U. s. and South America to Work
 in Radical Fight

Buenos-Aires, Dec. 15.-In order to prevent the movement of an- archists and other dangerous agi- tators between North and South America and to suppress "red"' propaganda, the United States government has suggested to the governments of Argentina and Uruguay mutual police co-opera- tion, it was learned here today.
 It is known that during the last few months large numbers of European radicals mostly Spani- ards and Turks, but including some Russians, have made their way to the United States by way of NSouth America east coast countries. At the same time some agitators came to South America frcm the United States. Travelling most frequently as members of the crews of ships and not requir- ing passports, they easily escap- ed Identification
 An exchange of information be- tween the United States and Ar gentina and Uruguay concerning radicals and the description and movements of agitators is propos- ed in the measures to be taken. The belief prevails here that the United States has made similar suggestions to Brazil and other South American countries.

SAYS OFFICER TOLD HUN ID SWALLOW
 LIGHTED CIGkRET
Despite That Tact, Texas Private Chose to
 Re-enIist

New York, Dec. 15.-Testimony that he had disobeyed an order from Captain Karl Detzer to swal- low a lighted cigaret was given to- day by Private Marcello Gonzales, of San Antonio, Texas, at the court martial of Captain Detzer, charged with brutality to prisoners in crim- inal investigation headquarters at Le Mans.
 The charge that Gonzales had been compelled to eat the cigaret was one of the most sensational of the 2S specifications facing the officer, who as commander of the 308th military police company, had charge of the investigation work in the entire troop area. A previous witness had testified to hearing the order given, but said he did not see what became of the cigaret, as he had left the room. Gonzales stated that despite the order, he had flung the butts" to the floor of the guard house.
 Gonzales, who re-enlisted in the quartermaster corps after the war, and who now is stationed at Camp Dix, served overseas with the Tenth machine gun battalion and fought at Chateau Thierry, St. Mi hiel, and Verdun. He testified that he had been picked up" by Cap tain Detzer's men in Le Mans, and that although his pass showed he was only fifteen minutes late, he had been detained for approxi- mately three months. It develop ed, in cross examination, however, that this detention was due to the prisoners physical condition.
 Frequent skirmishes between opposing counsel marked today's session.
 Before adjournment a new group of witnesses for both prosecution and defense, arrived. They came from the south, chiefly from Tex as.

Text of Germany's Answer on Scapa
 Flow Incident

Paris, Dec. 15.-The German note in reply to the entente, de- livered today to Paul Dutasta, sec retary of the peace conference. says:
 "The German government de- sires to dissipate the misunder- standing that owing to the mo- mentary absence of American delegates from the commissions provided for by the treaty, Ger many claimed modifications and dispositions of the treaty concern ing the extradition of persons charged with culpability in acts contrary to military laws or the repatriation of prisoners.
 "The German government pre- vious to receiving the allied note had already explained the reasons why it would appear necessary to modify the conditions for the exc cution of those clauses, but the German government never made it's assent for the putting into force of the peace treaty condi- tional upon previous solution of that question.
 "The German government main tains it's opinion that the best means to reach solution of the Scapa Flow incident would have been to submit the lease to in ternational arbitration at The Hague. Such a measure would net have been delayed putting, the treaty into force or the signing of the protocol thus modified.
 "Desirious, however, of doing it's utmost for the early re-establish- ment of peace, the German gov ernment declares itself ready to make separations for the damages caused to the allied and associated governments by the Instructions of the ships.
 But the German government is unable to effect such repara- tions in the manner demanded by the protocol of November 1 be- cause the execution of the de- mands formulated in that protocol would compromise irretrievably Germany's economic life and also render impossible of execution the ether enormous obligations which the treaty imposes on Germany.
 "The German government, will formulate thru experts positive detailed propositions showing mode of reparation which altho adding a new and heavy burden on Germany in it's present situation. are not altogether incompatible with it's vital interests.
