TREATY 500 YEARS OLD.
Portugal Stands by Her Treaty Obli-
CATIONS to the Letter.

Washington, March 3.-Portugal
entered the war, the Portuguese le-
CATION announced to-day, because
Great Britain requested her to do so,
in fulfllment Of treaty obligations
dating back to 1878. Portugal did
not enter the war before, the Portu-
guese minister announced, because
Great Britain had not called on her
to do so.
A statement outlining Portugal's
position, issued by Viscount de Alte,
the Portuguese minister, said:
Portugal Is drawn into the war as
a result Of her long standing alliance
with England, an alliance that has
withstood unbrOken the strain Of 500
years.
Like Belgium, Portugal desires
nothing that belongs to any other ma
ton; she has nothing to gain and
much to lose in the present conflict
But she is ready, Notwithstanding, to
aid England to the full extent Of her
resources-'whether great or small
because the treaties in force compel
her to do SO and because her people
firmly believe that international good
faith, as evidenced by the fulfillment
Of treaty obligations, which is the
principle for which Great Britain is
fighting. provides the only basis on
which intercourse between civilized
nations can securely stand.''
