WAR BETWEEN CHILE
AND PERU POSSIBLE
UNLESS U. S. STEPS IN
Runners OF Alliance Among
Small Countries Make Sti-
uatiOn More Serious.

Washington, Dec. 2.-War on tho
South American west coast is threat.
cred unless the United States Or con
certed powers intervene in the Peru
Chile dispute, according to Latin-Ain.
crican diplomats here.
Latest adyices from Lima and Santa
90 verified reports of mobilization al
both capitals. Both the Chilean embas
sy and the Peruvian legation admitted
that undoubtedly crisis was at hand.
The most serious aspect, diplomats
said, was the evidence that attempts
are being made to form alliances that
might throw the entire continent into
war. Dispatches announcing the recall
Of the Brazilian minister to Peru were
held to be without logical foundation.
Rumors mentioned lineup Of Brazil,
Bolivia and Peru against Chile, Argen.
tine and Mexico. it was also suggested
by Latin American diplomats that Boz
livia and Argentine might stand by Pc
ru against Chile, owing to Chile's ad-
mitted military and naval superiority.
Wants Abrogation Of Treaty.
The general diplomatic view was that
Chile insisted on forcing the war to
bring about abrogation of the treaty
regarding the occupied provinces Of
Tacna-Arica. 1t is declared she feels
certain her retention Of the territory
win not be upheld at the peace table
in France and that she has all to win
ard nothing to lose in q brisk conflict
that might enable her to becloud the
real issues involved
The United Press is able to announce
today official verification Of its ex.
elusive report several weeks ago that
Peru positively will make formal sub.
mission TO the peace conference of her
demands for fairly conducted plebe
seite in Tacna- africa.
The Peruyians contend that "Presi-
dent Wilson'S statements in the matter
of self determination of peoples gives
Peru feeling of perfect confidence
in the early realization of justice = and
that "the United States will not de-
mand justice in middle Europe and the
Balkans and at the same time permit
among the Americas. y
