ARGENTINE TENSION
STILL UNRELIEVED
Chilean Minister at Buenos Aires
Told to Keep Posted.

BUenos Aires, Feb. 2-The tense sit
uation caused by the sinking of the
steamship Ministro Iriondo while fiy-
ing the Argentine flag and the recall
Of the Argentine military attaches at
Berlin and Vienna was unabated to-
day.
The Chilean government has IN
structed its Minister here to keep post
ed on the international attitude Of the
Argentine government.
Up to late tonight there was no def
mite news in regard to the sinking and
the government was prevented from
formulating a definite policy. The
newspapers, however. contain bitter
criticism Of the consular and diplo-
matte corps at Madrid, Paris and
Rome. 1t is maintained they should
have the facts by now.
The Brazilian Minister here left for
home tonight following a banquet
which was attended by a number of
government officials and members of
the diplomatic corps.

BRITISH END
U. S. TOUR OF
WILSON CRITIC
Sir F. E. Smith, English At
torney General, Ordered
to Return at Once.

New York. Feb 2.-Sir Frederick
E. Smith. attorney general of Eng
land in the Lloyd George cabinet.
has hastily sailed for England in
response to summary orders that
he return to Great Britain at once.
His trip was not finished, but IT
was decided that he had remained
in America long enough.
Sir Frederick arrived IN New York
during the first week in January.
and his visit was sensational from
the beginning.
Attacks Wilson ADream.S
He spoke on January IL before
the New York State Bar Associa-
dress attacked Mr. Wilson's pro-
posal for a League of Nations, saw
ing that while he was not here TO
disparage noble ideals which, with
restraint, but penetrating rhetoric,
your President has distributed to
the encouragement of the allies"
he wished to inquire whether such
a thing is or is not in the range of
human endeavor."
Next he called IT a great and
Splendld dream.
He then declared that our examins
tion of it should be critical rather
than rhetorical" and went even far
ther In what was taken by many
auditors as a sneer at the President
by asserting that it was necessary
for lawyers to call attention Ito the
dangers OF trusting rhetoric alone"
Casement Tragedy Involved.
So great was the feeling stirred that
the attorney general was compelled
TO explain this speech as not mean
ing what It seemed to.
He next attracted attention by
giving an interview to the Boston
Post, of January II, in which he said
that after the trial of Sir Roger
Easement / threatened to resign from
the cabinet unless this traitor was
executed. I gave them the choice of
Easement or myself. Nothing ever
gave me greater delight than the
execution Of Easement"
Speaking of the Irish convention,
Sir Frederick said, Let them keep
on talking. In a few months,
whatever happens. it won't amount
to a damn'-which attracted at
tention abroad, because the cabinet
in which Sir Frederick sits has been
assuring England and Ireland that
the convention would solve the
Irish problem.
Assails the President.
Both OF these utterances gave great
offense to the Irish-Americans and
called forth denunciations Of Sir
Frederick in their local press. 1t is
understood that they were read with
great dissatisfaction at the British
Embassy in Washington.
None the less, Sir Frederick was
received by President Wilson, from
which interview Sir Frederick return

BRITISH PRESS
URGESCAREIN
LABOR DISPUTE
Government and Engineers
Deadlocked on Question
of Man Power.
Special Gable to The washington
Herald and New York Tribune.

Special Cable to The washington
Herald and New York Tribune.
+ London. Feb. 2-The Immediate
cause for worry in Britain is the i'm
passe between the government and
engineers over the question Of man
power.
Arthur Henderson's letter has
strengthened the position Of the
workmen and Geddes' defensive posi-
ton. With hardly an exception the
press urges the government to adopt
q oonciliatory attitude and not to balk
Aecause of a technicality.
The charge that worker are protest
ing against the man-power regulat-
ions and the young men earning high
wages are anxious to remain in pro-
tected Jobs Is bitterly resented in
labor circles, where it is declared that
the chief advocates of the policy Of
peace through negotiation are work
ers past the age limit.
Immediately upon his return from
Paris. Lloyd George is expected to
give his special attention to this prob
lem.
FESCuO" VI Som"Guts
In no period OF the war has there
been such broad freedom of press
comment as exists today. Some of
the sharpest and frankest comments
of the war are appearing at present
in the editorial columns OF the British
papers and everyone seems free and
anxious to express his views.
There il nothing more remarkable
than the reception given to Lord
Lansdowne's speech Thursday and
that accorded his earlier letter to
the Daily Telegraph.
Says the Manchester Guardian:
1T is to be hoped that a good
many people who read Lord Lans-
downe's speech yesterday will be a
little ashamed Of the absurd clamor
raised against his famous letter.
There is nothing of consequence in
his speech that was not In his let
ter, or in the letter that is not in
the speech. 1t may be said that
the tone is different but the real
difference is in the peoples mind.
Lord Lansdowne WIS the' first to in
sist that our war aims needed to
be REDEEMED. and Bonar Law said
it was a national calamity. Since
then President Wilson and Lloyd
George have REDEEMED them and
everybody recognizes that it has
done all the good in the world"
Quite Like His Letter.
Says the Westminster Gazette:
I'VE believe that, with very lit
tie editing, Lord Lansdowne's origi-
nal letter would have been received
as expressing the sober mind of
the country. and we have very lit
tie to say about the speech which
he addressed to the deputation that
waited on him yesterday.
He gives US excellent advice to
revise our thoughts according to
our experience and to looh-o the
facts which the great upheavaI of
the last three years has revealed to

VESSELS co ASHORE
ON ATLANTIC COAST
Ledses and Shoals Prove Disastrous
in Stony Seas.

Boston, Feb. 2.-Three vessels went
ashore on ledger and a shoal of the
Atlantic coast today endangering the
lives of their crews. One was a ma
val patrol boat, at first reported to
be on fire. This was disproved when
she effected her release and made
port.
The tanker, Alabama, Boston owned,
grounded on a ledge and Is in immi-
nent danger of being pounded to
pieces. Her signals were caught by
radio stations along the coast and aid
was sent as fast as possible.

ONE KILLED, a HURT,
In STREET BATTLE
Bandit Loses Life. Companion Cap
tured in Chicago.

Chicago. Feb. 2.-One bandit was
killed, another shot and captured, a
physician and two policemen
wounded in a spectacular pistol bat
tie late today between two hold-ups
and three policemen. The battle
ended a chase of six blocks through
the crowded shopping district.
The men had held up a store and
as they ran out the police gave
chase. When exhausted by the chase
they ran up to the physician, who
was in his automobile at the curb.
They demanded that he drive them.
When he refused one bandit shot
him.
The pair then turned for battle.
One bandit fell with six bullets in
his body. The other surrendered
when wounded.

That is a matter for the govern

upon. / cannot think Of a thing to
be gained by antagonizing Russia at

question by asking: Why shouldn't
the government be recognised"
Hasn't it been in office, for three
months? Did it not come into Office
with everyone declaring that it was
in German pay.
Have their actions indicated any
thing Of the sort? Were not the en-
tire American public told that the
Bolsheviki would Immediately make q
separate peace with Germany? Have
they made a separate peace with Ger
