ARGENTINA MAY BE TO Argentine President and His Cabinet Allow Germany To Dictate Policies in Defiance of People's Wishes By GFXTRGK H. MANJflNO Washington. D. C. Pee. 27. There is abundant evidence abroad in Wash ington that very shortly the United States will call upon the Argentine Kepuolic to explain a number ol o.,i- clal acts of the South American nation which have been pro-German and anti-American. I President Irogoyen and the Argen tine cabinet have ab completely per mitted the German agents to dictate the policies of Argentine that the United States has reached the point where a show-down will be demand ed, and Argentina will be asked whether she may be considered on the side of the United State or Ger many in this war. President Wilson has ' maintained the "watchful waiting" policy towards Argentina while that country harbor ed German agents and sought to have other South American countries change from their stand alongside the allies to one of neutrality until tol erance and patience have ceased to be virtues. The Argentine people who are pat riotic and liberty-loving strongly favor the causa of the allies and are bitter ly opposed to Germany. But their sentiments and wishes to align them selves strongly with the United States are set at nought by President Irogo yen and his cabinet who appear to be entirely under control of the German minister who has worked such mis chief in Argentina and other South American countries. The latest affront to the United States is the effort of the Argentine government to have representatives of the South American countries, sev eral of whom have broken off diplo matlc relations with Germany, meet in Argentine and form a League of Neutrality, This movement was inltl ated by Lois Cabrera, special diplo matic representative of Mexico to Washington, who left Washington In a "huff" a few days ago, without glv ing notice to the. state department and departed for Argentina. He went there to attend the League of Neu trality meeting and ostensibly to re port to the German agents. Other acts of Argentina which have been a source of constant irritation to the American government and be lieved to be work of German agents arc as follows: Count Luxburg Is belnf? harbored by the Argentine government in spite of the infamous recommendation he made to the German Foreign Office that "Argentine vessels be sunk with out trace' President Irogoyen declined to pub Hsh a series of cable dispatches from Count Luxburg, attacking and Insult ing Brazil and asking that German ships be sent there to intimidate the Brazilians. President Wilson referred to these dispatches In his expose of the illuminating correspondence be tween Luxburg and his home office sent from Argentina and suggested that Argentina would make the cor respondence public, but this was nev er done. Official correspondence has been ex. changed between Argentina and Mexl. co having for Its purpose the shipment of corn and other foodstuffs from the United States to Mexico and Argentina to be sent ultimately to Germany. The United States has watched the work of the German agents in Argen tina and other South American ctun tries very carefully, and will not per mlt any of the Southern republics to get too firmly In the clutch or Uer many. It Is to be explained to the Smith American countries that Ger many has nothing but selfish interests to serve in the Western Hemisphere and that to preserve their liberty they should align themselves with the al lies. The Argentina people are clamoring for war against Germany, and there may bo quick developments in that i country that will throw out the pres ent rulers and the German agents and j set up a representative government which will take sides with the allies. CHILE HAD NO IDEA OP JOINING Santiago, Chile, Deo. 27. President Sanfuentes denied today that there was any foundation for the statemnt of Count von Luxburg, dismissed : minister to Argentina, In his dispatch ! es to Berlin that Chile was to be ' drawn into an alliance with Argentina and Bolivia for the purpose of form i Ing a South American political bloc opposed to the war policy of the United States.

A woman designated only as "11" and said to be prominent in the German secret serv ice, directed the activities of Franz Schulenborg, alleged master spy held here on a presidential warrant, ac cording to information divulged by federal officials. Schulenberg Is said to have been active in plnns to destroy bridges and public buildings in Can ada and shipping and warehouses In Pacific ports. Officials said the wo man barely escaped arrest here four weeks ago, the day before Schulenberg was captured. The clue to her part In Bchulenberrs operations was re vealed in a letter found among his ef fects. Investigation showed, officials said, that the woman had been an agent of Wolf von Igel, former sec retary to Franz von Papeh, military attache of the German embassy at Washington, and alleged head of the German espionage system In this country. She was described as I person of birth and education, a bru nctte, 35 years old. According to federal officials the woman sent Schulenberg to the United States in 1914 for the alleged purpose of assisting in the maintenance of contraband wireless stations support' ed by the German government for the purpose of gaining military informa tlon and transmitting it to Berlin. Further revelations concerning Schulenberg 8 activities disclosed to day showed that in February, 1915, he inserted an advertisement In Spokane Wash., newspapers looking to the pur chase of a tract of land on which to colonize several hundred Spanish fam illes. These families, federal olllcials said, were Hindus and the purpose of their colonization was to permit them easy entrance into Canada where they were to obtain military Information and facts concerning the movement of Canadian vessels; to assist In raider warfare conducted In the Pacific ocean by, the Germans. The colonization plan did not materialize. Some of Schulenberg's activities, ac cording to the authorities, have been traced to Ram Chandra, a Hindu on trial here with 30 other persons. charged with attempting to foment a revolt against British rule in India. Ram Chandra made several payments or money to Schulenberg, officials said. Schulenberg, according to federal officials, was a deserter from the Ger man army and was actuated only bv the hope of financial gain. They said he would not admit his connection with the woman agent. AT THE PICTURE SMS At tho Strand.
