with the deaths It is said that SIS percent
Of the children Of Santiago die before they
are five years Of age. but I do not believe
this TO be true
There Is one institution in Chile now that
promises TO bring about change In the
conditions Of the inqulhnos- This is the
army, and the law provides that every man
in the country sh4n spend at least one year
OF his life in the service.
AL OF the boys are drafted, and no mat

or not they have to spend this one year

and good beds 10 sleep in They get a taste
for the better food OF the army and do not
like TO 90 back 10 their beans and toasted
wheat that until then have formed a large
part OF their diet. As a result, after leav-
ing the army many go out to seek work
otherwheres. You find them as laborers
about the ports. as the employees on street
car lines and other railway construction
and doing all sorts Of common labor in the
cities. Moreover, they are natural mechan-
les and they soon learn. the various trades
Changes Sentiment Of Workers
It IS somewhat owing to these changes
that modern labor element IS developing

A similar unrest among the laboriug ele-
