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.

The bond salesmen did sonic
j quick figuring.
"You will get SIBO, if lie goos
I 1,200 pounds."
"That's right," said the I'arm-
I or. "And if you see inc al'trr I
I see the butcher I will buy three

the second. Perry county, for exam
ple, has already sold mor? bonds this
loan than in the second: and Juniata
county is within $5,000 of the last

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.

Artillery fire in alt parts of the

tiring attack yesterday, with the re
sult that solicitors arc getting many
subscribers.
Keeping up the battle of Liberty

this borough poured more than $75,-
000 Into the coffers of the govern
ment, according to unofficial reports
this morning.

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.
The steel plant figures represent a

GUFFEY SAYS
LOAN IS FIRST
Candidate For Democratic
Nomination Quits Business
But Is Selling Bonds
Joseph F. Guffey, the acting Dem
ocratic state Chairman and candt- 1
date of the Democratic machine for |
Governor, yesterday resigned his I
business connections with Pittsburgh j
utilities, but declared that he would |
not engage in any campaign work
until the liberty Loan work was
finished. lie is one of the committee
in charge of the sale of Uncle Sam's
bonds in Pittsburgh and much inter
ested in the work.
"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. Every
candidate should eive all the time
and money possible toward making
the loan a succ^s."
