Dispute Revived Over Pro-
Vinces Of Tacna And africa,
Taken From Peru in 1883

Washington, Nov. Hostilities be-
tween Chile and Peru today appeared
to be possibility.
Peru has withdrawn her consular
agents from Chile as the result of popu-
lar demonstrations, resulting from re-
vival of the dispute over the provin-
ees of Tacna and Arica which Chile
took from Peru in 1888. AS Peru has
no minister in Chile, withdrawal Of her
consuls constitutes break in diplo-
inatic relations.
1t was belle. ed probable here today
that the United States or one of the
South American nations will offer to
mediate the difficulty, So as to avoid
actual warfare. 1t was also regarded
as possibili,y that Peru and Chile
would carry their disputes to the peace
cHlference Gil the theory that league
Of nations would require settlement of
such matters.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Nov. 26.--Britain ami
the United States are in perfect accord
as to reduction of use of British ton
mage for bringing American troops
home. There will be sufficient trans
port facilities to meet rehabilitation
needs
These assurances came from officials
today following Secretary of War
Bakers intimation that some of the
British ships would soon be withdrawn
from the United States transport SER
vice. Baker himself said that our own
vessels, plus probably some German
ships and some French and Italian tom
mage, would meet requirements. Other
authorities declared that the cut in
British aid has not come yet.
Baker held ii was natural for the
British to terminate some Of the car
rying contracts entered into when
movements were desperately necessary,
He pointed out that Britain had her
own colonial troops Canadians, Aus
tralians and New Zcalanders-to send
home, and that they had been abroad
longer than our own.
Use German Ships
Practically 1000 men and officers,
mostly aero squadrons, casuals, sick

England and will reach New York the
last of the month, according to pres
elt schedules IT is now proposed that
Nome Of the German ships held in Teu-
ton ports shall be used to carry our
soldiers home. 1t may be that they will
take food cargoes to> Germany and
then stop at France to bring back de.

further delay in the trial his attor-
neys, Moss, Marcus G. Wells, of 233
Broadway, withdrew the action on
June 5 at the Mayors instructions.
Justice Cropsey, of the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn, had no alterna-
tive but to dismiss the action, which
he did last Monday.
The costs of the case were charged
against the Mayor. In addition,
Howard Taylor, counsel for the
Press Publishing Company, has re-
quested extra costs not to exceed
$4,000.
His Attorney
Explains the Position
BY way of explaining the Mayors
position his attorney points to the
following letter from Mr.. Hylan re-
oaesting withdrawal of the suit:
May 81, 1918.
Frank Moss, Esq,
Moss, Marcus & Wells.
233 Broadway, New York.
Ny Dear Mr.. Moss: have asked
the court to postpone my action
against "The New York World"
The reason for this request was the
great pressure of public business
upon me at this important time. The
court has refused what appears to
me very reasonable request, made
in the public interest. ! am COM
PEELED, therefore, to ask you to dis
continue the actions, as it seems to
me that my first duty is to the public
in these critical times, and that l
should devote my full time and atten-
ton to the public business and not
to the prosecution of my private law
! suits and personal matters. IA far

for libel. The second, including the
other grounds of action, prayed the
court for a judgment Of 1925, 900.
Mayors Attorney
Pleads for Time
Upon these charges John F. Hy-
Ian, through his attorney, filed suit
against the Press Publishing Com
pany before his election as Mayor
last November When the suits ap-
peared on the calendar in Justice
Cropsey's court last month "The
World answered "Ready." But the
attorney for the Mayor pleaded for
more time.
Indeed. the plaintiff seemed COM
pletely to have abandoned the posi-
ton for a speedy trial he had as
sumed in his petition to the court to
consolidate complaints one and two.
At that time the attorney for the
Mayor, Frank Moss, submitted the
following plea for a speedy determi-
nation:
"Mr. Taylor (attorney for defend
anti in his affidavit said:
"It is therefore very important
both to the plaintiff and the de-
PENDANT, and also in sense to the
public, that the issues raised In this
suit be promptly disposed of, and
that it be settled as to whether the
statements made in the defendants
newspaper about the plaintiff were
true or false
IAN inspection of the pleadings
shows that the same reasons apply as
fully to action two
"The defendant does not seek trial
until May, and the plaintiff, recognize
ing the necessity of prompt dis
position of the questions involved
and the establishment of the truth or
falsity of the article in the COM
plant numbered two, has moved for
| preference in May, in the interests
of the public and of justice, and to
obtain speedy adjudication of the
matters involved in both suits at
once, and will so continue to move"
But the pleas for speed became
pleas for delay as the plaintiffs at
tolney delved further into the
charges of libel. And on Mayor the
Mayor set forth in an affidavit:

"That this plaintiff endeavored to

"That while this plaintiff was

disappeared from the archives of the

the record appears this notation:

the S1,150 which was paid in was
fraudulent stock and was issued for
the purpose Of enabling the plaintiff
and a notorious stock jobber and
swindIer named Goslin to sell such
fraudulent stock to the public, and
that this plaintiff actually attempted
to palm off such stock on client
who was married to his own cousin"

of Chicago, who refused to buy such
stock and engaged an attorney t
demand an accounting of the judo
ment of $3.50 collected for him by
John F. Hylan.)

of no vindication of any judge or

this plaintiff. without any agreement

had no right or proper reason to
make any such charge and that the
plaintiff wrongfully endeavored to in
duce his said client to accept some

fear of public exposure, and not from
