AMERICANS READY
To LEAVE TACNA
mi-0fficiaI Chilean Paper
Attacks U. S. as "De-
vourer of Races"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LIMA, Peru, June 12.-The Peru
Wan government has rejected the
latest formula presented by Chile for
q settlement of the Tacna and africa
territorial dispute. The Associated
Press correspondent was informed to
this effect by authoritative sources.
TACNA, Chile, June 12.-Reports
have been received here that the
American delegation on the Tacna-
africa Plebiscitary Commission has re-
served a large portion of the available
accommodations on northbound steam
ers. during the next two weeks.
Fifteen American registration in
spectors, whose work came to an end
recently, will sail for the United
States tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the Chilean cabinet is
seeking advice from its legal advisers
in Washington as to what attitude
should be taken by Chile on the reso-
luton recently introduced by Gen.
Lassiter, chairman of the commission,
stating that carrying out of the pleb-
iscite is impossible at this time.
The semi-off1cial Pacifico today calls
for the emphatic defeat of the Lassiter
resolution or for the immediate depar-
ture of all delegations. AT the same
time the paper declares that und II no
circumstances will Chile abandon any
part of Tacna africa if the plebiscite
is not carried out.
An editorial asserts that Chile will
never give up what she has gained
through war that she will defend her
legitimate rights and that she will
only eVacuate the territory if she
ShO1ll1 lose the nlphiSrifa
An article in Pacifico further de-
clares that Chile entered into arbitra-
ton thinking the United States would
amicably help the settlement of the
boundary dispute with Peru. Now it
develops, the article says, that Chile,
Peru and Bolivia were called to de-
stroy each other and deliver into the
hands of the dragon of the North, the
product of their best energies"
But this time" Pacifico concludes,
the blond devourers of races are COM
mitting an error, for Chile has not
been created in order to be a meal for
the rapacious bird"
State Department officials are in
clined to the view that the plebi-
scitary commission in africa has ample
authority to declare by resolution the
impossibility Of holding a fair plebi-
scite in Tacna and africa.
1t is their opinion that the authori-
ty can be exercised by the commits
sion at any time it elects. before, dur
ing. or after the balloting.
This conviction would seem to fore
cast the rejection by President Cool
idge, as arbiter, of any appeal by
Chile from decision that the plebi-
scite Is impossible.

IOWA c. 0, P, PAVES
WAY FOR A TRUCE
WITH BROOKHART
State Organization Chooses
Temporary Chairman Who
Is Pleasing to Colonel.
SPEECH CONTROVERSY
REMAINS TO BE SOLVED
Former Senator Declares Limit
on-Profts' Statement Was
Misunderstood.
By the Associated Press.

DES MONIES. Iowa, June IL
Iowa's State Republican organization,
meeting today for the first time since
the primary in which Col. Smith w.
Brookhart was nominated for the
United States Senate over Senator A.
8. Cummins, left the way clear for
reconciliation between the party ma
chine and Brookhart.
Their paths had parted some years
ago, and the breach reached it's climax
within the past two years, when
Brookhart renounced President Cool
idge in 1924 and the central committee
joined with Senator Dan F. Steck in
the successful contest against Brook
hart's election.
The State central committee today
made plans for the State Republican
convention to be held here July Il,
and designated former Gov. Nat +.
Kendall as temporary chairman. Sc
lection Of Mr.. Kendall in itself was
interpreted as a move by the commit
tee to restore peace in the party. He
has been popular in all factions ana
Is regarded by the Brookhart follow
ers as not hostile to the colonel.
Harmony Is Urged.
There was considerable discussion
of the Brookhart nomination In the
committee meeting, it was revealed,
but no announcement was made that
would indicate the committee was at
any time near action that would widen
the split in the Republican ranks.
Sentiment of most Of the members
was that all measures designed to re-
store harmony should be adopted.
Committee members appeared in
terested chiefly in the platform Col.
Brookhart works out for his cam
paign.
His speech at Mason City, which
some party leaders declared savored
of socialism, has been widely dis
cussed and seems just now to be the
principal obstacle in the way of a
reconciliation.
Brookharts statement that he had
been misunderstood when he discussed
limitation of capital earnings appar-
emily has caused some of his political
opponents Of the past to withhold
judgment until later in the campaign.
The views of the unseated Senator
and party regulars" will next come
into prominence at the State conven-
ton, which will frame the party's
platform for the Fall campaign. This
probably will be the most important
work before the convention, inasmuch
as all nominations were made in the
primary.

Washington College Students
Earning $4,000 A Year
Money Used To Defray Their
Expenses While At Eastern
Shore College.

That Washington, college students
are earning approximately $4,000 q
year In a successful effort to defray
their educational expenses is the
statement made by President Paul E.
Ellsworth of the Chestertown, Nd,
institution. Some of the roles stu
dents are filling, as means of self
help, are as furnace caretakers, jani-
tors, BARRIERS, tailors, restaurateurs,
clerks, secretaries statesmen, walters,
student offiie assistants, bread wrap
peers in local bakeries, motion picture
|pianists and orchestral musicians. One
enterprising, and good-natured, lad es-
says the task of staying with children
while their parents go out for the ev-
ening.
81 have high regard" says the
head of the historic school, "for the
man or woman who pays in whole or
in part his or her way thru college.
When a student who is under the ne
cessity Of self-fnancing knocks at the
college doors he has already shown
that he possesses two Of the primal
qualities of success. The man in the
street calls them nerve" and "the
ability to see farther than the end of
ones nose" The educator calls the
first "faith" and the second, "vision. -
The student thus lowered with these
dynamic and success-compelling gifts
makes good in ninety-nine cases out
of hundred, it has been shown.
Furthermore, it is said by educational
experts, he gathers to himself other
resources as he works his way thru
college. He learns to program his
time. He acquires diligence. He
steadies himself by carrying real re-
sponsibility. He learns how to use
money. In short, he gets out of his
stay on the campus a running start
over many fellow who, leaning hard
on other folk for his support, has to
take three, four or more years after
college before he is much use in the
world.
Washington college glories in the
opportunities it offers a boy or girl
far self-help" states DR.. Ellsworth,
"and the numbers of part-time occu-
pations for students increases as the
college grows and as our job-fillers
show themselves dependable"
There already exist three loan
funds at the college. The Old Kent
Chapter, D. A. R., Fund, available to
girls; the Hartman Fund, available
to communicates of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, especially such stu
dents as are anticipating entering the
ministry and an additional fund for
deserving boys and girls. Borrowing
from any one Of these funds is not
leaning on charity but is entering
into regularly recognized business
contract. It is paying for ones edu-
cation on the deferred payment plan.
This form Of self-help, rapidly grow
ing in public esteem, provides a way
for the self reliant student to assist
himself through college without the
necessity Of interrupting his course
to earn money.
