The statement that men are being en-
listed in this country by representa- of
the Brazilian Government to put down the
instruction is emphatically denied by
Senior Mendonca, Brazilian Minister
Questioned tonight by representative Of
the Associated Press, MIR. Mendonca said !:
"If the Brazilian Government desired to.en.
list men in the United States 1t would
have to send a special officer for that pur-
pose. To enlist men otherwise would be
against the laws and regulations of Brazil.
The legation has no power to enlist men
and the Brazilian Government has no In
teDton of sending an enlisting officer here.
1t is certainly the intention TO employ
capable and skilled men to take charge of
the munitions of war, and Flint has con-
tract to transport these articles safely to
Brazil. None of the men employed are
under contract TO Brazil. On the contrary
many of them 60 on the condition that
