VON LUXBURG FLEES
FROM ARGENTINA

lIStti uiIOEu IIIII
BUENOS AIRES, March 12.-It
Is reported here today that Count
Won LuXburg, the former German
minister has fled Argentine terri
tory escaping to Chile.
Count Won Luxburg's escape was
suspected when reports came from
Puente del Inca, in the Andes, that
the former minister the former
German naval attach and large
group of other Germans passed there
last night on the international train
1or Chile.
Inquiry of the police here showed
that Count Won Luxburg had been
missing for several days from the
house in the suburbs of Lomas de
Seamora, where he was supposed to
have been under strict surveillance.
he count was permitted to live
there because the German hospital
authorities had informed the govern
ment that his mental condition re-
qulred quiet surroundings.
Is Sly Individual.
The former minister is believed to
have decided to escape when he saw
the government was renewing its ef-
forts to get him out of the country.
These efforts were initiated two
weeks ago and had resulted in the
granting OF safe conduct for him
TO sail on Swedish vessel about to
leave port
Count Won Luxburg's escape on
the eve Of his forced departure
strengthens the long standing belief
here that he was making every ef-
fort to remain in South America
to direct the activities oi German
agents who have been fomenting
labor troubles and harrassing allied
shipping,
Count Won LuXburg was handed
his passports by the Argentine gov
eminent last September after the
disclosure OF his Objectionable activ-
ltleS III connection with the sub
marine warfare as it affected Ar
gentine shipping-notably his mes
sage suggesting that Argentine
steamers might be Sunk without
trace In October he was placed
in German detention camp on the
island OF Martin Garcia. but later
was taken to the German hospital
at Buenos Aires where he was un-
der treatments because Of his al
eyed unbalanced mental condition.
Didn't Want to Go.
According to the accounts from
Argentina, there has never been ap-
parent a strong desire on the part
oi the count 10 leave South Amer
lea, and he has been openly ac-
cused in the Argentine capital of
trying to avoid returning 20 Berlin
by causing his condition TO be rep
resented as more serious than it
actually was.

HARD SHEDDING
FOR LABOR SHARK

Labor agents in future, unless duly
accredited by the United States gov
eminent, will have hard bumps in this
vicinity if an ordinance which is now
pending before the city commissioners
passes in it's present form. The license
is made $4,000. In case of desiring to
work less than a year in the city,
fractional license may be issued for
not less than six months, which will
be the payment of 81, 900. There is
every reason to believe that the ordi-
nance will be passed in it's present
form.
There have been a number of cases
where labor in large numbers of able
bodied men have been taken from
Pensacola. The license now, 1t is said.
is $50, with no fractional license issued.
This, however, is only the city's share,
as state and county licenses are re-
quired for operation by agents in this
vicinity. This is an evil and it was
so classed by Mr.. Metcalf. representing
the u. s. Employment Service here
last week, and he dwelt at length upon
the low license fee required of such
agents here. It is mainly upon the
representations made by this late lee
turer that the ordinance now finds it's
way to the commissioners.

Pensacola, Florida, requesting infor-
nation as to whether General Order
No. 81 of the War Department author
izing leaves of absence for soldiers to
engage in farm work applies to en-
listed men OF the navy.
The act of congress, which is the au-
thority for the issuance of General
Order No. 81 by the War Department,
authorizes the Secretary of War to
grant furloughs to enlisted men of the
army of the United States to engage
in civil occupations and pursuits. and
it does not include enlisted men of the
naval service. The bureau has, how
ever, made provision for granting
leaves of absence to the enlisted per-
sonnet of the naval service for the
purpose Of engaging in farm work
and has authorized the commanders at
the different naval districts to take
action on all official requests for such
leave.
All applications must be made by the
men themselves. and should be ac-
companied by evidence showing that
the present work force engaged on the
farm in question is below the normal
number; that his services are neces-
sary and that help cannot be other
wise obtained The granting of leaves
of absence will be restricted to men
in recruit training, and those who de-
sire this leave to work on their own
or on farms operated by members Of
their families.
Very respectfully,
THOS. J. Semi,
Captain, u. S. N,
Acting Chief of Bureau.

SUGAR PROSPECTS
IN GERMANY BAD

AMSTERDAM, June 17.-Sugar pros
poets in Germany look discouraging
says the German Economic Core
spondenz. The production for the
coming season is estimated at 1,150 900
tons compared with 100000 tons In
peace time, and the estimate is based
on the weather continuing favorable
The labor problem is very acute as no
more farm hands are coming from Po-
land to work in the sugar beet fields
ut is impossible to see" says the
Correspondent, "how even the bedrock
minimum needs of the civilian popula-
ton can be satisfied, in view of the
military demands and the necessary
exports to neutrals. a very much re-
duced distribution on the sugar cards
is absolutely certain in the coming fall
unless a miracle happens and the Tx
raine can send supplies. The latter
country is an uncertain factor"
