The potential value of Brazilian

cation. or 100000, we have accounted
for a total of 100000 men, or al
most all of those to be in the ground
forces as stated by the Secretary
of War.
Huge Supporting Force Required.
I want to make it perfectly clear
that the foregoing is not an informed
breakdown of the existing Army Or
ganization. 1t is simply an applica-
ton to basic figure of the organi-
zation as it existed when the last
information on that subject was
made public.
The purpose of this article is not
to inform the public on the details
of the present organization, but
rather as to the principles of organ
ization; to show the fallacy Of sup
posing that even when you have a
total figure for your ground forces,
that every one of these is soldier
in an infantry or armored division
who is about to be hurled upon the
enemy.
In order to maintain fighting units
on the actual battlefront, an enor-
nous organization of supporting
units, armed with all sorts Of weap-
ons and provided with tremendous
amount of equipment, is required;
and behind these again, there must
be huge service of supply operat-
ing over an adequately protected
line of communications to bring for
ward from the production and train
ing centers at home the material
and the men needed to maintain
the strength of the fighting units
under active service conditions.
We are very far indeed from the
mass Army of fevered imagination
What we are actually doing is Gre
ating highly trained and complete
ly equipped Army of what might be
called fighting specialists; an Army
which will be the living embodi-
ment of the American spirit and OF

great Indian civilizations and popu-
lation masses such as served the
conquering Spaniards in other parts
of Latin America. BY 1850, 38 years
before slavery was abolished, there
were about three million slaves in
the country.
Meanwhile, particularly after the
1850s, European immigration was
strongly encouraged. Between 1920
and 1888 (when certain limitations
were set) more than four and a half
million immigrants entered Brazil.
The majority were Italians, Portu-
guese and Spaniards, but there were
many other nationalities, including
half a million or more Germans and
Japanese, who settled chiefly in the
southern states and set up their own
native communities.

This is the first OF a series OF ten
informative articles and maps on
the Republics of South America, the
great continent Uith ,Dhich tue share
the Western Hemisphere. At the
request of THE SUNDAY STAR the
National Geographic Society, as a
part OF its many educational dcttvi-
ties. has prepared the basic data
and accompanying maps from its
rich resources OF geographic knotDl-
edge and surveys. By clipping this
series from tDeek to Ueek, adults and
school pupils may acquire an up-to-
date collection OF maps and notes
on our neighbor continent to the
south.
Brazil-the rich but still largely
.undeveloped giant of South America
is some 3,275,O00 square miles big.
Larger than the United States, with
out Alaska, 1t consists of 20 states,
federal district and a territory
Yet its population is estimated at
less than forty-five million people

three-fourths of the Brazilians live

Some Geographic Superlatives.
Brazil is a country of geographic
superlatives. It's Amazon River sys-
tenn is the worlds largest. It has
tremendous potential water power,
IguaSsu Falls alone having a drop
40 or more feet greater than that of
Niagara.
Brazil's cosmopolitan capital, Rio
de Janeiro, called by many the most
beautiful city in the world, holds
nearly two million people; while in
the interior is the Western Hemis-
phere's greatest expanses of forest
and jungle. Much of this sprawling
wilderness is mysterious and un-
explored region, believed inhabited
only by leaping. creeping, crawling,
and flying things, from monkeys to
jaguars, butterflies to boa con-
strictors.
Almost entirely south of the Equa-
tor. Brazil has summer when north
ern countries are in winter. 1t is
the only Portuguese-speaki Latin
American nation. Among Brazilian
"firsts" is the fact that this nation
was the source of the navel-orange
seedlings on which the California
industry is based.
From Brazil also came the first
ruling monarch to visit the United
States, Emperor Dom Pedro II, who
attended the Philadelphia Exposi-
ton in 1876. There the Brazilian
visitor made his first acquaintance
with the telephone, exhibited by it's
inventor, Alexander Graham Bell.
Later he installed the innovation in
his own home in Rio de Janeiro.
Thirteen years after the United
States trip, Dom Pedro was over
thrown by a bloodless revolt which
set up the Brazilian Republic and
put an end to the rule of the only
royal line to establish itself in the
Americas.

The latest report was that the
trio had been arrested last week
in Ell Paso, Tex, as they at

Mexico, and had been brought to
Washington and placed in the Dis
trict Jail to await decision by the
President whether they should be
tried in a civil court or before a

saboteurs are either in Santa Do

This premise is false for a great

Nearer and nearer drew the whis-

Farmer Browns Boy had come in
sight of the Smiling Pool, or rather,
what used to be the Smiling Pool.
Now, there wasn't any Smiling
Pool, for the very little pool left
was too small and sickly looking to
smile. There were great banks of
mud out of which grew the bull
rushes. The lily-pads were forlorn-

banks were steep and high the holes

usual. The Laughing Brook-ha!
What was the matter with the
Laughing Brook? He couldn't hear
it and that, you know, was very
unusual. He dropped his rod and
ran over to the Laughing Brook.
There wasn't any brook! No, sir,
there wasn't any brook-just pools
of water with the tiniest of streams
trickling between. Big stones over
which he had always seen the water
running in the prettiest of little
white falls were bare and dry. In
the little pools frightened minnows
were darting about.
Farmer Browns Boy scratched
his head in a puzzled way. ST don't

NOV, it happened that the very
L y day before Paddy the Beaver
decided that his pond was big
enough and so allowed the water to
run in the Laughing Brook once
more, Farmer Browns Boy took it
into his head to go fishing in the
Smiling Pool. Just as usual he went

fishing he always feels like whis-
ting. Grandfather Frog heard him
coming and dived into the little bit
of water remaining in the Smiling
