It occur to u to wonder how
Count Luxburg, the German charge
d 'affair at Buenoa A I ret, la going to
Ct back to Germany.
Luxburg haa to go, because he
called the Argentina secretary or
state an asa and auggeated that hia
government dispose of Argentine
shipping fey the culture rule of
, "apurlos rersenkt" leaving no
trace. But how can he go?
Argentine doesn't feel like lend
I tag him a warship. He will presum
' ably have to take passage on a liner
or freighter. The allies will honor
his passport and make no serious
trouble for him. In pursuance ot the
diplomatic courtesy which stl'I pre-
Talls outside of Germany. But that
doesn't guarantee him a safe pass
age.
He haa to ran the gauntlet of the
err U-boata which have been sink
tag Argentine merchantmen, and to
whose tender mercies he wished to
consign the rest of the Argentine
ahlpplng. Those U-boats sink every
thing at sight, without reading p&s-
aenger lists.
It must ba a cheerful thought to
Luxburg," aa ha fares homeward
dangling his diplomatic tin can be
hind him, that ha himself may be
"spurlos rersenkt. "

- It pays a community to have able
hard working representatives both
In state legislatures and federal con'
gress. And It pays the nation at
large to have that kind of men at
the helm.
A news Item brings Information
that the war department Is going to
train a considerably larger number
of men than was originally Intended,
at Camp Lewis, American Lake.
This decision Is not a little due td
the fact that this cantonment, the
' first to reach completion, has been
the lowest In cost of construction,
Antl Congressman 'Albert Johnson,
representing that district at Wash
ington, is the man who brought this
about
Before the project was started.
nls constituents subscribed $2,000,
000 to buy the land, which they have
presented to the government. Dur
ing the building Representative
Johnson has looked after details at
the headquarters In Washington,
and helped very materially In ex
pediting the shipment of materials
and labor. He claims that the men
who will be sent to American Lake
will find - themselves In the finest
climate In the country, and sur
rounded by loyal citizens anxious to
minister to their comforts.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Sept. 27.
Scandinavian coast fishermen are
faced with absolute ruin, on account
of the Impossibility of plying their
trade this year In the face of -mines
and U-boats. This Is the more to
be regretted as fish are more plenti
ful In the North Sea than ever be
fore in the history of the fishing in
dustry. Meanwhile the German trawlers,
under government protection, are
making great preparations for the
season. A large new fishing port at
the mouth of the Elbe Is In course
of construction.
