MONTEvIDEO. Urug


MONTEvIDEO. Uruguay.
g = RUGUAY is one Of the most up
to-date of the South American
IL II republics. Within the past
~ few years it has been adopting
all modern improvements and the gov
eminent is sending experts over the
world in search of new things. 1t has
its scientists, engineers and agricul-
tural experts travelling in Europe and
the United States and it has been i'm
porting the best brains of other coun-
tries to help in it's work. During the
past administration the government
has manifested a strong socialist1c
tendency. The last president believed
in government ownership. He bought
out the old line insurance companies.
and established a government insur-
ance department and he even considered
the taking over of the meat-pacl1ing
establishments and having the farmers
sell their cattle. hogs and sheep direct
to the government for killing and eX-
port abroad. He took over the real es-
tate mortgage bank, laid out plans for
old age pensions. instituted market reg
ulations to reduce the cost of living,
and started a number of other move
ments which are now under way.
*
During the past week I have spent
some time in the department of indus
tries. talking with the officials about
the new movements for the develop
ment of Uruguay and its people. The
department has special bureau of in
formation and publicity, and it is quite
as far advanced in this respect as our
Depa rtments of Agriculture and of Com
merce. The bureau of information has
supplied me with photographs and dia-
grams showing the growth of Uruguay
and in addition many reports in Span
ish and French. The bureau has a mu-
scum or exposition of all the mineral
products and manufactures now being
turned out here. 1t has Photographic
department and it is making moving
pictures to be exhibited throughout the
republic and to be sent to other coun-
tries for the advertisement of its re-
sources.
In this letter I will mention some of
the newest things that are under way.
Take for instance what is being done
along educational lines. The last ad-

He loved society and had one convic-

1t was almost fifteen years ago, and,

Comtesse Louis de Montesquiou is a sis
ter-in-law of Rita Bell, whose uncle is
James Gordon Bennett and who is her
self Comtesse Paul d'Aramon. The
mother of these Aramons was equally
an American (Fisher), sister of Prin-
cess Gherardesca, of a family long set
tied in Florence. The Baronne Jean
de Belief was a daughter of the Prod

married a son of the American Mar

1t was q noble effort to protect Amer

Massenet in accepting the presidency
of its jury for competitive examinations
declared the American Conservatory
to be Interesting and necessary"
1t was not. 1t was neither interesting
to girl students nor necessary to bud
ding composers.

experience, land paddle their own ca

And Washington got married.

of family dignity, his brother Eusebio
Machain having preceded him. He de-

how can -" said Washington, with
my name?" He preferred his United
States citizenship.
Then came the war.
And see how useful it is to know
everybody.
When they were fitting up the Neuil-
ly Hospital all was in rush, the
wounded were coming and the electric
light was not yet in the new building.
All workmen were modified. Munich
pal bureaus were in confusion. Lopp
deposited 1000 francs from his pocket
and secured the authorizations. On
the corner he met a retired contractor
who had helped build the Washington
palace.

Who is Washington Lopp?
He is the man who knows everybody
In Paris. He refused to be minister of
Paraguay. He is friend of the King
of Spain. He is i member of the trans
portation committee. He gets passes to
the front. He is director general of
American Red Cross work in France.
Oh. you must be mistaken. On condi-
ton that he doesn't tell it,
SO they dispute. 1 go to the man.
1T is true that you are-

And, sparring so. in Loppian style, he
suddenly turned serious. 1T is not for

Tourist TraueI Heauy

Tourist travel has been heavy during the past week through the country, most of them going from here to Grand Canyon thence to Williams and west. The travel. according to garage owners, will average close to fifty machines per day for the last week, and the summer travel has only just commenced.
 The big rush of western travel over the Old Trails Highway is not expected to begin in earnest until toward the middle of the month, and if present indications count for anything, will average a good 100 autos per day. Co conino Sun.
