 NEAR BUENOS AIRES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BUENOS AIRES, Sept 24.-Mobili- zation of the Argentine navy has been ordered at a rendezvous 37 kilometers from Buenos Aires. There is also un- usual military activity in the republic Although this is ostensibly due to the general strike, a high official said to- day that the general staff has it's eyes open to other necessities
 The question of a rupture with Ger many is still being widely discussed by members of the Argentine congress and the public in general, notwith- standing Germany's recent notes Many of the deputies say they no longer have confidence in Berlin be- cause if the government disapproved of won Luxburgs dispatches it should have taken action against the minister and not waited until after Secretary Lansjng'S revelations to express it's disapproval.
 The cabinet and deputies do not consider the question closed and there is widespread disapproval by the news papers and deputies of the personal guarantee sent by Dr Luis G. Molino, the Argentine minister at Berlin. that Germany would keep her promise.
 It is learned that the general staff, since the beginning of the Toro incl dent, has had the matter of mobiliza = ton under consideration and that war plans have been completed and cam paign commanders appointed If there is a declaration of war it is declared Argentina will send two divisions to 1 Europe and will not be content with a passive attitude. The men and equip ment are ready for almost immedia te emharkation if the necessity arrives The allies in that event would be asked to furnish artillery.

 For some reason the government had not given the report wide circula- tion, Senator Lewis continued, but in , the face of it now. "any senator who speaks here or elsewhere against any measure of this country lends himself to the enemy"
 Senator Lewis scored what he termed 'laggards in patriotism and those who argue against the war.
 The country guarantees free speech to every American" the senator said, but that man who uses free speech against America is not the American to whom free speech is guaranteed. There can never be liberty of speech to an American citizen to destroy the liberty of the American nation"

 VIOLENT ATTACKS AGAINST
 NEW POSITIONS OF FRENCH
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

Violent attacks by the Germans against the new French positions northeast of Verdun on Monday were checked with heavy losses.
 The assaults began with an attack on a front of about a mile and a quar- ter north of the Bois le Chaume. Cnly in the center of the assaulting line were the Germans able to reach the French positions, the artillery dispers- ing them elsewhere. The French fought valiantly and remained masters of the situation after inflicting heavy losses on the Germans.
 Later in the day the crown prince hurled two new attacks against the Bois le Chaume, only to meet further failure.
 On the Aisne front there has been only artillery activity expect for the repulse by the French of a German surprise attack north of Braye- en- La OnnoiS.
 In Flanders there has been no great infantry activity, although the oppos- ing artilleries still are busy. The Ger man fire is reported heavy on both banks of the Scarpe, east of Arras, around Lens and northeast of Ypres.
 On the Riga-Dvinsk sector of the eastern front, the Russians continue their efforts to drive the Germans back toward the Dvina in the region imme diately southeast of Riga. Petrograd reports the capture of German de- fensive position in Lne sector of Sil- zeme
 Northwest of Trent in the region of Marmolada, the Austro Hungarians have failed in an attempt to dislodge the Italians from their recently won gains
 Argentine is mobilizing her navy and | there is much military activity in the republic. Ostensibly this action is due to the general strike of Argentine railroad men but it is reported the general staff is preparing for other probable eventualities. The legislative bodies of Argentine do not consider the | question of diplomatic relations with 1 Germany as being closed but no action 1 has yet been taken.

Paper Napkin Is Passing.

The American paper napkin is rapid
ly passing out Of existence. The pa
per manufacturers have threatened to
stop making them altogether. During
the last year they have steadily in
creased the price, but the cheaper res
t~aurants have chung tenaciously to the
paper napkin idea and gone on de-
handing them. The laundering con-
nected with the cotton variety was con-
sidered too much Of a nuisance. Now,
however, n by one, each large paper
firm has quietly dropped its paper nap
kin trade. AS one firm declared last
week: "We have been making 1000
600 paper napkins a day, and even SO
cannot keep up with the demand. There
is more money in other lines of goods,
and we can no longer afford to spare
the material"
