WORDS OF LUXBURG
GERMAN FOREIGN SECRETARY
SAYS Won LUxBURG ACTED
WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
DENIAL MAY PREVENT WAR

Buenos Aires, Argentina (via Gal
weston, Tex.)-The government here
has received dispatch from it's lega-
ton in Berlin in which Germany OFF,
cially expressed her disapproval of the
actions of Count Won Luxburg in rec
ommending that Argentina's vessels be
sunk without leaving trace of them.
The dispatch was from the minister of
the Argentine Republic in Berlin and
was received by Senior don Honorlo
Pueyrredon, minister for foreign af-
fairs. The dispatch was dated at Ber-
lin.
Referring to my dispatch No. 149,
DR.. Won Kuhlmann, German foreign
secretary, who returned here yester-
day from Munich, has handed to me to.
day the following reply to our note:
Acknowledging your note dated
Sept. IA, in which was contained the
announcement that Count Won Luxburg
no longer is persona grata to the gov
ernment of Argentina, have the hon
or to state that the imperial German
government greatly deplores the
events which have occurred and that
1t absolutely and unequivocally disap-
proves the ideas expressed by Count
Won Luxburg In the dispatches which
were published by our enemies with
regard to the form for carrying on
our cruiser warfare.
q
They had not. and will not, have any
influence on the decisions or on the as.
surances of the imperial German gov.
ernment.'"
In his dispatch to Senior Pueyrredon,
Senior Molina Argentina's minister 20
Berlin, said that DR.. Won kuhlmann
went to great length to signify his gov.
ernment's rejection of the Won Lux
burg dispatches. Senior Molina added
that the German press was unanimous
in its condemnation of Count Won Lux
burg's conduct.
Senior Pueyrredon, Immediately on
receipt of this dispatch from Senior
Molina, hastened to the chamber of
deputies to place it before that body.
The session, however, was temporarily
suspended, and the deputies were leav'
ing the chamber when Senor Pueyrre-
don arrived there.
Many deputies remained to hear
what he had to say. Later Senor Acre,
one of the leaders In the chamber Of
deputies, declared. that the dispatch
in no way modified the situation. De-
spite this statement by him. it ap-
peared that among certain deputies
the disapproval by DR.. Won Kohlmann
was not without at least some effect.

For military reasons 1t is impossi-

have been working continually in a
zone covered by German guns and al
ready two have been wounded, fact
whereof they are exceedingly proud.
Our correspondent heard these men
we're here and sought them out. The
visit involved a long motor trip, but
their bronzed faces and their cheer
ful, determined voices, more than re-
paid for the long journey.
They are fine, healthy looking lot.
and nearly two months of hard work
In the open under real campaign con-
ditions has made them ready for any
thing.
Anxious for Fight.
Especially are they prepared and
anxious to try honors with the Ger

they are not permitted, except where
necessity demands, to expose them
selves to the enemy's big guns. I'm

Gently, American officers had hard
time keeping their men out of British
front line trenches. 1t is said that
more than one American soldier had
crept away when off duty and. after
making friends with the "Tommies," !"
had taken his place beside them for a
few glorious minutes. while a minor
battle was progressing.

to live &c years longer and see the
greatest and most renowned summer

been isolated aud unknown to the
world being located in the heart of
the Rocky mountains between two
transcontinental railroads passing on
the north and south.
Ever since the completion OF these
two transcontinental railroads. l have
diligently and persistently pointed out
to the Powers that Be- the advis-
ability of building branch lines to
reach both ends of the lake. using
water transportation for the connect
ing link between the railroad termin-
ais, thus uniting the north and south
portions OF the state of Montana, as
well as the two national parks stu
ated within it's borders.
The great ambition Of my life will
soon be realized. A branch line touch

has been in operation for some time
and q branch line from the south, Il

Let All Cooperate,

The President is learned man.
There are wise men in Congress also,
just as there were brave men before
Agamemnon; some of these wise men
IN Congress were there before the
President came and some of them will
be there after he has gone. 1t will do
him no harm to have their counsel
and it will do the country no harm If
he takes their counsel. War is the
gravest of national undertakings, and
even the highest personal regard for
the President cannot make one feel
that he alone is to be clothed with the
responsibility for determining how it
shall be conducted. 1t is best for the
President. best for the country, best
for humanity that both the President
and Congress should be actively CO.
operating during the continuance of
war conditions. AS the Springfield
Republican so we'll says, the creation
of a joint Congressional committee on
the conduct of the war. as connect
ing link between the executive and
legislative departments, would be in
complete harmony with American pre-
cedents, and need not be looked upon
with disfavor in any quarter.
