HUN PROPAGANDA
 STIRS STRIFE IN SOUTH AMERICA

Buenos Aires, Dec. 1s-German efforts to encourage the much-dis- cussed Latin-American Union be- tween Spain and the Spanish speak ing republics of Central and South America as a weapon against Pan Americanism came to light today in the German-inspired articles that ap- peared in connection with the observ- ance of 'fThe 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 ar ticles 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 mo- ticeable that the articles appearing in the purely German newspapers were given even more insistent in support ing such a union than the Argentine papers.
 
 ed first from Spanish sources nearly two years ago and 1t was suspected then, from its antipathy to Pan-Amer- icanism, that German schemes were behind 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 direct ed against the United States. The principle argument is tha South America must be protected from American Imperialism" Spair i is pointed to as the great mother 1 country that can supply all the needs and at the same time the sympathetic understanding that comes from 2 common language and common reli zion. The Spanish clergy is aiding 1 the propagandists in their campaign. i One of the articles published today stated that the war had brought abou new forms of international friendship and that this friendship in the future will be based on mutual gain and ad vantages. Questions of language race, and religion, it adds, may SOW the seeds of new differences tomor i twenty Spanish speaking American nations, to unite for their common advantage. The argument close with the statement that the Leagu of Nations is a hopeless dream.
 Another paper urges that this Latil American Union should not be merel. an economic union but one for com mon defense and offense.
 "In time of peace" it argues "w must prepare for war. This passiv' defense of the frontiers of Spain ant the South American republics is no enough against the powerful nations especially against those which rul the seas, but a close defensive uniol of Spain and the South American re publics would be sufficient against an aggression.
 We should adopt an active often sive attitude rather than a passive de fensive one.
 '"The united navies of Spain an South America could present an eff fective resistance to any aggression and would put an end to the imperi alism of the larger nations so far a their ambitions in South America ar concerned"

 PAPERS AFFAIRS

Muskegon, Mich. Dec. 19.-The mat rimonial experiences of Milo H. Pi- per, local insurance man, accused of having murdered Miss Frieda Weich- man, Chicago bookkeeper. after an automobile trip lasting several months, in 1916, were being further investigated by the police here today.
 Interest in the accused mans past life was stimulated late yesterday when it was established by statements from him and his present wife, ac- cording to Sheriff Carl Stauffer, that in 1903 he was married at Benton Harbor to Miss Iva Goodenough. a 15- year-old school girl. After a divorce two years later, the girl, using the name of Marian Grey" conducted a matrimonial agency at Chicago. Court records there are said to show that she was convicted in 1908 of using the mails to 6efraud, being sent to the Federal Prison at Atlanta. and later i pardoned.
 Letters whcih Piper wrote to his present wife during the automobile trip which he admits making with Miss Weichman were being sought by the police today. These letters, Mrs Piper told the authorities, disappear ed from her trunk after she found her little son playing with them. | Beyond reiterating his statement that he knows nothing of Miss Weich- mans death and that his name was used by one John Sheldon" in mar rying the sgirl at Rennselaer, Indiana in 1916. Piper has refused to dis cuss further the murder charge against him.
 Sheriff S$auffer has admitted that the case developed by the authorities against Piper is thus far purely cir cumstantia1. Piper's identification as he man who was married to Mis-. weichman, he added, has not beer Illegally established.

 SEVERE CHILL
Return of Old Ear Trouble Necessitates Calling
 Specialist.

Amerongen, Holland, Wednesday, Dec. 18-(By the Associated Press)- Former Emperor William has been confined to his bed since Sunday with a severe chill. His indisposition has brought about a renewal of his old ear trouble, necessitating the calling in of a specialist, a professor from Utrecht, to assist the local doctor.
 The constant worry of the last five weeks and his virtual Imprisonment In Count Bentinck's castle here nave changed William Hohenzollern's ap- pearance considerably. Instead of the ruddy complexion he wore, his face has become ashen, his hair and mous- tache gray, and his features deeply lined. Since he has lain abed with his illness his face has remained un- shaven, and the seventy-two hours growth of beard seems to have added ten years to his age.
 The ex-emperor's favorite adjutant Captain Sigurd Won Ilsemann, also is i'll, and the former empress has be- come her husbands almost sole at- tendant.

TO TAX CHILD
 LABOR PRODUCTS

Washington, Dec. 19-The Senate today in it's discussion of the war revenue bill took up the amendment which would repeal next July the ex- isting zone system of second class postage rates and Substitute modi- fled zone system. Though several senators were prepared to speak against the modified plan, it was not expected that there would be any ex- tended debate in view of the general desire to take a final vote on the measure by next Monday, if possible, in order to lengthen the Christmas recess.
 Profits from child labor products entering interstate commerce would be taxed tel per cent under the bill, the senate having voted late yestrday in favor of such a tax. The amend ment carrying the tax is designed to replace partly the child labor law re- gently declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
