torpedoad and sunk by the enemy at some distance off the coast. Don Ramon was ore of the officers on board and he saved his life by catching hold of the tail of a bull that had been on the ship The bull swan to the shore, and 1t car ried Don Ramon with It.
 That was g years ago, when Don Ramon was then in his fif.ies. He Is now past threescore and ten, and Is still full of life, although he is criticised as taking frequent maps during the day. Indeed, one of the wits of Santiago has made a bonmot in reference to him that to me seems more sarcastic than just. This man says: "The King of England reigns, but does not rule. The President of the United States rules but does not reign. The President of France neither rules nor reigns. The President of Chile -Rleeps."
 I found Don Ramon far from sleeping during my interview The talk was ar ranged through MT. Roland B. Harvey. who in the absence of the American minister was charge d'affaires of our legation in Santiago. and my audience was given in the Moneda or Chilean White House. The Moneda is also the state department, and before going in to the President, l had a short talk with the secretary of state as to the growth of Chile and the great develop ment now going on in the south I asked him as to the nitrate fields. and whether our farmers are to continue to have their best fertilizers from this part of the world. The secretary replied that we need not worry. We are finding new nitrate deposits right along he said, and the industry is spreading north and south. If the present demand only were to be satisfied, we could supply t for a hun . dred years, but new markets are coming up and the continent of Asia promises to be one of our chief consumers We are already sending a great deal of nitrate to Japan, and also to southern Europe, including Russia and the Balkan states. Germany is one of our chief customers. and the Austro- -Hungarans are steadily Increasing their demand"
 At this point I was told that the Pres- ident was ready to see me- and Seno Castro, one of the secretaries; MT. Harvey and myself were taken into the audience room. This is more like a large parlor than like the offices of our White House.

The Presi;de11t of Chile
BY FRANK G. CARPENTER

: during his visit to Chile. and also referred union at Santiago and to the fact that cur Secretary of State. MT. Bryan, and MT. John Barrett, the director of the union, are to be present. The President believes in a closer union of the pan American republics, and thinks that they should cooperate in maintaining the peace of this hemisphere.
 During the interview l asked Don Ra- mon several questions as to his executive powers, and as to the points of differ ence between the Republic of Chile and ours The Chilean constitution is mod eled upon that of the United States, but there are striking differences, and in some ot these Chile has the advantage. Presi- dent Don Barros Luco, for instance. was elected for a five-year term instead of four years, as was President Wilson, and he cannot suece ed himself, although he may have a second term If another President intervenes This takes him out of poli- tics as far as using the civil service Is concerned.
 Another point of difference Is in the conduct of the administration. The President of the United States is assisted by cabinet of secretaries appointed by himself. although their appointments
 
 president of Chile appoints his own cabi- net, but he has also council of state of Il members. five of whom are nominated by him and the other six chosen by con Sress This council has advisory func- tiens, and its approval is required Tn many of the executive acts and appoint ments. In case our President dies the vice president suoReeds, and if he passes away the Secretary of State becomes President for fha finder pf the Chile has no vice president. but if the president dies the secretary of the in teror becomes the vice president and acts as president until a new president can be legally elected.
 The President of the United States Is far better paid than the president of Chile. President Wilson nas salary of T5,000 year and an allowance of s250Oo for travelling expenses. Besides. he has his house rent free and lots of per- qujsites. Don Ramon Barros has a salary of less than $700O, and in the neighbor- hood of s5000 for expenses His total of- ficial income is Just about $12,000, and, notwithstanding this, he lives in good style and has a limousine.
 The inoneda, or Chilean White House, is much larger than our executive man sicn. It covers almost four acres and consists of a three-stOry building run nlng around patios or courts, filled with flowers and in which fountains play. The building is, large for a country the size of Chile, and, as the story goes, it was made so through a mistake. It was built in the old Spanish times, the plans being made in Madrid and sent to Santi- age. The Spanish architect had been tcld by the King to construct two sets of drawings, one for large building in Mexico City then also part of the Spanish dominion, and a smaller building for Chile. He followed his directions. but in forwarding the plans Santiago got the

 The effect of these sewing parties will be seen long after the war is over. They have struck blow at class differences in England and laid the beginning of a new social order. There have, of course, been snivellings and toadyings at these gatherings, but real friendships have : sprung up at them between people who before the war were socially set as far apart as east is from west
 Princess Maud of Fife (who, it may be mentioned, became revealed at the Queen's sewing parties as quite the best plain needlewoman of the royal family both in tue rapidity and quality. of her worlO has become the intimate chum of the daughter of a solicitor who lives in a northern suburb and the princess became her friends weekend guest quite recently.
 Princess Henry of Battenburg has started a class for instructing girls of poor parents in the work of rendering first aid. The class meets at Kens- ingtori Palace twice week at s o'clock in the evening. Some 200 girls attend it and the princess provides all the necessary expenses out of her own pocket which amount to about S125 a week. There are 20 surgeons em- ployed to give instructions and the huge ballroom at the palace has been converted into a class room.
 The object of this class is to se- cure a plentiful supply of a type of nurse "who might in the official words of Il letter from the war office sane tionirg the establishment of the class, 'be required in the event of certain emergencies" which means in the event of an invasion of England when there would be fighting at places by the coast where nurses would be required to attend to the wounded before they could be taken to the hospitals in land.

men in the present war. Prince Albert, to Germany on the outbreak of war, to join the German army. But the Schles- wig Holstein family are under big obligation to England and are especial ly so at the present time when only for King George they would be in the greatest poverty. So when the occas- ion arose for a member of the family to perform service to England it was promptly done.
 At Windsor is the residence of the chief of a great German financial house in London. The man is a friend of King George and has frequently been the guest of the King and Queen His father bequeathed to the King. as Prince of Wales. a massive old British silver urn discovered In Wales some years ago and believed to be of the ninth century and the only one of its kind in existence. The donor purchased it for s1O0,000 and it's present value Is far greater. But the family, like the Schleswig- Holsteins. are altogether German and the son of the present head is fighting for Germany
 Now the Princess Victoria was a frequent guest at this house and it came to her knowledge that the head had made his home a depot for rifles for use of Germans in England should an invasion of the country be suc- cessfully accomplished The German in question was one of the highly piacee aliens in England who were entrusted with the direction and de- velopment of this plot to assist his countrymen in the event of their ef- fecting a landing in England and he was in touch with the Germans all through the country.
 How much of the details of this plot came to the Princess Victorias knowledge Is not known. but her royal highress certainly learnt that her host was very actively engaged in taking steps to assist Englands ene- my. The princess was placed in terribly awkward and difficult posi- ton; was she to betray her own coun- trymen and divulge knowledge that had come to her as that mans guest or was she to keep secret knowledge that was of the greatest importance to the safety of the country to which she and her family owed so much?
 When the princess returned to her home at Cumberland Lodge after con- sultation with her father. she went up to London and informed the King of what she had learned. The next day the bank ers house was raided. all the rifles, and, what was of even more importance, & number of papers. were seized and the banker for the moment put under arrest in his own house. As result of that raid rifle seizures were made almost im- mediately all over the country and .

flee will then be over, and he expects to visit the opening of the San Francisco ex- position If Congress will free him from the country for one year after the close of his term Don Ramon told me that his plan is to travel to Panama, examine the canal and thence proceed by ship to San Francisco. After seeing the fair he will go across the mountains and plains to Chicago, and thence on to Washing ton and New York. He will return to Chile by the Caribbean sea and the Pa cific, passing through the canal.
 I asked the President as to the effect of the Panama canal upon our trade with his country. He replied that it will un- doubtedly better the relations between the two republics, and that the United States will be able to sell more goods along the whole western coast of this continent He expects an immediate increase from now on in the exports of Chile to the United States and that not only from its mines, but also from its farms and orchards. He spoke kindly of Col. Theodore Roose- welt, who has made host of friends
