ARGENTINE WAITS ON WASHINGTON

BUENOS AIRES, Sept 11. News dispatches to the effect that passports jnay be handed to the German and Swedish dispilotlc representatives to Argentina are declared by the foreign minister to be premature, as the government is unable even to consider such a procedure until it receives official details respecting the Washington dispatches. The foreign minister announces that the steamers Oran and Guizo referred to in one of the messages sent by Count Luxburg through the Swedish

legation to the German foreign office,

arrived at French ports in June after Luxburg had sent his dispatches. An Argentine patriotic society has

issued a statement urging that Count Luxburg must not be given his passports, but there could for a criminal offense, of inciting the assassination of Argentine citizens. This action is impossible however, as diplomatic representatives are immune from court summonses. All documents relating to questions between Argentina related between Germany and Sweden, have been published, the foreign minister declared and that there is not now and -never has been a pact, written or verbal, with Germany, limiting in any way the freedom of Argentine shipping. "Further doubt concerning Argentina's faith and truthfulness after this declaration must be considered a national offense," the foreign minister declared. He added that the best proof of the inexactness of Count Luxburg's May 19th dispatch was that eight Argentine steamers cleared for the war zone during June.

The Crown Prince, heedless of losses, attempted to drive out the French from their newly conquered ground, but, Paris, reported yesterday, the enemy was repulsed with "extremely heavy" losses. The fighting centered around Fosses Wood (1) and Courieres Wood (2), where the infantry battled back and forth for hours, the French finally retaking all the two woods, which they had captured Saturday. The Germans left nearly a thousand dead before Fosses Wood alone.

Wheat in Palestine was sown either broadcast and then plowed In or trampled on by cattle (Isaiah, xxxil, 20), or in rows if Isaiah xxxvii, 25, is understood. This seems to imply that the seeds were "planted" apart in oroer to insure fuller and large ears.
