ASKS EFFICIENCY
OF URUGUAY ARMY
South American Believes War Is
Coming on That Continent

| Montevideo, Aug. 14.-Senator Gil
menoz de Arechaga, one of the Urugu-
\ ayan delegates to the recent Pan
American conference at Santiago yes.
| terday interpelated the minister oil
war regarding the real state of eff
cheney of the Uruguayan army in the
| event of an international conflict"
Col. Riveros, the minister replied
| that the government had appointed
special committees to study the prob
lens involved in effecting better
organization of the army and navy
He added that the government would
send to congress bill proposing a
new plan for the organization of the
army in accordance with the progress
attained by military technique.
Menace of War
In the course of the Interpolation,
Senator Arechaga maintained that If
all nations of the South American con-
tinent were not near war they were
confronted with the prospect of living
in an armed peace or under the con-
slant menace of war.
The Santiago conference" he said,
"as well as majority of the South
American press show the existence of
deep currents of opinion which agitate
the multitudes on this continent. Mis-
givings exist between all the American
nations
Argentine and Brazil
The senator said the most disquiet-
ing factor in the continental situation
was in Argentine and Brazil.
Senator Arechaga analysed the
military and naval developments in
both these countries, giving figures
which he said showed the exaggerat-
ed ornaments of Brazil. This, he ad-
ded, was undeniably the cause of the
prevailing disquietude of the contin-
ent.
