LIVES SAVED

By J. r. Gelders. Ten thousand men, alive today, Might not have seen the morning
 gray,
 But that the battles cease. Ten thousand men who still may tread The earth, might lie among the dead Except for treasured peace.
 bright. With life, might not have lived till
 night,
 Had not the truce been made. Ten thousand forms might strew the
 plain, Ten thousand writhing heaps of pain Had not the sword been stayed. Ten thousand men might spill their
 gore, And on the morrow, thousands more, And each succeeding day. Might see the hosts for killing lined Trimmed out, had not that pact been
 signed,
 And slaughter swept away. We render thanks that death is
 staved From all these men whom peace has
 saved, With feelings far too vast. To put in tinkling words we hope This war, the greatest in it's scope, Shall also be the last.

ARGENTINE AND
 CHILE FRIENDLY
 AFTER MANY YEARS
German Residents Rejoice in Declara-
 tions That Railways Should Be State Owned

Buenos Aires, October 30-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press)--Argentina and Chile evidently have been drawn clos erer together as a result of the visit to the city of the special Chilean embassy which was composed of leading Chileans. re- markedly cordial reception was accorded to the visitors by the Argentine govern ment.
 The Chilean embassy came to Buenos Aires to participate in the unveiling of a monument to the Chilean hero, OHig gins, on the Chilean independence day, and the Argentine newspapers have 'com- mented at great length on the mission as cementing even more closely the ties of friendship between Chile and Argen- tina. In the eyes of foreign residents this friendship is becoming more and more one of common opposition to the invasion of foreign interests
 Senor Vial Solar a prominent Chilean who was a member of the embassy gave out an interview in which he criticised the fact that all the important Argen- tine railways are foreign-owned. He said these should be taken over by the Argentine government and that the governments of Argentina and Chile should take over especially the Transan- dine line, which is British owned. The entire interview was devoted to telling Argentina 1t should stand on it's own feet without foreign aid.
 Persons closely related to President Irigoyen say that Dr. Bulnes, head of the Chilean envoys, talked to the President along the same lines and that a closer union between the two republics was dis cussed with the view of making them economically independent of foreign na- tions, especially Great Britain and the United States.
 During the visit of the Chileans. Pres-
 dent Irigoyen was almost prodigal in personal attentions to Df. Bulnes. Break ing habit, hitherto inveterate since his assumption of the government, the Pres ident attended the official banquent in honor of the embassy at the Government house, as also a luncheon given at the national live stock exposition by the au- thorities of the Argentine Rural society.
 The German residents of Argentina and Chile have heartily praised this obvious rapprochment of the two republics which though close neighbors and convention ally cordial had not been exceptionally good friends in recent years.

BIC WATERFALLS IN ARGENTINE MAY
 BE UTILIZED SOON
Are Fifty Feet Higher Than Niagara and Three Times as Wide-In the Igazu River

Buenos Aires, September 5.-(Cor- respondence of the Associated Press.) Restriction of exports as a result of the war has caused Argentina to seek the development of it's own natural resources. A proposal now receiving s great amount of publicity and geA- eral approval in the newspapers is the suggestion made by the minister of ag- riculture, Dr. Pueyrredon, to-President Irigoyep, that the government build an electric power plant at the Igazu falls, which, the minister says, would solve the fuel problem, open up vast regions of rich resources which are now dor mant for lack of transportation facili- ties and bring Argentina and Brazil closer together commercially by means of an electric railroad.
 One of the principal arguments of the minister's friends Is that the pro- posed power plant would do more than any one thing toward developing ship building in Argentina as it would opeu up the rich pine forests of Missiones, and provide smelters for reducing the limonite- which is found in large quan- titles in this region and said to contain as high as 50 per cent of iron. The working of the forests would also per- init the manufacturer of print paper which has been so scarce here.
 The Igazu falls are among the larg- est in the world, being nearly 50 feet higher than Niagara Falls and three times as wide. They are In the Igazu river in the Argentine territory cf Misiones on the Brazilian frontier. One section. known as the Devils Throat is reputed to carry as much water as the Niagara river
 Dr. Pueyrredon conferred with the Brazilian minister here on the question of the two governments cooperating on the proposition.
 Electrical engineers say that one of the smallest falls in the Igazu group could produce 100000 horsepowe without detracting any from the beau ty of the falls.
 Igazu falls are little known even to tourists because of the difficulty of reaching them. From Buenos Airea it is necessary to go by rail or river to Posadas, in the territory of Mi siones and then by horseback for sew eral days before reaching the falls. They are in part of South America that is exceedingly hot and infested with poisonous insects so that the few who do brave the journey are required to wear heavy veils and gloves despite the heat.
 Capitalists have on several occasions asked the Argentine government for concessions to operate power plant at the Igauz falls, but their petitions never were acted upon.

] in any hundred are still wearing their l helmets. All have donned the soft slouch | cap that so detracts from their soldierly appearance.
 | The helmets are dropped, thrown away ! in haste. and all but clutter up the battlefield Nearly every American sol- | dir who has been fighting at the front either has German helmet by now, or has sent one home. For under new ruling by general headquarters it is now possible to paste a home address on German helmet drop the headgear into the mail box and send it to mother, sis lSer or sweetheart. Just how many have gone home, ostensibly as the personal booty of the sender. it would be hard
 to say.
 Many of the helmets are interesting
 to say the least. Many boche soldiers
 have in theid idle hours painted and camduflaged their head pieces until they
 have a weirdly odd appearance. The German helmet has vastly more surface
 srace than the American, the British
 or tie French It has protection for the ears and neck in the shape of rim
 or extension, so that quite a little pie ture can be drawn or is.
 The most popular camouflage is series of two-inch stripes that meet at
 the top of the helmet and extend, like the ribs of a fan. outward and downward
 to the edges of the hat. In other cases the entire surface space is painted into squares of yellow, green and gray, or in a' the colors of the rainbow. The composite effect is startling These are the most coveted of all souvenir hell mcts, and the doughboy who has not the opportunity of finding one on the battlefield gladly gives sack of to- bacco for one.
 Shoulder straps make another interest ing and easily portable souvenir though they are also of i, a distinct military value because they help to identify the units that have been opposed to the An1ricans Yet there are enough for this purpose and to spare, and they are eagerly sought by the soldier who does nos care to be burdened with heavy helmet in addition to his own.

A Literary Smile Discredited
n the Peoples Home Journal.

From the Peoples Home Journal
 Since powder came into use in war, writers have been fond of comparing the roar of cannon to thunderstorm, thunder being given first rank as the greatest imaginable noise. But nature must take second place hereafter as a noise producer. The gunfire in Flanders has been heard frequently, in London. while the limits of the sound produced by the famous mine under Vimy Ridge have not been determined. On the other hand, no peal of thunder has ever been heard. so far as it know n, more than z1 miles.

 Some of these guns were turned upon the Germans. Others too badly dam aged to be used are being sent back to the United States for exhibition pur- poses.

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Aug. 15.-A British force from northwestern Persia has reached the Caspian sea and taken over a part of the defenses of Baku.
 If the British can hold their position a short time longer. which now seems likely they probably will be able to cut off the enemy from an outlet to the sea, thus protecting the important oil fields of the Baku district.
 It appears from the meagre informa- ton at hand in London that the Brit = ish detachment voyaged by steamer from Enzelli. Persia. to Baku. demon- strating that the allied hold on the Caspian sea already is fairly estab- lished. The allied naval forces now un- doubtedly will endeavor to secure their communications. Once this task is ac- complished, there will be hardly pos sibility of the central powers gaining possession of the Baku oil fields.

 GENEVA. Aug. 15.-An official dispatch received here from Frank fort, Germany, says that Monday morning at g o'clock that city was attacked by 12 enemy aviators who dropped 26 bombs, killing 12 per sons and injuring five others.
 Reports from Basel, however, assert that the casualties were far more numerous. These say that bomb fell in the crowded Kaiser strasse, killing many persons and stopping the street cars, that an other fell in the middle of the large station and several in its vicinity, while two more fell in the barracks and still another near Goethe's house, which was un- damaged.
 The Basel dispatch, says the aerial attack has increased the panic reisning in the Rhine towns.
