The interests of these three European
allies together far exceed those of Ger

therefore, can be understood why the

Peruvian sentiment, was hostile to Ger
many. Yet Its influence was not ex-
erted in a concerted way as means OF
offsetting the German propaganda
The determining factor is really the
American influence. American invest
ments in Peru have been relatively
large as compared with Investments in
other South American countries. They
go back to the early seventies when the
American. Henry Meiggs, built for the
Peruvian government the most wonder
full railway in the world.
Later came the group of American
mining capitalists. which acquired the
famous Cerro de Pasco copper mines
and spent some 25,O00,000 in Develop
ing them, the elimination in the devel-
opment being the completion two years
ago of enormous hydro-electric smelt-
ing works. Considerable American
capital, moreover, is invested in mines
outside the Cerro de Pasco region.
Enterprising Americans also have OBJ
tanned railway concessions, but the diff
Guilty of obtaining capital during the
last few years has prevented the con-
summation of these projects. The Pc
ruvian government always has pur-
sued a very liberal policy in the way of
railway subsidies, but when the hard
times came a few years ago. and 1t
found itself without the means Of pay

some internal troubles, no serious dis
orders have occurred. About the only
serious prospect was the prospect OF
a popular revolution If the government
took a pro-German attitude.
German influence has been strongly
intrenched in Peru for many years.
Three or four big German commercial
houses have controlled a large share
of the trade of the country, and through
their business have acquired consider
able influence on political matters. Ger
man capital likewise has gone into
sugar plantations, and even into ven
turesome irrigation projects. Some Ger
man capital also has gone into mines.
The most important contribution to
German influence was the establishment
of a branch of the Deutsche Bank of
Berlin. Previously, British banking g
ca pital had been dominant, and had
financed the government when 1t need
ed financing. Other banks Of European
nationalities were operated principally
for the benefit of the local business of
their respective nationalities.
The German bank pursued a liberal
course in the matter of accomm odations
and at the outbreak of the war it was
: firmly established. During the first few
months of hostilities it accomm odated
the nationals of other countries who
were doing business in Peru by afford

te-ests in Peru. Great Britain Is pre-
dominant. British investments are In
mines and railways. as well as in gen
eral trade The company known as the
Peruvian Corporation. which assumed
the national debt of Peru after the
war with Chile in 1851. operates most
of the railways, and it has many other
interests. The relations between II
and the Peruvian government are more
or less a source OF friction, but this
perhaps Is inevitable in view OF the
enormous interests at stake.
There are some heavy English In
vestments in the copper and silver
mines outside Of the Peruvian Corpora
ton, and these pay handsomely.
French money is invested in general
commerce and in some development en-
terprises. A French company. for
long period. had the control of the dock
and wharves at Callao. The concession
was very profitable one.
There are more Italians in Lima and
other parts of Peru than English,
French and Germans combined. They
are engaged principally in retail busi-
ness and as whole Italian investments

ing them exchange when the other
banks were timid. This was another
cause of the influence that was exer-
cised favorably to Germany.
n
The trade between Germany and Peru
was more important to Germany than
to Peru. but it was of value to both
countries. Previous to the war Ger
man steamship line piled directly be-
tween Callao and other Peruvian ports
and Hamburg. There were also some
tramp German ships. After the open
Ing OF the Panama canal the traffic was
increased. Some of the vessels con-
tinued their course through the Straits
of Magellan, but others made use Of
the canal.
Perus exports to Germany in the year
before the war were approximately
s3.000,000. They included wool. cotton.
rubber. sugar. copper and minor prod
ucts. Peru's imports from Germany in
the same year amounted to $5,000,000
They included mining and other ma
chinery. hardware. all kinds Of textiles
and a great many of the cheap COM
modities which Germany exports to the
Latin American market The war end

allies prevented the exchange of car

this course, although the present policy
is not an illiberal one.
German commercial influence in Peru
has had a powerful competitor in one
great American trading corporation,
whose business extends all the way
down the west coast of South America.
This corporation has been established
for more than half a century and has
Invested in sugar plantations and IN
development enterprises. 1t also has
had its own steamship line.

American trade. however, has not
been dependent on a single big trad
ing corporation. Various Independent
firms and agencies have been estab-
lished and excellent connections have
been made.
Since the establishment of branch
banks in foreign countries was au-
thorized by Congress two leading
American institutions have set up
branches in Peru. and not only ex-
change facilities, but means of financ-
ing legitimate enterprises have been
provided There has as yet bean no
flow of capital for investment through
these mediums. but when peace is re-
stored there is no question that the
American investments already made In
Peru will be supplemented by the
greater facilities now afforded through
American branch banks established
there.
At the beginning OF the war Peru's
economic distress was accentuated by
the interruption Of commerce. but this
condition gradually was remedled
through the absorption by the United
States Of some of the commodities which
previously had been taken by the Euro
pean belligerents. While the trade re-
lations of England have been about
normal through the shipping facilities
which were afforded until recently.
there is some loss on the part of the
other allies. and the United States
helped to absorb 1t.
The Peruvian market for the prod
nets Of this country has not grown
proportionately during the last three
years with the market which the
United States has afforded Peruvian
products. but that was because Of the
limited purchasing power of the ooun-
try. Under the normal conditions OF
peace there is no doubt that Peru and
the United States will be better mu-
tual customers than evcr in the past
These trade probabilities are not
however. of immediate Importance
The moral effect of Peru's break with
Germany in further closing up the
South American ranks against the out
law nation is the significant thing.

THE sTORY-BOOK OF SCIENCE. By
Jean Henri Fabre. author Of Social
Life in the Insect World" etc. From
the French by Florence Constable
Bicknell. New York: The Century
Company.
Jean-Henri Fabre is a great scientist.
In addition to that. he is a great story
teller. And besides he is a great child.
In his simplicity of manner, and. in his
conception of all nature as something
not greatly different from himself.
Fabre has made the social life OF the
bee and the ant as fascinating as any
human document could possibly be.
Here he turns himself to the telling
of stories. about one and another of
the marvellous appearances and activi-
ties of nature, for the entertainment
Of children. That these stories have
met this purpose is abundantly proved
by the fact that this book has already
had its nineteenth printing in France.
And now. under the sympathetic and
intelligent work Of Florence Bicknell
American readers have these inspired
stories in English translation. De-
signed for young readers. the book is
of a quality to appeal to spirit and out
look. rather than to mere counting g
of ones years.
THE CHILD IN HEALTH AND ILL.,
NESS. BY Carl G. Leo-Wolf. NJ. d.
illustrated. New York: George II.
Doran Company.
This is a text book for mothers. AS
such it is simple. direct. compact and
well arranged. It contains those things
that all mothers ought to know about
the care Of their children both in health
and in sickness. 1t makes emphasis of
the care Of children in health, in order
that sickness may be avoided. This is
one of the good points in an altogether
good book. 1t is, moreover. an encour-
aging book. for its purpose is to take
the idea of motherhood out of the realm
of pure sentlmentality and ignorance
In which 1t has so long and so content
edly lived and to move it over into the
region of actual knowledge of the laws
of health and the practice of infant
wellbeing. And. as a matter OF course,
this exalts the function of motherhood,
as intelligence and knowledge exalt ali
the processes of life. This is very
comprehensive study, including a body
of directions for the feeding Of children
through the various stages of their
growth. Charts and illustrations sup
plement the text. Defects of the eye
