English for breakfast and Spanish for dinner,
and not nfrequently French, German, Italian or

highest aesthetic importance. The majestic
scenery which surrounds Lago Manuel Huapi
whose western arms extend like deep lords
into the heart of the Andes and lie unfath-

the idea that here was the appropriate site for

The Americans. who knew our parks al
home and had even had hand in helping
to establish them, were reused to enthusiasm
to support Moreno's idea. Enlightened Ar
gentines, such as Dr. Ramos-Mexia and Dr.
Ruiz-Moreno, the Director General OF Ma
tional Territories, entered vigorously into the
campaign. Articles and photographs were pub

From what | can gather, complaints are per-

the fault of the complainant. From personal
observation, a real grievance may lie against
the detail of guards from over the sea When
an Algerian Turco or Senegal negro hears
of warfare it implies personal enmity. A pris-
oner to him means foe that has to be whipped
into submission, on whom he is free to visit
any brutality-and deserve praise for it. The
African also remembers the superiority the
white man generally assumes over him-at best
the African is held somewhat better than cat

retaliatc TO show and make felt his temporary

The General Stats plans were at fault. An
other officer gave it as his opinion that
complete subjugation Of Belgium should have
preceded the forward movement into France.
Such an enemy, animated by the feeling OF in

perate struggle for his existence, deserves not
to be underestimate. The same as the all too
hasty advances, by Germany and Austria both.

Scheldt, some thirty miles above Antwerp
Among the officers the phases OF enceinte
and investment Of Antwerp were uppermost
in discussion We heard feet of English
transports were ready to embark 100000 men
of the garrison, with government and King at
a moments notice, but would have to steam up
toward Termonde, as below Antwerp extend
impracticable swamps, all the way to the
Dutch frontier. With the passage on the
Scheldt safely blocked below, and all surround
ing territory strongly held, there remained Tor
the interned Begians no possibility OF escape.
Either to offer us battle, or cross over into
Holland: they had the choice. Both equally
favorable to US. We had full confidence in the
appreciation of these contingencies by our
General Staff, with proper action and strategic
preparation to meet them.
We, at Termonde, were to force an engage

in case they approached us. Remember, be 1t

which King, government, some $4,000 soldiers

loophole, with consequences to us of utmost
seriousness.
