ARGENTINE HOUSE
 VOTE FAY9RS WaR
RUPTURE WITH GERMANY NOW SEEMS A CERTAINrY-AL-
 READY PASSED HOUSE.

Buenos Aires.-The Chamber of Deputies voted in favor of a rupture with Germany The vote was 52 to IS.
 The resolution declaring for the breaking off of relations with Ger many, adopted by the Chamber of Deputies, was passed last week by the Argentine Senate by vote of 23 to 1.
 The government desires to. postpone formulation of it's policy until it re- ceives from Ambassador Moan at Washintgon translations of the 415 Itelegrams received or sent by the Swedish legation here. These mes sages were telegraphed to Dr. Naon with instructions to send translations.
 The government is considering i'm position of rigid censorship of all messages in the republic to prevent misuse of the cables such as that practiced by Count yon Luxburg, the dismissed German minister.
 Strikers have cut the telegraph line to Valparaiso, Chile, paralyzing direct cable service to the United States.
 The authorities have been advised officially that strike agitators in the city of Santa Fe have been conferring with the German consul there and that the serious strike among all classes of workmen during the last month in that city was fomented and cuOnnpted b1- Germans
 The situation brought about by the strike is becoming more serious and it is feared the conflict will assume 9 revolutionary character if an imme- diate settlement is not reached. The city's food supplies have almost been cut off by the strike. No more milk is to be had. The cutting of telegraph wires has isolated the capital, except from nearby southern points. The on ly cable communication which re mains open is by way of London.

S8,OOO, BILL
 PASSED BY SENATE
WAR DEFICIENCY APPROPRiA- TON MEASURE GOES TO
 CONFERENCE.

hington.-Without a roll call, and after brief debate, the Senate passed the $8,000,000,000 war defcien- cy appropriation bill. Nearly $8U0,- 900, ,060 was added to the measure as it came from the House, and it now goes to conference.
 items for many millions of dollats were approved with only a handful of senators present and without discus sion as they were when the bill pass GU the House unanimously. Minor provisions only evoked debate.
 Senator Martin, chairman of the ap- propriauons committee and Democrat ic floor leader, urged sharp scrutiny of what he termed extrayagant and almost reckless departmental esti- mates. He said appropriations dur ing five months of war would reach about S2O,00O,O0 O00, and expressed concern lest next years total might be S50,0O0, 100000.
 we are compelled to shut our eyes and a0propriate a great deal rather than hamper our men on the battle field" said the senator. We must give every dollar necessary to prose- cute the war, but our duty IS to trim down extravagant and useless appro- priatiens. The governments finances are ill a perilous situation.
 "AIa we going to impoyerish the country? Yes, if necessary to win this var, but in Gods name don't let's spend money unless absolutely neces- sary.
 Ove- the Democratic leaders oppo- sition the Senate adopted, 2S to 26, an amend ment by Senator Robinson, ap- propri5.ting s500.0O0 for the employ ment bureau of the Department of La bor.
 At it goes to conference the bill to- tals S7,991, 100000, including $2,3S5,- GOO GOO of contract authorizations and Senate committee amendments total ing $779,O00,000.

L0BiS SAWYER TO ADVISE ARK RNSANS IN PURCHASING. OF
 LIVE STOCK.
STATE UNIVERSITY ASSISTS
Me. Lasseter Said He Considered Sending Mr. Sawyer To Fort Worth As Valuable a Service as Could
 8e Rendered At This Time.
FaveffeYfne.-

T
 Because of the great number Of Ark ansas stock men who are going to Foz5 Worth, Texas. to buy cattle from the drouth-stricken districts of Texas. Lcass Sawyer. field man in beef cat. tie production of the University E. teasion Division. has been sent to Fort Worth to remain two or three weeks. His duties there will be 10 aQvise Arkansas farmers who have cosna to buy cattle.
 Ysls announcement was made by W. .. Lasseter, director of the Ex- tension Division. Mr. Sawyer already IS iB Fort Worth.
 50 many thousands of Texas cat. tie lave been brought to Arkansas within the last month and so many Arkansas st9ckmen have signifed the@ intentions of buying cattle there thaa 1lis move was decided upon, said Mr. Lasseter. Many of these stocalnen would like to have advice in blss7Es their cattle and am sure that they could consult no better man than Mir Sawyer. He will be very glad to see anyone who intends to buy cattle.
 we consider the sending of Mr. Sawyer to Fort Worth as valuable a service as we could render to tho sta@e st this time. The great number of kiws grade cattle that is being brozgiit to Arkansas from Texas mus be very gratifying te everyone who has inc agricultural interests Of the state st heart. DeDlorable as t is that the Texas steckmen are forced 70 hurry these lean cattle on the mar ket. yet their misfortune has enabled the i've stock industry in Arksasas to sszke progress that would have rs- qufred many years under ordinary conditions"

GOVERNMENTS SHIP BuILD.NG PROGRAMME Is A TONNAGE
 OF 6,o0o,0oo
A FLEET OF 1,6OO SHIPS
United States Is Now Leading World in Shipbuilding and Will Soon Reach England's Total-Con-
 tracts For Equipment.

Washington.-Th magnitude of the American governments shipbuildng programme was revealed for the Rxst time in a statement by the shipping board showing that nearly 1,200 mer- chant vessels Of about 6,000,000 ton mage will be completed within lit lie more than year.
 Completion of the ships comman- deered in ship yards and of vessels ac- tually about to be contracted for will give to the country a fleet of l. 500 ships, with total tonnage of more than 9,000000. In addition TO this the board will complete in 19a9 vessels already contracted for and un- der negotiation of about 100000 tons. A billion dollars has just been asked of Congress to complete the pro- gramme.
 The United States now is leading the world in shipbuilding and if the present rate of construction were kept up would become the leading shipping nation of the world in a few years. The British, whose present. ocean7go- ing tonnage is about 100000, are hampered in building by lack of men and materials In all other countries except Japan building virtually is at standstill.
 America now has total overseas tonnage of 2,400.000, to which has been added about 100000 tons of Ger man and Austrian shipping. Japan has 2,O00,000 tons; Italy, 1,950,000; France, 1,SS0,000; Norway, 1,650,000: Holland, 1,475,00o; Sweden, S6n.o0o; Denmark. 690.O00; Spain, 750,000; Russia, 550,O00; Portugal, 100000. and all of South America, S00,000.
 The shipping board is making eYeSy effort to obtain engines, boilers and other equipment for the vessels to be built and in most instances con tracts have been placed.
 An industrial service department has just been established by the fleet corporation which. with the Depart ment of Labor, will assist ship5nhd CTS in obtaining labor. It also will establish system of vocational schools to train workmen.

 Bale No. 15. s5nned by J. E. Wood at Eudora. for Jim Haley, was graded i IS geod middling. one-inch staple.
 Bale No 16, ginned by J. E. Wooo at Eudora for Tom Tinney, as tenant on the farm of pr. H. H. Parr, was graded as strict good middling, one and one-sixteenth in staple.
 Certificates were mailed to the growers on the same day the samples were received, enabling them to take advantage Of this service in the mar keting of their cotton.
 The grading of cotton is done by ex- perts under the direction of c. [. Atkinson of the United States Bureau of Markets. who has been assigned by the United States Department of Az riculture iE the administration os this feature of the warehouse and marketing law.
 Samples are taken by the ginners from all bales of cotton, sealed and delivered to the owner of the cotton, who can send the sealed samples to Commissioner Page and have them yrsdod 0r cIascifed So that tho tr1a value Of the staple may be known. Under this arrangement the grower, upon the receipt of his certificate from the government graders. may consult the market page of his da'E paper md ascertain exactly what his cotton is worth in Liverpool, New York, New Orleans or Little Rock.

SENATE ASKED ID
 EXPEL LA TOILETTE
FIVE PETITIONS ASKING EXPUL. SION OF WISCONSIN MAN
 PRESENTED.
LA TOILETTE IS SILENT
Senator Pomerene, Who Is Chairman of Committee On Privileges and Elections Said He Would Discuss
 Question With the Committee.

Washington.-There is little dispo- sition in the Senate to discuss the loyalty of its members. For that req son there is little likelihood that the charges of disIoyalty lodged against Senator LaFollette by the Minnesota Public Safet.y Commission and other individual citizens will be pressed This was strongly indicated following presentation of five petitions for ex- pulsion of LaFoIette on the ground that he has preached sed.tion.
 Senator Kellogg, Minnesota, intro duced the Minnesota Public Safety resolution, bearing the signature of the governor, attorney general and members of the commissiea, who de- clared that LaFollette's speech at St. Paul September 20 was "disloyal and seditious." It was such that Urea sonable sentiment in the State of Min nesota" has been created and ,ne sup port of the government has been weakened.
 The other four peuuons were pre- seuted by Vice President Marshall upon recommendation of local citi- zens representing the Washburn. Wise, Loyalty League, demanding i'm peachment of LaFollette flor his trea- sonable utJerances and disloyalty to our government" by W. A. Coombe, d Washington, D. C., attorney; c. W. Canton, New York City, who said "our sons giving up their lives for the cause of their country should not be compelled to listen to such traitors in our midst" and D. NJ. Jones, Wasting ton, D. c.
 All five petitions are in the hands of the committee on privileges and elections of which Senator Pomerene is chairman. Pomerene said he will talk with committee members.
 Until then I can't say what the committee will do," he said, "of the 15 members of the committee. nine are in Washington. Two of these strongly favor committee action. Neither. however, would permit the use of his name in connectic7 with his views" k
 Most members of the committee, though unwilling to discuss the proba- ble action, indicated they believe the petitions will be allowed 10 lie on the table. Meanwhile LaFollette, ap- parently undisturbed, went to ? acct ing of the finance committee. Pressed for a statement, he said, smilingly:
 I'm not making any statements whatsoever"
 It was in anticipation of speech by LaFollette answering his critics that leaders determined to put the lid on any discussion by calling an execu- tive session.
 eve can't prevent any senator from speaking" said a member of the rules committee, "but we can prevent him using the Congressional Record for dissemination of a speech indicating a serious lack of harmony in this body"
 If the committee should vote ir fa- vor of expel1ing L.aFollette, which no senator held likely, long and bitter fight doubtless would ensue. A two thirds vote is required to expel sen- ator. This could not be obtained, it is generally believed
