Irigoyan to Call
S. A. Conference
President of Argentine Wonld Have
Southern Continent Act in Concert
in War.


BUENOS AIRES, Oct. Argentina
today faces a long delay before Presi-
dent Irigoyan takes any decisive ac-
ton upon the congressional resolu-
ton for a break with Germany.
In addressing a deputation that had
presented him with a petition demand
ing an immediate rupture with Ger
many President Irigoyan said he pro-
posed calling a conference of the
South American nations to act in con-
cert.
The presidents policy as revealed
! for the first time, is this:
IF Argentina enters the war she
should not do so on account OF the
Luxburg incident alone, but on the
grounds of humanity and justice. Also
Argentina should not play any sub
sidiary role, but should put every
ounce of her man power and resources
into the prosecution of the most Wig
orous military campaign possible"
CHICAGO, Oct. Twenty countri-
es of South America will be in the
war on the side of the allies within
a year, according to John Barrett, di-
rector of the Pan-American Union,
who is in Chicago today.
Brazil, Bolivia, Panama, Uruguay,
Cuba and Costa Rico have essentially
broken off diplomatic relations with
Germany" Barrett said, land Guate-
mala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti and
the Dominican republic have practic-
ally the same attitude. Argentina,
now on the verge of severing relations
will carry with her Chilli, Peru and
Paraguay.
"Of the remaining five countries,
Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador, Saliva
dor and Mexico all lean strongly to-
ward the United States and the allies"

of importance The heat during the
past week has prevented much activ-
ity-
However. a raid by the combined
French and Albanian contingents, the
latter belonging to the forces of Essad
Pasha, carried out in the Skumbia
valley, should be mentioned.
THE mobilization of the national
guard in their camps is proceeding and
the reorganization of the divisions is
taking place. This reorganization is
necessitated by the conditions of the
ments and working machinery and
other units not typical heretofore.
Some misunderstanding of the reor-
ganization has arisen; but its pur-
pose and military necessity are being
explained and the division command
ers are doing their utmost to preserve
the local associations and historic
memories of these state forces
THE Assembling of the national
army in the environments has gone on
with smOothness and success. Equip
ment difficulties are not serious and
are being rapidly overcome. The most
obvious shortage is in rifles; but an
adequate supply for all purposes will
soon be at hand and no delay in train
ing results from the shortage. All OF
the oversee forces are adequately sup
piled"
LONDON, Oct. After a lull of
nearly seven months on the Mesopo-
tamian front the British are again up
on the offensive against the Turks
The fighting reported in today's dis
patches from that zone was regarded
by military experts as the beginning
of the British autumn and winter cam
paign.
Already the British have advanced
more than sixty miles in a northwes-
terly direction from Bagdad, the Turks
falling back and surrendering in great
numbers.
One whole Turkish army, together
with its commander in chief, Ahmed
Bey, were caught by the brilliant man
euvers of General Maud, the British
commander in chief and compelled to
surrender.
The German air raid made over Lon
don last night-the fifth within a week
was marked by thrilling battles
high in the clouds between British
and German aviators.
1t was unofficially reported early
today that at least one and perhaps
three of the German machines had
been shot down.
The eleven persons killed in the
raid on Saturday night brought the
total of fatalities from German air
raids over British soil up to S45. Not

WASHINGTON, Oct. with a de-
cision on the constitutionality of the
selective draft law one of the tasks
before it, the United States supreme
court, which has been in recess since
June, formally reconvened today. No
business was transacted, as the court,
following immemOrial custom, ad-
journed at once to enable Chief JUS
tice White and his associates to pay
their annual formal call upon the

Attorney General Gregory has let
it be known that he would move the

nationality of the draft law, and it is
believed the court will set them for q
very early hearing.

WASHINGTON, Oct Complete
and official confirmation that the new
British advance in the Ypres salient
now threatens definitely the German
communications upon the Belgian
coast came from Secretary of War
Baker today.
In line with his plan of issuing a
weekly official review of the general
situation the secretary today made
public his general analysis of the en-
tire situation as affecting the various
movements. 1t emphasizes the fact
that the initiative seems to have pass
ed entirely from the Austro-German
forces to the entente on all fronts. The
outstanding feature of the recent en-
gagements. the secretary asserts, is
the wastage of the man power of the
enemy"
The secretary also states that the
national armies and national guard
movements in this country are pro-
ceeding as planned. The text of his
statement was as follows:
1.-The secretary of war authorized
the following statement, dealing with
military activities in Europe for the
week ending September %:
1.-THE Ypres salient continues the
center of military interest along the
western front.
1.-The battle of Menin road. which
promised to be one of the great bat
ties of the war, is following its nor
NAL course. Last week we recorded
the gains of the British in this sector.
In this week we must note the desper-
ate attempts made by Germans to re-
take the lost positions.
1.-The Ostend-Lille railway which in
a large measure feeds the German nav
al bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge, the
latter the home port of the German
high seas submarine flotillas, now
comes within the range of the Brit
ish guns.
1.-THE superiority of the British over
their enemies was conclusively proved
during the engagements of the past
week.
THE battle of Menin road, further
more, shows that the fighting stamina
OF the Germans is deteriOrating, not
that the enemy did not display greater
skill and logged determination in its
repeated counter attacks.
During the recent operations in
this sector, the British captured A.
S4S prisoners, including 12S officers
Along the French front, particular
ly in the Aisne sector of Braye-Cerny-
Hurtebise, artillery duels of intense
violence are reported.

increasing violence of the attacks

WILLIAM J. BRYAN FOR
CLOTURE IN THE SENATE
Also Believes There Should Be Ex-
ira Session and Amendment of
Neutrality Bill.

William Jennings Bryan favors the
cloture rule, believes an extra session
of Congress is imperative and is firmly
convinced that the armed neutrality
bill should be amended. This is the
summary of the views he carried away
from Washington after Il hurried trip
here. In dictated interview. he said:
The failure of Congress to act on
the bill empowering the President to
arm American ships proves the need
of cloture in the Senate. The present
rules are an absurdity.
The bill proposed by the President
aroused deep feeling on both sides and
those opposed TO it felt justified in
employing every means at their COM
mand to defeat the measure,
The most important effect of the
filibuster will be to compel an extra
session of Congress and that can hardly
be regarded as a great evil. The sit
uation is critical: and the President
at such a time as this, can not well
object.
"As for the bill itself. the objection
was not SO much to the comforting of
power as to the language to be en-
ployed / think the House resolution
was preferable to the Senate resolution.
If the question was submitted to the
American people, an overwhelming
majority would, in my judgment, favor
keeping Americans off of belligerent
ships and would also exclude arms and
ammunition from all American and
neutral ships carrying passengers from
the United States to Europe.

SUBSTITUTES
FOR wheat BREAD

Corn bread of course we all
know about. And of course we
remember that good old "mush
and milk" we had when wa were
boys an6 girls toget her.
But did you know about oat-
meal bread? We gave the re-
ceipt two weeks ago. We have
tried it and call it good.
And maize bread-did you
know about that? We have eat
en- that, too, and can pronounce
it a good change.
Take your maize to Mr.. Mill
er and have it ground iato flour.
Make the bread same as corn
bread.
We have been told that katir
com makes good pancakes, but
haven't tried it. Of course il
it makes good pancakes, it would
make good bread also.
Then do you know that oat'
meal breakfast foods can be
made to save a whole lot of
wheat? And rice food?-why,
when we were little folks when
we could get rice we had some-
thing pretty good.
If you haven't tried it, when
you boil beef again, boil rice
with it. and you'll have a dish
that can't be beat.
All these little devices will
save flour for our boys across the
seas, and will help to win the
