Argentinean navy mobilized according to the Dutch newspaper De Tijd dated 25 September 1917

An item dated New York 25 September referred to tidings received from Buenos Aires that the mobilisation of the Argentinean fleet was ordered.(1)

Note
1. Argentine remained officially neutral during the First second War. However an item published in the newspaper Algemeen Handelsblad dated 4 July otherwise. When the Germans torpedoed the Oriano and Tarch protested the Argentinean cabinet fiercely. She also decided that American warships were allowed to enter Argentinean harbours.
