NEED GOOD MAN

Ambassador Shea to Resign on
Account of His Age and )
Demands of the
Post.

Future Relationship Of United States
and South American Nation
Depends on New
Official.
A FIGHTING SUCCESSOR
BY Roy W. Howard, President OF the
United Press

[ BY Roy w. Howard, President OF the
United Press.l
SANTIAGO. Chile, Mar. 15.-The
entire issue of the future relation
ship of the United States and Chile
hinges upon the choice Of a successor
| to Ambassador Shea, whose resigna-
ton is persistently reported to De
under consideration on account of his
,, age and the strenuous demands OF
the post.
The reports of Judge Shea's retire
ment are certainly not the result OF
any friction with the Chilean govern
ment, which is most cordial toward
him. With the exception of Ambas
sador Fletcher, (now ambassador lc
Mexico) Shea is probably the most
popular United States diplomat VINO
has been here in generation. He IS
popular both with the Chileans and
with the Americans. His tactfulness.
kindliness and modesty have created
the most favorable impression.
But in the event of his resigna-
tion the pro-allies here are very anx-
ious that a younger, more asgres-
siye and active man be selected
capable OF carrying on the fight
against German propaganda both day
and night.
The fact that the Santiago appoint
ment has been classed as political
plum has been thorn in the sidea
Of Chileans for many years. They
sensitively interpret this as indicat-
ing that the post is not considered of
sufficient importance TO justify thC
appointment of diplomat chosen
solely for his ability. Fletcher almost
wiped out this impression I'D Shea
has helped. The present healthy
state of our relations with Chile are
credited to these two ambassadors
AS a matter of fact, the long existing
prejudice against the United States
has been virtually eliminated and
Americans here point out that the
selection now Of the strongest avail
able man will be a compliment high
ly appreciated by the Chilean.
The previous prejudice was due to
four particular sore spots which were
as follows:
First-Virtual Intervention by the
United States in behalf of Peru,
against Chile in the war of 1879.
Second-The meddling of the cruis-
er San Francisco in the revolution,
1891.
Third-The cruiser Baltimore Incl
dent, also III 1881, WHeH lue bHlLed
States issued an utimatum demand
ing indemnity for sailors killed in a
shore brawl at Valaraiso.
! Fourth-Secretary Knox's ultima
tum in connection with Alsop claim
The rancor due to these four causes
now has about died out and the di2lo
matte wounds are practically healed
The Chilean attitude has become that
Of the man from Missouri. Chile is
interested in the performances Of the
United States but is not interested
| in promises.
/ With candor not evidenced else
where in Latin-American. Chileans OF
the highest rank bluntly declare their
country is not involved individually
| in the success of the war. Chile
recognizes it's unusual opportunity
for national growth and progress

State Guards Lose Identity.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 15.-The ma
tionai guard is destined to lose its
state flavor, army men belived today.
The system Of feeding troops from
the second line into the first to fill
I'D gaps and from the third line into
the second, will serve to mix up a
distinctive state unit until finally it's
state character will be practically
lost.
While the law demands that the
state character shall be maintained
as far as possible, army men say
that the necessities of the war will
prevent fulfillm ent Of this idea.
