CHILE AND PERU.

Occasionally, in the stress of mat ters seemingly more immediately i'm portant, a noteworthy event is slight ed, With the suggestion that there may be eollusion beween the coal and railway strikers looking to a tying up of coal distribution developing nut of the strike situation, and the criti- cal situation in regard tp hotn strikes, the matter of the agreement between the plenipotentaries of Chile and Peru to srbitrate their differences is comparatively little noticed
 Yet this event is of sufficient lm- portance to draw from Secretary of State Hughes the comment T be- lieve this to be the dawn of 8 new day in Latin America. .. It is easy to talk of the prevention of war but inevitably there will be differe ences and serious controversies and if these are not to be settled by force there must be peaceful solutions which can be had only through the efforts of governments which determinedly seek peace
 Some forty-o years ago Thomas Edison wrote that he would surely be able to perfect an invention which would reproduce the human voice. Probably even he did not realize to what perfection the resultant phono- graph would be carried.
 The agreement regarding the dis pute over Tacna- Africa. ancient per picking. now to be arbitrated by the countries concerned, is the adoption of the conference plan of international negotiation. The coming years will show to what degree of perfection that plan will be carried. The event is worthy of more than passing note az the first practical demonstration of what the conference plan will, some day. accomplish.

RECOGNITION OF MEXICO

A news dispatch says recognition ei the obregon government in Mexico awaits some definite action by that government affirming the announced purposes of the present Mexican off. cials in relation to matters in which the United States government or American citizens aye interested.
