"CRISIS OF WAR is Now"
SAYS ADMIRAL BERESFO7D

LONDON. December Eve are in a
position of unparalleled gravity" said
Admiral Baron Beresford in an address
at meeting to support a stronger
naval policy. The crisis of the war is
now.
Since enemy submarines have trans
ferred their activities from the head
lands and shallow waters to the blue
sea. the menace requires new strategy
and new tactics to deal with it, but so
far no definite and systematic methods
have been taken for suppressng the
menace.
THE Germans are now going to send
submarines to the Pacific and to wher-
ever British trade routes are"
Baron Beresford advocated continual
aerial attacks on the German base at
Zeebrugge and the arming of mer-
chantmen, and continued:
1T is a most unsatisfactory state of
affairs. Thousands of tons of food
which were waiting to come to Eng
land have been diverted to Germany"
The meeting adopted resolution
calling for more effective blockade
and for more efficient measures to deal
with the submarine question.

WAR MUST Be FOUGHT
TO MILITARY CONCLUSION

LONDON. December 2.-"The war
must be fought to a military conclusion
on the west and east fronts. with the
blockade playing only secondary
part" said Lord Robert Cecil. minister
of war trade. in discussing with the
Associated Press the latest develop
ments in the world conflict.
THE condition of Rumanla, Lord
Robert continued, causes US grave re-
greet. But there is no reason to suppose
the operations there will affect the re-
suit of the war. which must be fought
out on the main fronts. The condl-
lions under which we will accept peace
overtures remain the same as outlined
several months ago."
Unaware of Peace Offer.
Asked concerning the origin OF the
allegation in the Morning Post editorial
that Germany had offered the entente
powers generous peace terms in return
for a free hand in Central and South
Anne RIGA, Lord Robert Cecil said:
"Of course, it is well known that
Germany had very definite ambitions
in Central and South America even De
fore the war, but l am unaware OF any
peace having been offered US on the
terms mentioned by the Morning Post.
We have no knowledge that such over
lures ever have been made here.

of her people to keep up with the march

that under pressure Of necessity she

no eXaggeration to say that English
Industrial efficiency has made greater
strides in the twenty-seven months
since August 1914. than in the fifteen
or twenty years previous. 1t is an as
founding fact that she is now, in addi-
ton to producing a large part of her
own army munitions and equipment
and furnishing considerable shares to
her allies, keeping her exports of gem

at large pretty near their normal level.

Morning Post Argument.

The London Morning Post in its issue
of Tuesday argued that the Germans
were willing for immediate peace and
would give the entente powers every
thing they desired, but only on the one
condition that Germany be allowed a
free hand in Central and South Amer
lea.
that that condition has been put for
ward, of course. discreetly and unoffi-
cially, by the German government and
that it has been rejected by the allies.
The editorial added that at any time
in the last ten years I'VE could have
had an agreement with Germany by
allowing her free hand across the At
lantic.''

Americans Advised by Expert
to Study German Methods
in South America.

tive of the Department of Commerce
has contributed an article on Brazil
ian Trade After the War to de luxe
edition of the South American Maya
zine. devoted to the general subject OF
Brazil, in which he advises that the
methods used by Germany in gaining
South American trade be especially
studied by Americans entering that
field
Mr.. Hutchinson says. in part
within the past twenty months l
have visited practically every city and
town of commercial Importance in
Brazil. and everywhere have talked
with the leading merchants and made
a point of putting this question: Will
it last% With relatively few excep-
tions, the answer has been, NO. AS
soon as the war is over we are going
back to our old connections. Are they
right? Is this merely the conservatism
of old business affiliations, and are we,
in spite of them. getting such a foot
hold by presenting them real advan-
tages that, although they now think
they are going back to the old con-
nections, they will in the end change
their minds and find it desirable to con-
tinue the new connections!

Study in United States.

while it is quite possible to study
dentistry in Brazil. and while many dc
SO successfully. it is remarkable how
many Brazilian dentists at present
practicing in the country have obtain
ed their professional education in the
United States. 1t seems quite evident
that the stud. of the French language
which is thoroughly generalized
through Brazil, has had much to do
with the enormous purchases of French
technical books, Instruments etc. 1t is
certainly favorable symptom to see
Ensl obtaining recognition that
may tend to increase not only the pres
tige of the United States as Il teaching
nation. but the exchange of nod
tiles well.
Among the questions which are fire.
Quently asked of the Rio de Janeiro
consulate general is one concerning
the requirements for the practice OF
medicine in Brazil. There are only TWO
American physicians or surgeons in
this country: both of them. born of
American parents residing in Brazil,

physicians or surgeons who think of
settling in Brazil to know that in
order to pass the required examination
here they must be prepared on the
usual medical-university subjects and
must pass an examination in the Por-
tuSuese language without an inter-

Similar letters are often received
here from dentists. to which formal

partnership with their former en-
ployer or branched out for themselves
with knowledge of the language and

won for them among the people here.
IN order to avoid misconceptions and
possible bitterness ii has been the
practice of this office, when addressed
on this subject. always to state clearly
10 the professional man who is coming
here under contract that the cost Of
living in Brazil may safely be reckoned
at one-half more-some people say it
is twice as much-than the cost of liv-
ing in cities OF similar size in the
United States"
