TACNA AND AFRICA: STA.
MESE TWINS OF
GEOGRAPHY

Tacna and AFRICA The words are
fast becoming as inseparable as the
Gold Dust Twins, the Dolly Sisters, or
Mutt and Jeff.
The regions form territorial bone
Of contention among Chile. Peru and
Bolivia. The province of Tacna. COM
posed of the department of Tacna and
africa, is shown on maps made in Chile
as the northernmoSt province of that
country, and on maps made in Peru
as the southernmost province of Peru,
bordered on the north by the Rio
Sauna and on the east by Bolivia
Its broad uplands are rich in nitrate,
and on the Bay Of africa, at the ter
minus of one railroad leading to La
PaZ and the interior of Bolivia, and
of another running to ports TO the
south. the delightful city of africa Is
situated, giving the pOssessOr of the
territory a great advantage in South
American affairs from both political
and commercial standpoints. Here Is
ample reason why these two South
American republics want il, and why
Bolivia hopes that, in the adjustment,
she will have an outlet to the sea ac-
corded her.
The trouble over this region arose
originally from the fact that, in the
days of the early Spanish settlers, the
country was so vast that few hun
dred SUuare miles more or less made
no difference in the affairs of the col
Ony, and when the colonies organized
themselves into republics they still
were too busy with their internal prob
lens to bother about where their
boundaries began and where they end
ed. This condition was true not only
of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, but of most
of the other South American republics,
as indicated by the numerous bound
airy questions which have been in dis
pute during the last decade.
So matters drifted until the middle
Of the nineteenth century, when guanO

WARSAW: THE PARIS OF
POLAND

No other people, in all the worlds
history. has borne oppression so brave
ly and gloriously as the Poles. except
the Jews: and Warsaw. where the
Russians had TO keep a garrison of
100000 troops TO Overawe city of
100000 people" is to Poland what
Paris IS to France.
Indeed the vivacity. the gayety and
the quick wit of Warsaw's people are
a constant reminder of Paris; as well
as those deeper likenesses which
spring from WarSaws ascendancy in
the letters, the arts and the social
graceS.
All this, too, in city where the
most gruesOme tragedies have stalked.
As recently as the years of our own
Civil war the Russian army moved
down thousands Of men and women
as they knelt in the snow, singing their
national anthem. DepOrtatiOns are an
old story in Warsaw. every effort at
naturalization was followed by
slaughter and hundreds marched the
long trail 10 siberian exile.
But Poland's spirit meanwhile, be-
came a synonym for the indOmitable.
The success of the classification of Po-
land has been described as the process
of keeping 100000 Poles pinned to
Russia by bayOnets. Politically non
existent, for even Poland's name was
expunged from all official Russian rec
Ords, the pre-war Warsaw We'd with
world capitals in science, particularly

an in literature.
Though Warsaw betrayed none of
the grimneSS characteristic of Russian
cities. reminders of her by-gone glories
and tragedies were TO be found even
before the World war restored her au-
tOcracy.
