At the close of 1915 the German
admiralty prepared a memorandum,

out the effects which even the re-

BULLETIN.
Associated Press Service:

Associated Press Service:
BUENOS AIRES. Feb. 1.-The
minister of war has recalled Argen-
tina's military attaches from Berlin
and Vienna. In political circles this
4ction is regarded as significant and
connected with the sinking of the
Argentine steamship Ministro Ir-
riendo Jan. 20.
The Argentine minister 20 France
has confirmed the fact that the
steamship was flying the Argentine
flag when sunk. The government
has not announced by what author
ity change OF flags was made after
leaving this country. the vessel hav-
ing sailed under the French flag
but accepts the sinking as an un-
friendly act even though the use OF
the home flag was unauthorized. The
assumption in political circles here
is that Germany does not intend TO
keep her promises in regard to Ar
gentina's shipping.
Situation Tense.
The situation here is tense ana
the authorities are maintaining more
than their usual silence on the sub
ject but several events at the gov
ernment house today lead to the be-
lief that the government at last is
preparing to take an important step.
After an unusually long lapse Of
time. the foreign office today replied
20 the notes of Peru and Uruguay
which notified Argentina Of their
rupture Of relations with Germany,
and that of Brazil. informing Argen-
tina of her sister cOuntrys state Of
war with the central powers.
Replies TO Brazil.
Argentina, in the three notes sent
in -eply, expresses her appreciation
and warmest sympathy with the
three other South American coun-
tries. The note TO Brazil was the
most significant says that the Ar
gentine government has followed all
the causes which led 10 this just
resolution and closes with an eX-
preston Of homage TO the Brazilian
nation.
These notes and the simultaneous
recall of the military attaches from
Berlin and Vienna are regarded as
indicating that the country is verg-
ing on a crisis in its international re-
lations. II also was announced to-
day that an army officer who has
been acting as correspondent in Ber-
lin for La Nacion also has been re-
called by the minister of war.
