There were perades and meetings, but
no disorder Of any Importance occurred.
In all the cities of the republic the same
calmness prevailed. The crisis passed
which was caused by the suspension OF
work ut the termination Of the war. The
workmen are finding new fields of aotiv-
lily in the industries, and II 10 believed
that this state Of we'll being will 70 on
uninterrupted. The disaster in Arsen-
tine industries has presented a situation
that the Chilean laborer wishes to avoid.
Partial Change OF Cabinet-By reason
OF the political system there have been
changes Of the personnel Of the Cabinet.
The Minister OF the Interior IL Senior An
selma Hevia Riquelme. former pleni-
potentiary to Brasil Japan and Mexico.
Senior Hevia Requeime assisted Presi-
dent Madero Of Mexico till his last mo-
ments. when Huerta took him prisoner
and resolved to assassinate him. The
Minister Of Justice and Public Instruc-
tion Ia Senior Pablo Ramirez, one Of the
youngest statesmen Of Chile, and a lead
ing figure in the courts, In politics and
In the university. Senor Ramirea be-
longs TO group of intellectual young
men, educated in the modern school of
law and sociology. to whom Chile owes
a large part Of her surprising social
progress. Senior Ramirez has belonged
to the House of Representatives during
two sessions and Is the leader Of the
radical party. The young Minister has
done much in promoting progressive and
peacemaking ideas for his country
through the channel Of public instruc-
ton. and the Government has given
much attention to his efforts against
illiteracy.
Nitrate-when the peace treaty Is
tn IL -
the export OF nitrate productions will in
crease considerably, as Europe needs to
revive its agriculture. Further. II 10
believed that the critical situation of
Germany being obliged to pay enormous
sums and when financially very weak
Will not permit her to engage in the
manufacture of expensive fertilizers, for
which reason large quantities OF Chilean
nitrate should be used in agriculture.
Also countries which previously knew
little Of Chilean nitrates will now buy
them. as they realize their extraordinary
Importance for agricultural uses.
Special Embassy for England--It 10
said that in October next a special en-
bassy will 60 to England to return the
visit made to Chile by the English Am.
bassador. Sir Maurice dc Bunsen.
Arbitration-A treaty of arbitration
has been signed with England
Latin Section Of THE sUN-EI Msr-
curio, La Union, La Motion and 81
Vidsio IhIstrudo refer to the Latin Amer
lean section Of THE Sun Of New York
and praise the splendid idea Of a great
American Newspaper giving recognition
to Latin America, by which means the
United States will lose a false impress
sion Of the Latin American race and Of
the confusion which has existed between
the most diversified countries Of the con-
tinent. IT Is asked that on this great
occasion of American consolidation the
people OF the United States will try TO
understand more nearly Latin America,
to distinguish the aspirations, the char
acter and the Importance OF each one Of
the twenty-five republics OF the three
Americas and their ideals Of progress
The newspapers mentioned. which are
the principal ones of the capital, inti-
mate that there will soon be effected n
Psn-American Congress Of Newspapers
as one of the truly useful means of
working for the mutual knowledge of all
the countries OF America and for the
harmony of their political and moral
relations.
False Reports About Chile-A tele-
graphic report has been transmitted OF
an editorial article of the New York
Commercial, in which 1t Is said that 90
German blood. This statement could
not be more false or OF worse intention
for In Chile there are only about $4,000
persons born in Germany or of German
origin among the 100000 Inhabitants
which the country has This proportion
10 Insignificant in comparison to the
number OF Germans in Brazil. Argentina,
the United States and other countries
In Chile the few Germans have no politi-
cal influence, and 1t could be seen that
in the case OF the last elections the Ger
man Chileans voted and worked for the
candidates recognized for their allied
ideas.
Retirement Of Two Chilean Ofhcers--
The announcement made by the foreign
press OF a military conspiracy TO over
throw the Government and establish IN
Chile the rule OF the sovlets under the
direction OF the soldiers and workmen Is
entirely false. Though the Socialist aki-
tation has been considerable enough.
nevertheless Chile has not had to sufrer
any OF the disorders which have afflicted
the Argentine Republic in spite Of the
nearness Of the latter and the easy
means OF communication between the
two countries. The Government has
taken extreme measures TO prevent the
Introduction Into the country OF danger
Gus elements. The truth about the Incl
dent to which allusion was made Is that
the Government held II not in accordance
with the traditional discipline of the
army OF Chile that a group OF officers
should assume 20 deliberate upon the
manner in which the Bolshevstic propa-
ganda should be avoided in Chile. This
gave opportunity to express some ideas
that the Government and the military
supervisors held as contrary to discipline
and then they imposed severe punish
ment on the officers involved. Gems.
Moore and Armstrong. who were parties
to the incident. suffered the penalty OF
being suspended from the army. In spite
OF their large and lengthy service for the
country. This indicates that the Repub-
lie OF Chile maintains without weaken
ing the tradition of a firm Government
and with the controlled spirit which 10

postal convention has Just been signed
between tho Governments OF the United
States and the Chilean Ambassador IN
Washington, according to which the par.
cells post service remains In force be-
tween the two countries. has been well
received here. This will permit the COM
merce between these countries to in
crease greatly.
