Beunos Aires, Aug. 1-(By Mail)
South Americas republics today
are sitting over just such another
powder magazine as the one which ex-
ploded two years ago in Europe. In
many ways the situation recalls the
situation existing in Europe just a
few years before the outbreak of the
present struggle. The recent hint of
war between Venezuela and Peru and
Columbia and Ecuador brought South
America to sharp attention. They
might easily do what the Balkan
nixup did to Europe. ::
There is the same feeling that a
widespread clash cannot be prevent
ed, the same conflict Of interest, same
warning, same preparations, same
groaning under the weight of these
preparations and the same undercur-
rent of international ill-feeling.
If and when war comes the two
principal beligerents probably will be
Argentina and Chile.
Boundary Disputes
Not a country in South America
lacks a boundary dispute with some
other country. Each is a little AL
sace-LOrraine.
Chile and Argentina had nasty
dispute of the kind in 1898. It
reached the point of mutual mobiliZ-
alton. England interfered and ar
bitrated. Argentina got large area
OF land in Southern Patagonia which
Chile claimed should have gone to the
latter. This has ranked ever since.
Chill is very poor. If he could take
by force of arms, that land, she might
get another portion as indemnity. It
would give her all of South America
along her present Eastern boundary
as far South as the latitude of the
Chubuk River, which is about 1000
miles North of Cape Horn, and thence
to the southwark, the whole contin-

American Countries
OnBrink ofWar; Situation
Similar to That In Europe
ent, from the Pacific to the Atlantic
Chile Rich Nafi0n

ent, from the Pacific to the Atlantic
= Chile. Rich Nation
This would transform Chile into a
moderately rich nation, for Southern
Patagonia is fine cattle country and
there are stories of rich petroleum
deposits there. .,-.- J.
This would mean war with Argen-
tina.
Here is where Peru would get into
the situation. In 1879, as a result OF
war, Chile annexed the two south
ern Peruvian provinces. Peru has
been longing ever since for a chance
to get them back.
Bolivia is an inland country with
an ambition for a "window" on the
Pacific.
!. The two provinces Chile took from
Pacific and on the East by Bolivia
On their coast are the ports of Tacna
and africa. These would constitute a
"double window" if Bolivia could get
them. -
Chile probably would turn them
over to the Bolivians to defend from
Peru
Peru Too Strong
feru would be too strong for BOliV-
ia. but Ecuador and Columbia would
help give Peru tronucing to keep the
latter from trying to enforce claim on
parts of the Putumayo rubber coun-
try, concerning which Sir Roger Case
ment made a report few years ago
P Parenthetically, Columbia claims
certain territory in northern Peru
and surely would think the time fav-
orable for grabbing it.
This would be the cure for Peru's
friend, Venezuela, to invade Columbia
and secure slice of territory she
covets.
North of Argentina is Paraguay.
The Paraguayans have lost territory
to Argentina and are wild to revover
it. Many South Americans believe
Paraguay could count on military
support from Brazil.

the day the president read his message
to congress, that federal woman suf-
frage must be considered at this ses-

forcibly in the near future of the man

ital of this issue. They will be told
how they won thousands of western
women's votes by the distribution of
literature and by declarations of cam
paign speakers, intended to make the
women voters believe that President
Wilson himself was friend of nation
wide woman suffrage and that the way
to secure 1t was through the Demo-
cratic party.
At the same time these facts also
will be laid prominently before the wo-
men in the suffrage states so that they
may hold the Democratic party re-
and declarations.
