SECRETARY COLBY TO VISIT
 SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES

Washington, Nov (By the A.

A formal visit to Argentine is precluded by the fact that the secretary is going as the personal representative of President Wilson and solely to return the visits to the United States of Presidents Bessoa and Brum.
 Other South American countries, how 1 ever, may soon be visited by General | Pershing. That plan has been under l consideration for some time, but Secre- 1 tary Baker said today that no decision had been reached. If General Pershing l did go, MT. Baker said, his trip would
