Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Sept 12-The ad- ministration trading with the enemy blll, which passed the house without dissenting vote last July, was passed by the senate late today with many amendments, including one giving the president power to embargo imports and prohibiting publication of war com- ment in the German language unless accompanied in a parallel column by a translation in English.
 Other important provisions interdict commerce between Americans and Germans or the latter's allies, give the president broad powers to regulate operations of enemy insurance com panies in this country, and extend espionage powers.
 The import embargo amendment, added today at the administrations re- quest, would extend present presiden- tial powers over export trade, to im- ports as well.
 The bill passed the senate after two days of listless debate heard by an av- craze of less than a dozen members, without a roll call and virtually with out objection.
 fhe amendment restricting publica- tions in German adopted by viva voce vote, was offered by Senator King and is subject to elimination in conference It provides:
 That during the pendency of the present state of war and until peace shall be concluded and the fact de- clared by proclamation of the presi- dent, it shall be unlawful for any per son, firm or association to print or publish or cause to be printed or pub lished in the German language any cor'nents resr ecting the government of the United States or of any nation with which Germany is at war, its poli- cies. international relations, state or conduct of the war, or of any matter relating thereto, without printing or publishing in a column parallel to such matter, a true and complete transla- non of the same in the English lan- guage.

 The commander and owners of the Anvil were given a clean bill by the federal authorities.
 The federal officers said tonight that their expectation, announced today, of finding aboard the Anvil men believed to have been implicated in the blow ing of the Mare Island navy yard powder arsenal last summer, had not been realized.

COLUMBUS. N. M., Sept. l2-An- nouncement of their intention to return to Bisbee ito settle their affairs and get their effects was contained in tel egrams to Governor Thomas E. Camp bell of Arizona and to President Wilson today by the executive committee Of the men deported from Bisbee, Ariz.. .July 12 and who are in camp here. The telegrams were sent after the men had failed to receive replies to tele- grams sent to Washington Saturday and yesterday protesting against the reduction of the rations supplied to the exiles by the military authorities here.
 The telegram to Governor Campbell says:
 "Unless the federal government re- stores rations we will leave Columbus Six hundred men here have belongings in Bisbee and will go there to settle their affairs and get their belongings We demand state protection during stay there."
 The message addressed to President Wilson reads:
 "Bisbee deportees cannot exist on half rations. We are proceeding to Bisbee without protection or funds. II we are again deported and some killed or injured we feel that you had chance to protect us and would not do so. Common American citizens here now convinced they have no consti- tutional right"

SITUATION |S ACUTE IN RUSSIA
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

While optimism seems to prevail in the provisional government in Russia that a successful issue of the counter soon will be returned in favor of Pre- mer Kerensky the situation still re- mains most acute. All the dispatches from Petrograd at preseit are emanat- ing from the provisional government or supporters of Kerensky.
 Late reports from Petrograd are to the effect that korniloffs march an Petrograd has been checked and that even his retreat had been cut off by forces faithful to the provisional gov ernment: also that there have been further defections from the ranks of Korniloff and that a great majority of the commanders at the front are still adhering to the government.
 Meanwhile the spirit of unrest seems to have invaded Moscow, where martial law has been declared and government forces are maintaining order.
 One of the brightest spots in the sit uation is the offer to the central com mittee of the constitutional democratic party to aid in the constitution of the cabinet so as to avoid civil war.
 Of great interest on the political side of the war also is the action of the Ar genuine government in sending pass ports to the German minister for his connection with dispatches sent to Ger many of the minister's action. and it is said, will withdraw her minister if a favorable reply is not forthcoming
 On the battle fronts the military ac- tivity generally is far below that of past weeks. On the line in France and Belgium only artillery duels and com paratively small operations by the in- fantry are being carried out. Some fur ther advances have been made by the French in the Champagne. near St. Soupler
 Monte San Gabriel. in the Austro- Italian theater. has been the scene of another vicioue attacle hy the Austria ms in an unsuccessful endeavor to Ciislodge the Italians from recently captured po- sitions.

 Great Britair's losses in large rnnr- chant vessels sunk by mines or subma- rines last week were the smallest since Germany began her intensive subma- rive campaign. Only twelve large yes- sels were destroyed.

luxburg Given Passports

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 12-The Ar gentina government at noon today sent to the German legation passports to German minister in Buenos Aires The whereabouts of Count Luxburg is still unknown to the Argentina government.
 The Argentina foreign office today sent a communication to the German foreign ministry demanding an eX- planation of Count Luxburg's action in sending the secret code messages to Berlin through the Swedish legation.
 It was officially announced here that if Germany failed to disapprove of Count won Luxburg's action, Argentina the Berlin government disapproved of his course, the status quo would be maintained.
 The note sent by Foreign Minister Pueyrredon to Count von Luxburg in which the German minister was ten dered his passports reads:
 MT. Minister:
 You having ceased to be persona grata to the Argentina government, that government has decided to deliv- CT to you your passports which I transmit herewith by order of his ex- cellency, the president of the nation.
 "The introducer of embassies has instructions to assist you in your inn mediate departure from the territory of the republic. God keep you.
 (Signed) "H PUEYRREDON. "To Karl von Luxburg, Envoy Ex-
 traordinary and Minister Plenipo-
 tentiary of the German Empire
 The decision to hand Count von LUX burg his passports was reached by President Irigoyen after a conference with the foreign secretary, but with out consulting the cabinet, which had been called to meet this evening and receive Ambassador Naon's dispatches from Washington. The president main tained that the matter was grave enough to warrant his immediate de- cision.
 It is believed unlikely that any ac- tion will be taken toward Sweden, yes terdays explanation by the Swedish legation apparently satisfying the gov ernment that Baron Lowen acted in Eood faith in forwarding the tele- grams. the contents of which were un known to him.
 During the three days that elapsed while the government was satisfying itself as to the accuracy of the expo sures made in Washington, the public, despite the gravity of the accusations, responded to the appeals of govern ment officials and the newspapers by refraining from any anti-German dem onstrations.
 The feeling of the Argentine public in the present instance was manifested today. however, when immense crowds in front of the newspaper bulletin boards cheered the news that Count von Luxburg would have to leave the republic.

COURSE DURING WAR ID BE DETERMINED
 BY GERMAN ANSWER
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Sept. 12-Argen- tinas course for the remainder of the war probably will be determined by Germany's answer to the demand sent from Buenos Aires that the Berlin gov ernment disavow the action of it's min ister Tn advising the sinking of Argen- the ships without leaving any trace and in calling the Argentine foreign minister a notorious asS.'
 Whether Germany will force the big South American country into the list of her enemies is a question of more immediate interest here than the out come of Sweden's part in transmitting the German messages. By many of ficials it is regarded as improbable that Berlin will fail to take advantage promptly of the loop hole left by Ar gentinas offer to maintain status quo in return for repudiation of the min ister's action.
 Acceptance would be regarded here as tantamount to fixing Argentina s part in the war, since sinking of more ships is improbable with only neg ligible number of trans Atlantic vessels flying the Argentine flag.
