TEST NEW PUMP SUCCESSFULLY
Hioh Pressure Test Made by Fire Com
panies Thursday.

The first high pressure test or the
new city water pump, which has oeeh
in use off and on for few days, was
made Thursday afternoon at the con-
uer Of Main and Center streets by the
fire department. Five lines OF nose
were attached TO hydrants and pres
sure of 1O5 pounds was maintained
without any difficulty.
Altho the pressure al the Migrant
was only 1G5 pounds. the gauge at the
water works registered li5 pounds, the
difference being accounted for in the
loss OF pressure in the distance the
water has to travel to the hydrant. Re
markedly even and steady pressure
was kept up in all five streams, when
was not possible with the Odd pump
The new pump will be used resu-
larly from now on. y final pressure

7S42 less freight cars and SIS less To-
conotives in service in the United
States at the close OF the fiscal year
1915 than at the close OF 1914. says
the current number Of the Railway
Age Gazette" Notwithstanding the
natural growth in the demand for
railway equipment from year to
year" These figures, the publication
says, are shown in the annual statis-
teal statement OF the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission. In only one year
since 1890, has the number Of locomo-
tives shown a falling Off from the
previous year, and in only three years
during the last twenty-six has the
number OF freight cars In service
shown reduction from the number
of the previous year, according TO the
Gazette"
"On a theoretical basis. this falling
off in equipment in 1915. is a reflec-
tion OF a condition in support of
whose existence no argument is re-
quired, Transportation business was
slack" the paper says.
A practical point OF view, II says,
indicates that as a measure OF econ
omy the place Of missing numbers

BECNOS AIRES, Aug. 1.-(By MaiD
South Americas republics today are
sitting over just such another powder
magazine as the one which exploded
two years ago in Europe. In many
ways the situation recalls the situa-
ton existing in Europe just a few
years before the outbreak OF the pres
ent struggle. The recent hint Of war
between Venezuela and Peru and Co
lombia and Ecuador brought South
America to sharp attention. They
might easily do what the Balkan mix
up did TO Europe.
There is the same feeling that a
widespread clash cannot be prevented,
the same conflict Of interest, same
warnings, same preparations. same
groaning under the weight OF these
preparations and the same under cur
rent of international ill-feeling.
If war comes the two principal bel
ligerents probably will be Argentina
and Chile.
Not a country in South America
lacks boundary dispute with some
other country. Each is a little AL
saCe-Lorraine
Chile and Argentine had nasty dis
pute of the kind in lsOs. II reached the
point of mutual mobilization. England
interfered and arbitrated. Argentina
got a large area of land in Southern
Patagonia which Chile claimed should
have gone 10 the latter This has rank
led ever since.
Chile is very poor. If she could take
by force of arms that land, she might
get another portion as indemnity. 1t
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 ! 900 miles north
Of Cape Horn. and thence to the south
ward, the whole continent, from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic.
This would transform Chile into =
moderately rich nation, for Southern
Patagonia is a fine cattle country and
there are stories of rich petrolet depos-
its there.
This would mean war with Argentina.
Here is where Peru would get into the
situation. Tn 1879, as result Of war
Chile annexed the two southern Peru
Wan provinces. Peru has been longing
ever since for chance to get them
back.
Bolivia is an inland country with an
ambition for a window on tire Pacific
The two provinces Chile took from
Peru are bounded on the west by the
Pacific and on the east by Bolivia. On
their coast are the ports of Tacna and

cause both the Republican candidates

ISOLATION. says, I'VE are urging wO-
men to support the Republican party
and its presidential candidates also
because both stand for nationalism.
At a time in our history when, more
than ever, sectionalism needs to be
guarded against, we must have a lead
er and a party which speak and act
in no uncertain terms for unified
America, national outlook, a bal
anced government. and a nationalized
policy. We want women to see the
Importance of a national point OF
view.
Women in business realize uncer-
tainty is fatal to the spirit of all
enterprise and that it reacts upon
every man and woman employed. We
feel that if women as a whole realized
the value of a protective policy they
would give their time and their en-
thusiasm to the party that stands for
it. We are out to educate women
to see the value of IL.
I'VE urge the support OF all Re
publican women who wish to help
achieve for this country a national

real prosperity and preparedness, and
