LA AMERICA LATINA Y LA GUERRA
GERMANO AMERICANA
Ell ITO SAM CONTENTO

Con raras excepciones, ell Gobierno de Washing
hington Sc manifesto satisfecho de la actitud asu-
mida por la mayoria de las republicas %hispano-
americanas. La conducta politica de cada una de
elias puede resumirse asi:
Cuba Sc ha declarado abiertamente aliada de los
Estados Unidos y ha roto sus relaciones diploma.
ticas con Alemania
Panama Y Costa Rica han ofrecido a los Estados
Unidos la ayuda material de sus cortos recursoS.
Argentina y Bolivia, en- sus notas d~irigidas a la
Cancilleria de Washington, han justificado, y pue-
de decirse hasta ~apoyado, la accion de los Estadcs
Unidos, aunque sin tomar una accion agresiva ha-
cia los Imperios Centrales.
FL Brazil no ha declarado la guerra a Alemania
nj Sc ha aliado a los Estados Unidos, pero 81 ha
roto sus relaciones con ell Imperio del Kaiser.
FL Peru ha manifestado sus deseos en- favor de
la paz, pero no ha declarado la neutralidad. Chile
y ell Uruguay han a~probado en- forma comedida Ia
actitud norteamericana
Mexico ha declarado abiertamente su neutrsli-
dad, pero no ha justificado nj a~probado la actitud
de los Estados Unidos.
Los funcionarios del Gobierno de Washington
han manifestado su conformidad y hasta su ertu-
siasmo, con la actitud asumida por la mayoria de
las naciones de la America Espanola. Solo ell anrn-
clio seco de la neutralidad de Mexico es ell que ha
ensombrecido los animos, pues los Estados Unidos
esperaban que la vecina r~epublica, al igual dc las
otras, Sc declarase francamente a favor del RIM
pimiento con Alemania, o cuando menos mauifes-
tase ss simpatias hacia la actitud de los Estados
Unidos.
Hay otras republicas de las cuales no Sc tienen
noticias muy precisas, pero que, sin embargo, Sc
cree que manifestaran de un modo tactic su CO.
formidad hacia Alemania.

ella acaso la que con su negotiable paciencia ha
defendido a traves de los siglos la intimidad del

la juventud?
Por ESQ invitamos a las mujeres, a todas las
muJeres, a unirse a nuestra manifestation. Todas

yes internacionales, penosamente elaboradas para
saliva guardia de los civiles indefensos, MN guna

Hon. l.. r. Akin, representative
from Glynn county in the Georgia
Legislature, ran down from Atlanta
yesterday and spent the day in the
city. Mr.. Akin is convinced that
there will be no extra session of the
legislature this year.
Danger of that was believed elm
mated Wednesday when the house
waded into the general appropriation
bill after completion of the general
tax act If the appropriation meas
ure is completed by Saturday, in time
for it's three-day course in the sen
ate, all the essential work of the 1917
session will have been accomplished
before the constitutional limit of its
term-August Is.

gerously close vote of 102 to So. A
minimum of 95 votes is required fol-

Opposition SO strong on the final pas
sage of the bill had not been expect
ed by its advocates.
With reference to the bill abolish
ing the office of country treasurer
which will surely pass at this ses
sion, Mr. Akin explained that wher
the bill was sent to him he intro
duced it in it's original form, which
abolished the office on January l
1918. Later. he said, when he learn
ed of this, he passed an amendment
TO the bill making it effective January
l, 1920G This means that County
Treasurer r. S. Pyles, than whom
there is no more popular official in
the county, will serve the full term
for which he was elected.
The general tax bill, according to
Mr. Akin, which provides schedule
of specific taxes on professions and
occupations, is regarded as the most
far-reaching measure of its kind ever
adopted in Georgia. 1t is, in fact a
drag net" to all tax classes, and will
increase the states revenue by $780,
