Thirty Thousand Parade. De-

Buenos Ayres, April ga powerful
but orderly dem onstration was made
by more than thirty thousand persons
here yesterday afternoon In support OF
the governments policy with Germany
and in sympathy with the Entente
Allies.
The crowds waving flags of the re-
public and Of the Allies marched
through the Avenido Mayo until they
reached the Plaza Mayo where they
were halted by the police.
Along the avenida and in the plaza
the crowds kept up continuous shout
of ".Passaportes! Passaportes!
They meant that the government
should dismiss the German Minister
by handing him his passports.
In the center of the plaza several
distinguished speakers addressed the
crowds, among them being Senior Pa
lacios. a leading socialist and formerly
a. Deputy; DR.. Barraetovena and Ri
cardo Rojas.
The people were assured that a
break with Germany was almost at
hand. the demand by the government
upon Germany for an explanation Of
the sinking of the Protegido being a
step to that end.
The German Legation and Consul
late were we'll guarded, but it is be-
lieved there would be violence against
German interests if the people had
not been reasurred by the government

Honesty Is Observed

If there is any place where it would
be supposed the chances for cheating
had been reduced to a minimum it is
the restaurant where you drop a nick
ell in the slot and buy your dinner in
the same way that you get stick Of

these places customers can get more
than they are entitled to under GER

MEXICAN Paper
AGAIN. DEGREES
ARMS EMBARGO

Mexico City, April 23-The Excel
sior, one of the leading Mexican pa
pers, discussing editorially reports
from the United States that America
is suspicious Of Mexico's attitude in
the present internationa, crisis, as
serts that Mexican neutrality will be
maintained. 1t adds:
There is not much on which these
suspicious are based which has aot
been fostered by the American press
and government. One reason for this
without going further, is the embar-
go on arms against Mexico, main
tanned in spite Of the reception of our
AMBASSADOR. The American govern
ment offers all nations a chance to
buy the arms which it makes in vast
quantities, except two, Germany and
Mexico. It is easy to understand the
attitude now against Germany, but
what about Mexico?
What can we say to this and how
interpret it? When the president
elect, because of the great interest
in the subject referred to it in his
speech to congress the American press
clamored that the speech contained
only painful words. Why not, if the
Mexican people have only painful
feelings over the relations between
the two countries? Shall we answer
the attack mentioned only with words
sweet as fruit in season? The ex-
PLANTATION of our states Of mind should
be sought by the United States in its
conduct toward us. We do not equiv
ocate and the United States should

that they were excluding from the ma

Demand for TypeVriters.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, July 31. -Afterwar orders for typewriters are already being booked in Austria in large numbers, says the Berlin Iokal Anzeiger, which adds that the Austrian depot on an American com- pany is making special offers of ma- chimes for postwar delivery on an initial deposit of $50.
 The Germany typewriter makers are unable to supply machines under six. months owing to scarcity of la bor and lack of raw materials. Never theless they are overwhelmed with orders, one firm having many as ten thousand on its books. An una- voidable result of this state of af- fairs is a reckless and not always over-honest traffic in second hand ma chimes, at prices far exceeding those for new ones.

London, Sept. "A Reuter- dis

London, Sept "A Reuter- dis patch from Amsterdam says:
 According to reliable information, President Wilson's reply to Pope Benedict's peace proposal has made a profound impression in political circles in Germany.
 Matthias Erzberger, member of the Clerical Center of the Reichstag, who believes he is backed by ma jority of the Reichstag members, is expected at the next sitting of the Main Committee of that body to de- mand legislation for the immediate introduction of a government respon- sible to the Reichstag, and the aban- donment by the government of its plea of inability to act regarding AL sace-Lorraine, to the extent of pro- posing that the decision regarding these territories shall be left to their inhabitants. It is expected also that he will advocate general disarmament after the war.
 Tt is considered possible that the Reichstag will be dissolved soon after 1t reassembles and that general cleo tions will be ordered. e.
 "Of noteworthy interest is the statement of Dr. Eduard David, so- cialsit leader of the Reichstag, in yes- terday's Vorwarts, the German so- cialist organ. Dr. David maintains that the Reichstag has constitutional means of enforcing its will, as no government can continue to rule against its veto. He says that new elections, in which the soldiers at the front would participate, would clear 1v show how the ship of state must be steered. He confidently expects a crushing defeat of the Pan-Germans and annexationists."

Amsterdam, Sept. 4.-(British Ad- nliralty, per Wireless Press)-Accord- ing to the most reliable authority, the next session of the German Reich stag will be devoted exclusively to the quest.o1, of peace.
 The majority has decided to chal- lenge the statement of the govern ment regarding it's minimum peace program and it is said the govern ment will yield with view to peace negotiations before Christmas.
 The German government, according to this authority favors, the plenipo- tentiaries meeting at The Hague, Berne, or Copenhagen, but prefer ably The Hague.
