BuENos AYREs, Aug. 10.-News has
reached the capital of the successful ar
rival at Tupiza, Bolivia, of the first train
over the new extension running from La
Quiaca, Argentina. to Tupiza. 1t is now
possible to go by rail from this city to
La Paz. the de facto capital of Bolivia,
but the journey still necessitates a week
and a halfs travel.
The La Quiaca -Tupiza section of this
line was started before
the outbreak of the European war, but
on account of difficulties the work was
held up.
Its completion is to be noted with in
terest, for by means of 1t railroad trans
portation from the east to the west coast
is assured throughout the year and will
no longer be closed during the winttr
months when snow blocks the trans
andine route from Buenos Ayres to San

With the aid of photographs con-
WINGED him in half an hour that Cuba
held everything which he had paced in
the land of his vacation dreams. Above
all he learned that Cuba was totally
different from this country. even in the
fact that its cities possess more convent
ences than can be found in cities of the
same size here at home.
Any one entering Havana harbor for
the first time, passing along the magnif-
cent array of mansions fronting the
ocean drive, cannot fail to be amazed
that such city exists so far south of
our best exhibits. A glance reveals Ha-
vana as both modern and ancient. a very
finished product indeed, and yet not a
line of her homes or her public buildings
copied from American structures. 1t is
not too much to say that on discovering
Cuba your world is enlarged even more
than 1t was when Columbus discovered
1t. because the islands inhabitants began
creating things worth knowing more
than 100 years before the keel was laid
for the Mayfiower.
At the present moment several of the
most prominent men of the island are
engaged in building and identifying win
ter resorts, making ready for a host OF
American tourists and residents. The
Gran Avenida Habana' is being pro-
iected all the way from Havana to the
beach at Mariana a magnificent speed
way, $50 feet in width. yet none too
broad to accommodate the streams of
automobiles which win run upon 1t. The
wealth OF Havana is always in evidence
in residence and hotel, opera house and
club. but especially in the thousands OF
costly cars which line every plaza and
boulevard.
Small wonder there is wealth when
every person in America contributes a
share every time he puts sugar In his
coffee. All but 10 per cent. of Cuba's
sugar comes TO us. Her crop for 1913
1919 will amount to s495, 000, 900, and
every Cuban who profits thereby spends
his wealth in Havana, The city's harbor
Is eternally busy. II has an enviable
reputation to sustain In the Western
Hemisphere, ranking second only TO New
York in amount Of traffic.
1t Is not surprising that prosperous
Cubans sip their drinks with satisfaction
as they sit on the yacht club porch at
La Playa de Marianao, for ships sugar
laden are passing northward In the dis
tance.
At La Playa huge building project
is now under way including two hotels
for tourists, each costing $1,000, 900; a
stadium for games and hippodrome,
said to cost $500, 900; four large bathing
