zil's entry into the war is regarded
here as a question merely of days.
Those who have watched South
American developments closely be-
lieve that the sinking of the steam
er Tijuca may provide the incident
required to place the more pacific
members of the Brazilian congress

for active hostilities against Ger
many.
Prest Braz asked congress Tues
day TO revoke the declaration of
neutrality and if congress accepts
his suggestion a formal declaration
of war probably will follow immedi-
ately. Brazil was one of the first
South American countries to sever
relations with Germany. The text

sizing Brazils traditional policy of
continental solidarity and friend
ship for the United States was re-
ceived by cable today at the state

bassy.
