CHILE AND PERU
NEAR AGREEMENT
Purchase of British Ships In
dicates Conclusion on
Tacna-Arica.

BUENOS AIRES, May "a (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press).-
Purchase by Chile of the British
dreadnaught Canada and two British
destroyers is regarded by diplo-
matte circles here as an indication
that events are moving swiftly toward
a definite conclusion of the Tacna-A africa
controversy between Chile and Peru
This dispute has long threatened the
peace of South America. 1t is consid-
cred that such an increase in Chiles
naval power must have an important
bearing on the settlement of the inter-
national dispute for the possession of
the port of africa now held by Chile, but
claimed by both Peru and Bolivia.
While Chiles naval forces already ex-
ceed those of Peru, it is pointed out that
the acquisition at this time of three
fighting ships would constitute power
ful argument to enforce a settlement Of
the differences between the two nations
over the title to the two Pacific prov
inces. Peru's SeaportS, naturally
would be at the mercy of Chile in any
resort to arms.
Purchase Is Significant.
Purchase of the vessels at this time
is believed in some quarters to be es-
peciaiiy significant in view of a widely
held opinion that the Tacna-Arica dis
pute viii reach definite crisis within
year Well informed observers say Peru
will likely seek q settlement of the ques-
ton before the league of nations, of
which she is q member. She is unable

IN u. S. SERVICE FOR 70 YEARS.
TIOS. HARRISON WILL RETIRE
Employed at U. S. Naval
Observatory Here Since
1848.
Sole Survivor of Distinguish
ed Family Was 81 Years
Old Last January.

When. after years of effort. the re-
tirement Jaw for government en-
ployes becomes operative next Au-
gust, it will mark the end of the
active career of a man who for sew
enty-two years has given faithful
service 10 FITS country. a record said
to be uneXceiled in the country's his
tory. This man. the oldest. both in
point of years and length Of service
to be affected by the retirement law,
is Thomas Harrison, born in Wash
ington during the administration of
John Quincy Adams and an employe
OF the United States Naval Observatory
since 184S.
Mr. Harrison. the sole survivor of a
distinguished branch of the Harrison
family, lives in Georgetown, at 2723
n street, and he is still on the active
list though just now he is enjoying
tinue until he is retired. He was
born January 10, 1928, and celebrated
his ninety second birthday anniversary
last January.
In tS4S there died in Washington
one Gustav Vus Harrison, . man who
had served with distinction as an
officer in the war of 1912, and shortly
thereafter his son. Thomas Harrison,
a youth of twenty years, was ap-
pointed TO q clerkship in the Naval

ed in 1S45, and which occupied a
small group of buildings on Camp
Hill" where the Naval Hospital now
stands.
Made Chief Clerk
As the city grew and the work of
| the observatory was extended Mr..
| Harrison also progressed. until he
reached the position of chief clerk. a
position he held for many years. Be
ginning with Admiral Maury. the first
superintendent of the observatory, he
! became intimately acquainted with
every officer that succeeded to that
position.
A few years ago, when advancing
age brought desire for less exact
ing duties, he asked to be reduced in
grade, SO that he might have fewer
responsibilities, and this was done
with reluctance by the Secretary.
Later he asked for a further reduc-
ton, and this request also was grant
ed. While his duties were lighter and

his pay smaller, it did not, however.
lessen in any degree the high regard
in which he was held by the officials
with whom he had served, or his in
fuence in promoting the work of the
observatory.
On several occasions the question
of retirement for Mr.. Harrison has
been up before Congress, and on one
occasion a bill which would have re-
tired him at 500 month passed the
Senate, but failed to pass the House.
The principal objection to it was that
it woulG establish a precedent that
might be abused.
Active Despite Age.
Though in his ninety-third year. Mr..
Harrison today is in better physical
condition than many men twenty
years his Junior. His eye is bright
and his hearing good. but he admits
that he does not get up and down
stairs as nimbly as in former years.
In the hallway of his home hang
pictures of all the naval officers who
have had the direction of the observa-
tory.
In a sunny yard in the rear of the
Harrison home are score OF rose
bushes. with lilies of the valley grow
ing beneath them, and other flowers
scattered here and there. And with
his service for his government COM
pleted, extending over period of
more than the ordinary span of life,

with the same fidelity that he kept
his records during his younger years.

long delayed plebiscite which was to
determine the sovereignty of the prov
inces, and the opinion is held here that
she can expect no arbitra1 aid from the
United States, owing to the fact that
the American government in recent
note to Chile accepted policy of NON
intervention in the Tacna and africa
case.
Chile. on the other hand, will resist
interference by the league of nations.
it is believed. having unequivocally made
her position clear in reply to a note OF
the United States. saying that she will
not accept intervention from any
power or powers" Chile's position Is
that under the terms of the treaty OF
Ancon. her rights are so clear that there
is nothing to arbitrate.
Will Hasten Conclusion.
Consequently, it is predicted that
Chile will hasten the dispute to con-
clusion before it reaches the stage OF
considerable by the league of nations
with the idea of presenting the league
with an accomplished fact, thus fore
stalling Peru's attempt to gain an arpl-
tration.
This accomplished fact it is as
serted, would be the cesslon to BoilVla
of the port of africa in return. pre-
sumably for certain compensauons
Whatever may be the official attltuae
of the Chilean government and notWlth-
standing its repudiation of Peruvian
charges that it has instigated Bolivia
against Peru, it is well known tact IN
South America that Chiles pubncists
and statesmen are entirely IN SYM
pathy with Bolivian aspirations ior an,
outlet to the Pacific. 1t is not Regarded
as strange, therefore, that predictions
are heard that when the Tacna- -Arica
controversy comes to a crisis 1t VIII be
seen that Chile is supporting BOLIVIA
claims.

HAMPERED BY DISPUTE
American Expert Says Childish
Quarrel Is Detrimental to
Both Nations.

ROME. Italy, June 26.-Quarrelng
about childish matters results in
great detriment to both Italy and
Jugoslavia, according to the testi-
mony of an American expert, who
has lust arrived here from Jugo
slavia.
Italy" he said. needs grain and
meat. Jugoslavia had a fine crop last
year and is expecting a bumper har-
vest this autumn. 1t is estimated
that she will have 100000 tons of
grain for export Grain and meat
could be bought in Croatia for about
one-third the price which Italians are
paying today in Chicago. Fortunate
ly for Chicago the two countries are
separated by barrier of hostility and
misconception.
Says America Is Popular.
Naturally America is very popu-
lar in Jugoslavia. Each of five or
six of the towns l visited has street
named after President Wilson. Ital-
ians declare that American interests
are behind Wilson's attitude. In tn {
course of my travels ! saw only one
instance of American commercial en-
terprise in Jugoslavia. An American
firm is exporting from Spalato guam
titles of the pyrethium flower from
which is made insecticide.
"Jugoslavia may have great
future because the inhabitants are a
strong, though backward people. But
it has one great weakness--the lack
of spiritual unity. Today the coun-
try is held together only by outside
pressure. Once this ceases the COM
ponent states will begin pickering.
Talk Of "Great Serbia-Crotia.'
.I heard much talk of great Ser
bia- -Crotia, but no mention of a great
The Serbs are filled with
q warlike ambition and do not want
to settle down to life of peace
They are accused of eating what the
others produce. and the danger of
split will be great. Today the con
tinuance of the war restrictions
makes commerce nearly impossible
On the trip from Zagreb to Trieste
I was examined no less than five
times. Obviously the solution is for
italy and JugosIavia to get together.
