1t is difficult to understand the great amount of
skeptcism regarding the reported discovery by Col.
Roosevelt of river in Brazil 1000 miles long Quite
possibly the Brazans, not being fond of boating or

possessed wonderful knack of discovering things in
the United States While the mediators are in ses-
sion at Niagara Falls however it might be advisable
for them to settle the question. whether not the
Brazilians knew the river was there?

ARMS ARE NEAR Perfection;
Close to Limit of Velocity and Range,
Says General Wood.

Washington, Jan. 9-Major General
Wood, chief of staff of the army, has
advised the house military affairs
committee that while there is danger
of the field artillery or other large
types of guns used by the army be-
coming outclassed by newer guns,
there is no danger of their becoming
obsolete, because I'VE are approaching
the limit of strength OF materials,
both in the velocity of our guns and
their range so far as one can see.
He said the army was trying to keep
a sound type of gun which will lend
itself to minor notifications and not
become obsolete.
General Wood said the amounts OF
ammunition estimated as necessary
for the regular army are lower than
those OF any nrst class nation.
