If Dad" insists that he don't

German Ship
 Operating in Waters
 of South America

Buenos Aires, December 27.-Brazil- ian papers, received here today are filled with accounts of the movements of German vessel off the Brazilian coast few weeks ago. The newspapers assert that the mysterious vessel was identified as a German and that 1t unloaded an immense cargo of heavy cases at Cerquera and Armacao.
 Several days later the steamer re- turned to Armacao with additional cargo, which the newspaper accounts say it is ~e1ieved she received from a larger ship out of sight of land. From Armacao the vessel proceeded to Ca- louro, where another portion of the cargo was unloaded.
 These ports are not guarded and it is asserted that the cargoes landed were mysterously smuggled away Later the German vessel was sighted close to shore at San Pedro De AIdera, where two persons now are under ar- rest as result of their relations with the crew. They were charged with be- ing spies.
 The newspapers say the steamer dis appeared as mysteriously as she came and Brazilians believe she brought supplies for submarine base.
