have been also brought before the conference by the Bolivian peace del egate, Senator Montes. It was decid- ed, it is understood here, to postpone the question for early settlement by the league.
 These problems held for Bolivia, hemmed in on all sides by other tsates, the realization of her greatest political and commercial ambition. her own territorial outlet to the sea. Pos session of the port of Africa would give her an outlet to the Pacific. and. curious as it may seem, possession of the Chaco, or at least part of it, would give her egrcss to the Atlantic. For the Chaco borders the great river Paraguay, affluent of the river Platte, and on the Chaco side of the river, 1000 miles from Buenos Aires, is q little port called Bahia Negra. Here ocean steamships from the United States and Europe could take on car 20 transported across the northern edge of the Chaco from the Bolivian mines and farms.
 But in the year 1886, few years after Bolivia had lost in war the Pa cific port of Antofagasta and was turning her eyes eastward, Bahia Ne gra was seized by Paraguay and has been in her possession ever since. Paraguay, furthermore, made land al lotments in the Chaco, whose unsur- passed pasture and great quebracho forests were beginning to attract the white man. A mysterious, unexplored land, stretching northward from the Pilcomayo river on the Argentine bor- der and westward from the river Par aguay into undisputed Bolivian terri tory, it has not been directly crossed

lMcAdOO In Speech
 Lauds Patriotism
 of Vars Veterans

Huntington, N. r., July G. Yielding to the noisy demand ot 5oo Huntington villagers assembled for Independence Day exercises, William Gibbs McAdoo today delivered hls first public utterance since the dem- ocratic national convention began.
 Speaking extemporanously, he took as his theme patriotism and devotion to the vision of liberty held by the revolutionary fathers.
 "We are here today because small group of patriots met together and had the vision to conceive great idea and the courage to carry it out" he said.
 "No progress has ever been ach-

by white man since the days of the Spanish conquerors, since the veal l54S, to be exact. Except near tht rivers, it is inhabited only by savage Indian tribes to this day, but botf nations looked forward to it's possi bilities, which recently have included that of finding petroleum.
 Bolivia protested the seizure ol Bahia Negra and also made land al. lotments in the Chaco. It is true that Bolivia had an eastern outlet already by the river Paraguay, but her com. merce had to go through the Brazilian river port of Corumba, little north of Bahia Negra, moving down from the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz by mule team, along the northern edge of the Chaco, as it still does.
 To uphold their claims both govern. ments unearthed musty archives in Madrid dealing with the expeditions of the Spanish conquerors and the land grants of the Spanish Crown in South America. Various diplomatic negotiations have been initiated be. tween the two governments from time to time looking to division of the territory, but either one congress or the other refused to ratify the agree. ments which the diplomats drew up.
 The report of the American peace experts on the question was placed in official archives against the time when the league of nations was ready to take uD the matter. Much of the material, it is learned, was supplied by young American sent to Soutf America to investigate and whose private opinion is that logical settle. ment of the dispute would be an equal division of the territory, but which

 He turned toward group of ClVi' War veterans seated on the platform and continued: !,
 "These men responded to the call to yindicate liberty and as a result organized great union strong enough to vindicate democracy ana destroy autocracy when the call came.'

Some of these are vast in extent. One citizen from Argentina has secured in Paraguayan grants sole title to an area larger than Holland and Bel gium combined.

Believes in Vaccinations

Mayor Bucknell is a firm believer
in vaccination. The fact that the
small pox is prevalent over the
country this year and that it visited
this community, prompted people, to
get vaccinated. 1t was the physic-
ians advice that it was the one ZEAL
preventative, as statistics kproved
that people who were vaccinSted idid
not take the disease. Cases that lex
listed here were reported to- Mayor
Bucknell and he had an opportunity
to observe whether or not there was
anything to the idea, and he tells
US that in every instance where a
case was reported that the person
had never been vaccinated. No cases
were reported sof any one being sick
who had been vaccinated, unless it
was one or two who had been taken
ill a few days previous to it.

DECLINE OF GREAT MEN.
Are There no Longer Such in the
World.

Many people are convinced that
there are no longer any great men
in the world. They look over the poll
teal leaders Of these times, and they
do not find among them any Web
'sters or Jeffersons or Hamiltons.
According to their philosophy, the
present tendency of progress is for
the masses of people to organize and
engineer their own movements. They
hold that the mass of the people
have acquired so much intelligence,
that they tend TO go ahead and carry
out theireown plans, representing
mass conviction of great numbers OF
people rather than the genius of the
few.
In all ages there has been a ten
dency to depreciate living men.

he lives people see his petty side ant
