of ten years and let the vote of the
inhabitants decide whether the
province would remain part Of. Chile
or revert to Peru.
But that plebiscite was never held.
Chile kept putting it off, and finally,
in 1922, Peru appealed to President
Harding, who agreed to act as
arbitrator between the two countries.
This job was inherited by President
Coolidge.
Coolidge decided, naturally, that
1.-THE plebiscite' must be held now.
This tickled the Chileans and en-
ragged the Peruvians. For during
Chile's thirty-tive-year possession of
the province most of the Peruvians
had been driven out. Tacna and
africa were thoroughly Chileanized.
The vote, it seemed, could have only
one result.
Accordingly, Coolidge sent General
Pershing to the scene at the head
of an American commission with or
ders to see that a fair vote was held.
Under Pershing's orders, Chile,
whose army had planned to super
wise" the election. was to keep her
hands off while the vote was being
taken. Peru was elated. The ex-
PEELED Peruvian nationals began to
swarm back into Tacna.
Now Chile was sore-good and
sore. Her commissioners announced
fatty that they would have nothing
to do with such a plebiscite. They
would not participate in the vote and
would not recognize its result.
With matters in this deadlock, it
was announced that General Perish
ing was i'll and must return to the
United States in the near future.
And while his sickness may be very
genuine, it is suspected in Washing
ton that his action is a diplomatic
gesture of the sort President Wilson
made at Paris, when he ordered the
George Washington to stand by at
Havre and threatened to quit the
Versailles conference and go home
Just how the matter will finally be
disposed of is something official
Washington would like to know. No
matter what is done, there is a
chance that Peru and Chile viii go
to war. And, either way, one or the
other Of these two nations will hate
the United States for its part as
mediator job the two nations
wished on this country.

EU7 ASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Tacna-
.IWI africa, the k4lsace-Lorraine of
South America, is pot full
of diplomatic trouble that is on the
verge of boiling over and creating a
very nasty mess.
1t is a situation, in fact, that may
easily lead to war. And, as usual,
the unoffending, well-wishing peace
maker will probably make himself
thoroughly unpopular, no matter
what the outcome.
To understand this situation it is
necessary to go back nearly half a
century. Tacna is small province
on the west coast Of South America
at the extreme northern tip OF Chile.
1t is bordered on the north by Peru
and on the west by Bolivia, and
originally was held by Peru, with
Bolivia having some more or less
shadowy joint claim.
This barren little province is full
of rich nitrate beds. Further, africa,
the principal city, occupies strong
position that makes 1t possible To
be made the strongest fortified port
on the coast. Hence it's Importance.
Chile had begun exploiting the
nitrate fields while the province was
still under the Peruvian flag. In
1879 Chile decided to extend its con-
troll, declared war on Peru and
Bolivia, whipped them to frazle,

force of arms,
Boiivia's cl4im was dropped. But
Peru protesteh so loudly that when
the peace treaty was signed the
