most of them lived by hunting and fish

We're always ready to fight for their
rights. When the Spanish came in the
armies raised against them were large
Valdivia was frequently attacked by thou
sands of Indians, and at one time an
army of 10000 Araucanians besieged San
tiago. That was about 80 years after the
discovery of America. The Spaniards had
surrounded the city with palisades. but
the Indians tore them down and set fire
to the houses Indeed it was only through
the leadership of Inez Saurez, beautiful
girl. who might be called the Joan dare
of Chile. that the Spaniards of this part
of the world were not then wiped from
the face of the earth. This girl was the
mistress of the commander Valdivia. In
his absence she assumed the leadership
of the troops. She put on coat of mail
and with her little Spanish army drove
the Indians back. During the siege she
captured six of the Indian chiefs, and
At is said she cut off their heads with her
own hands.
During the wars with the Araucani-
ans the Spaniards had much the same
experiences that our forefathers had in
he days of the colonists. The Indians
surrounded the settlements and killed
every white man they could get away
from his fellows. They bottled the
Spaniards up in Santiago and forced
them to live on rats and the roots OF
Wild plants. The Span;ards had their
starving times similar to those that
our colonists had at jamestown, and
during one of these Valdivia, who was
the Capt. John Smith Of Chile. wrote
to Charles V of Spain that SO grains
of corn were good days ration and
that the corn was eaten both meal and
bran. Naldivia carried his fighting far
south of Temuco. 1t was right here
that he was once attacked by 10000
warriors and saved himself only by
charging the Indians with company
of cavalry. The Indians were fright
ened by the horses and in the battle a
thousand of them were killed and 400

200 acres in wheat, and his sons were
harvesting this with the aid of white men.
They used Mccormick headers, pushed
along through the fields by oxen, yoked

of the grain dropped into a wagon, in
which they went to the thresher. In this
work a white Chileno did the driving.

AMERICAN NAVY's NEED.
German Annual Says Chief Difficulty
is Lack Of Men.


Berlin. July S.-Tne most serious
difficulty with which the American
navy has to contend is the lack both
Of officers and men. other hindrances
to its proper development are party
politics, lack of a definite naval pro-
gram. ana the insufficient supply of
cruisers.
This is the opinion OF Nauticus,
Germanys foremost annual naval re-
view, the sixteenth number of which
has just been issued.
Nauticus, although published by
private enterprise. is regarded as a
high authority on marine affairs, and
has an almost official standing. The
critics who edit the review find the
conditions in America particularly un-
fortunate as to younger officers. The
youngest ensigns now in the service
have no chance 10 become lieutenants
before they are 40, and conditions are
growing worse as a result of the fail
urc of Congress to adopt the long dis
cussod measure to remedy the situa-
ton.
The lack of officers Is so great that
not even the battleships, to say moth
