The Argentine foreign minister at midnight made public the following announcement: Treachery Proven "The government has proved the texts of the Luxburg telegrajns and in consequence has sent the following to Berlin: '• 'Argentine government has recog nized and valued highly the exalted manner in which the government of Germany has solved in ample terms til Argentine claims, but must inform the German government that because of the texts of Minister Luxburg's telegrams, which have been published, he has ceased to be persona grata, and in consequence this government has delivered him his passports.' " Teutons Cry That Exposure of Their Treachery by Uncle Sam Is Unfair By Associated Press s Amsterdam, Sept. 13.—The Cologne Volks Zeitung a copy of which has been received here in an article under the caption "More American Prying Into Official Documents," says: "The State Department has again ' published documents of which It ob tained possession by God knows what underground methods." After a description of the contents of these documents, the article pro ceeds: "Such matters are. of course, not for publication, and when published at all easily may hurt susceptibilities by some turn or twist, like private conversation, which although not ill meant, they may work like poison when reported by the tattling of third parties. Such a poisoning process was of course the object of Washington, for here was an opportunity to fish In troubled waters where previously political machinations had met with scant success."

COAL MEN GOUGING Federal Commission Shows Dealers There Making 58 Cents to $1.23 Per Ton | Some Interesting sidelights have been thrown on the coal situation in/ Philadelphia by a report of the Fed eral Trade Commission. Recently Philadelphia dealers declared that "they wished they were making fifty cents a ton profit." This week Phila delphia prices were Jumped, and an appeal was made to Dr. H. A. Gar j field, national coal controller. The report of the commission followed. According to the report of the com mission, Philadelphia dealers have been realizing a profit of from fifty eight cents to $1.23 a ton, since last April, despite the claims of the deal ers that their profits have never reached fifty cents. The report does not cover pea coal, on which the largest advance was made. Philadel phia dealers claim their cost of haul ing averages $1.24 a ton. The statement of the Federal Trade Commission is considered significant in that it takes Into account the pos sibility of a shortage In the supply of coal from the railroad-controlled mines. Dealers explained the in crease in price by saying that they were required to buy largely from the independent operators, who are permitted to charge an excess of sev enty-five cents a ton over the price of the large operators. Shortage of sup ply was given as another reason. The commission experts claim that the city received more coal during April and May of 1917 than was received during the corresponding months, the year previous. Philadelphia's newly announced prices are somewhat higher than Har risburg prices, the difference ranging from sixty cents to sl.lO a ton. Com missioner Garfield has advised resi dents of the Quaker City to hold off buying until later In the year. He promises that the people will get coal and intimates that it will be cheaper coal..
