Rio Janeiro, June 2s.-Brazil has revoked her decree of neutrality in the war between the Entente Allies and Germany.

the war between the Entente Allies and Germany.
 Brazil's action Is tantamount to . declaration of war on Germany. Previous despatches from Rio Ja- neiro have said that the Brazilian government would do as the United States did. enter the war without de- claring war on Germany, as by her submarine warfare Germany was al- ready making war on Brazil. It has be4n intimated that Braxil's action was indorsed by all the principal South American republics and that some might follow the same course.
 Late in May the Brazilian congress voted unanimously to revoke Braxils neutrality in the war between Cor many and the United States. It also authorized President Brax to revoke neutrality in tho war between Cor many and all the other allies when he saw fit. This question has been in negotiation with the allied dipl0- matic representatives. in Braxil for some time. Brazil broke with Ger- many on April 10.
 When rBazil aligned herself with the United States Nulo Pechanha, tho new Brazilian foreign minister, chosen because of his pro-ally views, said that Brazil had previously re- trained from taking sides In the war but could no longsr remain indifrer- ent when tho Unitsd sbates found It. self involved in . struggle for the rights of the people and when Cor many meted out to Bradl the mogt brutal treatment. Tho specific griev- ances wore tho sinking of, tho Bra- zilian ships Parana and Ti1ucA by German submarines.
 Two weeks ago it was announced that warshfps of the allied nations would be given free entrance to Era xilian ports without adhering to the limits of neutrality. The American Pacific deet was received in Rio Janeiro June with public acclaim. It has been intimated that the Bra xillan navy would take over . part of the work of patrolling the South American coast.
