 CHILL NOT STRONG FOR US. From Chili. where he has been identified with the work of the Gug- eenheim copper interests, Newton Phillips, formerly of this town, arrived here Friday for visit with friends be- fore reporting at Yuma, Arizona, Sep tember l, for military service.
 MT. Philips is of draft age. and though entitled to exemption on ac- count of the work in which he was ngaged-producing copper for the United States goYernment-he didn't want any favors of that kind so re- signed and came back to the States.
 His trip up from South America w1s not without it's thrills. and he was a witness of the sinking of the Mer- ritt by a German submarine, saw, the wrecking of the Diamond shoals light ship and, eventually, experienced what 1t means to have a steamer on which he was a passenger attacked by one of the Germans sub-sea assassins.
 Be came north on the United Fruit compauy's steamer that made a suc- csesful runaway fight against an enc my U-boat. as reported in press des- patches.
 MT Philips says that Chili is not strong for the United States, though most of the nearby South American countries rest their sympathies with Chis country. Nearly all of the veal thy classes of iChiIians are strongly pro-German. either openly or secretly, he says. and up to a few months ago many of the higher officers of the Ch1ian army were Germans. Most of them have been deposed, however
 While this Is NIT. Philips old. home town he has spent many years about Yuma, and is well known there, having spent several years in. the United States reclamation service.
