Minister From Peru Tells of
Grievance Against Ambitious

eriCan Republic,
rsy MORNING JOURNAL srss,., LEASED w,ssi

Washington Jan. 25.--Dr, Francis
co Tudela, the new minister of Peru,
whose recent arrival in the United
States was coincident with the deVel-
opment into serious state of the
long-standing controversy between
Peru and Chile, in statement today
said:
The world knows the origin of the
bitter relations between Peru and
Chile. Chile made n war of conquest
against Peru and Bolivia in 1879, hav-
ing accumulated, during previous
years considerable armaments for this
purpose. Chile took possession of the
rich saltpeter province of Tarapaca,
belonging to Peru, and wrested from
Bolivia all her coast. converting that
nation into an inland country, and
took possession of the Peruvian prov
ince of Tarata. not mentioned in the
treaty of peace. All of the diplomatic
documents show that Chile intends
only to extend and strengthen her
conquest.
Relations Broken Off.
I'm the last few weeks, more vio-
lence has been done to Peruvians in
Tarapaca and the scandalouS expul-
sion of the Peruvian consul in Iquique
obliged the Peruvian government to
withdraw her consuls from Chile so
that all relations between the two
countries have ceased
Much irritation has been caused in
Chile because of the opinion expressed
by the Peruvian newspapers that the
principles of President Wilson should
be applied to the controversy pending
since the Chilean war of 1879 Peru
approved, enthusiastically these prin-
ciples and cast her lot definitely for
the cause defended by the allies and
the United States. The fruit of this
irritation was the vic;ent outbreak at
Iquique and Pisagua.
Mediation Offef Popular.
The offer of mediation by Presi-
dent Wilson between Peru and Chile
has been well received in Peru, which
recalls the efforts made by the United
States during the war of 1898. to
prevent the implanting of a regime Of
conquest in America. The mediation
of the United States at this time had
in view this important object, Presi-
dent Garfield and Secretary Blaine de-
manded of Chile that she content her
self with a pecuniary indemnity and
that she respect the territorial integ-
rity of Peru and Bolivia. The assas-
sination OF Garfield dis urbed the in
ternational politics of the United
States and Chile took advantage of
this to realize her plans for extension,
plans which have introduced the
armed peace in South America"

Ida Won SeydlitZ fluctuated between
Russia and Germany. In Petrograd
she became intimate with Kurt Obra-
nouski. He was one of the directors
of the Russian state navy yard. A
Pole by birth, she hated, Many Poles
hated Russia so much that they would
even consort with Germany. Perhaps
Orbanouski was one of these. The
facts are that Orbanouski was di-
rector cf machinery in the imperial
Russian navy yard that during the
period of his acquaintance with Ida
Won SeydlitZ he had been watched by
the Russian secret police; that he had
made trips to Berlin: that he was be-
,lieved by Russia to have secret con-
nection with the German admiralty;
that in August of 1914 when Germany
declared war Won Russia, Kurt Orba :
nouski, director of a Russian navy
yard, left his country. He came ito

OMAHA WILL Be
Center OF ARMY
BALLOON WORK
All Experimental Work to Be
Conducted at Local Post;
Activity to Be Greatly
Increased,

Over 1000 men will be stationed
at Fort Omaha in the near future,
according to Maj M. J. O'Brien, ad-
jutant. This increase in men is made
necessary by plans to make the fort
a center for balloon experimental
work for the entire army, announced
Tuesday at Washington.
There are four companies at Fort
Omaha now, the 9th, 18th, 18th and
9th. Three additional companies,
probably companies which will re-
turn shortly from overseas service,
will be stationed at the fort, Majo
O'Brien says. This will make a
total of seven complete companies,
which will be permanently stationed
here.
Activity in lighter than air work
will also be greatly increased, &C
cording to Major O'Brien,
To Increase Capacity.
Fort Omaha was officially desig-
mated as the center for experimental
work for the entire army three
months ago." he said, "but it was
not made public until now. AS a
matter of fact, all equipment for
balloon work has been tested at
Fort Omaha for some time. From
now on the capacity of the fort will
be increased, and it will become one
of the most important military CEN
tiers of the country. Every new type
of balloon will be tried out here
before it is used by the United
States army"
: The plan, as announced by the
chief of the air service, is to greatly
increase the activities at Fort Oma-
ha, but until the War department is
advised of various items carried in
the military appropriation bill,
which was agreed upon in confer
ence late Tuesday, the enlarged &C
tivities at the fort will be specula-
tive, it is said. Officers of the air
service stated, however. that Fort
Omaha is to be made the one big
balloon center of the country.
Men Return to Fort.
Air material and balloon men who
have been stationed at Fort Crook,
have all been moved back to Fort
Omaha to make room for the Goth
infantry, a portion of which arrived
western morning, Major O'Brien an
nounced Wednesday.
