La Paz, Bolivia, July 13.-Brazil,
Bolivia, Argentina and Peru are
likely to become involved in war
over the rich Acre territory, which
Brazil bought of Bolivia for $40,
100000. Peru claims that the coun-
try is hers and the President of
Argentina, as arbitrator, awarded it
to Peru. The Bolivian government
refuses to accept the award. which
is considered equivalent to a dec
laration of war on Peru. The Peru
Wan and Argentina embassies here
are being guarded from a mob and
many Peruvian stores have been
plundered. Argentina demands an
apology from Bolivia and will sew
er relations IL this is refused. Then
Peru and Brazil are likely to be
drawn in.
