Argentine Will Formally Leave
 Nation League
TRepubllcsn 4. p. Leased WireI

GENEVA. Dec. 7.--Honorio Pueyrre- don, head of the Argentine delegation, just before his departure for. Paris to- night, informed the Associated Press that Argentina's withdrawal from the assembly probably would be followed shortly by formal declaration of its intention to leave the league.
 "The only condition under which Ar gentina will resume her place Is the adoption of her four proposals in sub stance" said Senor Pueyrredon. Ar gentines notification of her desire to quit the league entirely may be con- strued as dating from the day we left the assembly and unless the assembly acts favorably on my amendments, Ar gentina will declare herself out of the league at the expiration of two years, as provided in the covenant
 T am more convinced than ever that the course I have adopted Is just and
 the only one possible under these cir
 cumstances. l have had many cable grams congratulating me from Argen- tina and the president upholds me. am greatly encouraged by the speeches by American congressman in support
 of my decision
 "The assembly will have to adopt the four proposals I offered if the league 1 IS to be made a world wide instrument to prevent war, such as its originator: intended"
 Senor Pueyrredon spent his last day l in Geneva saying good-by to his assist ants and friends. He sent in his res 1 ignation as one of the vice. president! of the assembly and also as member O several commissions. The two othe' members of the Argentine delegation l will depart in day or two.

NEW YORK, Dec 7.-Sensational disclosures of his mission to this coun- try as a spy. for the German govern ment was given in an alleged confess sion by John Willers. formerly captain in Company I, Forty-eighth United States infantry, alleged deserter. after his arrest here tonight charged with absconding with $5OO0 of his company funds on Dec. 19. 1918, his regiment then stationed at Camp Sevier, Green vile, s. c.
 His capture was accidental. He was crossing Fifth avenue at Forty second street. when Hugh J. Hannigan, for merly a lieutenant in Willer's com pany, recognized hIm. Hannigan called a policeman and Willers was arrested. At a police station the prisoner was further identified by two other former ieutenants in Company I, Sidney F. Howell and Francis Hatch. Willers was then taken to Governors Island and placed in confinement at Fort Jay.
 Villers, the police said, recited in a brazen fashion how he was sent to the United States as one of 300 cadets trained in acts of espionage to enlist in the American army.
 On his arrival in the United States Willers went to Albany, where he en- listed. he said, as a private. His mill tary aptitude won his rapid promotion and his knowledge of English and his ability to speak like an American enabled him to obtain a commission.
 WHlers said he had never been sent across the ocean and while in this country his instructions were ito ac the part of a loyal American' and t' take no action until he reached the wal zone.

 CABINET BERTH
 WITH HARDING
Republican A. P. Leased WIreJ

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7-President- elect Harding concluded today his two-days visit to Washington with an other succession of conferences in which he talked with his party asso- ciates about the league of nations. the selection of a cabinet and other problems confronting him in the build ing of his administration.
 The president t-elect did not call on President Wilson. but en route to the station to board his special train for Marion, Ohio, he stopped at the White House to leave his card and that of Mrs. Harding. The automobile bear ing the senator and his party drove up to the north entrance to the exec utjve mansion, where it was met by l. H. Hoover. chief usher at the White House. MT. Harding presented the cards, saying that he desired to leave them for the president" and then continued on to the station.
 All of those with whom the presi- dent-elect conferred today preserved silence regarding the details of the discussions and Mir Harding himself said the conversations were strictly of d confidential nature. He repeated his statement of yesterday that he was seeking by direct personal consul tation to frame an administrative pol .ey behind which every one could unite.
 In his search Tor information anC ] advice about the league, the president elect summoned Republican senators
 }f the irreconcilable and of the milo
 -eservation groups alike, and it is un- lerstood he told them he wanted sug' gestions from every quarter. With-
 out submitting any concrete plan O
 his own, he is said to have asked
 plainly what sort of internationa agreement each of his conferees would
 support.
 The discussion of cabinet selection
 had a wider scope, several of his mos
 trusted friends undertaking to can

Hamon, million aire and Republican national commit teeman tonight apparently was near ing an end for reports from border towns indicated that the young woman had been found in a Mexican village and had agreed to cross the line.
 Sheriff Orndorff of Fl Paso, Tex, and his chief deputy, Edward Bryant, both reported that they had informa- tion that Miss Smith was in Mex ican town just across the border and telegraphed Sheriff Buck Garrett ask ing that an officer be sent for her.
 Russell Brown, county attorney and instigator of the investigation which led to the search for Miss Smith. said he would confer with Sheriff Garrett about sending someone.
 Mr Brown, however. was doubtful as to, whether Miss Smith could be brought back to the United States un- less she came of her own free will because of the fact that the United States has not recognized the present Mexican government.
 Almost simultaneously a conference was held in Fort Worth between at torneys and Miss Smiths father- The lawyers. it was annpuneed. advised that Miss Smith surrender and alsC said that they believed she would give herself up tomorrow.

Puzzle for japan,

When will the Japanese know the
truth about their mikado?
II Emperor Yoshihito should die
how will the news be broken to
them?
The emperor is closely connected
with the religious life Of the Jap
anese people, and great care is talk
en- to censor rtlmors regarding his
health.
Recent bulletins, however, disclose
the fact that the mikado has been i'll
for some time and for, the last few
months. 1t is reported, insane. He
mas been removed from Toxic to an
isolated retreat and can not attend
ceremonies or grant audiences to
Japanese or foreigners. Official bul :
ietins say he has lost the use of his
legs and Is unable to speak clearly.
Emperor Yoshihito suffered a
physical and mental collapse about
April /. Since then dispatches said
he was very i'll at his villa, near Yo-
kohama, Later it was reported he
had recovered and returned to the
imperial palace. But the Japanese
people are beginning to wonde", since
their ruler Is neither seen nor heard
from.
The present Japanese dynasty is
by far the oldest in the world, for
9oshihito claims to be the 122d
monarch Of an unbroken line, dating
from the seventh century before the
Christian era.
His imperial majesty was born on
Aug. al, 1879. and is the son of the
late Emperor Meij. He became
crown prince in 1889, and assembled
the throne in 1912 His imperial
hiEhness was married on May 10,
1900, to the Princess Sadako, and the
birth of strong boy in 1901 caused
great rejoicing thruout Japan. XII
rohito Shinno. this first son, is now
crown prince, and there are three
other sons in the royal family.
Mikado Yoshihito's health has al
ways been more or less cause for
anxiety, and in his childhood there
seemed little hope of rearing him. At
present, however. his condition is
said to be such that many hint at
his death and think that these ru-
