RICH PRIZES IN SOUTH AMERICA ARE
 SOURCE OF TROUBLE
Boundary Dispute Between Bolivia and Paraguay Has Never Yet
 Been Definitely Settled

La Paz, Bolivia, October 31.-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press. l--In- Aux of American capital into the cen tral republics of South America for the development of vast areas of hitherto un- touched resources has caused Bolivia and Paraguay to awaken to realization of the possibilities that lie in the disputed zone which is known as the Great Chaco.
 The boundary line between these two republics never has been fixed definitely because of the wildness of the country, but both nations have been satisfied with going on record as claiming all the zone and then going about their daily business without forcing the issue.
 But now that great development con- panies from the United States are seek ing concessions, the newspapers and pub- lie men are urging that the old ques- ton be brought up for final settlement
 The Great Chaco is a vast area north of Argentina between the Pilcomayo and Paraguay rivers It Is claimed by both Bolivia and Paraguay, though both ad- nit that their claims are so large that they will have to give up large areas in the final reckoning.
 For several years Bolivia has been preparing quietly for the day of final settlement, so that 1t is now in position tos press the issue to advantage That country has constructed chain of forts at intervals of 20 miles, in direct wire less communication with La Paz, put it's army in possession of the strip and set tied back to wait for the argument which now appears to be approaching.

FAMOUS SCULPTOR WANTED TO WORK
 TO HELP WIN WAR
How He Succeeded in Getting Place
 at Hog Island After Many Discouragements

Philadelphia, November 16.--"I want a job; I am willing to do anything. The foregoing remark was addressed to an employment interviewer recent ly at the Hog Island shipyard, the speaker an overall-clad man of mid dle age, carrying under his arm news paper-wrapped package, evidently his lunch. The mans face, however, be- lied his attire as a laborer It was one of refinement and exceptional in
 telligence.
 What are your qualifications; what
 can you do ?' the interviewer asked.
 T am stonecutter and have worked
 at the trade nearly all my life," the
 applicant replied.
 The interviewer did not reply im-
 mediately. He was looking at the hand
 which rested on his desk. It was long.
 slim, and with tapering fingers, the
 nails neatly manicured and in appear
 ance as soft as woman's.
 T am sorry, but we have no posi-
 tons open for stone cutters at this
 time," the interviewer said.
 Then can you use a tracer?" the ap-
 plicant persisted. T really have fewS
 superiors in that line"
 Tracers were badly needed, an af-
 firmative reply was given, the appll-
 cant was accepted and put to, work.

GERMAN IRON CROSS
 VALUED SOUVENIR OF AMERICAN SOLDIER
Wrist Watches and Pistols Carried by Hun Officers Are Also Eagerly
 Sought

With the American Troops Northwest of verdun, October 25.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-The German iron cross is the prize souvenir and to obtain one the American soldier will gladly give several bags of tobacco and even money into the bargain. 1t is an interesting commentary on the
 esteem, or lack of esteem, in which the cross Is held by Fritz tha' he parts with 1t in a great number of cases and generally with only expressions of con- tempt for It and it's significance. Even German officers give up their crosses occasionally.
 Here and there is to be found an American soldier who has German
 machine Or automatic gun as souvenir, but only rarely because they generally have 8 military value and are too bulky
 to be used or carried. German carbines and rifles are more popular, though
 they too, are almost impossibly heavy and in the way.
 Greatly coveted though seldom found are the revolvers that German officers carry Unlike the American soldier, the German seldom if ever carries such weapon. Even the numerous 'noncoms'
 of the German army have them only
 rarely. Consequently they are scarce and are all the more popular because
 they are easily carried, useful and handy. They are good weapons, too.
 Every German soldier carries as rule. mass of documents on his person, rang
 ing from written and unwritten post
 cards to sentimental, illustrated saws and sayings, colored pictures and the like. At the start they were in demand as souvenirs but are nov far too com mon. Even the inevitable diary Is no longer popular. It is invariably written in illegible German script and contains little of anything of interest
 Wrist watches have been considered since the beginning of the war as the
 legitimate booty of the conqueror, and many and many watch of enemy make now runs well or badly upon the arm of some victor. Ninety-nine of every hundred watches, of course, are virtu- ally worthless but the hundredtth, orig inally the property of some officer or aviator is valuable and thing of beauty.
 The list thus far comprises chiefly the pure souvenir or remembrance Of the battle. In every retreat, however, the Germans have left behind a whole grist of utensils-tool boxes, cartridge cases and general utensils-that are eagerly I picked up by those who want some addf- l tional facility for carrying their pos sessions with safety and ease.
