GERMAN EFFORT EFATHERED UNION
 EWITH OLD SPAIN
Everything Possible Done to Get South America to Take Up Close Relations With European Nation

BUENOS AIRES, Oct 12, Gore
 spondence of the Associated Press.)- German efforts to encourage the much
 discussed Latin-American Union be.
 tween Spain and the Spanish speaking republics of Central and South Amer 1 ica as a weapon against Pan-Amer- ieanism came to light today in the German-inspired articles that appear
 ed in connection with the observance of The Day of the Race" as the
 Spanish speaking people designate
 the anniversary of the discovery of
 the Americas.
 The Argentine newspapers and
 weekly magazines carried special arti-
 cles pointing out the advantage of a
 union that would make the Spanish
 speaking nations independent of all others. Several of these were signed
 by men who are known for their pro- German sympathies. It was also no- ticeable that the articles appearing in the purely German newspapers were even more insistent in support ing such a union than the Argentine papers.
 This union with Spain was proposed first from Spanish sources nearly two years ago and it was suspected then, from its antipathy to Pan-Amerlcan- ism, that German schemes were be- hind the move. The proposal has been kept alive in this country ever since by pro-Germans and Spaniards who have made no attempt to hide the fact that their efforts are directed against the United States.
 The principal argument is that South America must be protected from American Imperialism" Spain is pointed to as the great mother coun- try that can supply all the needs and at the same time the sympathetic understanding that comes from a com mon language and common religion. The Spanish clergy is aiding the propagandists in their campaign.
 One of the articles published today stated that the war had brought about l new forms of international friendship that this friendship in the future will be based on mutual gain and advany- ages. Questions of languages, races. | and religion, it adds, may SOW the seeds of new differences tomorrow and it therefore behooves the 20 | Spanish speaking American nations to unite for their common advantage. | The argument closes with the state ment that the league of nations is i hopeless dream.
 Another paper urges that this Latin | American union should not be merely i an economic union but one for com mon defense and offense.
 Tn time of peace" it argues, we | must prepare for war. The passive | defense of the frontiers of Spain and | the South American republics is nov | enough against the powerful nations, against those which rule, the seas, but a close defensive union of Spain and the South American re- publics would be sufficient against | any aggression.
 We should adopt an active offen- sive attitude rather than passive de- Iensive one
 "The united navies of Spain and South America could present an effec- i've resistance to any aggression and would put an end to the imperialism )f the larger nations so far as their ambitions in South America are con ,erned |"

TO POOL BIG GAMES
Western League Clubs Will Split Open
and Holiday Receipts.

Des Moines. Iowa. March 6.-All
receipts on opening day and holiday
dates in the Western league this year
will be pooled and evenly divided
among the eight clubs as the result of
an agreement made by the magnates
in their final session.
The schedule, which calls for 140
games, will be made public March II.
The opening date is May /. with the
close September 5, unless the revision
committee, composed of Jack Holland
and John Savage, find a few more
games necessary to conclude the sea-
son.
The meeting was one of the most
harmonious ever held by the Western
leaguers. and President Dickerson was
elected for another GEAR.
The league will cut off about 1900
miles in its travelling this year, the
total mileage being about $500. With
this saving in railroad fares and the
pooling of holiday receipts, the mag
mates figure the league will be able to
pull thru the season without hitch.

AFTER SEARS-ROEBUCk
Charge Unfair Practicc-SelI Sugar
at a Loss, But

Washington, March 6.-Complaint
was issued today against Sears-Roe-
buck & Co., of Chicago, by the fed
eraI trade commission charging unfair
methods of competition in the conduct
of it's business.
The complaint summons the firm to
answer a charge that it has advertised
sugar for sale at to 4 cents a pound,
actually at loss but only upon con-
dition that certain amounts of other
groceries be purchased for which a
sufficient price is charged to make a
profit on the combined sale.
The complaint further charges that
Sears-Roebuck & Co, with the pur-
pose of injuring competitors has cir
culated catalogues representing the
quality of merchandise sold by its COM
epetitors as inferior.
The complaint charged that the low
price on sugar was made to lessen
competition and create monopoly. A
hea ring has been set for April II.
Complaint "Only" Months Late.
Chicago, March 6.-Officials of
Sears Roebuck & CO., said today
that the sale of sugar on the selling
plan complained of by the Federal
trade commission was discontinued
last June when a shortage of sugar
became apparent.
I'VE co-operated with the federal
food administration at that time and
stopped the plan of SALE said J. R
Scott, of the wholesale grocery de-
pa rtment 1--WE are at loss to under
stand why a complaint should be
made at this time

Salts In Hot Water
Clears Pimply Skin
Says we must make kidneys
clean the blood, and pIm.
pies disappear.

Pimples. sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impuri-
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine, bu.
in many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid of these impur-
tiles which often break out all over
the skin in the form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted author
ity, is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot
water each morning before breakfast
for one week This will prevent the
formation of toxins in the bowels. II
also stimulates the kidneys to normal
activity, thus coaxing them to filter
the blood of impurities and clearing
the skin of pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with ithia.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent
drink which usually makes pimp1es
disappear; cleanses the blood and is
excellent for the kidneys as we'll

With the American Army in France,
March (Monday).-The effective
ness Of the American artillery was
thrillingly and impressively demon
strated early today in the biggest can

The boche guns were smothered by
the American fire. Starting at 1 a. m.
all the American guns massed on this
sector opened with a terrific blast.
Upwards of three thousand shells were
hurled into the German defenSeS
within the first hour.
During the height of the lombard
ment enemy batteries located in a
wood were peppered with gas shells
and high explosives, while 75'S poured
rain of metal over the trenches and
support lines. 1t was fifteen minutes
after the opening, salvo before the
Germans made a single reply. 1t was
mans located some American batteries.
Firing Picturesque.
The roll and rumble and thunder of
the American guns was continuous
from inky blackness. the night sky
suddenly was illuminated with bright
est red; then was shot with wave-Hke
flashes of lightning, which the big
guns pierced with bursts of flame.
Rockets could be observed shooting
up from the enemy trenches as the
Germans frenZiedly signalled their ar
tillery.
The pounding of the American guns
died down during a heavy snowfall.
When this let up slightly, 'the ar
tillery started again, and the bonn
bardment continued thru the day.

BILLIARD AS AN INTERPRETER
Former Mayor Aided French Woman
in Getting Information Here

The city hall force developed a new
capacity for service today in helping
to certify the location of the long-lost
kin in a French family. A French
woman who bears the imposing name
of Virginie Elisa Josephine Chabrier
Vigneron, sought the mayors office
this morning. after having applied to
the board of health and a number of
other public offices of the city, to get
assistance in establishing her identity
as a member of a family in France
the father of which is obliged by
some pension or inheritance arrange
ment, to locate all his children.
The city hall people were unable to
do anything more than take an ac-
acknowledgement of her own oath of
identity and acknowledge the record
she brought. J. B. Billiard. former
mayor of Topeka. who happened to be
in the office on business, gave his as
sistance in solving the woman's per-
plexity by getting her story in French
and acting as interpreter.
The French system of keeping
family records, by the way, is a
thoro-going process. The woman
showed to the city clerk a little book
which gave a record of her marriage
in France. of the birth of two chill
dren. followed by a record of her hus-
bands death, then by the item of her
another child. After the woman came
to this country. one of the children
died in France. The book was returned
to the town where the death occurred
and the mayor of that town had Of
ficially stamped in the death record,
and returned it to the owner in
America.

PUSH ROAD WORK
War Will Not Hold Up FOrt-tO-
Fort Highway.
That Is Prediction Made by
State Commission Today.
Materials hRE hecIIREn
MATERIALS ARE ASSURED
Government Promises Prefer
entail Shipments for Work.
Road Will Run From Topeka
Thru Lawrence to X. c.

War activities will not hold up the
fort-to-for. road in Kansas this year,
according to predictions today by
members of the state highway COM
mission in session in Topeka State
commission members are certain
large strip of the Fort Riley to Fort
Leavenworth road-thru Topeka and
Lawrence to Kansas City-will be
built this summer. Assurances have
been given by the government that
preferential shipments will be ordered
for all materials.
Just the extent of permanent highway
building in Kansas will depend largely
on war conditions, state commission
members feel. The the fort-to-fort
road is regarded as certain. In fact,
it is expected to take preference over
a number of important highways in
the country and construction work
may be rushed. Several of the coun-
ties have completed their plans for
construction and work is expected to
begin at an early date.
Conference With Governor.
Members of the commission were in
conference today with Governor Cap
per. A delegation from Geary county
also came to Topeka and spent half
hour with the governor and state
commissioners. They discussed plans
for road construction. No one is GER
tain as to the extent of road building
to be encouraged by the government
this year. Indications have been
made to the state commission, how
ever, that the government would en-
courage early construction of the fort
to-fort road and that this highway
would receive federal aid. In fact,
| government aid has been assured in
the counties affected by the new road.
Under the construction plan as now
| outlined, the road will extend thru
| Geary, Riley, Wabaunsee, Potta-
watomie. Shawnee. Douglas. Leaven-
worth and Wyandotte counties. Sew
| era1 of the counties have indicated
that they will be ready to start work
at an early date.
| Markham Is Optimistic.
II believe this year will see the
road" said w. c. Markham, secretary
of the state highway commission.
While Markham does not forecast the
completion of the road this year, he
anticipates completion of large
amount of the road and the probable
! opening of the fort to fort highway
in 1919. Several of the counties plan
| to use brick construction, while others
will build concrete highway. A per
manent road of materials approved
by the government, will be built over
every mile of the distance between
Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth
The fact that the government ha:
promised preferential movement OF
materials indicates to state officials q
desire by federal departments to com.
pfete construction of the road as soor
as possible. While work on perma
nent highways will begin in a mum
Der of counties this year. according tt
present plans, the fort to fort road
now seems to have the right of way
and is due for early activities.
