suggestion Of the selection OF Peru as
the meeting place Of the next con-
gress has been very we'll received by
the delegates.
ChiIeans Favorable.
II IL especially notable that the dele
yates from Chile are heartily in favor of
the selection. And the attitude of the
delegates from Chile IL said to be the
best reflection Of the Pan-American
spirit that has pervaded the sessions of
the present congress-. for the reason
that Chile and Peru have been engaged
in more disputes and In one or two
DISASTROUS wars with each other over
questions Of national character.
The interest OF the delegates 10 the
congress today II largely centered on
the meeting of the congress tonight at
Continental Memorial Tall. when Pres
ident Wilson will address the delePates.
The Tlace of meeting was changed from
the Hall Of the Americas, in the Pan
American IIniOu hMii1inO n hA
tinental Memorial Hall because the
seating capacity OF the Hall Of the
Americas would not accommodate the
delegates.
