The military system is that of Ger

the training. There are German pro-

and it tends to make him leave the farm
for the city and to engage in labor
there.
Another influence toward civilizing
and elevating the Inquilno is the labor
organizations. They are slowly making
their way into the various countries or
South America. The railway employees
are organized. and so are the stevedores
as well as the members OF some OF the
mechanical trades. The labor element is
beginning to take part in; politics. ana
it has now two representatives IN the
Chilean congress. The departments OF po-
lice and of the state railways are un-
der the civil service, and positions there
are in great demand among the common
people, especially as the wages are high

strange to see a policeman marching

the afternoon with a great knapsack
on his back.
Speaking Of the police. they have the
custom here. common in all South
American cities, of whistling every
half hour or SO throughout the night.
They have shrill whistles. which they
blow loud and long, waking the light
sleeper and warning the burglar or
thief as to just where they are.
Much of the mercantile business OF
Chile is done by foreigners. The full
blooded Spaniard looks down upon
trade, and he is content to have the
half-breed and the man from outside
do his merchandising for him. The
big business is mainly in the hands OF
foreigners, and some of the largest
fortunes of the country are held by
families with European names. The

here it must be remembered that the
country is one of classes. Chile has al

and its common people. The last does the
