Eat q meeting In Washington i'm.
mediately after the declaration of war
with Germany. the heads of the rail-
roads agreed unanimously to subordin-
ate every other interest to helping
win the war. They have kept this
pledge regardless of Individual inter-
ests.
Our government was not asked for
and has not given to the railroads any
guarantee of net earnings. Instead OF
sulking and srumbling In consequence,
they redoubled their efforts to dis.
charge the enormous responsibilities
forced upon them by war conditions.

French armies in France. Algeria,

woman's part in the war which any
army chief of feminist entertained
back-in 1914. There We're Just 80 per-
manent French women nurses before
the war. Such tremendous growth
as this illustrates apparently the part
in the war which Frances womanhood
is bearing.
MEDALS FOR WOMEN.
In recognition of the devotion Of
these women France has just. created a
series of medals in gold, silver and
bronze which win indicate service
from one to three years. Scores of
nurses and hospital workers have re-
ceived the highest military decorations
which France has to bestow. Their

TO TROUBLE.
Luxburg Incident May Be
Closed With Expression
of Regret by the German
Government.
Public Sentiment Favors
Break in Relation, but Ar
gentine Government Will
Probably Accept Explana-
ton of the Affair.
By CHARLES P. STEWART.

BY CHARLES P. STEWART.
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent,
Buenos Aires, Sept. 1s.-Argentine
expects Germany TO forward a formal
explanation of the Luxburg incident.
Until such a disavowal is received
through the ordinary channels of
diplomatic intercourse, the German
ministerial post here will be considered
vacant.
Officials In thus indicating Argen-
tines viewpoint today, intimated that
such formal apology from Germany
Knight satisfactorily close the Incl
dent.
FORMAL BREAK URGED.
Not all of the public today is &C
cepting such q view, however. Num-
erous meetings are being held urging
that Argentine formally break rela-
lions with Germany. The strongest
pressure is being brought to bear on
President Irigoyen to this end. The
anti German element is caustically
commenting on the fact that Germany
is seeking to clear up the bald phrases
of Luxburg's communications by the
explanation of an undersecretary ex-
pressing regret and "Germanys alb.
solute disapproval," of the ministers
phrases.
Count Luxburg remained closely in
his place Of refuge in the Austrian le-
cation today. The Argentine govern
ment, Ii was understood was endeav-
oring to arrange for his departure or
q Spanish steamer---either the Leon
XIII, leaving Sept. 2s, or the Reina Vic
toria, departing Oct. 2. The Spanish
minister was believed to have taken
up the matter Of safe conduct with the
allies,
