The Wars End Holiday,


the House to make November IL, the
day the armistice was signedy ma
tional holiday. Action should be with
held on this matter, for it is doubtful
whether November II is the most ap-
propriate date for the commemoration
of the end of the war. The war is not
yet over, although hostilities have
ceased for the present. The last shot
may have been fred in formal war
fare, but rs long as the enemy stands
in organized ranks pending peace ne
gotiations, as long as chaotic .condi-
tions prevail in Germany and in other
lands, peace has not been restored and
the war is not finished. The day the
peace treaty is signed, definitely mark
ing the end Of the worlds agony, will
be the appropriate time for eommemo-
ration. IF We designate every one Of
the notable days of this conflict As a
national holiday there will be but few
working days left in the years calen-
dar. We might make the day we de-
clared q state Of war with Germany
such holiday quite suitably, or the
day our first troops landed in France,
or the day our forces gained their no.,
table victory at st Mihiel, which was
the beginning of the end, or the day
they reached Sedan. Best Of all will
be the day the treaty is signed, and
we can we'll afford to wait for that be-
fore deciding upon the true "victory
day."

The war conditions which forced
Latin American countries to rely
largely upon their own production for
their food requirements have turned
another profitable trade to the United
States. In Peru. for example. the
value of agricultural implements i'm

from $4s.243 in 1916 to S110,6O1 in
1917 and $175.116 in 1918 This does
not include the special machinery for
the sugar and cotton industries for
which there is growing demand.
There is also ready market for road
and irrigating machinery.
Chile also demands American ma
chinery for her industrial and agri-
cultural development. The export of
agricultural implements and sugar
mill machinery from the United States
to Chile in the last three years totaled
$627,602.

TAKEN BY PIPER
Officers to Seek Evidence al
Places Visited by Girl
With Man Accused
of Killing Her.

Muskegon, Mich, Dec. 20.-Using
as a guide, letters written en- route
by Frieda Weichman to her aunt
in Hinsdale, Ill.,, two officers left
here today to follow the trail of the
automobile trip Milo H. Piper,
charged with having murdered the
girl, admits they made in the SUM-
mer of 1916.
Harris L. Galpin, who has been
acting as counsel for the accused
man. announced today that he had
withdrawn from the case.
The two officers are expected to
make their first stop at Rensselaer,,
Ind. where the records show Miss
Weichman and a man giving the
name OF NJ. H. Piper were married
in 1916. Piper, while admitting that
he and the girl made the automobile
trip, has repeatedly stated that an
other man using his name was the
bridegroom at Rensselaer,. A doz-
en- different stopping places are in
dicated in the girls Letter to her
aunt.
Piper, in his earlier talks with the
officers here, stated that two other
persons accompanied them on the
trip. One of the purposes of the
investigation along the route, &C
cording to Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney Jackson. is definitely to
establish this point.
Piper today was not permitted to
receive visitors in his cell, and
Sheriff Carl Stauffer announced
that members of his family will be
allowed to see him but once week.
Piper's hearing, originally set for
December 3, is expected to be post
pond until after the Christmas holi-
days, giving him opportunity to ar
range for new counsel.
