16 URUGUAY AND ARGENTINA TO DECLARE WAR South American Nations Ex- i pocted to Join Allies Against Germany By Associated Press London, April 23.—Uruguay and, Argentine are expected to declare; war against Germany at an early! date, according to Berlin advices for- j warded by the Exchange Telegraph correspondent at Amsterdam. Tlie i German newspapers have been noti-l tied to prepare the public for this de- j velopment, he adds. Uruguay's relations with Germany j are known to have been tense for j some time. On Apijil 12. a Monte-1 video dispatch stated that Uruguayan mission to France had been captured . by a German submarine. Uruguay, f the dispatch stated, had asked Rer-I tin, through Switzerland, if Germany! considered that a state of war exist-! Ed with 'he Uruguayan republic "asj suited by the commander of a sub-j marine who captured a Uruguayan military mission bound for France." if the reply was in the affirmative, it was announced Uruguay would de-. flare a state of war. Ureal; Since October Uruguay definitely broke diplomat-] ic relations with Germany by act of j Congress 9>r. October last, following i the crisis over the relations between Argentina and Germany brought! about by the Luxburg incident. Pass ports were handed to the German | minister and the neutrality rule was j waved as to the entente allies. The* attitude of Uruguay towards the United States as a belligerent had j previously been markedly sympa-| thetic. Argentina has been apparently on itae vergo of a break in relations with Germany over the submarine situa tion several times since the publica tion last summer of the documents in which Count Von Luxburg. Ger man diplomatic representative at Buenos Aires, advised the Berlin for eign office, among other things, that a. certain Argentine merchant vessel should be "sunk without trace." There has as a matter of fact, been little diplomatic communication be tween Buenos Aires and Berlin in this period as Count Von Luxburg was handed his passports and only remained in Argentina because his health was represented to be such as to require him to be treated in a sanatorium. Relations Grow Tense Dispatches from Buenos Aires in February indicated a growing tense-1 ness in relations and a growing > anti-German sentiment. Since then,| demonstrations have been held in the. Argentinian capital in celebration of the entry of the United States into j the war and the Uruguayan authori ties have made it known that Argen tina has agreed to place the Argen tina armed forces at Uruguay's dis posal if Uruguay's northern provin ces were threatened by a German up rising in Southern Brazil.

HiRRISBURG TELEGRAPH STEELTON NEWS ITEMS WORKERS PUNISH BOND 'SLACKER' Appeals of Officials Save Aus trian From Bough Treatment Displaying their determination to rid the local steel plant of all un patriotic foreigners, employes of the machine shop department yesterday, bound, Kaspar Hartick ,an Austrian,, with a rope an dprepared to throw him in the old Pennsylvania canal because he refused point blank to subscribe to a Liberty Bond. The men were persuaded to free the man by officials of the plant after they had carried out part of their plans in punishing the disloyal worker. Although the foreigner was not thrown into the canal he was badly treated and received lacera tions and bruises of the face and body, it is said. Officials of the local steel plant said this morning that Hartrick had been discharged after the incident. The police department made an in vestigation and found that some of the reports of the incident were greatly exaggerated, officials said. How long Hartick worked at the I plant and whether or not ho was naturalized they were unable to say. Committeeman Tells Story A steehvorker told the following story to-day: "I went to Hartick on Saturday and asked him to buy a boiW. He said he did not want to buy any. I told him to think over it until Monday, that during the time he may change his mind. "Yesterday I went to him and asked him if he had decided about the bond. He said he did and that he did not want to buy any. Not being able to do much with him I went to a fellow worker and sent him to see Hartick. He is said to have declared at this time "Damn the Liberty Loan." "The incident gained wide circu lation and workers at once decided to impress'upon Hartick's mind what they thought of such actions. The foreigner was bound tand taken down through the shop. As the steel workers and Hartick made their way through the shop the crowd ac cumulated and by the time they reached the door the gang was com posed of about 150 workmen. At this point the bosses persuaded the men to release Hartick and he was taken to the office and after ward escorted from the plant by the police. It is repotned that when the men were taking Hartick down through the plant he would try to hold them back by holding fast to car wheels and other obstructions. He would release his grasp when struck on the arms by workmen, it is said. After Hartick saw the workmen meant to punish him for his lean ings. it is understood, he said he would subscribe but then the work men told him it was too late.

Steel company officials this morn ing reported that $55,800 had been subscribed by plant employes yester day, while bank officials were unable to give out any information in re gards to the campaign in the district.

Beginning to-morrow results of the campaign each day will be posted on a downtown store window and in the various departments of the local plant.

"This is no time to attempt to di vert. the public mind to politics," Mr. Guffey said iast night. "The first duty of every man and woman is to do all within his or her power to win the war and the important thing to do just now is to aid to our utmost the sale of liberty Bonds. This duty overshadows all else and no man is wholly patriotic, if he does not make other things secondary to success of the loan. There will be plenty time after May 4, the date the loan cam paign is to close, to interest the people in the state political cam paign and, as a candidate for the nomination for Governor, T will do nothing until after that date that might turn the public mind from the important duty of each one giving his best for the success of this loan. During the loan campaign all of my time will be devoted to its success, t propose to forget politics for the time and put all thought and energy into the sale of Liberty Bonds. The public should resent the attempt on the part of any man or organization to bring politics to the front during the Liberty Loan campaign.
