Thousands of men and women lined the

With courageous hearts they watched
the faces of loved ones fade into the
distance. The old home buildings stood
out against the horizon for long time,

realized that they must stand alone and
give to the cause they had taken up the
best that was in them.

mothers and fathers prayed, and then
their souls cried out in their loneliness.

at the railroad stations, and in every
part of the country. there are Indians
who go reeling along with red faces
and bleared eyes. During my stay in
Cuzco 1 have gone into some of the
alcohol stores, and l am astounded at
the vast quantities sold. There Is a
wholesale and retail liquor establish
ment just opposite my hotel IN the
heart of this city. 1t consists of a
number of large rooms running around

street is walled with tin tanks. each
twice as high as a man. and as big
around as the boiler of a hundred-ton
locomotive. / counted twelve Of these
tanks standing upon platforms against
the wall of that room. Each was
marked as containing 1900 liters Of al
cohol, and when I tapped upon them
with my knife found they were full.
There were $4,000 quarts of that ter
rible brandy in this one room alone.
Every tank had its faucet, and the
brandy was drawn out by the gallon,
the liter or bottle.
AS l looked the storekeeper came up
and I asked him some questioss. He
seemed proud of his business, and told
me that he made a million and a half
pounds of the liquor each year. He sells
it to the Indians at about SO per

Another American who Is a large

reason for this is that their parents

In the short time I have been in South
America l do not pretend to pass judg-
Quichua civilization. The above opinions
are the gist of those l have gathered
from men who have lived in South
America for many years. Some of the
views come from natives, and some from
foreigners who have been long in the
country. Let me give you few of the
talks I have had on this subject. The
first is from mining operator who Is
at the head of the company which in the
past decade had operated quartz mines
here in the Andes, yielding more than
81 100000 in gold. He is a man of close
observation and a large employer of
Indians. He is. moreover, open minded
and fair, and he believes what he says.

The Quichuas of today appear to lack
ordinary intelligence You tell man
to fetch you a broom and he will bring
you a shovel. You send him for a
Ratchet. and like as not he will come
back with a glass of water. If you
knock him over and make him go back
he then may bring what you have asked.

believe that the cause of the deteriora-
ton of the Quichua is due somewhat to
the oppression he has had on the part of
the whites, but more to the alcohol and
coca with which his brain is soaked
from the time he reaches young man
hood until the day Of his death. The
chewing Of the coca leaf begins almost
at birth: and boys and girls, young men
and young women. as well as the old
must have so much coca per day. The
Indians expect to be supplied with GER
f1ir al nf in or
wages. They mix the leaves with the
ashes Of certain tree and chew them.
The ashes furnish the alkali that loosens
the alkaloid of the coca. giving them
