FLEEING TO CHILE
Former German Minister to Argen-
tina Said to Have Escaped
from Country

Buenos Aires, March lit is re-
ported here today that Count Won
Luxburg, the former German min
lister has fled Argentine, escaping to
Chile.
Count Won LuXburgs escape was
suspected when reports came from
Puente del Inca, in the Andes, that
the former minister, the former Ger
man naval attache and a large group
of other Germans passed there last
night on the train for Chile. Inquiry
of the police here showed that Won
LuXburg had been missing for several
days from the house in the suburbs
of Lomas de Sonora where he was
supposed to have been under strict
surveillance. He was permitted to
live there because the German hos
pital authorities had informed the
government that his mental condition
required quiet surroundings
The former minister is believed TO
have decided to escape when he
saw the government was trying to
get him out of tho country.

Anti-Bolshcvik Leader Retreats.

Harbin. Manchuria, March r.
General SemenOff, the anti-Bolshevill
leader in Siberia, has retreated into
Manchuria before the advance of a
superior Bolshevik force, say adVices
from the border. The accuracy of
the Bolshevil1 fire during the fighting
is taken to indicate the cooperation
of former German prisoners. General
Semenoff brought his dead and
wounded with him in his retirement.
Nurses and a supporting detachment
are to leave here tonight.
General Semenoffs munitions are
reported exhausted, as we'll as the
funds at his disposal.
officials of the Allies here agree that
the situation in Siberia is growing
worse. Every plan proposed for the
amelioration of conditions meets with
opposition or apathy they say, while
so per cent. of the railway workmen
in Manchuria are B0lshevik in ar-
fliation, whereas a month ago the
percentage was insignificant. Yes
terday the WOrkmen refused to move
guns and trains to the aid Of General
Semenoff and were planning the
destruction of the supply outfit LOYAL
Cossacks, however, forced the move
ment of the relief trains.
Reliable observers, according TO re-
ports received by the Associated Press
correspondent, have found that there
is a widespread pro-German propa-
ganda, with speech making by Boz
shevik orators, among the WOrkmen
with never a word of a pro-a1ly ma
ture.
Doubt of Americas Friendship
The American consul here has dis
tributed $4,000 copies of President
Wilson'S speeches and similar num-
ber have been scattered by the consul
at Viadivostok. All concerned agrees
that O. more effective allied propa-
ganda is essential.
The growth of BolsheviSism is safd
by some of the Investigators to be due
in a measure to fear of the Japanese,
with disbelief in the sincerity OF
American friendship as another fac
tor They report that statements
have been heard among the propa-
gandists that any class of Germans
was preferable to the Japanese and
the idea appears illusory to many
that the Bosheviki will oppose Ger
man influences.

Peculiar Rain Tree.

Rain from tree foliage is an inter-
esting phenomenon Of the Canary IS
lands. DIR. S. V. Perez of Teneritfe
notes that the famous rain tree OF
Ferro, Canaries, grew on head land
where the mountain mists from the
trade winds collected, and by means
of water tanks under it the poor in
habitants of that island, where there
are no springs, actually gathered
enough water for drinking purposes.
The effect Of the foliage in condens-
ing moisture is said to be evident to
anybody passing through a mist-cov-
cred forest in any Of these Islands.
