War on Germany

Buenos Aires, Sept. 23.--Just as
the Argentine chamber of deputies
carly this morning was preparing to
vote on the question of breaking
diplomatic relations with Germany,
an official communication was re-
ccived from the Berlin foreign office.
The note disapproved Of the ideas
expressed by Count Won Luxburg, the
German minister here, regarding Ger
niany's Cruiser warfare"
The word Cruiser" left some doubt
in the minds of governmentsofficials
as to whether Germany intended to
modify her submarine campaign. A
declaration of war on Germany was
postponed by the receipt Of the Ger.
man note.
London, Sept. ga dispatch from
Buenos Aires to Reuters, Limited,

note from Germany which has given
complete satisfaction to the Argentine

STUDY OF THE CRIME.
In offering its rebuttal testimony
Monday morning the prosecution will
bring in four, and possibly FIVE,
alienists to show that a paranoiac has
powers of memory peculiar to his
mental disease. g>
A conflict of opinion among the
doctors is imminent. On this phase
of the case one of the attorneys for
the prosecution said:
"We are going to bring in some OF
the best alienists we can find. We
propose to show to the jury that q
paranoiac has an uncanny power to
remember details of acts committed
during their fits of insanity, or brain
storms, as they are sometimes re-
fcrred to. We have been looking up
the history of noted cases OF para
r,oiacs and have one of record in
France where man killed thirteen
women. This man, who was para
.,noiac, when apprehended, remem-
bered and related in most minute
manner details of each OF his victims,
proving conclusively that he was the
murderer. We believe this Kelly case
will be entered in medical annals as
one Of the extraordinary cases.
~ Obsessed With Delusion.
DIR. David L. Rundalett of Sioux
Falls, one of the alienists for the de-
tense, testified that paranoiac may
have a fixed delusion, belief in his
mind of something which is not true.
He added that it is common with
paranoiacs to have periods OF appar-
ent normality. II think not, was the
doctors reply, when asked by Attor-
@i,ey Mitchell whether he believed that
paranoiac would remember acts OF
violence committed during hts OF IN

DOUBT GERMAN LOAN
Socialist in Reichstag Fears Lower
Rate of Interests.

Amsterdam, May 1s.-During bud
get debate in the reichstag on Wednes-
day, Deputy Vogthern. Socialist, at
able methods in propa eating the war
loan. He said that soldiers in the
field had been forced to subscribe and
that similar pressure had been exerted
on cooperative socialists.
Herr Vogthern added the security
of the investment and the rate of in
terest had been rendered doubtful by
an article in the Tage Zeitung which
said:
Assurance by the government can
only be given in the expectation of a
large war indemnity"
The deputy asked for an assurance
that the interest would not be reduced.
The finance minister protested against
Herr Vogthern's statements and as
sured him that subscribers would be
safeguarded. He expressed his con-
viction that the subscriptions of the
soldiers were voluntary.
Deputy Cohn. Socialist, said all mill
tary writer's had counted even before
the war, on a starvation campaign by
Great Britain and that it was therefore
| hypocritical to act as if Germany was
surprised by these tactics. The preSi-
| dent called Deputy Cohn to order but
the deputy continued:
Granted that England did proclaim
war of starvation, right must re-
main right Before the war 1 never
! imagined we should be driven to war
by Germany'S fault"

CAN'T QUIT army
Soldiers Who Want to Go to
Farm Must Have Excuse.
Rich Man Tries to Get His
GrandsOns Discharged.

Efforts of Kansans to secure dis
charge of young men from military
service for use on farms of the state
are to meet with careful investigation
by the wal department Hundreds Of
letters have been sent to Governor
Capper and to Charles 1. Martin, adj
Jutant general, in a effort to secure
discharges for young men in National
Guard service or subject to conscrip
ton A letter which came to a state
that the government is making a tforo
investigation of the merit of every
case 1t shows also the duplicity used
In many cases in an effort to block
military service.
One prominent and wealthy Kan
san wrote Governor Capper a letter
intended to produce tears and arouse
executive sympathy. An investigation
of the case by army officers shows
a clear attempt on the part of the
writer to substitute a weak, scrawny
youth for two husky young men who
would be of value in blowing corn.
Under false statement of facts the
national guard officers were asked to
take the understood youth and release
the two kuskies.
Letter Hid Facts.
The letter to the governor was APP
parently written in behalf of a poor
widow who needed her sons on the
farm. Investigation showed that the
poor widow was the daughter of one
of the richest men in a wealthy Kan
sas county and that the young man
offered for army service was offered
because he could not perform as much
farm work as the men in the ranks.
Yet the substitute soldier-who has
since. enlisted-was recommended as
a strong, hardy lad able to fill place
in any army unit. This is an extract
from a report on the case and shows
~ in two
to secure release of young men from
army service:
This man is the grandfather of
these boys. He is probably the wealth.
lest man in the town. worth around
$3.50. 1000. He owns many sections of
land-probably twenty. The half sec
ton of land upon which this woman
lives is either hers or the title vests
in her father. The letter misrepre-
sents a number of particulars. The
son that he suggests substituting is
too young and too light for our ser
vice. He did enlist in the engineer
corps. This younger brother is not
larger and stronger than the two old
er boys. but on the contrary is smaller
and not big enough for infantry
Writer'S Own Family.
He says Mrs. lives on a
leased farm. 1t is either hers or be-
longs to him. She has everything the
farm will raise, and it is a good farm,
too. gives the impression that
he is taking up the case and interest
ing himself in some poor widowed
mother, but he is in reality trying to
work up sympathy for his own daugh-
ter and looking after his own interests
and he is worth thousands of dollars
THE grandfather can well afford
to assist Mrs and there is no
cause whatever for these boys to be
discharged They are well to do
themselves. Each boy has money and
the mother owns fine big automobile
and has nice big home. 1 am sure
she can find some one to cultivate the
corn and we should keep these boys
to do their sworn duty as soldiers"
