A solid South American west coast
at war with Germany is the proba-
bility extended today by diplomats,
officials, and traders in close touch
with west coast affairs. Chile, for
merly condemned with Venezuela
and Mexico as hotbeds OF KaIserism
and kultur, is declared to be closely
considering war.
Peru, by giving the United States
the German ships interned in her
harbors. and by previous trade and
financial concessions to the entente.
has laid herself liable to the wrath
of the central powers. Too, infiuen-
tial factions in Peru are not salts
fed with the existing severance of
relations with Germany, but desire
an actual declaration OF war.
War sentiment is held to be strong
in Ecuador, also. and would follow
such a step by Peru, according to
diplomatic opinion
in the world conflict, it is declared,
is the avowed war purpose of the
Chileans Ambitions of the coastal
republic to exert an influence on the
Southern continent are well defined.
Diplomats point out that marked
progress in this direction has been
made by the Chileans, but that they
realize that further advances must
have the approval of the world
powers.

CHICAGO CAR LINES
AT VOTERS MERCY

CHICAGO. Sept ia more har-
monious feeling among city officials,
traction interests and people In gen.
eral inspires faith In an amicabls
agreement for q new franchise for
the Chicago city railway lineA The
ordinance passed By the city council
Will be voted upon by Chicago lciti-
Gems at the November election.
John J. Mitchell, president of the
Illinois Trust and Savings Bank. In
| discussing the outlook, said today:
For the hrst time I believe traction
interests and the people are nearly
agreed on q franchise. This IL the
result Of long campaign OF educa-
| ton on both sides of the proposition.
The people and public utilities and
public officials are drawing closer all
the time In a general sense and this
Is resulting In more reasonable ordi-
nances and fairer agreements be-
tween factions. The old days of
grabbing a franchise and giving no
attention during the period of its
duration to the wishes OF the people
are over. Efforts being continuously
made to bring about an understand
ing between formerly discordant IN
terests will have good effect when
the vital time comes for asking fran
chise favors. There will be q more
THAT the public and utilities are
reaching a better understanding Is
indicated by the number of rate In
creases allowed interurban traction,
gas, electrical and other public serv-
ice corporations by State authorities
within six months or a year. This is
evidence that the people and cor
porate interests are beginning to get
on common ground. Every effort has
public utilities to cater more to the
public and to inform the latter of
the workings and needs of the cor
porations which serve the people.
The management of public utilities
have been trying to present their case
to the people in a convincing way, and
l believe this policy Is bringing re-
suits. On the other hand. the people
have told utilities companies what the
public wants and what must be given.
As the public IL master OF the situa-
ton interests back of the corpora
tions are giving full heed to these de
mands or requesets. as they may hap
pen to me termed. All that public
utilities corporations ask is a little
study of their side of the case by the
people. When both sides understand
one another the disposition to accord |
fair treatment will be mutual. Capt. |
tai. labor. and the public should all
join in the get-together movement
which must so greatly advance the in |
terests OF the country"
What Mr.. Mitchell said indicates
that traction interests begin now to
see the value of catering more to the
public during the period between the !
birth and expiration OF a franchise.
In November the people OF Chicago |
will pass upon a new traction ordi-
nance that will involve a rate of
interest to be paid stockholders of
these corporations for the next thirty
years. The city aldermen and the
interests have agreed on
what shall be allowed. and II has
been embodied in the form OF an
ordinance. 1t Is to be seen whether
the people will view the traction plan
by these two factions from
the same angle.

URGE CAMPAIGN
AGAINST AUSTRIA

Crushing Of Austria as the quickest
route to Entente victory and peace
is to be urged upon Secretary of War
Baker by italian and Balkan repre-
sentatives at the Inter-Allied Council.
according to authoritative diplomatic
forecasts here TODAY.
Plan Advocated Before.
1t is known that strong representa-
tions were made to Baker on his
previous visit to Europe for American
aid in Italy. and it is the diplomatic
and military view that there will be
a determined renewal of the over
the Alps to Berlin" campaign.
The italian strength as demon
strated in their Piave victory, the
presence of minor forces OF American
soldiers in Italy and the intention Of
the United States to assist in dis
memberinG Austria Hungary. as OPEN
ly acknowledged in the recent Czecho-
Slovak recognition, are held to be the
basis OF the present Italian claims
that peace will be FASTENED by bring
ing the Dual Monarchy to its knees.
Vienna Near Front.
Maj Gen. Emilio Guglielmotti.
Italian military attacne here, is a
firm believer that Austria can be
crushed by American and Entente as
sistance in Italy. and Germany thus
deprived OF the aid OF her greatest
ally and cut of from war-weary Bull
Earia and Turkey.
General GuElielmotti emphasized
the fact that Vienna is one-half the
distance from the Italian front that
Berlin is from the French front, that
the natural obstacles to protect Vi
emma are much less formidable than
the Rhine and the other German de-
lenses and that the morale of the
peoples under Hapsburg
will weaken, If not utterly |
with the advance OF the in
rading forces.

SOUTH AMERICANS
MAY JOIN ALLIES
BY FAN MOTT

, is that OF Peru's Lost Provinces OF
Tacna and africa. containing the
valuable nitrate and copper de-
posits, which Chile has held since
her victorious war with Peru. Peru
has broadly indicated that she would
lay the alleged injustice OF the
Chileans in refusing the promised
plebiscite looking to the return OF
the provinces before the entente at
the peace table. II has been rumor-
ed more than once, also, that the
Kaiser promised Chile the provinces
fer her neutrality.
Sentiment in Chile is declared to
have been OF a distinctly German in
cIination until recently. That the re-
cent allied military successes may en-
tirely dispel the German influence
and bring the republic into line
against Germany. is anticipated by
many. Germany's evident decision to
destroy her shipping in Chilean ports,
amounting TO more than 100000 tons,
is held to clearly indicate that Teuton
agents realize the hopelessness OF the
German cause.
Military experts here are OF the
opinion that Chile, with an available
army OF 100000 men and a modern
navy, including the submarines built
in the United States and the German
tonnage that would be available as
transports and converted cruisers,
would be a welcome addition to the
entente strength.

The soldier is to be used for this

fErm9"
Henry Ford, the Detroit motor
manufacturer, wishes to prove hia
belief that such a thing is prscti-
cable. and Il was he. therefore. who
asked Secretary Lane to choose the
man. Mr.. Ford has already laid out
ten-acre farm on his 4.0o0-Rcrs es-
tate at Dearborn, Mich, and he is
going to equip it and build q house
and barn on It at once, so that the
test may begin as soon as possible.
Mr.. Lane, ever since we got into
the war, has been advocating a back
10 nature" lie for our returned sol =
diers, wounded or unwounded, when
the conflict is over. He listened en-
Enthusiastically to Mr.. Ford's proposal,
and said he would lose no time in
picking out the proper sort of a man
10 carry the experiment through.
1t Is not to DO a charitable propo-
sition. The motor manufacturer
means, merely to finance the soldier,

at its full valuation. with the under
standing that it is 10 be paid for by

This is my idea" said Mr.. Ford
TO a correspondent after his visit
10 the Secretary. II will install
the crippled soldier and his wife in
a comfortable home, with an ap-
propriate sized barn on the little
farm.
This whole layout I will value
at $4,000, which is, as nearly as l
can figure, its actual worth. / firm
~ believe that the man will be able
to earn an excellent living and to
pay back his Indebtedness in ten

his profits for his declining years.

lar experiment l will buy the SOL
dier's products-his milk. eggs

ONLY" WET SPOT"
SEEKS TO Be DRY

HOPKTNSVILLE, Ky. Sept. IL
Tired OF HopkinsvilIe being the oasi:
from which Tennessee and other pro-
Inhibition territory is being illicitly
| fed, and with patience exhausted by
] the reckless disregard Of rights Of all
other traffic on the public highways,
as shown by the high-poWcr automo-
biles used as blockade runners by the
men engaged in this trade. the bet
ter citizens of Christian county held
a largely attended mass meeting at
the court house here and issued a
county on October 4.
Indications point to the prohibit
tionists scoring an easy victory. The
whislSey people have shown. so far,
no intention OF Offering an vigorous
opposition.
Since HopkinsviIIe became the oasis
for a large part OF Tennessee. includ-
ing Nashville, as well as dry terri
tory in kentucky. there has been a
large increase in the police court
cases. The great majority OF these
were for drunkenness or offenscs
growing out of drinking. and the in
crease was made up OF persons COM
ing from the dry sections.
But there were many who not only
loaded up their own stOmachs while
here, but carried a surplus stock away
with them. Also the Illicit trade Of
the blockade runners grew largely.
Provided with large and high-power-
ed cars, these men would come here
and load the tonneaus with bottles.
They were careful not to violate any
of the city laws, and could not be
touched by the police.
Once outside the city limits they
would race over the roads at high
speed. often forcing vehicles they met
to take to the ditch. Naturally this
provoked the country people. So the
people of the city and county pro-
pose to vote the county absolutely |
dry.
II this Is done. Il will close about |
twenty saloons in Hopkinsville, two |
Or three at Pembroke. and one or two |
at Grscey. these being the only re- 1
wet spots in Christian county. |
