COUNT LUxBURC
 LEAVES 8 MONTHS AFTER RECALLED

Bunos Aires, July 2-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press)-The departure of Count Karl von Luxburg, the deposed Minister of the German Empire, eight months after the Ar genuine government ordered him out of Argentina, recalls the failure of Germany's fondest dream in Argen- tina-the establishment of a wireless station powerful enough to maintain direct communication with the big German station at Nauen.
 The day after Luxburg was given his passports, this station was dis mantled by the Argentina govern ment which withdrew the temporary concession under which it was oper- ating. Great secrecy surrounded this station.
 Early last year the Argentine gov ernment issued a temporary conces- sion to enable a German syndicate to conduct experiments with a wire less station, on the promise that the station would merely attempt to re- ceive the Nauen dispatches and would not be used for the transmission of messages It later became known that the station was sending as we'll as receiving.
 Some time before the Luxburg scan day the Argentine government had put a representative at the station to keep it sealed. When 1t was learn l ed that the station was operating de- | spite the presence of the government agent the President sent a naval of l f1cer to dismantle the station and to remain there to see thaat it was not | reconstructed.
 The German station was situated on the estate of a very wealthy and we'll known Argentine about 45 miles l from Buenos Aires near Plomer. It | was six miles from the railroad sta ton but it's posts could be seen from 1 the railroad on a clear day.
 Some idea of the size of the radio l station can be gleaned from the fact | that the antennae were stretched along sixteen posts, set at equal dis | tances apart and covering two miles. | These posts were 70 feet high. | The experimenters had a good deal
 of trouble with atmospheric condi-
 tions The operator, Richard Metz
 Ter, stated that he had been able to 
 talk without difficulty with Spain
 which was relaying the Nauen mess l ages and that it would not be long
 before he would be able to talk direct | with Nauen. His station was dis
 mantled week after he made that
 statement, and largely because of his | statement. This enterprise was one of the most
 important, in the minds of local Ger
 man officials, as this station was to
 have served for the receipt of the
 German propaganda messages. Lux
 burg is understood to have been per
 sonally responsible for the enterprise
 and the station was located on the
 estate of man known to be his close friend.
 Now the station is dismantled
 Luxburg has gone and the local Ger
 mans find their propaganda task a
 difficult one, though they are still do-
 ing the best they can with it.

ENGLISH MEN ..
 PRECIATEU, s.
 SOLDIERS HIGHLY

Liverpool, July 5.-The high regard iu which the American soldier is held by experienced British fighters is at- tested hy a correspondent of the Liv- erpool Post. He writes:
 Tine official testimony as to th 3 quality of the American troops is con ' firnled by unofficial evidence that the new fighting force is appreciat- ed highly by the veteran warriors of three or four years of war. Our own men at first were inclined to be suspicious of the Americans because they thought they would 'swank" about coming in to finish the war, but when they found that the Amer jeans did not 'swank' and were eager to learn the art of warfare, all sus- ricior vanished, and comradeship in arms is springing up.
 The Americans in this country are creating an excellent impression, and when we get over our shyness, and when the American wounded are en- trusted to our care, relationships will become still more intimate. An Aus tralian officer told me that he and his frieneds had come to regard leave to England as equivalent as nearly as possible to visit home. and it is hoped that the Americans will soon come to have the same feeling"
Republican farmer., 1918-07-12

There will be no limit to the num-. Der of troops and cannon that this country will send against the. forces of the Teutonic autocracy. Every industry and every dollar in the land is pledged to support the war until victory for the Allies.
 This, briefly, is the governments fight until victory program, outlined by Franklin K. Lane, secreary of the interior, in an address here today.
 Secretary Lane said 2,00O, ,oo0 troops will be added to the 1000, 900 1 already in France, if needed, a year from now. -.-. .s We realize now what we are. fight ing for" Secretary Lane declared. We are not fighting merely from pride because Germany outed us. We are not fighting to make a page in the history of wars out of desire for martial glory. We are not fighting merely to protect international rights guaranteed by treaty and custom.
 we are at war, when the last | word is said for the preservation of what we call Christian civilization, which is the recognition of the fact that physical force must be limited | by moral force that the world is not | to belong to the strongest"
 Secretary Lane made plea for the | teaching of Americanism.
 "Americanism," he declared, 'fs neither internationalism nor intensi- fled nationalism, but a growth and | the right to grow.'
 There are 5,5OO,Oo0 illiterates in the United States 1000 of these are within the draft ages, Secretary Lane said, declaring it is shame that public schools are open only half a year and "a disgrace that teachers in them are paid less than day la borer."

LAKE EMPLOYES MAKE A RECORD
 FOR THE FOURTH \
Accomplish Nearly Nine Hour Task in 3 Hours Do-
 mated to the Government.

Under the leadership of F. M. Ak tell. the Lake Torpedo Boat Co., s workers who yesterday donated three hours of their work to the govern ment established a record which bids fair to lead all marks set in any part of the world. The entire staff be- came so enthused with the knowledge they were doing something really helpful for our fighters in France that they actually put nine hours work into the tasks which they fin ished in three.
 Their great slogan was we cannot fight, but we can work" and riveters moulders, patternmakers, pressmen brass workers and in fact every branch of the shipbuilding industry pitched into the spirit of the Glorious Fourth and worked as they never worked before. Handle 'em rough was the slogan of the ironworkers and if Fritz co1ld only see the gangs of men making short work of allotted tasks he would realize for once the l fighting spirit which now pervades every section and class of the one | hundred millions of people in Amer. | ica.
 1 Gablegrams telling of the actior taken by the men employed by tht Lake Company, were sent to Admira | Sims, commander of the United State! | Naval forces in Europe, and to Gen
 eral Pershing, commander-in-chief O l the American Armies in France. Tele | grams were also dispatched to Presi
 dent Wilson, Secretary of War Baker
 Secretary of the Navy Daniels anC
 other prominent government official
 in Washington.
 Hearing of the action taken by tn
 Lake men, Superintendent M. B. Off
 ford, of the Casper Ranger Construc
 ton Co.,, which is putting up nev buildings for the Lake Company, wa l approached by his men who wishe,
 to work overtime on Wednesday, bu
 as they had already worked eigh
 hours, this could not be done, so tn
 entire force of the construction com pany donated three hours pay to tn

He spoke to me about the great pleasure he found in cooperating with him. He like wise praised the efforts of our naval reserve officers, who have the privil- ege of being identified with profes- sional officers during the war.
 With Admiral Wilson's ordnance of- ficer we paid a visit to his friend and ally the French Prefect of Ma rine whose friendly and interesting re- marks on his comrade and on our na- wy have tuoched us very much, as al- so the favorable impressions of our Minister of the Navy.
 Coordination of Allied Fleets.
 Today there are upon French coasts not only French fleet and an Amer ican fleet, but a French-American fleet, with French boats and Ameri- can boats, each one maintaining its esprit de corps and it's independence but the unity of command is assured by a constant contact and an intimate union of the two admiralties, whict cooperate in the following fashion with the English admiralty.
 The American navy is represented on the French coast by cruisers, tor pedo-boat destroyers submarine cha sers, mine draggers, patrol ships (keeping watch over the coast-wise shipping and conveying transports across the Atlantic) and hydroplanes without speaking of the role which it plays in the centre of military ac' ton.
 It has in this port also a repair beat which seems to be rendering great service, and is also at the ser, vice of the French navy. It is sor of floating factory where all the worl of forge and carpentry-shop is done enormous motors in repair are seer there the whole propelled by electric motors. The machinery is installed l according to the most modern meth ods, and if there is need of an exper | mechanician, he is to be had among the reserves of this factory boat.
