BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 21.—The
.Argentina republic is taking no
chances on German frightfulness
against its citizens and has taken
the unprecedented step of jailing
Count Luxburg, (he German attache
liere.
3t has not asked for the with
drawal of Luxburg but jailed him
as an offender against its own laws,
refusing to recognize any privilege
attached to bis person.
Through the Austrian consulate
legal aid was sought in securing the
Count’s release and for the past
three days this effort has heen ma
terializing.
Yesterday however the Supreme
Court of Argentina had the case
under consideration after it had
been argued by the best authorities
on International Law in the repub
lic.
Today the Court handed down its
final decision in the Luxburg ease
refusing the application for a writ
of habeas corpus and practically
recognizing the authority of the
Argentina government to hold the
Count.
The case is of so unusual a na
ture that it attracted widespread
attention and the pleadings were
witnessed by practically all the di
plcmatic corps in the capital, all
at least having representatives at
the important hearings.
What the government intends to
do with Luxbtirg appears to be
somewhat of a mystery, but there is
evidently no inclination to give him
his freedom.
ZURICH, Oct. 21.—On Thursday
last the Kaiser sailed from Constan
tinople through the Sea of Marmora
to Gallipoli to view the scene of
the campaign, according to dis
patches received here.
Following a conference at Soda
where all the leaders in the Central
Powers and their Allies were pre
sent and discussed the war situa
tion in every phase, the German
emperor left from the Bulgarian
capital for Constantinople. He was
accorded a great reception in the
Ottoman capital and was practi
(•ally the guest oi the Sultan during'
the time of his visit.
A Turkish cruiser carried the j
Kaiser to Gallipoli where he went
over the scene ot battle and was;
greatly impressed by the Turkish
defense.
The Kaiser again returned to
Constantinople. Before leaving the
Gallipoli peninsula he addressed j
the troops which were drawn up
for his reception and congratulated
them upon the wonderful defense
which they had maintained against
tho foes that sought to invade their
country and destroy their splendid
capital.
The Kaiser was carefully guard
ed throughout his stay in Constan
tinople and everywhere he went
he was accompanied by an elaborate
military retinue.
The reason for this sudden atten
tion to Turkey may not be uncon
nected with underground reports
as to a desire upon the part of that
nation for peace at almost any
price.
You’ll see it first in the Worker.

Movie stars Wm. Desmond, makes
his apearance, at the Dream tonight
in support of Bessie Berriscale, in
the sensational play “Not My
Sister”. This is an unusual Triangle

XT eat problem play.

LONDON, Oct. 21.—Papers are
still looking forward to a prolong
ed debate on the Irish question of
Tuesday.
Dublin telegrams indicate that
the attitude of the Irish party on the
reform in the Franchise, opposing
it as they do, and excusing them
selves as a matter to be disposed
by an Irish parliament, is incensing
the people.
Many Irish papers claim that if
there was an election tomorrow the
nationalist or Uedmomlites would
not win a seat.
BERLIN, Oct. 21.—The continu

terms are now absent in the pa

WASHINGTON, D. C\, Oct. 21.—
Brigadier General Crowder, the
Trovost Marshal General, upon
whom the carrying out of the draft
organization has officialy fallen has
now announced his solution of the
problem with regard to calling
married men to the colors.
Me announced today that unmar
ried men would tie the first call,
leaving those with dependents alone
if possible.
The second draft would be di
videtl into five classes: first those
withotu dependents or without in
dustrial demand at hinie; second,
third and fourth, those needed at
home or in the trenches in varying
degress.
Fifth will ho those crippled or
physically unfit to serve and any
who from any cause whatsoever
cannot serve.
It is further announced that the
first call will ho exhausted before j
the second is called and so on as ■
Hie numbers are taken and in this
manner it is believed that the de
cision will satisfy all.
There is quite a large number
now in the cantonments who would
come under categories which under
this ruling would not be called
until a later issue of the draft.
The growing demand upon (ho
part of employer- is for industrial
conscription and this is rousing con
siderable opposition upon tin rt
of the workers.

Carl Selenius was the victim of
the always dangerous gasoline can
yesterday in the cabin on the beach
where he is living and is now
under medical treatment for sever
burns in the Holy Cross Hospital.
Carl was rising Sunday morning
and to stait a iire threw 'he con
tents of a kerosene can in the stove
to start it. It turned out to be
gasoline and an explosion followed,
scattering lire in all directions and
setting fire in dangerous fashion to
Carl’s clothing. He rushed into the
water and this plunged killed the
fire. He immediately lost no time
making for Nome, not stopping to
change his clothes which leaves the
burns in somewhat inflamed shape
as a result of this haste.

The matter of the wages dispute
will now he the subject of extensive
investigation upon the part of the
government and it is likely that a
scale will be prepared for tho iron
workers which will be a si p in
advance of that which is now paid.
If the men are not granted th^
demand or close to the demand
which they made it is likely to lie
followed by an even more exten

the soaring costs of living in this
as well as in other coast cities.
