PARAGUAY TO
 BECOME MECCA
 OF THERMOMETERS

Ascuncion, Aug. - Paraguay will become the mecca and home of Mennonites from the United States and other parts of the world, if a bill sent to the Chamber of Deputies by President Gondra becomes a law.
 Delegates of the sect who arrived here some time ago from the Unit ed States have negotiated for the purchase of about 5000 square miles of land in the great Paraguayan 'tChaco" for purposes of colonization conditional upon the Paraguayan government granting privileges which ony in conformity with the tenets of their religion and their system of common administration of their prop critics, called -4Walsenhurst.''
 President Gondra has recommend ed to the House that these conces- sions be made, which include the ex- emption of the Menonites from miH- tary service either in peace or in war, the prohibition of the sale of alco- holic beverages in their territory, the right to establish their own schools, which would be conducted in the Ger man language. and in addition, the privilege of importing free of duty household articles and agricultural implements for a period of ten years.
 The President says that the es- tabhshnent of the colony would be a beginning of the solution of the prob lem of populating the republic and augmenting it's productive capa city, tn Ire being vast stretches of uninhab- tied territory of great productive val ue. He accompanied his recom- mendatfons with a history of the Mennonites, reciting their qualities of industry, self-disciplinet and 'collec- tive Virtue.'
 The delegates have notified the gov ernment that upon the approval of the measure more than 4,00o Mennonites | in the United States, Canada and Rus sia are prepared to emigrate to Para quay
