Whatever may be said of the resi-
dents OF South America, they are not
pikers. Some time ago the republic
of Brazil, being in need of some ready
money sent an agent to France with
some securities to secure the loan OF
ten million francs. The agent ar
rived in Paris and negotiated the loan
put all the money in his pocket and
instead OF returning to Brazil went
to Geneva, where he proceeded to
show the natives Of that good old
burg that he was live wire. When
arrested he said that he was afraid
to try to return to his country for
the reason that the Germans might
capture the boat on which he sailed
and steal the money.

REPRooF FOR EASTERN
STATES
New York Editor Warns Against
Accusing West of Sticking"

1t would be we'll If the East could
be made to understand that one rea-
son why the West is reluctant to
enter a war is because it felt that it
will have to do more than its fair
share. The common saying used to
be: "The East is always getting the
United States into trouble and then
leaving it to. the West to do the
fighting" If this assertion is chal-
lenged. the Westerner would point
to. the Civil War when the Western
states more than filled. their quota
by volunteering while Eastern riot
ers were resisting the draft. and to
the Spanish war, when the young
men Of the West answered with en-
thusiasm the call to the colors, while
in New York City, which boosted
of having made the war;" two reg
iments of the national guard refused
to serve.
The British dominions have some-
thing of the same feeling as our
West, that England involves the en-
pire in war and then, in Kipling's
phrase. she "fawns on the younger
nations, for the men that can shoot
and ride" Where the fighting is
hardest, in Gallipoli, at Arras or, on
the Sorame. the names of Australians,
New Zealanders and Canadians fig
ure most in the dispatches.
However exaggerated this feeling
is, however unwarranted it may be,
it nevertheless exists, and il Eastern
ers refuse to recognize it they viii
have to reckon with it. If the East
ern newspapers keep up their custom
airy jibes at the West during the war
the rapidly widening breach between
the two sections will seriously Inn
pair the unity of effort Of the United
States.-New York Independent.
