Kvents of The Week.,
The past week has been marked
with exposures of <;<erman intrigue
in tills country with the mobilization
of the great selected army and with
active work in Congress toward for
warding war preparations. The events
in our own country have Immmi of a
MilllcienIly acute character as to di
vert attention somewhat from the pro
l'ci'ss of the war. and along that line,
indeed, there were no iiccurences of
;in unusually important nature. The
Uu.s>ian situation appears to have l?een
fast resuming the normal, order being
worked out of disorder, and the Kus
<laii I Joveriinient regaining its equilib
rium. Then* lias lieen a cessation of
the disturbing reports ..f Russian re

account marked it* recovery from its

The western front continues the scene

few ila.vv both the Mritish and French
ha \ o captured positions that arc re
garded 11s ut' great importance to the
fortune* ??f the Allies. ;ind are holding
them, eertaiu position* having been
consolidated so as to make recapture"
h\ the enemy i remote possibility.
A notable feature of the closing days
of the week was 11 dispatching of
peace notes by the Central Powers to
the Pope. Austria, in her note, plead
ed openly and with manifest sincerity
for peace on the best terms that could

Washington. Sept. ;>&,??-Ik* Idea fur
ther coiisol Idating the Americas In the
war for democracy, the addition of
Argentina to (iermany'w IlKf of enemies
would mean the partial relieving of
the Pulled Sltites and Uracil ttoetA in
the patrol of the' Houtlt;Atlantic and]
even If there should not 1h? Inoro
speetaculnr co-operation hy sending an
army to France.
Advised as they have heen of the|
sent intent of the republic in Argen
tina. the aetion of the senate and the
chamber of deputies with (Serinauy
created little surprise among officials
of the state department, and it. is
believed here that the break will be
followed by war.
President Irogoyen has been consist
ent in his determination not to per
mit Ids country to tak<* Any other than
a neutral itosition, but it is considered
improbable that he will veto tho ac
tion of, the legislative branch of his
government. A political danger won hi
fatv his administration in such a
course since the majority of the poo*
ple npiM'ar to feel keenly the ridic
ulous position in which their country
has heeA placed hy the duplicity of
the Herman minister. The discovery
today that the strikes and riots in
Ituciios Aires was instigated and sup
ported by (iei'man agents only makes
the situation worse.
Kntr.v into the war will enalrtr Ar
gentina to regain her prestige in South
American affairs,^ damaged when Bra
zil formally broke relations with (Jer
inany ami then sent her fleet to sea
to co-operate with that of the United
States, ltrazil did not formally de
clare that a state -of war existed, and
it is believed that If forced to break
relations President Irogoyen will seize
the opportunity to step ahead of Bra
zil in declaring war.
Although great military support
might not be given the allies by Ar
gentina. her economic aid would be
important. Perhaps the largest pro
ducing country in South America, she
could t'ontrihijte plentifully to the
food supplies of the fighfing nations.

that if Congress had taken the action

have been over.
"If we take heed of any peace ut

show that we are not prepared yet
to go nut into the world without a

Major Ceneral Leonard Wood, in a

it can only be won with men and by

ANOTHER BLOW BY BRITISH <
Many Important Positions Have Fallen
in British Hands.
Field Marshal Hair's men again
are striking in Flanders and tlie force
of their blow like those that have
preceded. Is meeting with good results
on a front ??f nearly six miles.
Notwithstanding the necessity of
carrying the battle to Crown Prince
Bupprecht across uninviting ground?
virtually a inorrass owing to iwent
rains and against the inevitable con
t rete and steel redoubts and woods
and shell craters teeming with rapid
tire guns?the lOnglLsh. Scotch and
Australian troops have snatched valu
able vantage ixdnts from the tier
mans but not without teritilc opposi
tion.
The batttc at last nrcnunts was still
racing with the greatly reinforced
Germans. who had anticij>ated the new
thrust, to lighting with unu.<ua) bitter
ness to hold hack further British ad
vances or to recapture terrain already
wrested from them.
(Jen. Haig's new thrust was deliv
ered from the base of front line po^
sitions captured and consolidated last
week, ltofore which the Germans liehl
numerous vantage lwints of strategic
value, barring the way to furtheF in
roads by the British or for harrassing
the British line by machine gun an<|
rifle tire.
As on previous occasions Gejr. Halff
loosed a veritable inferno of artillery",
launching his attack in the early hours
of Wednesday morning and when night
fell many imjjortant positions had been
cleared of the enemy, but with the
Germans at numerous other points sav
agely contesting the right of way.
Probably the most significant gain
of the British, which the (iermans aff
,sert was to a depth of two-thirds of
mile at certain joints, was near Za
ueheke, to within a few hundred yan
of the western outskirts of which vi
lagre th$y penetrated, placing the

On the other fronts, tweefrt in (t
