After the story appeared in THE SUN
tsllmg how the chief Of the revolution
ist out OF a job had come 10 New York
and then disappeared mysteriously. his
colleague. the ex-revohtionist himself,
dropped out OF sight. and for three weeks
he has been invisible IN the haunis along
Broadway which hal been shelterlng him.
He reappeared yesterday,
This time the long Countenancs had
disappeared and the liberator OF South
American republics looked happy. like
wise moderately prosperous.
Missed me, have your was his greet
ing Well. I've been away Yes. down
10 Panama You remember, | spoke
about seeing the chief Well he came hack
from scfrewfsre or other, and We went
down 10 Colon m the same ship. There
were some people ! wanted TO So in
Panama people from down the coast.
For there Is something about 10 BE- doing
down there. my boy, and yours truly Ia
going 10 be IN H. Where' Well, INSIDE of
q month I expect 10 b. encamped at q
little place in Peru just south Of tho border
Of Ecuador.
i told YOU that they wouldn allow me
IN Peru any more. but there are changes
coming. Let me show YOU a couple Of
maps Now in this old map YOU will
notioelthat Ecuador looks like a fair sized
country. Now glance at the newer one.
You see that Ecuador has been reduced

Peru and the United states Of Colombia.

map Of south America from either Of

% be war. and real one this time. And
dit wasn't that don't exactly know what
Chile will do. could draw for YOU now the
map OF South America as IL will he AZ the
beg ginning Of next year.
That slicing on Ecuador was part Of
the work was helping 20 do on a survey
four ~ five years ago. Il was the result
Of an understanding between Peru and
Brazi. Now they are going after The rest
of Ecuador
I have private advices from down
there which tell me that Peru now has
IS.Ooo tPops in q position as near the
northern border as they can be placed
wishout Ecuador protesting. Now the
question that disturbs me is, what will
Chile 40 II Peru attacks Ecuador For
the latter Is going to happen soon: In fact
the news may come any day. There will
be no declaration Of war Peru will just
throw n few thousand troops over the
border. occupy a town or two. and then
there is going 10 be some real blOOdshed.

What puzzles everybody else is the fact
that Ecuador has been found to have
