SANTIAGO, Chile, September H.
While Chile IS undergoing another Of
series of changes in government. the
people will celebrate the 1921 anniver-
sary Of their independence from the
rule of Spain on tomorrow and Mon
day.
n the patriotic celebrations and will
attend services in the churches Of the
country, where thanksgiving will be Of
fered for what peace there has been In
The last IL months. There have been
frequent uprisings, the last Of which
occurred only this last week.
Hoped for Quiet Year.
Last independence day the nation
breathed with relief withthe ousting Of
President Carlos IbaneZ and the trt-
umph of the new government over the
rebel navy in the brief civil war. 1t
looked toward year OF quiet read
justment.
But Juan z. Montero was no sooner
elected in a free. unrestricted polling
when Congress became dissatisfied.
There arose various Leftist move
ments, some Of them Communistic in
nature, and a wave Of unrest rolled
over the land. As economic conditions
got worse and the peso declined more
and more, several definite revolutionary
movements got under way In semi
secrecy.
Chief Of these was the campaign Of
Carlos Davila against the Montero re-
gime. When things got too hot, he
went into hiding to escape arrest, and
from his place Of refuge directed the
efforts of his group which were to re-
suit, on June 4, in an alliance with Col
Marmaduke Grove and the overthrow
by arms of Montero. who was permit
ted to go to Argentina after declining to
formally resign.
Leaders Soon Fell Out.
Davila and Grove soon fell out,
Grove for a moment holding the power
and then being overthrown by Davila in
an armed revolt. Grove and his imme-
diate friends we're exiled to Easter Island
and Davila declared himself provisional
President short time later, after dis
solving temporary junta, setting up
a Socialist government.
The ousting of Davila last week re-
suited In establishment Of military
regime under the acting presidency of
Gen. Bartholome Blanche, commander
in chief of the army. He has promised
the forthcoming election will be "unin-
fuenced."

MADRID, September II R.-Ap-
proval by the Rate Committee Of the
International Conference of Telegraphy
and Radio Telegraphy of proposal
that the urgent rate henceforth be
double instead Of three times the base

yesterday.
This discussion centered about whether
the projected change would affect

States.
Some authorities held 1t would be
possible to apply this schedule to Amer

the plan. The result would be new
