BUENOS AIRES, March 1.-Obvi-
ously officially inspired articles In tho
newspapers to-day indicate that Ar
gentina is on tho eve of radical
change in front as regards the world
war. These articles. however. do not
make clear whether n rupture with
Germany is to DO brought about or
whether ArGentina's efforts will be
confined principally to the purchase
and shipping of supplies TO the allies.
The general belief is that any change
on the part of Argentina will DO an
economic and not political one. The
newspapers argue that Argentina can
not aid the allies with men, but that
she can DO so with supplies. The
government now is treating with
American and British diplomats for a
treaty covering meat shipments. SINH

local administrators indicated that the
observance was far more general than

only in rare cases were exceptions
granted. The police and a largely aug

kept sharp lookout for possible

The New York stock exchange. which
kept open week ago, although with
out heat, was closed today. as was the
consolidated stock exchange and many
of the great banking institutions in the

The return of colder1 weather has
caused the administration to again
warn the public that the coal shortage
is still acute. While the situation Is
improving so far as the railroads are
concerned there has been a din,unition
OF the supply actually received and
delivered to the city. One encouraging
feature, however, is that conditions in
the harbor are better, much of the Ice
