 ASKED TO JOIN U. s
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-All South American countries have been asked by the United States to join in it's sugges ton to Chile and Peru, that the inter ests of pan American unity demand an amicable settlement of their cOntro- versy over the provinces of Tacna and Africa. Acting Secretary Polk of the state department announced this today explaining that it had been erroneouSly reported that Argentina alone had been approached on the subject.
 Secretary Polk made it clear that the American government was not offering it's good offices to compose the trouble between the two South American re- publics but at the same time let it be knwn that if such good offices were re- quested they would be extended promptly This information was con- veyed to all the South American repub- lies, with the suggestion that each make similar representations to both Chile and Peru.
 The American government was rep resented as being particularly desirous that conditions in the western hemis- phere be settled during the meeting of the peace conference at Paris. The Tacna and Africa dispute. it was said, is the only serious disagreement non existing in the western world

DANCE |S ENJOYED
 AT TER LUNG FLU. BAN

The opening dance at the Arcadia last Tuesday night was a big success. Several hundred couples enjoyed the superb maple floor of the mall and excellent music of Bese's popular or chestra. Everybody semed to have a good time, and it was evident that the dancers enjoyed their amusement after the long fast due to the influenza ban.
 Tonight another dance will take place at the Arcadia. Special dance music is to be offered by the regular orchestra. Thef loor is especially at tractive todancers because it is easy to dance on, owing to the rubber cush ions which make it very springy.
 Provisions have been made to thor oughly ventilate the hall and at the same time keep it sufficiently warm. The music is furnished by Besse's five piece orchestra. The hall is one of the largest in Arizona and exceedingly attractive throughout Dances are to be given on Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturdays
