Washington Letter,
BY Edward Heating,
Congressmau-at-Large
From Colorad 6

When the representative of
thea. B, C. +" confederation
Argentine, Brazil and Chill
walked into the State Depart
ment a week ago last Saturday
and asked leave to attempt a
peaceful adjustment Of the differ
ences between this country and
General Huerta, Old World dip
lomacy received a jolt which fair
ly knocked the breath out of it,
and even Uncle Sam had to rub
his eyes and pinch himself to
make sure he was not dreaming.
Why the blankety blank
blank are those Greasers butting
in, and where and what in the
Sam Hill is the A. B. C.. confed-
eration!" shouted one jingoistic
member of Congress when he
heard tie news.
1t behooves us all to take down
our old biographies and dust
them off, for new world power
has been born and we might as
wen get acquainted with it.
About 100 years ago the co,n-
tries to the south of US shook off
,,he yoke of Spain and set up in
( tpendent governments. We
promulgated the Monroe Doctrine
in order that they might have a
chance to get on their feet 1t
was well wesdid for they had
scarcely adopted their constitu-
tions before they began fighting
among themselves, and the land
grabbing powers of Europe would
have seized them if the United
States had not assumed the role
of big brother
JEFFERSON'S PROPHECY.
In letter to Jeffersor, writ
in the early twenties John,
Adams described the anarchy
prevailing throughout South
America and declared that there
was no reason to believe that
these turbulent people would ever
develop capacity for se!f-govern-
nent. The Sage Of Monticello
had more accurate vision, how
ever, and then contended that no
people could pass from slavery to
the full enjoyment of free instl-
tuition in a single generation.
Give them chance. he
counseled, "and they will reward
our patience and friendship.
Almost a century has passed
since jefferson ventured that
prophecy. Now there are 20 re-
publics in Latin-America, and
at least three Of them are de-
manding recognition as first
class powers and they are possess
ed of the commercial and military
strength to enforce the claim.
We have beeen so busy with our
own affairs that we have not fol-
lowed their developement. Like
some doting but careless parents
who presist Of thinking Of their
offspring as children long after
they have attained maturity. we
have sustained the role of guar
dian Of South America long after
- considerable portion of that
y ,ontinent was quite capable of
safeguarding its own interest.
THE CHILDREN WHO
GREW UP
Undoubtedly Argentine. Brazil
and Chill enjoyed the amazment
of their Uncle Sam when they
bolted into his front room and
said.
Cheyenne record., 1914-05-07


We understand him and know,
how to reason with him. Mexico
is one Of the family, you know
and while she is a trifle fused
up just now it is our duty as low
ing brothers and sisters to help
her out of her difficulties. Just
keep your temper, Uncle, and
everything will be lovely in few
days"
They might be parioned if they
INDUCED in a chuckle. under the
circumstances. but if their Uncle
Samuel was surprised he proved
he was not bereft of his sound
comon sense, which is most no.
table trait. for he promptly ac-
cepted their offer.
The mediators went about the ir
self imposed task with the vigor
and skill of old hands, and there
is reason to believe they will
achieve results. However that
may be, a new and potent ele-
ment has been injected into the
big game of work politics, and
hereafter our friendship with our
neighbors of the Western Hemis-
phere rather than toward the
formation of European alliances.
All the Americas for America
will be q shibboleth which will be
needed by both Euro pc and Asia
GROWTHO SOUTH
AMERICA.
Now let's take peep between
the covers of that old geography
and ascertain some of the changes
which have taken place south of
the Rio Grand since BollveIe and
O'Hggns chased the Spanards
into the sea.
Latin-American has three
tim es the area of the Uuited
States and a population of 70. 900.
600 people. Its foreign trade last
year amounted to $1,000, 900, 600
or one-half of the foreign trade
Of the United States with 1000
600, 1000 people.
But the most amazing fact in
connection with atin-Americans
development is that its foreign
trade has increased 81, 100000,
600 in the last ten years. Talk
about boom! No other portion
of the ha5itable globe can make
d better showing; yet we some
times speak Of these republics as
'Dagoelands and generally think
Of them as the home of yellow
fever, alligators and revoluntion-
lists.
The United States has secured
a generous slice of this trade.
John Barrett, the Director
General Of the Panamerican
Union, is authority for the state
menr that our commerce with
Latin-America has more than
doubled in ten years and that we
are out stripping England, France
or Germany. And that without
a ship subsidy, too!
We think we have some country
and tbs tolerably large when you
compare it with Europen nations,
but you could put the continental
United States in Brazil and still
have enough left over to make
the state OF Pennsylvania!
We speak Of the Mississippi as
the Fathers of Waters, but out
of the Amazon flows five times
the volume Of water that the Mis-
sissippi empties into the Gulf.

THE HUMAN SLAUGHTER HOUSE"

this very night. am the last
survivor the fields are dead
the woods dead-the villages dead
the cities dead-the earth is dead
the earth was butchered tonight. and
I. only 1 have escaped the slaughter
house.
And 1t comes over me as a great
thing. a pathetically great thing
now l know what my destiny is
lowering. I watch my own actions
and wait TO see how I shall accom-
plish 1T mark how l am slowly
putting my hand into my pocket
before 1 left home / took my pocket
pistol with me. l am holding the toy
in my hand-the steel is looking W
at me and blinking at me- am gaz-
ing with a smile into its black. con-
fiding muZzle - am holding il
against my temples pull the trig-
ger. and fall over backward-the last
of mankind on this dead earth
They have now covered up our hot
breath with earth. Why are you
blinking at me with your bleared
eyes. my brother? Are you not glad ?
Don't they envy us our sweet death ?
They have laid US out in a picturesque
row. and you need only turn your
head 10 rub against human flesh al
once, and If you turn your yellow
eyeball. you can see nothing but
corpses in the twilight. One beside
the other. that is how they are sleep
ing. And corpse upon corpse, ever
more of them, through the whole
length Of the loose soil Of the potato
field, and we even fill the whole ad-
joining field Of roots.
We poor dead herOesi So do not
disturb our last sleep any longer. We
had to die to enable the others &c
live. We died for our native land in
it's straits. We are victorious now
and have won land and fame, land
enough for millions of our brothers
Our wives have land, our children
our mothers, our fathers have land
And now our poor native land has air
to breathe. 1t need no longer be
stified. They have cleared the air OF
us. They have got rid Of US, Of us
who were far too many. We are nc
longer eating the bread away from

fed, so fulfilled and quiet. But they
have got land! And ore! Iron mines!
Cold Spices! And bread
Come. brother philosopher let us
turn our faces TO the earth. Let us
sleep upon our laurels, and let us
dream of nothing but our cOuntry's

GERMAN SOCIETY TO
WORK FOR FAIRNESS
American Papers Not Acquainted
With War Facts is Its
Complaint.

NEW YORK. Aug. %. - The Ger
man-American literary defense COM
mittee organized few days ago 10
look after the interests Of Germany
in the newspaper reports Of the Eu-
ropean war has opened an office in
New York. Henry Weismann is
chairman and most OF the members
are literary and professional men of
German birth or descent.
The American newspapers have
not given Germany a fair show in
the war dispatches" said DR. +. G.
DeWalsh OF the City college. who is
the committees secretary. The rea-
son for this we cannot understand. 1t
is our purpose ~ see that Germany
gets fair pay. One can not deny that
the newspapers have been giving
large headlines and space TO reported
Belgian or French successes. While
reports OF German victories have been
reported in comparatively few lines.
"In some instances the conditions
have not been correctly stated. For
instance the American papers printed
that the French had taken the 'forti-
fed city Of Muelhauseh. ANY Ger
man school boy knows that there is
not gun in Muelhausen. Why was
a wrong impression OF that event
given TO American readers II is our
intention TO correct these n-isstate-
mentS"

tionalist agency here that Gen. Villa,

counter revolution against Carranza,
while the First chief" of the rebellion

ional government by the United States.
Villas forces, according to state de-
partment estimates comprise 10000
men. This army is reported in readi-
ness to move against Mexico City i'm
mediately Gen. Felipe Angeles Villas
chief OF staff went TO Zacatecas Fri
day to effect an agreement with 5000
eX-Huertistas who left the capital pri-
or to Carranza's entry. If this force
is added to the northern army, it will
outnumber by several thousand Car
ranza's force in the capital
Gen Carranza began negotiations
with the United States Friday with a
view Of obtaining recognition before
Villas advance gains Roadway. At the
white house il was said that no decis-
ion had been received to accord diplo-
matte acknowledgment to Carranza
at present. Both Villa and Carranza

FRENCH SOLDIERS
ARE FORCED BACK
German Army Corps Makes
Vigorous Counter Attack and
Won Advantage Through
Greatly Superior Numbers.

PARIS. Aug. 22.-The war office
issued an official statement Friday
night which was as follows:
After Recommending the frontier our
troops advanced into Lorraine along
a front extending in the DOMAIN noun
tains to Chateau Salins.
They drove the Germans back into
the valley OF the Seille river and the
marshy district and our advance
guards reached Define, DieuZe and
MOrhange.
Yesterday several German army
corps made a vigorous counter attack
and our advance guards fell back. The
fight was extremely fierce on both
sides and in view OF the greatly SUI
perior number of the Germans, our
troops who had been fighting contin-
uously for six days. retreated.
Our left covers the advance works
of Nancy and our right is firmly es-
tablished in the DonOn hills.
The greater strength Of the enemy
made cur remaining in Lorraine USE
less an0 imprudent.
"Details received showed that the
reOccupatiCn of Muelhausen was a
great success. The offensive, first
along the line from Thanh to Done
marie (Dammerkirch). and then on
TO Muelhausen was carried out with
rare dash.
by a bold stroke Gen. Paul Pau.
once ne was master at Thanh and
Donemarie. directed the troops west
of Muelhausen, giving the enemy an
opportunity to engage him between
our lines and the Swiss frontier and
ther by a second move the Germans
were thrown back on Muelhausen."
