ARGENTINE NOW READY TO DREAK
AMSTERDAM, July 1C.—Follow
ing a conference with Dr. Michaels,
General von Hindenberg returned
to the front on the west.
The occasion of his departure was
made the scene of an extraordinary
and apparently spontaneous peace
demonstration which even the troops
which united with police to line
the way were unable to suppress.
Instead of the tremendous ova
tisons which Hindenberg has been
now uniformly accustomed to, he
was greeted with universal shourf
from thousands of throats “Give
Us Peace”, and “Peace”. The Ger
man leader took little notice of the
demonstration but this evening’s
papers are reporting it as probably
“political”. The immense crowd
unquestionably assembled l'or the
purpose ol making this demonstra
tion. The authorities had antici
pated that it assembled to give the
great war chief an ovation and did
not interfere with their assembly.
In consequence the police are being
blamed for not making more care
ful inquiry as to the purport of the
demonstration.
BFiULIN, July lfi.—It Is admitted
that practically all the military ofli
cials of Prussia will hand in their
resignation. This however, it is
pointed out is merely a matter of
form.
There iu no pacific movement in
officialdom, that is perfectly well
explained in local papers which
speak with authority and reports
to the contrary are wrong.
ARMY OFFICERS SEND
RESULT OF CENSUS
COLUMBUS, N. M. July 16.—
Army officers completed the census
of the twelve hundred men who
were deported from Bisbee and the
facts gleaned reveal how high hand
ed were the proceedings which were
led by the gunmen of the copper
companies.
The census shows that four hund
red and thirty three were married,
three hundred and nine have child
ren, two hundred and sixty own
property in Bisbee. two hundred
and two subscribed to the Liberty
Loan, five hundred and fifteen are
subscribers to the Red Cross Fund,
sixty two are former American
soldiers and an equal number form
er American men o’ warsmen, four
hundred and sixty six were register
ed for drafting, six were to have
been granted naturalization papers
today to join the Red Cross unit
for France, leaving in a few days.
The conditions in the cam]) are
fairly comfortable, the food plenti
ful and wholesome.
It is taken for granted that the
government will dispatch soldiers
with the industrialists and return
them to Bisbee.
The result of the census taken
has caused some surprise, as it was
represented that the men had been
taking their strike action because
urged thereto by Germanist inter
ests.
The deported crowd is taking
tilings quite philosophically.
LONDON, " July lfl.—Whatever
hopes the Germans may have had
that the lull iu the west would en
able them to deflect a good many
troops to the scene of the Slav ac
tivities were dispelled this after
noon when ilie British again began
a heavy offensive on the Scarpe,
penetrating another two thousand
yards in that sector. The Germans
evidently were not expecting the
attack and the barage fire efficient
ly screened their men in trenches
from receiving reinforcements with
the result that hundred? were

COMEDY AT DREAM.
“Shorty’s Ranch” a western
comedy will be the star attraction
at the Drej.m tonight. Shorty, a
hobo represents himself as a Ger

the Baron’s Ranch. It is a fast
comedy and full of laughs. A scenic

now devoting the labor to the con
struction of an immense number of
aeroplanes which will be used in
raids upon the enemy position.
LONDON, July 1G.—An undated
dispatch from Copenhagen says that
the Germans are now stripping the
Danish railroad cars of their axle
grease for use in their machine
guns.
The Danish oars entering Ger
many, come back into Denmark
with axles quite dry and many of
them showing signs of having been
running hot except for a mineral
powder which was used to lubri
cate them Ineffectively instead of
the usual car dope applied by the
Danish railroad carmen. This shows
bow scarce is oil or grease or fat in
the Teuton nations.
STRIKE TAKES IN
ALL LUMBER WORKS
SEATTLI2, July 16.—The strike
of a thousand shingle weavers it
Ballard for the eight hour day is
merely an incident in the
state wide strike in the
lumber industry which is now
spreading throughout the north
west, under the I. W. \V. and other
organizations.
Nine thousand camp and mill men
are out in western Washington, de
mantling the eight hour day.
The strike started in Aberdeen
on Saturday and according to a dis
patch toirght twenty-five hundred
loggers, three thousand millmen,
two hundred ship builders, one
hundred tub makers are out involv
ing a complete shut down of camps,
mills, and shipyards in Gray’s har
bor.
1 The Tacoma mills were closed to
(lay when the strike was called. In
Kverett there are thirteen hund
red men, most of whom were em
ployed in the Weyerhauser mills,

of the Cascades wires in that the
men walked out today and orders
are cancelled.
The mill at Ooid Bar, another
plant of great capacity was closed
Hl'ENOS AYRES, July 16.—This
republic is expected to break with
Germany hourly. In anticipation
of popular riots following the rup
ture between the two nations, Ger
man legations, Teuton Commercial
and Banking House are all under a
heavy guard of soldiers.
The scenes in the streets indicate
how unpopular has become the
neutral policy of the government
and vast crowds parade the streets
demanding an immediate break
with Germany and Austria.
The sinking of another Argentine
vessel hr.s raised the public fury to
a white heat and as the pro-war
organs of the oi position are referr
ing with sarcastic geniality to the
government's "satisfactory explana
tion of preceding sinkings” the de
mand for war is not likely to he
delayed.
H is practically charged in sonic
of the organs that German mom y
ha.’ been aide to swing the cabinet
and President into line, and tlio
public is only loo willing to eagerly
believe these reports.
The well known activities of the
Geiman diplomats and the warm
relations between the government
officials and the German finatu tal.
men settled here are regarded as.
prc.ot enough that they have, sold
out.
it is even in government citv . s
conceded that a break with r
many is now actually inevitable.
LONDON, July 16.—The western
front especially in the vicinity of
Champagne is being denuded of
men, according to today’s reports,
/nd these are being rushed to Rus
sia to stem the victorious flood of
Slavic victory.
The loss of Kalusch, represent
ing an advance over difficult terri
tory and against a superior force,
ol twenty miles in practically a
day and half has shown the Ger
man leaders that the situation is
growing critical.
COPENHAGEN, July 16.—It is
indicated that the Dvinsk sector
will be the scene of an attempt
upon the part of tlie German forces
to attack the Slav lines there ini
tiating such a weighty offensive its
will make it impossible for the Rus
sians to resist.
German evening papers talk about
: the coming overthrow of the Slavs
j at Riga and then “on to Petrograd”
PARIS, July 16.—The movement
of German troops from Champagne
!s indicated by the airmen and re
ports show that the Russian succes
ses are compelling the Germans to
return men to the front against tho
Slavs in the eastern theater of war.
There is no likelihood of an imme
diate offensive being undertaken by
reason of these reports until the?
ease is fully proved.
Rome reports indicate that train
movements northward indicated
tho return o; (lie troops to that
sector.
TACOMA, July 16.—All carmen
went out on strike in Tacoma this
morning with not one car running.
It is annunced that the Seattle
carmen are going out at midnight
tonight, that is unless their de
mands are granted.
The trouble started in Tacoma
where men were discharged for
join their union and the company
served notice ihat organization of
the men would under no circum
stances be permitted.
The tie up will have a serious ef
fect, but tile jitneys are expected
to be able to handle the situation
to perfection. A large* number of
vehicles ha\e been placed in service
in Tacoma, and are doing a land of
fice business all day with much less
inconvenience to the travellers than
would otherwise have resulted had
these not been in vogue.
SEATTLE, July 10.—There has
been an ef’ort made to prevent the
differences between the local car
men and the company reaching a
crisis and the anticipated walkout
becoming an accomplished fact.
The men this morning served no
tice on the company that they
would walk out at midnight unless
down by a general walk out. A
General strike call wrs printed this
morning and tomorrow it is expect
ed that probably ninety per cent of
the loggers in Washington will
come out and they will also walk
out solidly in eastern Washington,
Idaho, and Montana.
The 1. W. W. halls at Yakima,
St. Maries, and Pasco have been
closed.
their (Ioniamis were agreed to.
'i'ho general movement may affect
the street ears in every city in tho
state. It is realized that the trac
tion situation is very serious.
