The War AtA Glance

The rush evidently was success
full at the outset, FOR the capture
Of positions Of value was re-
ported by field marshal Sir Doug
las Haig during the forenoon and
the progress made was described
as satisfactory.
The renewal Of the offensive
came after a long pause in which
intensive preparatory work had
been carried on increasingly.
The objective Of the attack it
would seem is Of driving a wedge
further into the German Flanders
front and eventually compelling
a German abandonment OF TIE
Belgian coast. with its valuable
submarine and aerial bases The
civil population is recently re-
ported TO have been removed from
towns in the German rear along
a wide stretch Of this front.

There is a strong public feeling in

Surprise To L. 5.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 20.-News
that the Argentine senate had voted
Overwhelmingly to sever diplomatic
relations with Germany was received
in Washington tonight with gratifi-
cation and no little surprise.
Officials had recognized that recent
disclosures concerning cablegrams
sent to Berlin by the German minis
ter at Buenos Aires through the
Swedish foreign office had aggra-
waited the situation brought about by
Germany's sinking Of Argentine ships,
but il had been assumed that. with
the German minister handed his pass
ports, no further official action would
De taken pending receipt OF Berlin S
explanation Of the messages.
Argentina Would Be Welcomed.
Although it is understood the state
departments purposes in making pub
lie copies Of the cableRrams was only
to expose the German government
worldwide system OF duplicity and
intrigue, it is no secret that Argen-
tina's participation in the war would
be welcomed
Even the breaking OF OF relations.
IL is pointed out, would have a power
ful effect on public opinion in all
South America countries where Ger
man influences are known to be
strong.
That action also probably would re-
suit in considerable material benefit
to the allies BY restricting Argentine
grain and meat exports to neutral
countries through which they might
find their way TO Germany Argen-
tina now is the only great neutral
food producing country.
