 The International Bureau of Ameri- can Republics is doing a broad and use- full work for Pan-American comm merce and comity. It's duties were much en- larged by the international conference of American states at Buenos Ayres and its name was shortened to the more practical and expressive term of Pan- American union Located now in it's new building, which was specially ded- icated April 26 of this year to the de- velopment of friendship, trade and peace among the American nations, it has improved instrumentalities to serve the 22 republics of this hemisphere.
 I am glad to say that the action of the United States in it's desire to re- move imminent danger of war between Peru and Ecuador growing out of a boundary dispute, with the cooperation of Brazil and the Argentine Republic as joint mediators with this govern ment, has already resulted successfully in preventing war. The government of Chile, while not one of the mediators, lent effective aid in furtherance of d preliminary agreement likely to lead on to an amicable settlement, and 1t is not doubted that the good offices of the meaiat ting powers and the conciliatory cooperation of the governments direct ly interested will finally lead to re- moval of this perennial cause of fric- ton between Ecuador and Peru.

that relatives and friends wanted the

1t seems that was the best way to dis

England.
The health officials have no super
vision over the ashes of cremated
bodies. So far as the law is concerned,
Mrs. Summerfield Of Passaic, \. j., or
Mrs Watson may take the contents
of the small tin box and they could be
scattered on Pennsylvania avenue or
any other thoroughfare without violat-

lieved, that President Madriz's gunboat

leans, engaged and sank Gen. Estradas
gunboat Ometepe off Punta Gorda Fri

Colon that President Madriz has order
