Buenos Aires, Oct. 11. There is
much concern -among the people of
Argentina over German intrigues to
bring about conflicts between Bra
zil, Argentina and Uruguay.
German newspapers at Buenos
Aires comment on a book recently

German money.
The Argentina minister of finance
declares in a public article today
that a von Luxburg dispatch, whicu
has not yet been made public, con
cerns the neutrality of Argentina.
He says that the neutrality pa
rade next Friday is ill timed, as it
would stamp Argentina as pro-German,
while the other countries have
severed relations with Germany.

PHILAELPIHA MAYOR
IS HELD INJ 10,000
By th Associated Press.
(Philadelphia, Oct. ll.-The first
stage of the first ward political mur
der trial ended today when Mayoi
Smith of this city was held by Judge
Brown in municipal court in $10,000
bail foe the grend jury. Three other
principals alsio were held in $10,
000 bail. Three policemen wert
held in $5,000 bail each.
The ward committees appointed
by the chairman of the Liberty Loan
committee of this district are now
hard at work, and a house-to-house
campaign will be waged, so that no
one may be overlooked. The work
will have to be completed by October
27, and every person is urged to act
at once, so that Hickory's quota will
be forthcoming on time.
The banks will carry the bonds
for you on a payment of five per
cent. In other words, you can show
your patriotism by subscribing for
a $100 bond with a $5. cash payment.
The bond will be yours, but will be
held by the bank as collateral secu
rity for the balance. If you pre
fer, you can pay two per cent with
the application, 18 per cent on No
vember . 15, 40 per cent on Decem
ber 15, and the final payment of 40
per cent, with accrued interest on
January 15, 1918.
The followl? letter received by
Chairman Joy shows how the govern
ment is making every provision
possible to make this bond issue at
tractive to all classes of people:
"Your attention is called to the
fact that postmasters are authorized
to cash interest coupons on United
States government bonds. This
statement will appeal particularly to
those who are unfamiliar with bonds
and the method of collecting inter
est." .

Extremely bad weather on the
Flanders front is limiting the activ
ity of the belligerents. Notwith
standing the difficulties of the
weather, which turned the battle
field into a great muddy stretch, the
British and French are maintaining
their gains.
At only one point has their hold
slipped at all and that was at a par
ticularly low place near Poelcappel
le and there the Germans were able
to occupy only a small section.
iWhile Hhe allies are in prepara
tion for the new drive, German at
tacks are being held off by entente
guns. Last night the French had
one of these attacks to deal with. It
was put down by the artillery.
Some attention is being attractea
by the persistence of the German ef
forts to regain ground on the French
front in the Verdun region. In
this connection it is noted that one
of the German artillery officers spoke
of the peril on the Verdun front if
the German lines in Flanders are
forced back.
The French are very near Get.
man territory northeast of Verdun
and a forced weakening of the Ger
man lines there might enable them
to endanger German territory.
The German effort to push back
the French here or possibly to re
gain the initiative in the region may
possibly be traced to anxiety in this
respect on the part of the high Ger
man command. Small sHiccessi,
however, is attending these efforts
of the crown prince. ,He tried again
near hill 344, but General Petain's
forces held their ground, driving
the Germans out of - such fronliA
as they held temporarily.
The reported allied attack south of
Doiran probably was not in force.
The official statement from Berlin
on Whdnesday said that on Wed
nesday the Bulgarians repulsed
several entente raiding parties.
