Billy Kane looked at her for a

She was in deadly earnest, he

a certain sense of humor here, too
"a grim humor, with something OF

mirth. Red Vallon's code order
was quite as meaningless to him

In witnessing the testing of these ma
chimes at their Peoria plant had the op-
portunity to see what their clutches would
do; they are marked in such way that
the amount of slippage can be determined
at the end of each test.
AS to which type of clutch and trans
mission is best to transmit the power to
the drive wheels of machine whether it
be car, truck or tractor is question that
automotive engineers do not agree on, each
type has its sponsors and in way each
group of men are right, as far as they go,
but it is possible that some one may yet
devise some type superior to any now in
use, either new one or combination of
any of the ones in use; there is room for
plenty of improvement along this line.

CHILE AND PERU

In 1883 a war between Chile and Peru
over a question of territory ended after
four years fighting in victory for Chile.
In the treaty of peace Peru ceded to Chile
Internationally the province of Tarapaca
and granted to Chile the occupation and
government of the province of Tacna for
ten years. At the end of that time the peo-
pie of the territory in dispute were to de-
eide by vote to which country they should
belong; but only those who were born in
the province, or who had lived there three
years and could read and write, were to
be permitted to vote.
The ten-year period ended in 1894, but
the vote has never been taken. Negotia-
tions to arrange when and how the de-
cision should be made have repeatedly
been started, but have always broken
down. Revolutions in Peru and spirit
of punctilio have been the most frequent
cause of failure. 1t was point of the
\ agreement of 1888 that the country to
which the people should give their allie
glance should pay the loser ten million
dollars. The Chileans believe that the
reason it is so hard to get the Peruvians
to agree to any plan is that they lack the
ready money to pay the sum agreed upon
if the decision should be in their favor.
All this time the unsettled question has
made the relations between the two coun-
tries most unsatisfactory. The Chilean
population in Tacna has become propor-
tionally much larger than it was, and if
the vote were taken now it would probab-
ly result in favor of Chile. The situation
has lately become so strained that the
countries have been almost on the verge of
war, and so it has been suggested that the
question be referred to the President of the
United States.
This country is strictly neutral in the
controversy, for it is as friendly to Chile
as to Peru. If our government were to
undertake to decide between them it would
almost inevitably become an object of dis
like to the nation against which it ruled,
as happened IN the late dispute between
Panama and Costa Rica; yet if both
parties should invite us to decide we could
hardly refuse.
Tacna is not in itself of great value. Its
area is almost exactly the same as that of
New Hampshire, but it has a population
of less than fifty thousand Even without
Tacna Chile stetches over thirty-fve de-
grees of south latitude-a distance about
as great as from the mouth of Hudson Bay
to the tip of Florida; but it occupies only
narrow fringe of land on the western
coast of South America between the Paci-
fc Ocean and the Andes. If Chile were
confirmed in its possession of Tacna it
would add about one hundred miles to its
coast line.-Ex.
