WHEN WILSON WAS ANGRY.

Will Reflect You Sure"

New York, Dec. elbow President
Wilson "lost his temper" during the con-
ference with the heads of the railroad
brothershoods just prior TO the passage
of the Adamson eight hour law, when
one of the delegates told him his sup
port of the measure undoubtedly would
mean his reelection, was related here
last night by Warren S, Stone, president
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi'
neers.
"When we went to see the president
said Mr.. Stone, speaking before the So
ciety for Ethical Culture, "he asked US
what we were trying to do. We explained
our side and told him that we Were
working for an eight hour law and or
that point we could not arbitrate. lie

A. B. c. PEACE PLAN
DID NOT MATERIALIZE
South American Countries Failed to Get
Together as They Had Planned
Some OF the Reasons for
the Failure.

Santiago, Chile. Nov. 81 Correspond
enco Of the Associated Press The fail.
ure of the proposed A. II, G. conference,
which was 10 have met in Rio de Janeiro
ON Nov. Is. has prompted editorial com.
mcnt throughout the entire continent
and the echo il vet reverberating.
DIR. Lauro Muller, the prime minister
Of the brazilian cabinet, is said to have
invited the Chilean and Argentine gov
ernments to send delegates to a confer
ence to be held at Rio de Janeiro on Nov.
10, the 27th anniversary OF the proclama-
ton OF the republic of Brazil.
The exact purpose OF the gathering
was not made public, but II was under
stood that DIR. Muller desired the nations
named TO enter into peace pact binding
each 10 submit 10 arbitration any dispute
and in any event 10 wait one year before
resorting to arms. The republic OF Chile
accepted the invitation, as did the Ar
gentine tentatively. A change OF govern
ment in the latter country came before
the date of the suggested meeting and
the new foreign minister strongly OPP
posed the plan. As il was necessary for
the Argentine Congress 10 ratify the pro-
posal and as they failed TO do so, Brazil
was notified that her neighbor would not
participate. Chile then withdrew her ae'
ceptance.
The most radical comment on the al
fair was published few days ago IN
Chilean journal of Socalistie tendencies.
Under the caption: Uruguay, the Serbia
of South America" the writer claimed
that a general South American war was
as inevitable as had been the great Eu-
ropean conflict Tor years before the flare
of August. 1914. "Argentine will never
agree to a peace pact with her neighbors
while the matter of the La Platte bound
ary line is in dispute" said the author.
The line runs in mid channel where the
river. between 40 and, at places, 90
miles wide. separates Uruguayan from
Argentinian territory.
The Argentine government has spent
immense sums in dredging the river from
its mouth off the port of Monte Video to
point opposite Buenos Aires, distance
of nearly 200 miles. in order that large
ocean steamers might continue to dock
in the Argentinian metropolis. A series
Of islands once claimed by Uruguay are
now held on the other side to be Argen'
tinian because OF the great expenditures
in improving the river channel. This, to-
gether with boundary dispute between
Brazil and the Argentine has, according
to the Chilean author made the relations
between the three countries somewhat
uncertain
The writer maintains that it is wei
known in Chile that secret alliance OF
both an offensive and defensive character
has for some time existed between Uru
guay and Brazil what viii Chile's at

DEFICIENCY MEASURE
This Will Be Spent Before
April Payments
$4,000 a Day

Washington, Dec. 2l.-Dependent fam
tiles of militiamen now on the Mexican
border are given financial assistance by
an urgent deficiency bill passed by the
House Yesterday. OF the S4,57s,25o pro-
yided, all but 1928 $50 would be used for
the dependents. The balance is for
wages of workmen and contingent ex-
penses at the Denver, Philadelphia and
San Francisco minis and for expenses oil
the supreme court of the District of Co
lumbia.
Congressman Fitzgerald of New York
who led the debate in behalf of the com
mittee on appropriations, said that the
S425O00 for the benefit of the depend
ent families probably would be expended
before April |. While there are approx
mately 100000 militiamen on the border
now. the estimate was based upon the
assumption that the number during the
coming winter months would be approx
mately $4,000. The miltiamen from
Pennsylvania, it was stated, probably
would be recalled in few days.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said that only S3OO,0oC
had been expended of the initial S2,ooo''
600 appropriated to help those lett de,
pendent by the soldiers who answered
President Wilson's call. Payments, ne
said. were being made at the rate OF
$4,000 a day. There was considerable
frivolity during the debate. The House
which had been sitting as committee OF
the whole, reported the bill without
amendment. The measure was passed
n moment later by voice vote.

'While we have no boundary dispute

Peru. Thirty-six years ago we won by
conquest their rich territories OF lacna

force of arms. We have not colonized
them. They are not yet Chileanized OF

Bolivian. 1900 Peruvians and 5000 Chi
cans. but of these latter 1900 form the
military garrison and the remaining 400
are civil employees or servants oil the
military. The people OF the districts
call for a plebiscite TO determine To which
government they belong and the Chilean
government dare not accede to their re-
ouest. Peru knows this and would wei
come a war which would help her regain
her lost provinces. So in the final line
