the national capital from the west, is to
be reality. The enormous debt on the

been chosen for the cathedral building

Pan American accord we must emphasize the lack
of first class passenger and mail steamship service
such characterizes the systems of communication
between Europe and Latin America. The long
established and we'll defined association of Latin
Americans with Europe has been immeasurably
couraged by the excellence of the steamship facilities
If the average merchant and traveller OF South Amer
ica could reach New York with the same comfort
and speed that he proceed to Paris, there would
be at once vast and radical change in the stua-
ton favorable to the United States.
That there is not one first class fast mail and
passenger steamer running between New York
and such important South American points Rio
Janeiro and Buenos Ayres received garing prorni-
nence from the experience of the delegates the
cent Pan-AmerCan conference in Rio JaneIro. Only
few could obtain accommodations the little
vessel that, with sister boat makes monthly trips
to the great capital of Brazil All the Others
forced to go by way of Europe where six different
lines provide of splendid, modern fast ships
between the principal ports and those of South
America.
No Latin American merchant or capitalist IS going
to North America a slow, senicargo boat with
limited accommodations. when there numerous
fast steamers bound for Europe with as fine
rangements the transatlantic liners This means
the loss of millions of dollars of trade the United
States every year, according the direct
of South Americans themselves. 1t is true that
there excellent freight steamship facilities be
tween North and South American ports, but they do
not meet the passenger requirements any than
would purely railway freight service suit the
traffic between New York and Chicago.

While our papers full of mining schemes.
plans for railroad construction, and engineering
works on scale, little notice is taken of
similar undertakings going in all parts of South
America. A one thousand page pamphlet could not
detail all of the plans already inaugurated CT
about to be started in the South American countries
for the construction of railways, mining, agrcul-
tural and general material exploitation and develop
ment. London financial papers have estimated that
one thousand million dollars of foreign capital will be
invested in South America during the next five years
Already fifteen hundred million dollars of European
capital is earning good interest IN Argentine.
There be no better evidence that we have
neglected our trade with Latin America than the
present condition of commerce with that part
of the world The total foreign commerce of the
Latin Republics, including both exports and I'M
ports, is valued at nearly two thousand
million dollars If we examine the official statistics,
however, find that last year only four per
cent. of the total exports from the United States
went to Latin America, and that only thirteen per
cent. of imports found their origin in sister
nations. We bought far than sold,
making heavy balance of trade against approx
nately hundred and twenty million dollars.
The total exports of the United States in 1905 to
Latin America valued at hundred and
eightytwo million dollars. while the total imports
into the United States from Latin America reached
the larse- sum of three hundred and nine millions.
There is valid reason why should not sell to
Latin America much purchase from it.

difference in lineage and angu age; but this point IS
little appreciated. The power Of similarity IN race
and tongue is mighty. kinship in these respects
brings men close together. 1t makes them more
sympathetic and this counts for much in Latin

carefully studying methods of Counterbalancing
these adverse conditions to his progress in Latin
America and of adapting himself thereto under

fails in his purpose.

A to language, it is difficult to write with patience.
4 So small is the percentage of North Americans
visiting Latin America, on business or pleasure, who
speak Spanish, Portuguese, or French, that it is
wonder they make any progress IN their plans.
Ninety five per cent. of the Europeans who go to
Central and South America understand of these
tongues French is mentioned because nearly all
the well educated Latin Americans speak that
language. This subject requires argument-It
is simply impossible for the North American, who

MANY Instances of that nobility in women which
A'A often prompts self sacrifice when the welfare
of others is concerned may be found in the history of
the Paris Commune. One of the most remarkable
examples was that of Partisan woman who nursed

doctor. When the insurrect;on was quelled the
doctor arrested and marched off to be tried at
a drumhead court martial.
