dispute is no minor morsel of land.
A territory more than 100000
square miles in area. a region larg-
er than the States OF Pennsylvania
and New York combined, 10 the
subject OF controversy.
Beginning in 1879 Bolivia and
Paraguay have repeatedly tried to
reach an amicablc division Of the
Chaco. An agreement to arbitrato
has been made, but the dispute has
not vet reached an arbitration
commission.

Paraguayan Chaco has its humorous
aspects. Diplomats of the two ma
lions drew lines on their maps in
1879, again in 1887. and in 1894,
hut no surveyor could have been
found to lay out any Of the irritat-

and Bolivia argue; the Chaco be-
longed to the Indians. Until after
1900 few white men hold enough to
