Washington
Commission Bears Fruit.
ri Diario. La Paz.-An excellent i'm
preston has been created throughout
all the continent by the adoption of the
agreement whereby Bolivia and Para
quay have delegated to the government
OF Uruguay the right to occupy all the
fortincattons OF both those nations In
the disputed territory pending arbitra-
ton OF the momentohs controversy.
THESE strongholds will be restored to
their respective authorities upon the
re-establishment of amity and diplo-
matte relations between the countries.
1t appears that the work of the neutral
commission at Washington has borne
fruit. and that the decision regarding
the proper boundary between the coun-
tries Will be settled without the effusion
of blood
The press Of the South American re-
publics and La Prensa and La Ma
cion-the great papers of Buenos Aires
in particular, are enthusiastic over
this evident desire to adjudicate the
conflicting claims of the two countries
calmly and fairly War, with all it's
Sanguinary horrors. is at most an I'M
certain and unsatisfactory method of
reaching settlement. Too often one
war brings on another, when the de-
feated nation has recouped its losses,
and Is inspired with q frenzy for re-
venge. Arguments dispassionately set
tled In the council chamber bring no
sucn consequences in their wake, and
are invariably far more Just decisions
than the verdicts imposed by battle.

An even sometimes when he holds his

He's blufin' it out fur one more chance

TO square up his former mistake.
An perhaps there's this much to be

He jumped into life an he really tried
His share of the burden TO take.
