Buenos Aires, Sept. 10.—The :Swe- dish minister to Argentina, Baron Lowen, today. denied that dispatches in cipher had been sent to Berlin by the German charge through the Swe- dish legation at Buenos Aires. He de- clared: 1 “I have not sent, nor caused to be sent by the legation under my charge, any telegram from, the German lega- tion.

That the situa- tion is regarded as serious was evi- denced by the fact that the populace, | usually gay on Sunday, were remark- | ‘ably quiet and sober-faced. Dancing ; girls, waving Argentine flags and be- | decked with American and British flags, were greeted with silence at the society matinee after being spnlandet all week. B, NO. 214 E OF WAR EX!

One: paper carries a headline in large type: ! “America demands a deposition of the Hohenzellerns,” which it follows with a furious denunciation of Amer- icalin which the alleged demand is alluded to as “The climax of the arro- gant insolence of the American gov- ernment,” and adds: a “Which will be met by an‘emphatic ‘hands off’ from the reichstag.’ mountain would constitute.

General Petain’s troops last night clinched the success they won north- east of Verdun on Saturday, when they pushed their lines ahead materially in the Fosse and Caurieres wood sector. The Germans were obliged to ‘aban- don their furious assaulting tactics, probably because of the heavy losses they sustained in attacks which left the French lines unshaken. Paris characterizes the repulse sus- tained by the crown prince here as an “important one,” and dwells on the extremely serious extent of the casu- alties inflicted by the French fire.

The German movement in the Riga district is definitely halted, according to indications in the current report.

TTT What Makes for WAY HAVE CHILDREN The Crefeld General Anzeiger, in a recent issue, printed the following as- tounding “next war” statement: “There are more than a million war widows in Germany. They cahnot be allowed to remain widows for two rea- sons. In the first place, the empire looks to them to provide an army for Germany’s future defense, and in the next place, many of them are attend- ing to the business of their late hus- band’s without possessing the neces- sary knowledge. “All the widows must, therefore, get married at once, and preferably to wounded or otherwise unfit soldiers. They may rest assured that the na- tional committee for the remarriage of war widows will handle the busi- ness with the requisite discretion. The committee will pay special attention to men in the hospitals, and will in- sert anonymous advertisements in the papers generally read by war widows. “I€ may be added that the uttiliza- tion of crippled soldiers. and war- stricken women in the interests of the empire's future wars has the cor- dial approval of our great Hinden- burg.” Edw.

TS AT P in HER D SOON PEACE. FROM GOVERNMENT: WANTS TO PAVE WAY FOR END — Entente Will Turn Down Any Overtures That Mean Status Quo Before War London, Sept, 10.--'Throughout of- ficial London the delief is held that a very definite peace offer will come from Germany. before winter, and that the offer will suggest cessation of hos- tilities on a status quo basis. To Refuse Terms. Entente, statements have fully in- dicated that they <'\will refuse such terms, and no “doudt Germany. is aware of this. But German leaders regard a status quo offer from the German side as an-indispensable step in the preparation’of German public opinion for further coucessions. A high official authority gave the As- sociated Press today the following statement of the situation in Germany as regards peace: .. “There is no doubt that the Ger- man government is;anxious to get out ot the war at the earliest possible mo- ment on any ternis ‘which will imsure them against any revoluiion at home and national collapse.

The question is now in fact not what are the war aims which Germany will tm- pose before she grants peace, but what terms she herself would be will- ing to accept.

Washington, Sept. 10.—Russian embassy officials believe the dis- position of General Korniloff was forced by the elements of the Council of Workmen's and Sol- diers’ delegates opposed to the death penaity for mutiny, and that General Klembovsky, the new commander, will modify the death penalty. The embassy had not received official news of General Kornil- off's removal. Petrograd, Sept. 10.—Premier Ker- ensky has declared that a state of war exists in the town and district of Petrograd.

Frank White Would Seem Indication That Plans Have Been Decided 22 COMMISSIONS STILL VACANT IN THE SECOND That the First and Second North Dakota infantry wili train with south- ern troops at Greenville, S. C., is now taken for granted, and it is expected that orders to entrain for Greenville will be received during the week. Field ranges and other equipment to be used en route have been expressed from Chicago and will be received within the next 24 hours. The troops are well supplied with blankets and {cots and have a fair equipment of clothing. Pup tents have not been distributed, but they will not be needed on the journey. The heavy tentage, according to Colonel Frank White's advice, already has been shipped from Atlanta, Ga., to Green- ville. Greenville is a city of 15,000 in the Cumberland region. It is the site of Camp Sevier. Here will be mobilized the national guard from Tennessee and North and South Carolina and a portion of the District of Columbia guard. A camp commander has been named, but it is anticipated that bri- gade commanders will be named from among the organizations composing ;the camp, and that Col. John H.

Eleven cabinet ministers have been in continuous session in the winter palace today, considering measures to face General Korniloff’ revolt, which, in conversation with the Associated Press correspondent, the ministers admit is the gravest event since the revolution. So far, except for the disposition of General Korniloff, which the gen- eral is determined to defy, no meas- ures have been decided upon, but the discussion is proceeding on a plan to constitute a directory of five men vested with full power. The names so far submitted for membership in this body are Premier Kerensky, Vice Pre- mier Nekrazeff, M. Skobeleff, minis- ter of labor; M. Tertstohenko, minis- ter of foreign affairs; and M. Savin- koff, minister of war. In a talk with correspondents, For- eign Minister Terestchenko said: Plan Directorate. “The plan for the directorate is un- der discussion and may be decided to- night.
