rivals to outstrip her in American rep
resentation.
1t has not been the policy of the
state department to send ambassadors
to any country which cannot be ranked
as a world power, and when the hos
tility of the rest of South America be-
came known the United States decided
that such a change had better not be
agitated further at this time. Before
this decision was reached, however, it
was automatically limited that Bolivia
and several of the other western South
American republics would probably de-
eide to withdraw their ministers and
leave their legations in charge of sec
retaries in case Chile was. permitted to
send an ambassador.
After Mr.. Walker Martinez left
Washington it was suggested to the
state department that another man,
whose name has not been made pub
lie, was being considered for the place.
But after the United States had asked
about the man his name was dropped
and recently there has been no sugges-
ton that Chile will be in any hurry
about sending a representative of min
iSterial rank to Washington.
The United States had no objections
to the name proposed and the failure
of Chile to send him is attributed by
IdiplOmatists here to the refusal of the
United States to give a favorable con-
sideration to the ambassadorial plan.

WANT LEGAL ADVICE.
Right to Charge for Water on Forest
Reserves Up.

Washington, April 1.-The forest
service has submitted to the attorney
general the questions of the legality Of
the practice of so charging commercial
companies for the right of conducting
water through the reserves for the de-
velopment of power and other purposes
as to cause them to contribute to- the
expense Of maintaining the reserves
The service has heretofore exacted
paynlent for pipe lines taking water
from the. streams in the reserves, but
the right to do so has been questioned
and 1t is now the purpose to secure the
attorney generals view on the point
The forestry administration takes the
position that the commercial COM
panies should pay something for the
service they receive through the COM
servation of the waters Of the streams
on which they rely, and they find their
only opportunity in the charge for the
right of way Practically all the water
used by them is conveyed through pipe
Hines for the generation Of electricity
and the demand is constantly incfeas-
ling.
