Buenos Ayres to Avoid

take the responsibility of obtaining
from the American and British govern
ments safe conduct for Count Won
Luxburg, the German Minister here,
who recentN received his passports.

Accordingly, II was said, the Spanish
Ambassador has asked the Madrid gov
eminent to start negotiations to this
end.
The course taken by the Argentine
Foreign Office Is not in accordance with

Peace Propaganda
Stimulates Allies
In Their War Work

LONDON, Sept. 1S-What effect do the
German peace manpuvres, combined
with their military inactivity, hsvcu upon
the minds Of the Allied peoples upon
Britons, Frenchmen, Italians, Belgians,
not TO mention the Russians and Ru-
manians? General SHUTS, a member
of the War Cabinet, granted an inter
view TO the London correspondent Of the
Paris Journal" and in discussing why
the progress had been so slow &c
clared:
To-day We have the war won, and
the Germans know it. Yesterday their
directing classes understood it. To-
morrow there will not be single man
in the German Empire who will not un-
derstand it. The final result Of the
persistent pressure of our armies has
been well anticipated over there, in
spite of their reaSsuring communicates.
Can any one doubt the feeling Of in
creased terror of the enemy as they
see the smallest nations side by side
with the largest and most free, against
her; as they see the financial market
shut 20 her, the economic future des-
perately compromised and the name of
Germany becoming more odious every
day? Military victories for Germany
in the East cannot make up for her de-
feat in a world sense. Peace may be
near or it may be far off. but the issues
are no longer in doubt"
Painleve's Attitude
While the British public are reading
General Smuts's confident forecast
Panleve, making his first speech as
French Premier, is telling the people
I the time has come when the moral re.
sistance of the nation is the chief es.
sential for victory.
II will be noted that both General
SHUTS and Premier Painleve followed
the tack taken by President Wilson ir
differentiation between the German
people and the German rulers, giving
. the former the benefit of the doubt anC
emphasizing the fact that they are not
| fighting for conquest or for revenge.
For the first time in a great many
months the Berlin communicate omits
/ mention to-day Of any activities on the
| British front, while General Haie
covers the developments in one sen
tence. The first page Of "The Evening
| Standard" tonight furnishes a strik.
! ing illustration OF the effect of the
military lull. Every news item is about
peace. with the single exception of the
one that refers to the strike of the
| ironworkers in the Pacific shipyards.
German Writers Clever
! The German military writers arc
able and clever interpreters Of mill
/ tary events as the rulers want the pco.
/ pie to see them. They are Boosting
Of their success in the east, but
| through their articles run unmistaka-
| Bile evidences of the spirit Of relief
tinged with fear. Between the lines
run thankfulness for past fortunes
and a prayer for further blessings
/ from the god of war. There is con
slant repetition of the fact that the
/ Central Powers numerically are great,
| " inferior to the Allies, but that If
only the various factions hold TO-
gether they cannot be beaten.
