Although this law has been written
into the Uruguayan statutes for nearly
two years only a few have taken ad-
vantage Of it; in fact, divorce today is
very rare In Uruguay. The reason is.
however, not any excelling degree OF
marital adaptability among the people.
but the fact that very few legal mar
riages are contracted.
Among the middle and lower classes
in Uruguay the legal form of marriage
is almost never observed. Yet the

challenge comparison with any ma
tionality on earth. The common law
marriages which are the rule, espe-
cially in the rural districts, are held
sacred by the population, and separa-

divorces in our own country.

similar to the fight of the late Tom L.

markable coincidence that these two
men, similar in their physical and
mental characteristics, although living
at opposite corners of the earth, should
have evolved methods so nearly alike.

operated by the Sociedad Commercial
de Montevideo, a British concession
which has obtained a long-term fran
chise in that city. Acknowledging that
no legal pressure could be put upon
the English company by attacking it's
franchise, Battle employed the weapon
of competition, just as Mayor johnson
did in Cleveland.
He sent to France and England for
motor buses, and placed their opera

of public works. The first government

ORDONEZ URUGUAY,
GREATEST

The rough draft that will be submitted
to the convention contemplates a COL
lege of nine members. One member
will be elected to the college each
senior member will act as president
of the commission. a post which will
make him the titular head of the re-
publ
whether the members will be elected
by the joint assembly of the national
legislature, as in the Swiss system, or
by the people in direct election, Is
yet to be decided, and many other de-
tails will be left to the deliberations
of this body.
If senor Battle were responsible for
this plan as his sole contribution to
political science he would be a figure
of great interest; but collegiate gov
ernment Is only one Of the many gov
ernmental reforms either advocated by
him or put into effect because of his
influence. For instance. he is serious
ly advocating the abolishment of Sun
day as legal holiday in Uruguay and
the substitution of a plan giving all
workers one day of rest In each six in
stead of in seven days as it is through
out the Christian. world.
Battle believes that his plan would
bring about great commercial pros
perity for his country. His plan Is to
write into the constitution of Uruguay
must have one day off in each six days.
and to supplement this with laws pre-
scribing the method for granting the
workers rest day. 1t is his plan to
ganized in shifts, so that each day one
shift will be having its holiday, while
industry will be continuous seven
days a week.
AS may be inferred from the fact
that he seriously advocates such an in
novation. Battle Is not on good terms
with the church. The man himself is
an atheist. and through his influence
church and state have been nearly sep
arated in Uruguay.
His views on the marriage question
are also extremely radical. Through
his influence Uruguay has what is
probably the most liberal divorce law
of any civilized nation on earth. Di-
vorce in Uruguay can be obtained
practically by mutual consent. A wife
can obtain a divorce upon her mere
request. without bringing to the courts
any legal grounds for separation.
The only Limitation Is that the Judge
must make two attempts within a year
to reconcile the husband and wife. If

Some Of the reports relating to this

q good many of the military text
books which informed inspiring stu
dents how the next war was to be

this influence or any shadowy doubt
about it's effectiveness such uncertain
ty should have been cleared away by
the artillery operations of the Prus-
SLAMS against the Austrians and later
against the French In 1856 and 1904.
Japanese military men gripped the
idea when they went to war with Rus
sia. With the incoming Of the effective

every one having any acquaintance
with the subject, excepting certain
that the cannon was the weapon with
which future battles would be fought.
Yet military men, or the great major

talk about artillery as an auxiliary

maintains an open mind On any prob
lem, and he confessed to me that the
commission plan had been advanced for
discussion SO that its merits and de-
merits might be thoroughly debated. 1t
is possible, of course, that In the con-
stitutional convention which will con-
slider the change Senior Battle will be-
come convinced of the unwisdom OF the
innovation, in which case it will most
certainly be abandoned.
Battle Is not crude in his rule in
Uruguay. He does not obtrude his die
tatorship. He works by suggestion and
in conference with his lieutenanta
rather than by any brutal issuing OF
orders. 1t is the observation of foreign
residents of Uruguay. however. that
whatever Senior Battle advocates is
adopted, and consequently although the
coming constitutional convention may
seem to have reached it's conclusions
after deliberate consideration OF the
subject, it is very sure to conclude to
do whatever Senor Battle determines
upon.
Twice this remarkable man has been
president of his country. The constitu-
tion of Uruguay follows most OF the or
ganic laws of South America In forbid
ding consecutive terms for presidents:
eligible, or for some other reasons does
not desire the post. he names the man
who will be president. and thus con-
trolls him absolutely.
1t is rumored in Montevideo that the
great man of the nation is again ex-
pecting to become president, but if his
commission plan is adopted he will un-
doubtedly take a place in the college
of governors and dominate that body
with his personality. The same control
which is his over the executive branch
he also exercises in the legislature,
which obeys his gloved commands be-
cause of his powerful sway over the
Uruguayan public. He owes much of
his personal hold on the people to the
Montevideo newspaper of which he is
the owner.
In my interview with him he not
once assumed to be the author of the
change proposed for his country. but
his entire manner carried the assunp-
tion that all OF the details Of the plan
