the United States and our European Allies. Put on a numerical basis this means that out of nine million square miles and a total population of 90 millions, six million square miles and nearly fifty millions of people could
 no longer be characterized as neutral.
 Two Active Participants.
 Yet such a classification, though impressive on paTer, easily lends it. self to misrepresentation. It might
 easily lead one to draw a too fiatter- ing conclusion. Of the active belliger- ents only two, Brazil and Cuba, may
 be said to have taken anything like an active participation in the war; while Argentina and Chile, both members of the so-called A B c Powers, carefully observed z. status of official neutra lity. Mexico, the most important state North of the Isthmus likewise falls within the same cate gory. In other words, of the gov ernment of the four Latin countries of the most consequences three have studiously remained aloof from the war. But the official acts of the var ious states, significant as they are, ] by no means tell the whole story. In ] no sense are they indicative of the at ] titude and sympathies of the major : ity of the thinking classes of these 1 countries.
 ! Any appraisal of the official and unofficial attitude of the Latin Amer ] ican republics toward the war must i take into account number of fun | damental factors. The first of these i IS the sympathy of the great mass of i the educated classes toward the Eu- ! ropean Allies and particularly toward France. If racaiily, the Latin Ameri- . cans of European descent harh back ! to Spanish and Portuguese origins, in i all that makes up their culture and
 civilization, their debt to France has 1 been immeasura ble. This crops out in l a thousand ways. French is spoken 1 by all educated Latin-Americans; ! French text books are used in all the ! higher schools; French art and ! literature have served as the highest ] standards whicsh Latin American ar i lists and writers have consciously oI 1 unconsciously followed. When Latin Americans 20 abroad Paris is theiI Mecca; France their second patria Possessed of such cultural and spiri- l tual heritages, most Latin Americans have instinctively felt that the issues l of the war ultimately resolved them 1 selves into a struggle between Lat III clNlllZaIOn ana IeuIOnlc aSSfeS ! sion fully as much as into a contes between liberalism and autocracy.
 The increasing indignation at the l methods of warfare pursued by tht l Germans proved another factor O prime importance in moulding public opinion. The violation Belgium
 and the resultant atrocities. the sink
 ing of the Lusitania, the bombing O defenseless towns and hospitals, ant finally the practice of unrestricted
 submarine warfare aroused the pas l sionate resentment of all Latin Americans whose judgment had no
 been warped by prejudice or propa ganda. Certain of the republics, tn
 rights of whose citienzs had been il
 no wise jeopardized, broke off rela

tonic sentiment or a subject for de- bate before international congresses or in after dinner speeches, suddenly
 took on a new and vital significance.
 As will be presently pointed out this feeling of continental solidarity ana
 community of ideals among the dem ocracies of the new world was one or the causes which led Brazil actlVely
 to participate in the war.
 Yet it would be idle to deny that the force of these factors was III a
 measure neutralizsd by a number or
 others, likewise common to all or
 Latin Am erica. The first of these was
 of course German propaganda. This
 point needs no stressing; during the
 past four years it has been brought
 home to US in the United States re-
 peatedly. But in Latin America. It has
 assumed a peculiarly subtle and sin ister form. During tn. past few de- cades the countries to the south of
 us have bean subjected to highly organized and sllillfully directed kind of economic and intellectual penetra- ton. German professors and teach CTS have invaded the schools and col leges; traders and manufacturers have opened up new markets or en- , deavored to conquer old ones; army ! officers have secured employment as
 military instructors, particularly in i Chile. These enissaries of kultur have copied with fidelity the manners of ! the Latin Americans, scrupulously : observed their etiquette, flattered
 their armour propre anu spared no ] pains to insinuate themselves into i their good graces. They have not i only struggled to increase the com merce and influence of the Father i land, but have striEen in season and ! out of season to nIsrepresent and en- venom the relations between Latin America on the one hand and the ] United States and their European i competitors on the other. And after l the outbreak of the war German 1 money and diplomacy were freely l employed to secure control of the or l gans Of public opinion, bribe officials i who could be corrupted, and create | dissent1ons and animosittes. These
 maneuvers have been carried ou l with unparalleled cynicism and eff i frontery, as has been revealed in the Luxburg and Zimmerman dispatches

tions with Germany largely as a pro- test against this policy of frightfu1- ness. Such was the case of Bolivia, one of the two entirely IandIocked countries of South America.
 SeIf-Preseryation an Incentive.
 Another factor, though one of varying intensity in different coun-
 tries, was the instinct of self-pres- ervation. Those Latin Americans who
 could read history alright regarded
 with intense anxiety the possibility
 of a German victory. They were fully
 alive to the fact that their indepen-
 dence was due in large part to the
 outcome of the European conflagr
 ton following the French Revolu-
 ton. They had not forgotten that the
 designs of Napoleon on the Spanish
 American colonies and Irazi were
 thwarted by England, and those of
 Spain nd the Holy Alliance on the recently liberated republics by Eng land and the United States. A trium- phant Germany dominating Europe and no longer held in check by the British fleet wo id, in the opinion of these Latin Americans. siege upon the first preteXt to flout the Monroe doc Urine and menace the sovereignty of certain of the South American states. Sucn IeellnS was particularly strong in Brazil, whose southern states had long appeared on the map i of the Pan Germans as a future out post of Deutschtum. Hence these Latin American nations could hard ly regard with composure the defeat of that combination of powers which had enabled them to survive, or at 1 least had protected them from az gression, during the past century. ! As a corollary to this instinct of
 preservation was the Influence of the United States and the ideals of ! Pan Americanism. The entry of the
 most powerful member of the Pan ] American brotherhood into the great : conflict in defense of democracy and with no thought of territorial gain or i selfish advantage had a profound re- 1 percussion throughout Latin Ameri- 1 ca. In the tremendous struggle be- ! tween autocracy and democracy
 many Latin Americans felt that they i would be recreant to their highest | ideals if they held aloof as neutrals | The Pan American movement hith-
 erto oftentimes regarded as a pIa-

Crawford, President of the company, who also was toastmaster; and Walter l. Fln- ney, secretary of the firm.
 The evening was pleasantly spent with remarks from those present ana with the presentation of small gifts to a number who attended, the gifts being suggestions of the important work which they are now perform ing The menu which included a feast of many good things was thof- oughly enjoyed by all.
 Walter L. Finney spoke Of a larg- CT Crawford Laundry and pictured a much enlarged building in the near future, after which Herbert H. Cut Ter remarked on cooperation among the employees. John O'MaIey urg- ed those present to work together and i MT. Crawford gave the representa- tives a talk on the new five-day plan which the laundries of the city have adopted. He also stated that as soon as he could find a suitable profit sharing plan that the company would adopt it.

.6 TAX ID SET SHARE 0E }aiHR
 SPOILS N0l1I ON

One of the most expressing and difficult tasks of the future n1stori- ap of the great war will be the just appraisal of the share each of the victorious belligerents had in the de feat of Germany and her allies. Such a study, if essayed at the present time, would necessarily lack finality. Yet even now it is possible to sketch the broad lines of the picture. The contributions of France. Great Bri- tain, Italy, Belgium, Serbia, Japan, stand out clearly; their achievements need no heralding. The participation of the United States in the struggle has added imperishable chapters to American history. But while We ac- cord to our European allies just need of praise for their share in the triumph over the Central powers, We are sometimes prone to forget that the United States was not the only in dependent power of the Western Hemisphere which staked its resOur- ces and possibly even it's existence on the defeat of the enemies of civil ization In other terms there exists a real danger that our Latin Amer ican Allies shall not receive a proper recognition for the share they play ed in the great world drama whose concluding act has just been com p1eted in Paris. It is the object of this article to present in brief com pass some account of the reaction of the great war on our sister re- publics of Latin America.
 When, on February 3, 1917, Presi- dent Wilson announced that diplo- matic relations with Germany had been severed he expressed the hope that the remaining neutral states might see fit to follow the example of the United States. There can be little doubt that he had reference to the republics of Latin America. The neutral powers were for the most part in no position to throw down the gauntlet to Germany, while the alignment of China with the Allies caused the greater part of Asia to become involved in the world con- flict
 It has been contended that the at- titude of Uruguay and Peru was tan tamount to a declaration of war, but as their action was not regarded by Germany they could hardly be con- sidered as belligerents. Five repub- Hcs-Bo1ivia, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Uruguay broke relations with Germany; sev- en-Argentina, Chile, Columbia, Mex ico, Salvador, Venezuela and Para gua-remained neutral. Or looked at from another angle, it may be not ed that two-thirds of the total area and three-fifths of the total popula- ton of Latin America voiced in some official manner their solidarity with
