VALPARAISO, WHERE OUR
FLEET VISITED

Valparaiso, home of Chile's naval
academy, was visited recently by the
United States Pacific fleet while the
Atlantic fleet was anchored at Callao,
Peru.
The harbor of Valparaiso, while not
so remarkable as that of Rio de ia
neiro where tropical verdure runs riot
among granite crags, nor so idyllic as
vivid, sun-bathed Naples, still deserves
to rank with them and three or four
others as the most beautiful and strfk-
ing of the important harb0rs of the
world. 1t is no detraction to say that
Valparaiso's name-"Vale of Para
dise"-is not merited. Such a name
suggests soft lines, rolling greensward,
fiower-strewn meadows, shady paths,
noble groves. The beauty of VAL
paraiso is more austere.
Sailing into Valparaiso the voyager
enters wide semi-circular bay flanked
by high capes. On a narrow level
strip of ground that borders the curv-
ing shore line is the well built busi-
ness section Of the city. Behind and
above this level portion of Valparaiso
tower bluffs and steep semi-arid hills.
These highlands once hemmed in the
old city, but modern Valparaiso has
burst its bonds. Fine castle-like resi-
dences now cling to the slopes of many
Of the hills or perch upon the edges
of the bluffs.
Valparaiso has a population of $780,
600. 1t is by far the most important
South American Pacific port, and the
annual value of it's commerce exceeds
that of Montevideo on the Atlantic
coast.
/ While Beunos Aires and Montevideo
on the east coast have been handi-
capped by the shallowness Of their
harbors, Valparaiso's difficulties have
lain in the opposite direction. Its
waters are so deep that the building
of breakwaters and jetties was de-
layed until 1912. The carrying out
of the entire harbor improvement now
under way will cost $15,000O00 or
more.
In 1906, the year in which San Fran
cisco was destroyed by earthquake
and fire, Valparaiso was also devas-
tated by the same two forces of de-
struction. Like San Francisco, South
Americas greatest Pacific port city
has risen from it's crumbled stone and
ashes not merely to rehabilitate itself,
but to become even greater and more
prosperous.
Valparaiso is in practically the same
latitude as Buenos Aires, Cape Town,
and Sydney. and is about the same
distance from the equator in the south
as San Francisco and Charleston, S.
c., in the north. Because of South
America's position considerably to the
east Of North America, Chile's great
est port is almost due south of New
York, and therefore has about the
same time.
Warships are always to be found
in the harbor of Valparaiso, for this
is one of Chile's chief naval bases. 1t
is also the location of the Chilean
naval academy, whose buildings, on
a great promontory, dominate the har-
Dor. No better view of the city and
harbor of Valparaiso can be had than
that from the parked grounds of this
fine institution.

subjugation of Belgium and the depor

subjugation of Belgium and the depor
tatiOn of it's workers.
About the middle of the twelfth cen
fury few German merchants estab-
lished settlements about the mouth OF
the Dvina. which empties into the Gulf
of Riga nine miles below the present
city of Riga. WhereupOn Bishop Al
bert, in the role Of missionary, sought
to colonize the territory in 1901 by
building a town where Riga now
stands and the following year he
founded the Brethren of the Sword.
The new order was well named. 1t
killed where it could not convert,
though slaughter was not the main OBJ
ject after foothold on the promising
Baltic port was obtained. The 'mis-
sionaries" were satisfied to reduce the
native population to serfdom, ap-
propriate the land, and build fortified
towns and castles to uphold this min
iature feudal system in a land they
aimed to exploit.
But the Livonians are a liberty low
ing people. They resisted despotism
then, and many times later, just as
year or so ago they rebelled against
BOlshevism. When their early oppres-
sors became too severe they arose and
drove out the missionaries" Later
Livonia, and Riga, which became it's
capital, espoused the Christian relig-
ion; and the Order of the Sword
merged with the Teutonic Knights and
continued to operate In other quarters.
Though Prussia's political hold was
shaken off Riga, it maintained its
| economic ties there, and individual
Germans usually have been important
| factors in its commerce. This phase
| of German influence was consum-
mated when Riga, In the thirteenth
century, became a member of the
Hanseatic league, the first great trust
| which for two centuries controlled
practically all the trade channels of
| continental Europe north of the Alps.
The third modern aspect of medi-
eval Riga is to be found in the FAM
GUS 'Blackheads." 1t was this body
which soon came to have the civic i'm
portance, and apparently many Of the
functions, of a chamber of commerce
or board Of trade today.
Originally it was organized by the
young traders who came 10 Riga, as
a social club, to afford fellowship in
addition to the needful board and
lodgings during their sojourn Since
the members were mostly young men,
| progressive, and somewhat assertive,
they took their name to distinguish
themselves from their elders, or grey
boards. Naturally their table talk
turned to ways of promoting business,
and soon the club became, in effect, an
organization for Bigger, Better and
Buster Riga" as the modern trade body
would phrase it.
From the beginning Of the World
war Riga was an objective of the
Central powers, because of it's impor-
tance as a focal point for the lumber
from White Russia and Volhynia, the
fax from northwestern Russia, and
other products from a wide area with
which it has rail and water communi-
cation. Its pre-war prosperity is in
dicated by the growth of its popula-
ton from 100000 in 1867 to more than
100000 in 1913.

trio car in the city of Cailao the trav-
eler alights at one of the many plaZas
in Lima, the capital of Peru and a
thriving city of 100000 inhabitants.
Not far away he will find the center
of the city's life and traGitiOnS-the
Plaza Mayor, or great square" All
of the city's street car lines radiate
from this center as though represent
ing the influence and power that radi-
ated from the same spot to all South
America when Lima was the "City
of the King" On one side of the
Plaza Mayor rises the cathedral with
its lofty twin towers. Pizarro is said
to have laid the foundation stones.
His mummy is now exhibited inside
the structure.
Facing another side of the main
plaza is the old vice-regal palace, still
used for governmental purposes. Not
far away is the oldest university in
the western hemisphere. the Universi-
dad de San Marcos, established more
than half century before the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth. In the Lima of
the present the classic old Universi-
dad shares the educational field with
the thoroughly modern technical col
leges devoted to engineering, medi-
cine and agriculture.
Lima and CallaO, thought of vaguely
perhaps by many as somewhere near
the northern end of South America's s
Pacific coast, are approximately 1000
miles south of Panama-as far from
the isthmus as Key West is from Nova
Scotia. Though only ten degrees south
of the equator, and therefore well
within the tropics, these cities, due
to the dryness of the western slopes
of the Andes and to the cold Humboldt
Current that washes the coast, have
an eQuable climate. The temperature
in summer December to May) sell
dom rises above so degrees Fahren-
heit, and in winter rarely falls below
60 degrees.

He who thinks that vast monopolies

reads the history of Riga, chief city
of Latvia, on the Baltic, through which
city such intercourse as has been had
with Russia in recent months has
largely been carried on.

The Horse in Painting.

No real interest was taken in the
horse until Vandyck's time, he and
Rubens doing more for it than all
previous painters put together. Rubens
was a good rider, and rode nearly
every day, as. doubt not, Vandyck
also. The venetians, as was natural,
