German Immigrants
Go to South America
fBy Associated Pressi

Buenos Aires.-Four hundred German
immigrants came to Argentina few
days ago to seek their fortunes anew
on board the first passenger vessel fly
ing the German flag which entered this
port since the beginning of the war
The majority of them were members
of the former German middle-class and
about 80 were officers of the German
army, but few are understood to have
possessed any capital with which to
start life over again. Most of them
were counting upon prompt employ
ment to provide them with livelihood
The same vessel landed about 300 Ger
man immigrants in Brazil and small
er number in Uruguay. It is under
stood that this was the first of several
steamers which are to bring contin-
gents of German immigrants to these
shores.

American Navy is
Caring for Refugees

Constantinople.-The American navy
IS acting as guardian to the Crimean
refugees in the hospitals of this city.
whose families have been separated
from them. The absolute necessity of
evacuating refugees from CONSTANT
nople has resulted in hundreds depart
ing from the city and leaving kinsfolk
behind, i'll in the hospitals. The Amer
lean navy has undertaken to keep track
of all of the sick people thus separated
from their families. The number of
sick is increasing. The Russian sum-
mer' embassy at Buyk-Dere has been
turned into refugee hospital equipped
by the American Red Cross. Such is
the inadequacy of facilities for caring
for the sick, that in ali hospitals avail
able for refugees, more than half Of
the patients are sleeping on the floor.

LABORITE MAKES WAR
ON BRITISH PREMIER
Virtually Challenges Premier to Gem
eral Elections in Statement
Given Out Today.

(By Lloyd Allen, United Press staff
Correspondent
Copyright 1921 by the United Press)
London Arthur Henderson, most
powerful labor leader in Great Brit
ain today virtually challenged Pre-
mier Lloyd George to a general cleo
tions on the issues raised by the
threatened industrial revolution in the
United Kingdom. Known throughout
the war as conservative and a con-
ciliator, Henderson in an exclusive in
terview with the United Press indi-
Gated his one idea now is to over
throw the Lloyd George government
Radical and conservative laborites, he
said, have been cemented by the crisis
brought on by the great coal strike.
A victory for labor with Lloyd George
an outcast and a laborite government
based on social justice will result from
the next election, he declared. Con-
temptuously referring to the 'insin-
cerity, inconsistence and INCONSISTENCY"
of the premier, Henderson declared
Lloyd Georges party is falling to
pieces. The labor party will not only
survive Lloyd Georges attack but will
be strengthened by it," he said. "His
hysterical attacks are not deceiving
any one, not even HIMSELF" Hender-
son refused to announce the complete
labor platform but made it clear that
when labor wins" it will reconstruct
society, impoverished and disorgan-
lied by the long war, on the princi-
Piles of social justice and economic
freedom"

BOOZE AND JEALOUSY
BAD COMBINATION
Three Dead as Result Of Combination
at Michigan City-Woman in
Case Missing.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire,

Michigan City, Ind. While strong
drink and jealousy are assigned as the
cause for the killing here yesterday Of
Captain Frank Zimmerman and George
Spencer of the local police force by
William Ristau of Chicago, the shoot
ing Of Frank Arndt and the where
abouts of Ristau's companion, Helen
Conway, remained unexplained today.
Ristau shot the officers when they
attempted to arrest Helen Conway and
Immediately drove to Arndt's soft
drink place, called him out and shot
him twice, once in each leg. Then
he committed suicide by putting bull
let through his head.
In the meantime Helen Conway has
disappeared and her trail led to the
river. It was being dragged today.
Chicago police are interested in the
case because they say Helen Conway
knew Paul Labriola, the politician who
was shot and killed there last month.
They have never apprehended the men
who killed Labriola nor has a reason
able clue ben furnished as to why he
was killed.

NOTE TO BERLIN

Secretary Tells Germany
America Expects Her to
Keep Obligations.
SIMONS NOTE Barred
American Secretary Of State
Expresses Hope of Early
Settlement with Allies.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)

Washington Formal statement of
the attitude of the United States to to
German PREPARATIONS is contained in an
exchange of communications with Ger
commissioner at Berlin.
The German communication dated
March %, was written by DR.. Walter
Simons, German foreign minister and
asserted it was entirely clear" both
to the government and people that
Germany "must make reparations to
the limit Of her ability to pay" but
sought examination by unbiased ex
perts," to determine the extent of
her ability.
Hughes Shows Pleasure.
In his reply dated March 20 Secre-
tary Hughes expressed pleasure at
Germany's "unequaivocal expression"
Of it's desire to pay to the limit of
ability and declared the United States,
Stands with the governments of the
Allies in holding Germany responsible
FOR the war and therefore morally
bound to make PREPARATION, SO far as
may be possible"
"This government" Secretary Hugh
es' memorandum said, 'believes that it
recognizes in the memorandum of DR..
Simons a desire on the part of the
German government to reopen nego-
tiations with the Allies on a new basis
and hopes that such negotiations, once
resumed, may lead to a prompt settle
ment which will at the same time salts
fly the just claims of the Allies and
permit Germany hopefully to renew
it's productive activities"
The State Department emphasized
that the communications were exchang-
ed before the arrival in this country
of M. Viviani as special French envoy.
Suggests International Loan.
DR.. Simons suggested that an inter-
national loan in favor Of which the AL
lied and Associated governments would
give the general mortgages, constuiptt-
ed the only solution of the problem.
He declared that Germany was pre-
pared to offer the necessary security
for such loan, adding that it had been
reiterated that the situation of Ger
many was better than that of many of
the Allied and Associated countries
because she had no foreign debts.
Germany would not be unwilling"
he said, ITO assume the obligation of
the interest and amortization of the
foreign debts of the Allied and Assoc
lated powers, within the limit of her
capacity, should this measure be enter
2ined by the Allied and Associated
governments and their creditors"
DR.. Simons' memorandum was a
lengthy document going extensively
into Germany's situation and the State
Department announced that copies of
both this communication and the Amer
lean reply had been handed to diplo-
matte representatives Of the Allied
powers in Berlin.
In his memorandum DR.. Simons ex-
pressed the earnest desire" of Ger
many to reach accord with the Allies
and the sincere purpose to meet re-
quirements as far as possible

man, narrowly escaped serious injury
and possibly death yesterday afternoon
when he was fired upon by two speed
ers in gray Stutz bearcat automo-
bile. The Stutz, according to Robin
son this morning, was greatly mud be-

Robinson started after them. The
speeders stepped on the gas and with
Robinson after them turned at corner
towards Rowland avenue with Robin
son after them at a seventy mile an
hour clip.
Fired Two Shots at Him.
Robinson was forced to slow down to
keep from going into the ditch when
an auto approached from the west and
it was then that the bandits opened
fire on him. Robinson continued the
chase but as soon as the Stutz got on
the dirt road on South Rowland they
drew away from the motorcycle police
man. Robinson stated that he was on
the lookout Tor the car and that he
would recognize it and it would go
hard with the drivers. Robinson was
untouched by either of the revolver
bullets.

Father Investigates Case.
The father of the victim said this
morning that he could not understand
how the crane happened to be left in
such a way that the accident could oc-
cur. The crane, a portable one used
to raise materials into cars was the
property of the Kenosha Boiler and
Structural Company, and was left in
the yards near the Sticktite Company.
It is admitted that there were no
fences around the yards but it is said
that the crane was located on private
property and that the boys could not
reach it without trespassing.
Coroner Truman T. Parker is making
an investigation of the case. An in
quest will probably be held on Tuesday
morning.
