When German siege guns hurled their
42-centimeter shells into old Louvain,
out of the wreck Of Belgium's seat of
learning there was born a vast oppor-
tunity for the universities Of the United
States.
The Government Bureau Of Educa-
ton saw that opportunity. and today

this country.
The Bureau of Education sees a vast
opportunity in the European war for
foreign soil. 1t is pointed out that IL
the great conflict even lasts for another

France, and England, as well as those
Of neutral Belgium. will find that the
war is taking a heavy toll Of their re-
sources.
Europe's Classrooms Empty.
It does not necessarily follow that the
university cities and towns OF Europe
wiz have to fall beneath the tide OF war
before this disruption is accomplished.
Tie enlistment of most of the men IN
Europe can bring this about. and even
today the class room population of Cam
bridge and oxford Universities has been
dccimated through the activities OF the
recruiting sergeants and the call OF
Kitchener for men.

both short of men after the capture OF
Cawnpore. and they coveted twenty
gunners of the Spurgin-Dickson force.
Finally. they could stand the tempta-
tion no longer. and with a 'pres-gang"
spirit in their minds. they went on
board the steamer Burrampootra and
picked out the best of them.
The poor fellows protested as well as
they knew how. manufacturing all the
Indian diseases they could think of, but
to no avail. Necessity overrode COM
passion.
AS soon as the men had been selected
Gen. Havelock ordered them to parade
and then proceeded with his usual
pomp to deliver to them a Napoleonic
Grafton.
My men," he began. 81 have come TO
thank you for so nobly volunteering
to assist your country in the hour OF
her great peril" The general halted
for breath.
The men evidently did not understand
the situation. and We're puzzled at the
precise meaning of the high-soundins
language. But one word was evident
to them. As the speaker halted. one
of the gunners stepped forward out OF
line. saluted in an awkward manner
and said:
Beg pardon. sir. we amt no volun-
teers at all; we only come because we
was forced to-"
Ready witted as the general was. this
new viw of the case took him so COM
pletely aback that he collapsed, and
with a word brought the parade to q
sudden end.

The patent fact about the whole dis
cussion is the singular lack of informa-
tion to the present German colonies
in South America, and especially in
Brazil. Nobody seems to know whether
there are 100000 Germans and per-
sons of German descent in Brazil or
100000.
The favorite figure is 100000. This
is given by those who, either through
ignorance or for ulterior motives, want
TO sound an alarm cry. Not long ago
Il former British minister to one of the
South American countries issued a
solemn warning through one of the
solemn London dailies to the people of
the United States against the peril of
the supposed million Germans in Brazil.
Before the war of the nations broke
out pan-Germanists in Berlin occasion
ally would hint mysteriously about fu-
ture expansion of the German empire
in South America, with the large Ger
mon colony in Brazil as the nucleus.

that the state practically had revo-
luionary government of its own. Yet
the German element in the state gave
the movement little sympathy.
The extent to which the Germans
have merged their nationality into
Brazilian nationality may be question
ed. yet it must be remembered that in
spite of retaining German identity in
language and customs there has been
intermarriage with Brazilians. and a
merged nationality has resulted. I'm

persons born in the country, although
the father is a foreigner, become Bra
lillian citizens. Boys brigades. which

Teutonic in appearance.
Some of the most influential men in
Brazil are the product of this merged
nationality. DIR. Lauro Muller, the
present minister of foreign affairs, and

ington filed at the State Department a
denial of the rumors that Germany in
tends, in case she comes out victorious,
to seek expansion in South America the
deliverance was commented on accord
ing to the prepossessions of the COM
mentators. But in most of the COM
ment there was the underlying assump-
tion that an extensive German colony
exists in Brazil that is extensive in
point of numbers.
Dismissing the controversial aspects
of the question as to German policy,
the real facts regarding Germany in
South America are of considerable mo-
ment at the present time, when Ger
many's trade with the countries of the
southern continent. which amounts to
s175,000.009 annually, has been de-
stroyed by the war.

Germanic European immigration to
Uruguay and Argentina moves north

Catharina.
The ultimate prospect Of a new Ger
many in Brazil may be better judged
by a review of the immigration figures
OF other countries In the period from
1920 to 1912, when there were $4,000
German immigrants to Brazil, the Por-
tuguese numbered $4,000 and the
Italians 100000. In 1912 the total
immigration was approximately 100000.
OF these, a fraction under 5000 were
Germans, $4,000 Portuguese and $4,000
Italians. Had the war of the nations
not interrupted the currents of migra-
tion, the same proportion of Germans
might be going to Brazil now as
against the same relative number of
Italians.
1t is likely that Blumenau, New Ham
burg and some of the other towns and
villages, which have maintained their
German identity for half century,
will continue to maintain it for a good
many years to come, but the natural
tendency of immigration is to surround
them and to permeate all southern Bra

in the war, is the only thing that could
materially increase the German popu-
lation in southern Brazil.
Usually the assumption has been that
a new Germany would set itself up as
an independent power, or else that Ger
many forcibly would seize a large
section of southern Brazil and estab-
lish a German colonial protectorate.
Both of these assumptions were based
on the supposed sympathy of the pres
ent German population in Brazil with
the German militaristic policy, and also
a much larger German population than
exists.
No one can doubt the devotion of the
Germans in Brazil to their associations
with the fatherland. They undoubtedly
sympathize with it in the present
struggle. But they do not care for
German bureaucratic government over
themselves. and even as an Independent
republic of their own they would have
little sympathy with German overlord-
ship in the sense that the pan-German-
lists of the fatherland regard it.
The mass of the Germans in Brazil,
notwithstanding that they read Ger
man newspapers, know as little of the
teachings of Treitsche and Bernhard
as did the people of the United States.
The political leanings of the Ger
mans and their loyalty to Brazil has
been brought in question in all the
discussion of the German policy. If

The musicians threw their souls into

undercurrent of sadness in the air, as
of regret for present necessity and the
throes of q faraway country. The
glories of an old. feeble monarch upon
a dual throne and the turmoil of bro
ken life, with the sorrows of lonely,
late years, were told in wonderful har-
mony as fidelity to Franz the kaiser
was proclaimed, and the appreciation
of an ally.

Though the German identity is MAIN
tanned as to language and customs, all
the Germans in Valdivia speak Span
ish. and there is no isolation from en-
vironment. as in the case of Blumenau
and New Hamburg in southern Brazil.
The second and third generations OF
the German colonists, while maintain
ing all their race characteristics, havy
become Chileans. and the number OF
German subjects is not large. In all
Chile there may be 10000 German sub
jects. though this is a liberal estimate.
Though Chile for so long has been
considered a British commercial col
ony, and although British financial and
political interests are still paramount.
the German influence through the early
colonists and through later immigra-
tiop has begun to rival the British
influence. The Chilean army was
placed on it's present footing by
German officer. Gen. Korner.
Germanys trade with Chile is not
dependent on Valdivia and other CEN
ters of German colonization. They are
merely supplementary to it, but they
help the general equation.
The German element in Chilean com
mercial and political life is doubtless
a factor in modifying what otherws.
would be a preponderant sentiment in
favor of England in the war of the
nations. When that war is over the
Germans and the descendants of the
Germans in Chile will be quick to re
sumo their business connections with
