ARGENTINE MAY BREAK ..RELATIONS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. Argentina Is expected to define her position in the world war within the next few days. Official reports to the government indicate this and make it appear that the Argentine foreign office will no longer delay a statement of the controversy with Germany over the sinking of Argentine vessels. A short time before the American fleet visited Argentine waters it was announced at Buenos Aires that Germany had asked that no drastic move be made by Argentine until she had received the German reply. , Argentina had intimated that unless prompt reparation were made, diplomatic relations with Germany would be broken. It is believed that the German answer is of such character that the Argentine government may feel warranted in further discussion of the subject, . The attitude of Mexico is no longer one of great concern to the American government. There has been no report to the state department indicating that the Carranza government is seriously considering the abandonment of its announced neutrality and official reiteration was made today that no overtures for any alteration would be made. .

Hendersons Pacifist Activity Vexes British War Cabinet
LONDON, Aug. 1. The fact that a member of the cabinet, Arthur Henderson, minister without portfolio in the war council, had gone on a mission to Paris with the Pacifist Ramsey MacDonald, member of parliament; George James Wardle, chairman of the labor party in the house of commons, and Russian delegates, aroused great Irritation among the members of parliament and seems to threaten trouble in the government. The purpose of the journey is to confer with French socialists in regard to the proposed conference of allies socialists at London and the subsequent international conference at Stockholm. The crux of the matter lies In the fact that Mr. Henderson since he returned from Petrograd reversed his attitude on the question of the British labor party and socialists meeting the German representatives at Stockholm end now advises them to rescind the former resolution against joining the conference with enemy delegates. Result of His Visit. Mr. Henderson has not publicly explained his change of views, but it is Uncle Sam Reed's CZ

It is stated that the heads of the labor party officially accepted his advice which nevertheless seemed to have caused a crisis in the party which is nowise unanimous in its support of Mr. Henderson. The government has been closely questioned in the house of commons in the last few days on the subject of Mr. Henderson's mission- to Paris and the admission of Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, that it was settled without the government's knowledge and that the government as ignorant of what he was doing in Paris has increased the general irritation. War Cabinet Embarrassed. Lobby correspondents say that the war cabinet, of which Mr. Henderson i3 still presumably a member, although his place was taken by George N. Barnes, while he was in Russia, is gravely embarrassed by the turn events have taken. '- Mr. Henderson's fellow members of the labor party in the ministry, who sre as ignorant as the members of the war cabinet of Mr. Henderson's move, met in the house of commons last evening to discuss the extraordinary situation, but decided to await his return before acting. According to the lobby correspondents, however, it was at the same time resolved not to support Mr. Henderson. The affair has aroused considerable feeling, largely because of the association of a member of the inner cabinet with Mr. MacDonald and was to be raised in the house of commons today as a matter of urgency.
