BUENOS AIKES, Sept. 25.—To
day the Chamber of Deputies after
a prolonged debate in which the
matter of a break with Germany
•was fully discussed, finally vote tc

lations with Germany.
The debate was quite animated
and strong Germanist opinions were
delivered by some of the members,
The final vote showed a large ma
jority in favor of the break with
the Teuton nation. It is now up tc
the President of Argenitna for final
disposition. He is said to be op
posed to the break.

Over four hundred were working
in the plant at the time of this ex
extraordinary explosion and how
the the remainder, over three hund
red workers employed, escaped the
explosion without injury It is im
possible to say. Some of the work
men report marvellous hairbreadth
escapes, not alone from flying de
bris, thrown out by the force of
tlie explosion, but from collapsing
buildings as well.
RICHMOND, Cal., Sept. 2-3.—It;

belief that the blowing up ot th

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 25 —
The national security league anil
other Kindred organizations, some
ot' them not without suspicion of
being under the influence of muni
tionists, have launched a campaign
to oust Senator Lafollette from
the Senate.
These bodies propose to present
resolutions to Congress looking to
i hat end and they nope to start an
agitation which will result in La
follette being removed.
This is clearly impossible.
WASHINGTON, I>. Sept. 25.
Lafollette is not likely to be much
disturbed by the agitation which
is to be carried on against liis pre
sence in the Senate and the imposs
ibility ot affecting his position is
manifest. Contrary to general
opinion a high opinion is entertained
of Lafollette’s integrity.
