HOOVER Gets
FIRST VIEW OF
CHILEAN COAST
President-EI to Confer
With Officials of Bolivia
Today.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent

ABOARD THE U. S. S. MARY
LAND, Dec. g. President Elect
Herbert Hoover had his first view
of the Chilean coast during his
goodwill tour of South America
today, when the Maryland arrived
off Antofagasta, Chile.
Mr.. Hoover was to stop in Anto-
fagasta to confer with a delegation
of officials of the Bolivian govern
ment, who came from La Paz, cap
ital of Bolivia, for the conference.
David Kaufman, American minister
to La Paz, accompanied the officials
from La Paz to Antofagasta.
Alberto PalacioS, acting foreign
minister of Bolivia, headed the
group.
Since leaving the Peruvian port
of Callao, the Maryland has been
travelling under clear skies. There
has been a slight swell of the sea
but it hardly was noticeable on a
ship the size of the Maryland.
Hoover has spent most of the last
WV Qoyo ACoVAAAS dAOC4 llAC OIL CAl-
uous program in Lima and prepar-
ing for an equally strenuous one
in Santiago, the Chilean capital.
The stop at Antofagasta is the
last one before the Hoover party
bids farewell to the Maryland, unless
the trans-Andean railway still is
tied up by recent landslides and
it is found necessary to go to Buenos
Aires by way of the Straits of
Magellan.
Such route would be rough,
however, even for the Maryland,
due to the severe storms in the
straits at this time of year.
1t is understood that Hoover has
accepted the offer of President Hip
otto Irigoyen of Argentina for a
battleShip to convey the party to
Montevideo, Uruguay. At Montiyedo,
the party will join the U. S. S. Utah.

WAR SCARE IN
SOUTH AMERICA
BoliVia-Paraguay Situation
Admittedly Serious.
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Odicials
took a serious view today CT hostiH-
ties between Bolivian and Para
guayan border troops in which
twenty persons were reported to
have been killed.
The dispute between the two ma
tionS involves ownership of a large
area roughly triangular in shape
and about five hundred miles long
and 300 miles wide.
The controversy began with the
birth of the two nations. A series
Of treaties and agreements seeking
an understanding have failed to dis
cover a mutually satisfactory solu-
ton.
Although diplomatic observers do
not believe war would result from
the border clash, there is no dis
position to belittle the potentioal
Importance of the situation which
apparently has become worse in
stead of better with the passage of
time.
1t is believed possible that Boil
vian-Paraguyan relations would fig
ure prominently in discussions dur
ing the Pan-American arbitration
and Cancellation conference which
convenes here Monday with all
American republics except Argen-
tina represented.

When men have veiws they think are sound
And worthy to be preached taught
Or propositions to PROFOUND
Why must they get so overweight?
Why must they try to force their thought
On every for miles around
And grow excited, angry, taut-
There ought to be a middle ground.
No votes cast leaders crowned
Without campaigns with hatred fraught;
Can't faith creed be raised or downed
Until its leaders grow distraught?
When embrace vision caught,
Why must they bitterly expound:
Your gods clay; believe them not"
There ought to be middle ground.
If your view gives you peace profound
Then love it for the joy it's brought
But why Cypress, haraSS, and hound
Those men by whom your views unSought?
Why must this endless be fought?
Must each fanatic group they found
Impress disciples forced bought?
There ought to be a middle ground
LENVOI
Oh land, where c~eedS should matter naught,
And stored tolerance abound,
Can't men do as they think they ought?
There ought to be a middle ground
