.STRONG PATRIOTISM IN BRAZIL
Aristides MOnteirO Tells Of Conditions

president Wilson's policy of
watchful waiting to let the Mexican
people work out their political diff
culties is a great step toward better
relations between the South Ameri-
can republics and the United States"
declared Aristides Monterio, a stu
dent in the School of Journalism, in
a talk on his native country, Brazil,
before a group of University students
at the home of Dean Eldon r. James
yesterday afternoon.
The Brazilians," he said, 'are
patriotic for their country, as the
Americans are for the United States.
They are interested in the affairs of
Brazil, not thinking of the neighbOr-
ing republics enviously nor with mo-
tives of aggression. In fact, Brazil
ians as a whole know very little of
the other South American countries.
because very little trade is caliied on
with them. The Brazilian, when
thinking of the outside world thinks
of Germany, the United States.
France, Italy, Russia and England, the
producing countries. Other Latin
American countries have developed
nothing of importance which Brazil
does not have"

FORMER COLUMBIAN SAW
REAL TORTURES IN CHINA

That the conception the student ge,s
from a study of foreign countries is
often far from a true picture of the
actual conditions, is a fact which has
been deeply impressed upon the mind
of f. II. Austin Of Honolulu, I. H., a
former Columbia resident. Mr.. Aus
lin, having recently finished four
years service in the United States
Navy. came to Columbia for visit
to his boyhood friends before entering
the importing and exporting business
at Honolulu.
According to Mr.. Austin, the con-
ception of the student regarding con-
ditions in different countries is per-
haps farthest from the real facts in
the case of China. China is regarded
as a country all of whose people are
heirs of a civilization which is one
of the wonders of ancient history.
The Chinese are looked upon as a de
cadent people many generations be-
hind the times, but still endowed with
a reasonable amount of civilization.
The experiences of Mr. Austin contra
diet this idea, however.
81 have seen signs Of barbarism in
China worse than anything | have
seen in Japan, India, Australia, Rus
sia or any other country" said Mr.
Austin this morning. in speaking of
his experiences while in the navy
''We were often allowed to make in
land journeys. with thirty days leave
OF absence. We would take a river
steamer or a junk when making in
land trips i'm China and could journey
as far as Tibet.

If YOU are a good friend of Josiah
Main. who lives at 5li William street,

You may notice an old sketch of a

the architects sketch for the original
Academic Hall, which was erected
during lSiO-lSi3, and stood in the
center of the Quadrangle, where the
Columns now stand. In fact, as you
know, the Columns were a part OF the
old building. which burned January

For many years the old drawing has

they marched TO the Quadrangle, and

A Thought for the Day


On a Portrait of Keats.
Beloved John Keats your poets mind and
heart
Left trac'ry on your poets face that verse
Alone can tell about No prOser's art
The hlming Of that face can e'er rehearse
The soft fire Of the eyes that seems to
nurse
The tender curves of mouth and chin: the
brOws
uplift in pleased surprise; and there the
curse
or thrObbing loneliness Who could arouse,
or share your joys, or go where called
your poets vows?
