Buenos Ayres, Argentina, Nov. 13.
The Argentine government hag sent a
torpedo boat destroyer to the Island
of Martin Garcia to bring to this port
Count von Luxburg, the expelled Ger
man minister to Argentina, so that he
may embark on a Dutch steamship for
Amsterdam. The ex-minister will be
kept under strict surveillance by the
Buenos Ayres authorities until be
leaves the country.
Count Karl von Luxburg after being
handed hlB passports was taken to
the Martin Garcia detention camp on
October 12.
Stopped By British Warship.
Montevedo, Uruguay, Nov. 13. The
Dutch steamship on which Count von
Luxburg, the former German minister
to Argentina, has engaged passage
back to Europe, was stopped on her
voyage between Rio Janeiro and Mon
tevideo by a British warship, British
sailors went on board the vessel and
after examining the documents seized
some of them.
The Uruguayan government has for
bidden the passengers on the Dutch
vessel to debark at Montevedo.
Among those on board are the Cuban
minister to Argentina and the Cuban
minister to Uruguay. These diplomats
have protested againBt the govern
ment's action.
Washington, Nov. 13. The effect of
Germany's "political offensives"
against Russia and Italy Is comment
ed upon In Secretary Baker's mili
tary review bulletin IbupU today.
"The close Inter-relation of events
upon all fronts cannot too frequently
be emphasized," says the review.
"The political situation In Russia
made It possible for the enemy to de
tach important contingents In the east
which were speedily transported to
the Italian front.
"It is not unlikely that before lui
tiating their powerful drive against
the Italian forces the enemy made
pains-taking and systematic attempts
to undermine the morale of the Italian
troops with a view to breaking down
their resisting power.
"This carefully planned political of
fensive reveals clearly the present
methods of Germany.
Hun Efforts In East.
"Surveying the .broader aspects of
the European situation today we find
that the enemy in the eat is confin
ing his efforts to political propaganda.
Along the Italian sector he has re
cently made desperate efforts to se
cure a decision by meanB of a political
military drive, in the west, while at
tempting to sap the fighting strength
of the belligerent peoples, the enemy
now has been compelled to act on the
defensive and Is being slowly but
surely driven back. It should be
borne in mind, however, that the fur
ther disintegration of the Russian
forces will mean that the Germans
will be able to thin out their line
along this front which will thus auto
matically contribute to the stlilening
of their resistance in the west, as well
as render available added contingents

Buffalo, N. Y Nov. 13 The build
ing trades of the American Federa

shal General Crowder today appealed
to the country to assist all draft reg
istrants who find dlillculty in answer
ing the questions contained in the
questlonalre sent to them by the local

ganized to furnish free advice to reg
istrants and the provost marshal gen
eral suggests that local headquarters
be established so that registrants may
obtain the desired information and
that volunteers should seek out the
ignorant and urge upon them the ne
cessity of quickly and accurately com
pleting their work.
CALL OFF ALL STRIKES
AFFECTING U. S. PLANTS
Berlin, Nov. 13. Fontaao and Mont
Longara have been captured by the
Austro German troops Invading north
ern Italy, says the official statement
Issued by the German war office.
The text of the statement reads:
"Italian front: In the Setto Com
muni we wrested Mont Longara from
the Italians.
"Troops advancing in the mountains
between the Sugana and the Clsmon
valleys took by storm the Leone work
on the Casoni di Campo and the arm
ored fort on the Casoni de Leuia Kon
gaao whfch is in our possession,
"On the Lower Plave there has
been an Increase in the artillery Are."
Italian Hold Piave Line.
Itallnn Headquarters in North,
I Monday, Nov. 12. (By the Associated
m'ubh.) A heavy and continuous
bombardment is proceeding along
the Lower Piave river marking
the opening stages of extensive opera
tions on this new line. Whether n
general engagement is imminent do
ped largely upon the enemy, as the
Italians are now entrenched behind
the river and lighting defensive tac
tics with the stream and their rees
tablished forces chocking the further
extension of the Austro-German offen
sive. The engagements thus far have con
sisted of episodes at detached poInU,
altho the shelling extends almost un
interruptedly for forty miles along the
Lower Plave. The crash of some ene
my heavy guns la now hoard, showing
that the Austrians and Germans have
been able to bring up a few of these
monster pieces.
No longer Is a secret that the Plave
Is a line of defense to which the su
preme command has been bending its
energies steadily for the past ten
days. The upper end of this line joins
the Trentino front making virtually
one unified front sweeping in a huge
arc from Lake Oarda to the mouth of
the Piave near Venice.
Precautionary measures to protect
Venice continue lest the enemy whose
long range guns are not far off should
attempt to bombard the famous art
center. The palace of the Doges has
been covered with sandbags and the
delicate arched facade has been shor
ed with heavy timbers. The Campan
file has sandbags for forty feet around
the base. The Grand Canal Is tilled
with gondolas being used for trans
portation purposes.

Wilson Is expected to Issue a proclam
ation stMin requiring every alien with.
In the I'nlted Slates to register as a

move from one locality to another In
the United States without hindrance,
providing they do not enter the barred

Only Germans could be compelled
to register by presidential proclama
tion since Australns, Turka and Bui
garliuis are not classed as enemies un
der the espionage law. Congress
might extend the restrictions to those
nationalities, however,
