Will German Intrigue Unite North and South America in War For Democracy ? I The proper way to murder, according to a German nobleman in the diplomatic service, is to do it “ without leaving a trace." This noble character represented William II (more or less accurately) at the capital of Argentina, and his message to Berlin telling them how to do their own speciality, as some think it, was part of a dispatch coolly advising Germany to submarine steamers of the neutral nations that harbored him as a guest. “The present disclosure," remarks the Harrisburg Patriot, “ought to be the means of lining up the Argentine with the other South American Republics against the Germans as further evidence that the Western Hemisphere is united against the things for which Germany stands.” In THE LITERARY DIGEST for September 22d, there is a very illuminating article which covers from every angle the recent diplomatic clash involving Germany and Sweden against Argentina. There are a number of other striking articles covering the news of the world in 1 this number of the “Digest.*” Some of these are: Kerensky Emerges from Russian Revolution Stronger than Ever I Korniloff, by His Blood and Iron Methods, Might Have Been Able to Give Russia Law and Order, and Success at the Front.
