ARGENTINE GOVT,
and HOLY SEE NEAR
ROW OVER NUNC|0

Buenos Aires, Jan. 10.-A definite
rupture is imminent between the Ar
gentine government and the Holy
See. according to La Nacion, as a
consequent of the Argentine govern
ment's notification to the Vatican
that the papal nuncio, Monsignor
Giovanni Beda Cardinale, and his
secretary, are persona non grata.
Seemingly in reprisal for the re-
fusal of Cardinal Gasparri to give
the government reasons for the Holy
Sees objection to the nomination by
the government of Monsignor De
Andrea as archbishop of Buenos, it
is said the government will refuse to
give the Vatican reasons for pro-
nounclng Monsignor Cardinale an
undesirable representative.
1t is not believed that, under these
circumstances. the Vatican will ap-
point new nuncio. 1t is understood
that Monsignor Cardinale will retire
from Argentina within two weeks,
but according to La Nacion'S inform
ants, should the Vatican undertake
to maintain the present nuncio here,
1t might result in the government be-
ing obliged to adopt extreme meas
ureS."
The objections are said to be based
on alleged INSTRUMENTATION transmit
ted by MOnSigror Cardinale to the
Vatican and to the Argentine gov
crnment in the matter of De An
drea and undiplomatic activities in
opposition to the latter.

net was founded. and reiteration of
Germany's intention Loyalty to fulfill
the provisions of the London aglce-
ment, were the outstanding Ceclara-
lions Of Chancellor Hans Luther's in
augural statement to the Reichstag
this evening.
The new chancellor announced
that any attempt to alter the Repuo-
lean constitution by force or other
illegal weapons would be sternly
resisted and dealt with as high trea-
son. Germany's adoption of he
Dawes Preparations plan and all IS

part of the other contracting parties

Both with reference to its position
on foreign issues and internal %

DR.. Luther reiterated the demand
that the documents bearing on ne
alleged failures of Germany in the
matter of disarmament should be

Respecting Germany's position to-
ward the League of Nations, this, he
pointed out, had been made clear in
the late governments memoran 1um
to the council of the league, and he
declared he would continue the
previous governments efforts to re-

Heart of State - Vermont
and New Hampshire Also
Record Low Marks

Boston, Jan. ia cold wave
which swept in almost without
warning from the maritime provinces
of Canada and the north Atlantic,
gripped Northern New England to-
day. driving the mercury to records
of so and Sc degrees below zero.
Temperatures in some places were
reported as the lowest in - years
reached points said to be the lowest
on record.
That the extreme cold would be
eased somewhat tonight was indiCat-
ing by the weather bureau which
predicted that Tuesday would lot
be so cold" and that the fair wealth
er would be succeeded by increasing
Cloudinness.
The coolest spot reported in New
England was Fort Fairfield, Maine,
near the New Brunswick borde",
where an unofficial temperature or
81 degrees below zero was register
ed. The drop in temperature was
the greatest that the thermometer
had shown in eight years.
The low reading was corroboratei
by reports from many parts OF
neighboring towns of Caribou, in
Aroostook county, where tempera-
lures OF 81 were recorded. The State
hospital at Fairfield reported u read
ing of 80 degrees below zero.
Although Massachusetts shivered,
extreme temperatures were not re-
ported. In Boston early today tic
official thermometer showed a tenn
perature of degrees above zero.
In Vermont and New Hampshire,
the cold wave was little less severe
than in Maine. In Colebrook, n. H.,
close to the Canadian border, the
mercury sank. to ~ degrees below.
Barre, VT, reported 36 degrees pe-
low. Gardiner, Maine, had an Of?
fetal record of 35 below: Franklin,
n. H., reported II below: Concorl l,
in southern New Hampshire, had
an official reading Of 16 below.
The weather bureau tonight in
dictated that slightly warmer wealth.
err tomorrow would probably be ac-
companied by snow.
North and northeast of Boston the
cold wave was accompanied by
strong displays of aurora borealis
which seriously hampered telegraph
transmission to Canada and the
maritime provinces.

At St. Johns, n. B.

night swept through the Methodist
College here and it was feared that the
four-story brick building housing the
college would be totally destroyed.
The loss. it was estimated might reach
