banks are a wilderness For the most
part they are covered with jungle. You

that fly here and there along the shores

100000 people. and is the social, pollti-
cal and financial center OF the Upper
But before l describe the Paraguayan
capital ] want to give you general
idea of the country. In the first place,
it's location. Paraguay lies in the heart
of the South American continent, mucn
the same as Illinois lies In the heart
of the North American continent. 1t Is
at the junction of two mighty rivers,
having great waterways that carry ltS
products out to the sea.
The country is divided into two parts
by the rivers that wash it. On the east
is Paraguay proper, territory more
than twice the size of Indiana, lying
in the arms of the Paraguay and the
Alto-Parana rivers, and on the west
running northward toward BOLIVIA,
bordered on the south by the P1lco-
mayo, is the vast wilderness known as
the Chaco, which would make two
Ohios and leave some to spare. The
republic of Paraguay all told con-
tains I7I.OOO square miles. 1t has
enough land to make three Alabamas,
four Virginias or three Kentuckys. with
Arkansas thrown in for good. measure.
None of the country has been carefully
surveyed, and some of 1t has not been
explored 1t has millions of acres as
wild as when Sebastian Cabot first sail
ed up the Parana; and some of its ter
ritories have never been -trodden by the
foot of white man.
And still this great country has only
a few more people than either Balti-
more or st. Louis. 1t has perhaps S00,-

deavoring to do so for years. and there
are now a number of colonies of
Italians, Germans and English scat
tered here and there throughout the
republic. One German colony has 700
Inhabitants 1t is composed Of Ger
zilians of German descent. Another
colony is at San Bernardino. This is
the chief summer resort, being situated
on beautiful lake. There is another
German colony about sixty miles from
Villa Rica. A little north of here, on
ment named after President Hayes, on
account of his decision of a territorial
dispute between Paraguay and Argen-
tina in Paraguay's favor. The colony
is called Villa Hayes, but the words
are pronounced here as though they
way the Spanish pronounce Hayes.
President Hayes ran temperance ad-
ministration. and 1t will be remem-
bered that he shuddered when 1t was
proposed to put wines on the table at
the White House. The city named after
and 1t is now grinding the cane
through sugar mills made in Cincin-
natl. and distilling the juice into a rum
that will kill at forty rods.
Another colony of note Is that named
'"The Twenty-f1fth of November" It is
on some of the land that was originally
given to the New Australian Associa-
tion. 1t has several thousand head of
cattle and mules. and its inha bitants
are 5000 Paraguayans, with only few
foreigners among them.
AS to the New Australian colony 1t
self, that still has some of the original
members who have come down to mod
ern business principles and have es-
tablished a sawmill and several stores.
They have q school with an English

can be no doubt of that. The law is on
the statute book, and all that is re-
quired is to fix the date of its inau-
guration That does not necessarily
mean. however. that the present law
will stand in it's every dot and comma.
Even its warmest friends admit that
il is capable of improvement, and most
of them would be willing to see it al
tered considerably to satisfy the fears
and save the pride of Ulster.
What form these changes will take
depends on two factors, the attitude of
Ulster and in a far greater degree the
attitude of the English unionists.
There is no harm in saying that Sir
Edward Carson is an irreconcilable. He
says so himself few days ago he
declared that nothing had been settled
as regards the Irish question by the
pa parliamentary truce. and that as soon
as the war is over the Ulster volun-
teers will be ready again to resist by
force of arms the inclusion of Ulster
in the territory to be governed by an
Irish parliament
But what of Sir Edwards followers7
1T is true that in Belfast there are
few of the older men still talking in
the same way, and the Ulster volun-
teers are still to be seen drilling and
marching. They vastly different

were before the war. Then one saw q

of the men in the ranks are bearded

the west and south, whom they would
have met in battle II the threats of the
irreconcilables before the war had been
carried out 1t is inconceivable that
these men cannot have learned to
know and appreciate one another in the
stern school of real war, and it Is un-
believable that they will want to fight
one another after fighting together
against a foe like the Germans. 1t is
far more likely that they will join
hands and say to the politicians that
ing better than to manage the affairs
of their own country together.
An incident which shows that this
new spirit is already dawning occurred
where a wounded Belfast soldier was
telling the story of a fight in which
his regiment-he had been serving in
an English unit-had been badly
cut up.
There were only two companies of

that we were done for. but suddenly

singing. 1t was the Connaught Rang

ing the minds of the peasantry. the
average farmers lad Is not in a posi-
tion to distinguish between the various
brands of patriots. and he is much dis
posed to take the written word for
gospel. This has been counteracted
now by a vigorous campaign in the
country districts by the members OF
the Irish party, many of whom have
obtained commissions and raised COM
panies and even battalions among their
own constituents.
Perhaps the most successful recruiter
in Ireland. however, has been Sergt.
Mike O'Leary, v. c., of the Irish Guards.
the man who took a German position
mans, and captured five more in doing
it OLeary was sent over to Ireland
with the Irish Guards Band, and he
has been making tour of the villages
telling the lads about his exploit They
have simply fiocked to join, and the
writer is told that in two weeks
O'Leary and his little company enlisted
two full new battalions of the Irish
Guards.
Ireland's response to the call for
troops is all the more creditable be-
cause she has not had an opportunity
of realizing the war to anything like
the same extent as England. For one
thing, prices in Ireland have risen lit
tie, if any, while in England the cost
of living has gone up about 25 per cent.
ing, and until recently very few wound
ed have been sent home to Ireland, the
Irish wounded having been cared for IN
the British hospitals. Now. however.
the convalescents are coming back to
visit their homes. and the young men
all over the country are beginning to
hear first-hand tales of the glorious
deeds of their neighbors and friends.
All this is helping along the new
spirit, for in hundreds of cases the
$I,4 nd
the south travel home together and lie
for weeks side by side in the hospitals.
They get to know each other, and they
carry the gospel Of good fellowship to
their own towns and villages. There
are cases where men from the north
and south who made friends during the
war have been visiting each other in
Ireland, and the result Is that some of
the southern villages have seen an
Orangeman for the first time and
horns and hoofs, while In the north the
Inhabitants of more than one village
have been introduced on equal terms
to "papish," who turns out to be q
brave man and a good fellow.
This process has been going on even
to a greater extent among the class
from which the officers are drawn. In
Ireland the workingmen of both parties
at least know something about each
other. They meet in the factory and
the field and at their games. In the
middle and professional classes. how
ever, the religious line is so strictly
drawn that a Roman Catholic rarely
enters Protestant house. or vice versa.
Now the officers of both faiths are COM
pelled to meet each other at mess and
in barracks and are finding out that
they are all very much the same after
all. The writer saw a couple Of illu-
ninating letters the other day from a
young Dublin man. q Roman Catholic,

The colony owns about 10000 acres OF
land. It has four or five thousand head
OF cattle, and something like 1000
horses.
This colony was established many
years ago. by some Australians who
came to Paraguay to live together after
the principle of the Golden Rule. They
sold out their property In Australia
and put their money into a general
fund. They used a part of this to
charter a ship, and saved the rest TO
go into farming in Paraguay. In order
to have the more money upon landing,
they concluded to do the greater part
OF the work on the ship themselves, and
allotted certain duties among the diff
ferent members of the colony. They
had hardly left Australia, however, be-
fore dissatisfaction arose, and the
Golden Rule was kicked into the air
higher than the tops of the Andes.
There was quarreltng from start to fin
ish, and one of the recreations during
the meals of the voyage was throwing
the dishes on the table at one another.

cannot but increase greatly in value
within the near future. Indeed. / doubt
if there is anywhere else on the globe so
large block of good, easily accessible
unoccupied country. Paraguay proper
is considered the garden of all South
America. Much of it is high and dry
and it will raise coffee. tobacco, sugar
cane and corn. Thousands of acres are
now in mandioca, a tuber somewhat
like the potato, and there are vast
tracts of open country, some Of which
are covered with cattle.
The land seems to be the natural
home of the orange. The first trees
were brought here by the Jesuits not
long after Columbus discovered Amer
lea, and the birds have carried the
seeds so that you now find oranges
growing wild In the woods. The viii
lagos are built in orange groves, and
rots on the ground. There are great
orange orchards, and during the season
a fleet of fruit steamers goes in long
caravan down to the Argentine. Al
that time the banks of the Paraguay
river have mountains of oranges piled
near the wharves of the towns. and you
see long lines of Paraguayan girls car
rying the golden fruit in baskets on
their heads to the steamers. The
oranges are brought in on carts. con-
The oranges are handled like so many
potatoes The driver backs his cart
against one of the piles on the banks
and dumps out the fruit just as our
workmen dump dirt in repairing the
roads. In the ordinary season oranges
are really worth little moro than the
dirt Of our country. A cartfu1 will sell
for SIS. and you can buy all you can
eat for 2 or 3 cents.

So far there has been no breeding ur
of the fruit trees. There are but few
navel oranges. and much of the fruit
is practically wild. Nevertheless, It ts
delicious, and the country might be
made a great orange grove for the
dense population that Is bound to some

continent.
Paraguay is raising good sugar cane

A couple of weeks later another letter
announced that he had come to the
conclusion that the Orangemen were
very good fellows indeed and promised
to make excellent officers. There is
not the slightest doubt that the
Orangemen received him with the same
conclusion on better acquaintance.
