GERMAN ANSWER
 TO ARGENTINA
 IS UNfAvORAbLE
Berlin Foreign Office Does Not Close Door to Ami
 cable Settlement.

Zurich, Aug. 23.-Gerrhany has re- piled to the Argentine note, which de- manded compensation for the tor pedoed Argentine ship Toro and a pledge from Germany that she would abstain from torpedoing Argentine vessels in future.
 It is officially announced from Berlin that Germany has not con ceded the demands, but the possi- bility of an amicable settlement is not excluded.
 The Argentine government on Au- gust 5, being dissatisfied with the progress of negotiations which were being conducted with the German minister at Buenos Aires growing out of the sinking of the Argentine steamer Toro, sent a categorical note to Berlin, requesting clear and fi- nal reply to the Argentine demands within a reasonable time.
 It has been the general belief in Argentina, according to dispatches from Buenos Aires, that diplomatic relations with Germany would be broken if the response o: the Der lin foreign office was negative one.

 Against Germany.

Washington, Aug. 23.-In the first speech on the general subject of the war and prospects of peace delivered in the senate since the publication of Pope Benedict's peace proposal, Senator Owen of Oklahoma declared today that the fact that the pope, with the approval of Austria and ap- parently with the approval of Ger many, proposed simultaneous and reciprocal diminution of armament seemed to promise that the Teutonic autocracy was coming to it's senses.
 "We will help them bring about a condition of sanity" added the sen ator, ''by multiplying our war efforts and by co-ordinating every nation in the world in this struggle against the world domination of the Teutonic powers"

PROVOST MARSHAL SAYS
 MORE ABOUT EXEMPTIONS

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-1n a mes sage to General England, General Crowder says that Except for the pc cessity of seeing to the retention of administrative or mechanical spe- cialists, it is not thought that the present draft will so materially af- feet the gross labor supply of any In dustry, considered nationally. as to warrant any general adjustment of labor supply in favor oS some indus tries and at the expense of others. For this reason no general industrial Exemptions are announced at this time, and local industrial problems are left to the discretion of the local boards.
 It is announced that "No person can be exempted on the ground that he is in the military service of the United States if he has not enlisted. been appointed or engaged in suca service prior to the date on which he was called by the local board.
 There is no reason, however, who drafted man cannot be commis- stoned as an officer in the military service of the United States or en- gagged as an army field clerk"

 Bitter Argument.
TO RESUME FIGHT
 ON ANOTHER BILL
Two More Substitutes by Wisconsin Senator and One by Senator lIOl-
 lis. to Increase Income Tax
 Revenue, Ire Sill Pending.

Washington, Aug. 23.--After an charges that those desiring to make war unpopular and emparass the ad ministration were behind the move ment to greatly increase tax rates in the war tax bill, the senate late to- day rejected, 9S to 21, Senator La Follette's amendment to raise $65S,- 1S4,0O0 from individual incomes, in stead of $490, 165, ,000, as proposed in the bill.
 The fight to increase income tax rates will be resumed tomorrow, with partisan lines lost. Senator L.aFol lette has pending two more substi tutes for the income tax schedules, proposing to levy about $600,000,000 and $o05, 1000 000 respectively, and Senator Hollis late today introduced another substitute, proposing to raise about $550, 0,000,000.
 The vote on the first LaFollette Substitute, which proposed new in come surtaxes ranging from 1 per cent on incomes between $5,0OO and $7,500, to 50 per cent on those over $1,O00,000, followed:
 For the substitute - Democrats, Gore, Hardwick, Husting, Kirby, Me Kellar, Owen, Reed, Campbell, and 16.

Total against substitute, 5S
 Replying to the charge that by in creasing the burden imposed on mod crate incomes would mako the war unpopular, Senator LaFollette said, 35O,OO0 out of 105,000,O00 persons would be affected and he asked 'whether his substitute or the commit tees bill with it's consumption taxes and the other levies was more likely to spread dissatisfaction. The sub .stitute proposal, Senator LaFollette said, in closing, would yield $65S,7S4,- ASA. Ofthis more than 70 per cent would come from incomes over ESQ., 0OO

President Welcomes Japs.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Viscount Ishii, special ambassador, and head of Japan's mission to the United States, presented his credentials to President Wilson late today and With them an autographed letter from his emperor, congratulating the president and the people of the United States upon their decision to enter the war against Germany.
 The ambassador told the president it was source of pride to every Jap anese that the United States is fight ing with Japan for safe and endur- ing peace, based on respect for the smallest and weakest of states, on contempt for the arrogance of ma terialistic force, on reverence for the pledged WOrd'.
 Tonight the viscount and members of the mission were the guests of the president at state dinner in the white house, closing a day of formal calls of courtesy, preceding the i'm portant conferences at which the business of the mission will be dis 'cussed.

ENGLAND APPOINTED
 BRIGADIER GENERAL

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-Notice was received today of the nomination by the president and confirmation by the senate of General Lloyd England as brigadier general.
 This follows the tender by the gov ernor of similar commission July 30, as the governor felt it only his just due for the efficient and untlr, ing service rendered by General Eng land in connection with the organIz- atioh and equipping of the three reg iments of the Arkansas National guard. '* \ "a
 General EnglandI at first declined, owing to the pressure of business af- fairs, and the feeling that he could render greater service as adjutant general but the governor did not re. linquish the hope of inducing him to accept. Governor Brough at once took up the matter with high military authorities with the result noted, and is much gratified by the appointment
