Portugal's Effort in the War

A French Diplomat in Harper's Maga- zine
 In this world every effort is apt to be judged, not by the purpose behind it, but by the results. What are the results of the Portuguese effort?
 First of all, Portuguese division has been in France since the beginning of 1917 Led by two vigorous officers, Gen. Tamagnine Abren and his chief of staff. Major sBattista, it is at the dspos- al of the British army. A second division, commanded by Gen. Texeira q Eza, has followed, and a third is ready-and all this without having abandoned the CO., lonial war. This country of 5OGOO00 in- habitants has, therefore, in less than a year, prepared for the entente more than 75,OOO men. It has more than 100000 in reserve, trained.
 The transportation of the troops was performed largely by Portuguese vessels and German ships that had been seized, conveyed by Portuguese cruisers. Lem ons by the thousand, be it said awaited them on the wharf.-the gift of the French government.
 But there is another more importa nit and far reaching resuIt--the change in the Portuguese people since this training fer war. Tn two years the Portuguese soldier, the Portuguese student. who used to be rather slender and often round shouldered, have developed. Obligatory military service, which has contributed so largely to the physical regeneration of the French, is already showing splendid results in Portugal.
