REQUESTS EARLY
TACNA-AR|CA VOTE
Chile Would Advance Date for
PIebiscite to Save Excess
sive Military Expense.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO. Chile. December ia
The text of the note addressed yes
terday by Chile to Peru in regard to
the dispute over the provinces of
plebiscite, provided under the treaty
of Ancon, be advanced so as to do
away with the necessity for MAIN
tenance of excessive military estab-
lishments.
The note. written by the Chilean
foreign minister, Ernesto Barros
Jarpa. points out that the negotia-
tions carried on in 1912 with view
to fixing the basis upon which to
their final details by causes well
known"
Would Settle Dispute.
1t asserts that President Alessan-
dri has determined rapidly to seek
manner of solving the dispute.
1T is true" says the note. that
the 1912 proposal pOstpones celebra-
| ton of the plebiscite until 1898. but
such postponement would be equiva-
of cause of possible international
conflicts, obliging Peru and Chile.
and perhaps other countries. to sup
port excessive military establish
ments by war. We have invited the
nations of this continent to dedicate
their best efforts to development of
their natural riches"
The note expresses hope that the
plebiscite may be held at an earlier
date than that set in the 1912 pro-
posal and invites Peru without loss
of time to carry into practice the
resolutions celebrated in 1912.
The 1912 negotiations were the last
official parleys concerning the two
former Peruvian provinces which
have been under Chilean administra-
ton since the war Of 1879. These
negotiations extended several months
and finally broke down as the result
of various difficulties, among which
are said to have been the opposition
of the congresses of both republics.
especially that of Peru. under the
late President Guillermo Billinghurst.
IL Fulfillment of article III OF the
Ptreaty of Ancon signed October 20.
1888. which provides for plebisctte
definitely to determine the sovereign
ty of the disputed provinces. general
ly has been conceded to have been
the stumbling block to an agree
ment between the two states.

It's been the habit OF mankind 20

But sharks must always turn TO flsh

And on his dainty brotherkins he

But there are many other things a
shark will hardly do.
He does not hunt us with a hook
concealed in tempting bait;
He doesn't slaughter just for sport
or sentimental hate;
He doesn't publish magazines by
writer's highly skilled
In telling where the human race
may best be caught and killed;
He doesn't think OF slaughter as
gay and merry lark
Because the shark, At very worst, IS
nothing but a shark.
