Especial Dispatch to The Tr,bune)


ALBANY, Aug. 21.-Hugh Guthrie,
upstate Woman's Land Army confer
encc, which closed here to-day, tina the
war will end with victory for the AL
lies when the American army of 4,000,-
900 is in the field. and that every
ounce of food which the women OF
this state and nation can raise will
bring those figh. ing millions nearer
to the goal of victorious peace.
Mr.. Guthrie was SO pleased with the
effectiveness of the Womans Lend
Army organization in this s'.a,e
that he declared that when he re- arms
to Canada he will endeavor to
have the Canadian women follou O. out
the New York plan He warmly con-
graduated the women on the progress
they have made, saying that their or
ganl2atlon is q great imp rovement
over that of the Canadian women. He
told the women of the revivifying ef-
feet TO the Allies Of Americas en-
trance into the war and expressed his
appreciation Of the part they were
taking in aiding the nations war pro

they have been fighting together for
democracy the boundary line between
them has completely disappeared.
An appeal for 100000 supporting
members was made by Mrs. Thomas T.
Burgess. chairman of the New Yorl,
State Land Army
Dean Ida Ogilvie Of the Bedford
Womans Land Army Camp, one of
the pioneers of the land army move
ment, said that one of the prob ems
first confronted was the inability of
the farmers to provide for the housing
and subs istence of the women workers
She said it was at this point that Mrs.
Charles Short, of England, came to
them with the plan which provided
that there should be centres where
the women could be housed and board
ed. She said it was this suggestion
that formed the foundation of the
Woman's Land Army. She believes
that the plan of having a central
camp, with branch camps near the
places OF employment, will prove most
effective In meeting the farm labor
shortage.

BRAzIHs INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Brazirs soldiers will parade through the streets today decorated in green and yellow, the national col ors, in celebration of the twenty ninth anniversary Of the overthrow of the empire and the establishment of the republic.
 With the exception of Cuba and Panama, giant Brazil is the youngest of American republics, having become independent in 1922. The princes of the Portuguese royal house contin- ued to reign as emperors, however, until Nov. 15, 1889, when Dom Pe- dro IT., abdicated after a bloodless revolution.
 The United States of Brazil is a federative republic of twenty states. one territory and a federal district Under the constitution each of the States is practically law unto it. self, without interference from the federal government save for it's de- fense and for the execution of feder- al laws. The president is elected for | four years by a direct vote of the people. No president may be elected | to succeed himself, and the constitu- | ton also prohibits the candidacy of l any man who is related by blood or marriage to the president or vice president. The senators, siXty-three in number, and the members of the House of Deputies, PIP in number, are also elected by direct vote. The | franchise extends to all men over | twenty-one except soldiers, beggars
  While the descendants of Portu- guese pioneers are the ruling class | in Brazil, the majority of the people have African blood in their veins. There is no racial discrimination, and negroes may be found in the most exclusive clubs and in the inner cir cles of Rio society. Italians and 1 Germans have also settled in large numbers in the South American re- public and, in fact, the State of Santa 1 Clara was almost entirely German before Brazil declared war against the | Kaiser.
 The railway system of Brazil, al most non-existent at the beginning of the republic now has about 15,000 miles of lines in operation. When | it Is considered, however, that the area of Brazil Is almost as great as that of the United States or Canada, it will be readily understood that a | large part of the country remains un- developed and without transportation facilities.
 Rio de Janeiro, the capital, has a population of nearly a million, and Is one of the most beautiful and mod ern cities of the world.
