fact that
the Swedish foreign office under their
protection had been used as German |
spy agency against the United States. |
but what they refused 10 swallow was |
the brutalIy insulting language used |
by LuNberg regarding Argentine Off |
cials and the fact that he advised his
home government to sink Argentine
vessels so as to leave no sign. 1t was |
bad enough to have him plotting un-
der cover against a friendly nation.
but when their own interests were inn
periled by his methods. they resented
IT in no uncertain terms. All of which
goes to show that the German agent
has no conception of honesty when
that virtue intcrfcres with his service
to the interests Of the fatherland.
LuNberg thot 1t no crime to plot for
German glory udner the protection of
neutral flag, and is surprised and
indignant when called to account for
the same. But whatever happens
Argentine confidence in Germany is
wrecked forever and her best friend
In the new world is lost.

the auspices OF the Young Mems
Christian association, the first to
take place February Is.

AUTO MEN FACE
ACUTE PROBLEM
More Demand for Show Space
Than Can Be Provided in
Auditorium.
DEALERS TACKLE TASK

Clarke G.. Powell, manager OF the
Omaha Automobile show, is con-
fronted by a most serious problem
and he has called in the dealers to
help him solve the difficulty. The
trouble is that from twelve TO fiji
teen more dealers want space at the
show this year than we're accom-
modatcd last year, when all the space
was used
How to meet this problem is caus
ing plenty Of worry. Dealers OF the
west have come to look upon the
Omaha show as Corker, where
every type of auto which is of any
value to the westerners is displayed,
They have long realized that there is
no use for them to go to the New
York or Chicago show, because they
can do all the business they want and
secure all the cars they need right
at the Omaha exhibition.
Space, Space, Space.
Automobile men met at the Com
mercial club at noon to~~fgure out
some way of securing more space.
One move which has already been
made is the elimination of tractors
from the basement. This will give
more room for the trucks, of which
there are an added number this year.
In fact, all the basement space is
now spoken for.
To care for pleasure cars is the next
problem. With the twelve to fifteen
new dealers who want space more
room must be provided or the dealers
will each have to take less space. This
the dealers do not want to do, as all
want to show all the models possible.
Mr.. Powell says that if he had twice
the space at his disposal he could
easily rent it.
One plan under consideration is to
build floor across the Auditorium
on level with the lower seats of the
balcony, as was done at the corn
show. The trouble with this would
be in making the floor strong enough
to carry the load of autos and people.
Another scheme being considered is
to ask the city commissioners to va
cate Fifteenth street in front of the
Auditorium for show week and then
to house over Fifteenth street, as was
done at the land show These prob
lens will have to be worked out
quickly, as the time is drawing near,
the show being scheduled for the last
of next month.
Mr.. Powell says that the show this
year will be just as comprehensive
an exhibition as will be held any
where in the entire country
