Missing for Several Days. ,
Inaulry of the police here showed
that Count von iAixbura- had been
missing for several days from the
house in the sutfurb of Lomas de Za-
mora, where he was supposed to have
been under strict surveillance. The
count, was permitted to live there be-
cause the German hospital authorities
had Informed the government that his
mental condition required quiet sur
roundlngs.
The former minister Is believed to
have decided to escape when he saw
the government was renewing its ef
forts to get him out of the country,
These efforts were Initiated two weeks
ago and had resulted In tho granting of
a snfe conduct for him to sail on a
Swedish vessel about to leave port.
Count von Luxburg's escape on tho
eve of his enforced departure strength
ens the long standing belief here that
ho xras mRking every effort to remain
In South America to direct the actlvl
ties of German agents who have been
fomenting labor troubles and harass

According to Buenos Aires dis
patches on Sunday, Count Von I.ux-
nurr had bean granted a safe conduct
by the Hritish government to sail for
Sweden and was expected to depart
shortly on the steamer Valparaiso.

party . entered the German trenches

morning after an artillery bombard

It was the first raid undertaken by the
Americana without the 'd Of the
French.
The raid was highly successful as
the enemy withdrew many men rrom
the front line when the bombardment
indicated that a raid might follow.
The raiders reported that American

Washington, March 12. President
Wileon today personally considered the
war department's new pisn of issuing
the names of American soldiers killed,
wounded or who die in Franoe, without
their home addresses or other marks
of identification.
There whs no outward Indication that
the, president would reverse the war
department's ruling, which, It has been
explained, was niado for military rea
sons, but It was pln4n . that protests
from every qunrter have grown to such
number that the president had decided

The Americans fought so fast and
did their work so quickly that the
medical men who accompnnled them
had little to do. Every American who
left tho front line returned.
On their way back the Americans
encountered a German listening post
which fired at them. In less time than
It takes to tell it, the Germans in the
post were silenced.
The Americans reached their own
lines without a German shell having
fallen anywhere near .hem, for It was
all over so quickly the German bat
lerles did not have a good chnnce to
get Into nctlon. The Americans were
inside the enemy lines for fifteen
minutes.
The party, consisting of
or . more of Chattanooga s most
prominent business men and manufac
turers, left Chattanooga shortly be
fore midnight last night, occupying two
Pullman cars attached to the Memphis
fSpecial.'
The trip was made without In
cident, except a good time for the ex
cursionists, but when the train arrived
In Sheffield the visitors found plenty to
interest them. First and foremost,
they were met by a delegation and from
the train the visitors were conducted
to the Sheffield hotel where an excel
lent breakfast had been prepared for
them. After breakfast the citizens of
Sheffield and Florence took the visl
tors in charge and carried them on a
tour of Inspection to plants one and
two under course of construction. sJte
turning to Florence at noon, the party
was entertained by the Florence chanA
ber of commerce.
This afternoon the party Is making
a boat trip through the government
locks to the site of dairt. No. 2, known
as Woodrow Wilson dam, nnd for
which the money was recently made
available. The party will return lute
this afternoon to Sheffield where the
members will be guesls nt supper.
This proved, an opportune time for
a visit to the site of this great en
terprise nnd every thing was found to
be on the rush. The old town of Shef

There are thousands of workmen
here and everybody seems busy as can
be. There is no lack of employment.
In fact workmen , are scarce for
the amount of work to be done. The
recent spring-like weather has given
an impetus to the work and the scene
around the various plant sites is- one
of hustle and bustle.
Lluet.-Col. Hugh L. Cooper, who has
been designated to superintend the
construction of Woodrow Wilson dam,
or dam No. 2, arrived on the scene
few days ago and is getting things In
shape for active work. . This aisun
guished engineer is the' man who built
the great Keokuk dam at Keokuk, la.
ifls arrival means work at once and is
regarded as an epoch in the construc
tion of the series of great enterprises
planned upon the development of
Muscle . Shoals.
CoL' Cooper is an engineer of inter
national fame and was recalled from
France by the war department to su
pervise this work. He Is recognized as
one of the greatest nyaro-eieciricai
! engineers of the day. He has been lden

Col. Cooper, in company with MaJ.
Winn. United States district engineer,
in charge of the Tennessee river, at
once made a preliminary survey of the
site for the new dam.
The work on the nitrate plants at
Muscle Shoals is being pushed with
much speed. It is said that there are
now employed on the cyanamid works
fully 7.000 men and this number is Do
ing increased as rapidly as workmen
become available. '
In addition to the plant itself a great
many houses are being built ror the
workmen; an electrical railway line Is
being built through the government
reservation to connect with the Trl-
interurban L.
City interurban Lne.
The steel work on the various plants
is being pushed rapidly and it is an
nounced that one of the units will be
rfady for operation within the next
three months.
ln connection with the establish
ment of this great enterprise at Muscle
Kliouls the chamber of commerce of
Florence is planning to celebrate the
city's centennial. The date has not
been definitely fixed, but It is expeciea
that It will be coincident wth the
completion of one of the units of the
great enterprise or the completion of
the 120,000,000 dam, which Col, Cooper
Is here to begin work upon.
