"July 3, 1917, No. 59. I learn,
from a reliable source that the Act

who is a notorious ass and unglo
phile, declared in a secret session,
of the senate that Argentine would
demand from Berlin a promise not
to sink more Argentine ships. If
not agreed to, relations would be
broken off, 1 recommend refusal
and, if necessary, calling in the
mediation of Spain. Luxburg."

showing any tendency to make con
cessions, postpone reply; to Argen

leaving any traces, or letting them

FELL ONE DAY
IN SEWARD
Newspapers which came from,
Seward on the Alameda last even
ing state that the recent flood and
storms in that city were the worst
known in it a history. The rainfall
for one day was 7.10 Inches causing
the glacier stream to flood doi.ig
damage to the amount of about
¥100,000. The Seward Light &
Power company's plant was buried
under five feet Qf mud and water.
The office of the i Seward Gateway
was flooded with throe inches of
water and the paper was issued
while the office force worked iu
rubber boots. Many of Seward's
beautiful homes yere totally de
stroyed, and the former school
house, near the glacier stream,
was washed down towards the bay
for a distance of a quarter of a
mile. The stream turned its course
and went pell-mell down the main
street of the city. It was only
after much blasting and work by
every man in the city for a period
of 12 hours that thq water was put
under control and forced to remain
in its old bod.
