CRISIS IN GREAT
STRIKE ARGENTINA
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina. O^t.
Is.—A crisis has been reached in
the great strike in this country.
The railroad workers are stand
ing solidly together.
All industry is completely para
lyzed.
The company papers, at least
that Eection of the press support-j
ing the railroads have charge! I
again and again that Germanists
are at the back of the strike whop ;
there is no grounds for such a !
supposition in any way.
The city is feeling the effect of !
this strike and supplies are coming
by river boat and teams and there
is a shortage even at that.
Many ships are lying .moored in
the stream waiting cargoes that
cannot be delivered.
Today the Minister ol the Interior
through the President struck a
heavy blow against the strikers.
The Government issued a decree,
commandeering the. railroads for
the public service, not excepting
any of the companies’ properties
and all employees are directed to
resume work under government
orders or drastic measures will
follow.
So far this order lias not been
obeyed and the government is
making preparations to operate the
roads and arrest the strikers. It
is believed that considerable tur
moil and disorders will follow. The
country is on the verge of revolu
tion and the situation grave.

PARLIAMENT IS IN
SESSION IN LONDON
LONDON, Oct. 16.—Tlie British
'parliament was convened today and
was opened by the King in person.
This session is confronted with
many difficult questions which will
cause considerable work to solve.
The labor unrest in Great Bri
tain and the report of the Royal
Commission which has been investi
gating it, the activity of the sub
marines and the general food con
trol policy that has been adopted
—all of these things will be con
sidered.
The Glebe makes the prediction
that Premier Lloyd Gecrge -will
ha\e something to say as to the
present situation which will be of
world wide importance. The session
promises in many ways to be the
most important since the war be
gan. The big crux, however, is the
Irish question
LONDON', Oct. 16.—llonrr Law,
Chancellor of the Exchequer in his
review of the situation in the House
of commons, remarkable for i‘s
brevity stated that reprisal attacks
over Germany would he ordered as
soon as aeroplanes capable of be
ing spared from the military needs
coaid be utilized.
Bonar Law's announcement as to
the war must not bo confounded
with the much more important gov
ernment announcement from the
Prcmeir which is expected at any
time.

DARLING & DEAN COMPANY
Ho repoits that British airmen
made an attack upon Routers town
in Belgium destroying an arsenal
which quartered a German regi
ment.
After a bombing the British air
men flying low attacked the town
using machine guns and explosives
with the result that enormous
casualties were sustained by the
enemy.
LONDON, Oct. 10.—There is no!
indication that before Spring the
West front will be the scene of
much more intensive campaigning.
The weather is extremely bad in
Belgium and along the whole west
front to Verdun. This is rendering
present time operations so difficult
that the military experts look for
a continuous lull except for raiding,
for some time.
SEIZE SKII I \\D ESCAPE.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oet 16.—Two
German officers who had had been
on the interned German merchant
men which were later seized by the
United States government made
their escape here today.
In doing so they rubbed it into
the government, for they stole a
skiff belonging to an immigration
cutter and it was through this
means that they made their get
away.
So far they have not been found.

AMSTERDAM, Oft. 1 G.—The
light/ against Chancellor Michaelis
am! his policy, which means the
policy of the Military Headquarters
of which t lie Chancellor is now
merely the figurehead, extends
heyond the borders of Germany,
according to dispatches received
here.
The German press is devoting
much attention and consul- ruble
concern to the recent speech of
Count Czernin, the Austrian For
lieu Minister wherein the latter
aitacked Michaelis "for his failure
to speck frankly of the German
peace terms and the minimum and
ma.xmum demands which tlie Cen
tral powers and their Allies will
make”.
Count Czernin's speech made a
distinct sensation not alone in Am
tria and Hungary but in Germany
as well and the press is considering
the statements at length. Why
these remarks are not censored is
considered very surprising upon
the part of neutral readers.
So much fuss is made over the
startling speed’, of the Austrian
Minister that it is report* d the
Kaiser personally visited Vi ■tuia
for the purpose of correcting the
had impression that hue been
made.
There was talk in Vienna, it is
evident from dispatches, about,
making the emperor ask tin resig
nation of Czernin.
t'zernin is absolutely opposed to
the German dominance of Austro
Hungarian matters and in this has
the support of the emperor.

The growth of the outside de

ilie fact that the local company of

ire unloaded. One carload of (leer
is being shipped to Minneapolis
where it finds a ready sale. The
company will bring down before
Xmas another drive of fat reindeer
this being for the local consump
tion. It is stated that there is just
now somewhat of a shortage of
reindeer meat locally and this wilt
be overcome by this shipment.
