CHILE: Three-in-One Nation 4

This Is the third in a series of
10 Informative articles and maps
on the republics of South Amer
lea, the great continent Nth
Which ne share the Western
Hemisphere. At the request of
The Washington Star the Ma
tiondl Geographic Society, as
part of its many educational ac-
tivities, has prepared the basic
data and accompanying maps
from its rich resources of geo.
graphic knowledge and surueys.
By clipping this series from ueek
to tOeek, adults and school pupils
may acquire an up-to-ddte COL
lection OF maps and notes on our
neighbor continent to the south.
Chile is one of the most curiously-
shaped countries In the world. A
ribbon Of land edging the west coast
Of South America from Peru to the
tip of the continent, it is about "a
times as long as It is wide. In its
southern reaches, as 1t tapers toward
the big island appendage OF TERRA
del Fuego, shared with. Argentina,
the Chilean ribbon is cut into lace
like pattern of islands and penin-
sulas remindful of the fjord-riddled,
island-rimmed coast of Norway.
Flying the 2,60O-mile length of
Chile, over volcanic mountains and
valleys, you can see the geographic

the country. Between the broad ex-
panse of the Pacific and the Andes
Mountain wall of rock, snow and ice,
the South American nation unrolls
panorama that is three lands In one.
These three distinct regions are the
dry north, in one area Of which no
rain has ever been recorded; the
central, productive heart of the
country, and the damp, cool dis
tricts of the south.
Country Rich in Minerals.
In the north, stretches of gray and
yellow-green sand and rock indicate
the famous nitrate of-soda country,
with by-product and additional re-
sources in iodine, salt, borax and
sulphur. These are the regions rich
in copper. iron, gold, silver and
other ores Farther south are found
extensive deposits of coal.
Chile's mineral operations "a con-
siderable part of them carried on
by United States capitaD have ex-
perienced booms and depressions,
war wealth and postwar problems.
During the First World War nitrate
provided the chief source OF ma
tional income. Later this strategic
substance declined In Importance
with the development of synthetic
nitrates and the loss of war markets.
Today, although copper leads the
field, accounting for more than half
the total value of mineral exports,
Chilean nitrate is still an extremely
important commodity. 1t is esti-
mated that nitrate shipments from
Chile to the United States this year
will total between 1000 and 1900
900 tons. Used for fertilizer, 1t will
release quantities of the synthetic
product for making explosives.
Chile is also contributing other
minerals to the arsenal of democ-
racy." Iron ore exports to the
United States are expected to
amount to some 100000 tons, to-
gether with record breaking guam
tity of half a million tons of cop
per and considerable manganese and
other ores.

UNITED STATES ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS, Panama, Oct. 31.-En-
tertainment of enlisted men looms
so vitality as a morale factor here,
as. elsewhere with United States
servicemen, that a full-time stafl
Of officers, non-coms and civilian
assistants keeps busy trying to fig-
ure out new-and old-ways for
giving the men something to look
forward to, and something to talk
about besides war.
Local radio programs, information
contests, sports competition, dances,
imported comedians and pretty girl
singers-all are grist for the Army
entertainment bureau headed by
1t. Col. B. B. Millenthal, of Jersey
City and assisted by 1t. Fred w.
Walsmith, Cedar Rapids, Iowa:
JdlllCS w q 1NOk Ill Val OA114dlA,
and 1t. Phil Lampkin, former leader
of the Capitol Theater orchestra
in Washington.
Girl Singers Most Popular.
Above all, the soldiers like enter
tainment featuring girl singer or
dancer-young and pretty, of course.
Next: Slapstick comedy on the
hearty side. If the girl singer is
good to look at, the soldiers don't
mind if she's off key.
The Army entertainment staff
here co-operates with the USO and
other servicemen's organizations in
putting on shows and furnishing
transportation for the PARTICLES,
draftettes, victorettes and other vol
unteer dance partners. Prizes are
awarded in 10 competitive sports.
Such visiting Caribbean defense
command entertainers as AL Jolson,
Moe Berg, Jinx Falkenburg. Barbara
Lamar and the Ritz Brothers are
escorted about to forts, air bases,
jungle positions and gun batteries
for shows.
Mobile Stage Unit Planned.
Col Millenthal, a former commod-
ity broker in New York City, is now
planning mobile unit with portable
stage for getting shows, some of
them with all-soldier performers. out
into the "bosque," the jungle posi-
lions. There is no entertainment for
profit; most of it is free and If a
small fee is charged the benefits
kick back to the soldiers.
ut is heartening to see how ap-
preciative the men are" said the
colonel in the midst of telephoning
instructions for setting up dress
ing room at an isolated air base in
the interior. They behave them
selves well when we bring girl en-
tertainers cut to them.
I'VE wish more entertainers from
the States would come down here.
It gives the boys something to thing
about for weeks to come when we
can tell them that so-and-so is on
the way. This is almost woman
less world down here and the men
appreciate having girl sing to
them.
Betty Cradle certainly would go

LONDON, Oct. 31.-A group Of
United States aeronautical experts
wound up . two-week survey Of
Britain's air industry today With
glowing praise for its organisation
and the productiveness Of its work
ers. *
Because Of Britains nearness to
the war and the years she has been
in 1t, British aircraft workers pro-
duce at faster rate than workers
in the United States, members OF
the American mission declared.
T. P. Wright, air production d.
rector of the United States War
Production Board, spokesman for
the nine members of the mission,
particularly praised women and
part-time workers in British air.
craft factories.
Workers Morale Praised.
He said the experts were i'm
pressed by the workers morale and
amazed" at the flexibility of the
factories, making possible the rapid
introduction of improvements de-
manded by experience.
He also commented on the "ex-
cellent" control of material and
supplies and the fact that produce
ton has been maintained although
factories have been dispersed to
escape mass bombing.
The system, Mr.. Wright said.
probably makes it impossible for the
enemy to cause serious produce
ton lag by bombing.
Mr.. Wright and P. G. Johnson,
president Of the Boeing Aircraft
Corp, builders of the United States
Army's Fortress bombers, also spoke
of admirable" relations between
British workers and employers.
They agreed also that women
would play rapidly-increasing part
in American air production. Where
plants in the United States now
employ about 20 per cent as COM
pared with 40 per cent in Britain,
Mr.. johnson said his plant hoped
to reach 10 per cent Of women
workers by September, 1913.
Cooperation Cited.
One instance of inter-Allied CO.
operation was cited by J. J. Llewell-
in, Minister of Aircraft Production,
in the quickly renowned British
light bomber, the Mosquito, wood

Australia Papers Hail
MacAhhur's Defense
OF Pacific War Effort
Generals Statement
Viewed as BuIuncino
Recent Criticism
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MELBOURNE, Oct. 3l.-Austral.
Ian discussion of the Pacific war wa,
high-lighted today by a declaration
Of the Sydney Morning Herald thai
the conflict could be lost only by q
rift among the Allies and could be
won only by long and hard fighting
The press described statements
Thursday by Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur and Prime Minister John
Curtin as helpful in clearing the all
on such questions as grand strategy
politics and the scope Of the Austral-
ian war effort.
Criticisms drew this comment from
the Melbourne Age:
ANY attempt, whether well in
tentioned or launched with Interior
motives, to create friction between
political groups or schools of thought
in service high command circles.
could be damaging and mischievous.
In this country, it will be ef-
fective."
Gen. MacArthur's denial of re-
ports that this commonwealth was
not pulling its full weight Che said
mo nation in the world is making a
more supreme war effort than Aus
traliaD was described by the AIDE
laide Advertiser as very welcome.
Bold U. S. Attack Cited.
1T will serve most valuable pur-
pose in the United States" the Ad-
vertiser said. Recent adverse crit
icism OF Australia's war effort did
not tell the whole story. Macarthur
has supplied the material for a bal
anced judgement"
The Sydney Herald pointed out
that the Solomons strategy-involv-
ing both Navy and Army COM
mands-had been questioned and de-
clared that doubts about the issue
had been unduly prevalent.
These misgivings do less than
justice to the boldness of the United
States stroke at Japan's flank and
to the results already achieved" the
newspaper said.
Australian opinion is being dis
turbed by suggestions published in
New York that the initiation and
conduct of the Solomons campaign
have been influenced by jealousy of
Gen. Macarthur, while from another
source it is represented to Americans
that political and industrial condi-
tons in Australia are handicapping
the supreme commander in making
war in the Southwest Pacific The
allegations are severe dis-service to
both countries.
Respect for General Grows.
Nobody here believes that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would allow political
considerat tons to counsel shelving of
Macarthur regardless of the conse-
quences to military operations in the
Southwest Pacific"
The generals statement will in
crease the respect Australians feel
for him and the debt of gratitude
I'VE owe him." the Herald said
Gen. Macarthur, in addition to
praising Australians for their work
and cooperation, disavowed politi-
cal ambitions, saying Il started as
soldier and shall finish as one"
Prime Minister Curtin said the
Commonwealth government knows
but one greatly duty: That is to Or
ganize the nation so that morally
and with every physical factor it can
give complete, unequivocable back
ing to a commander in whose capac-
ity and person it has whole-souled
confidence"

IL Is colo ana misty, WIN SCOrm-
dashed rocky coasts, deep forests and
green pastures. With relatively few
people and magnificent mountain
and-lake scenery, this is a frontier
region where the inhabitants make
their living chiefly by sheep herd
ing, fishing and raising fur-bearing
animals. Punta Arenas (Magal-
lanes, near the tip of the main
+! land, with a population OF $4,000,
is the southernmost city In the
world.
Between the two extremes lies
fertile middle Chile, where rows Of
poplars frame the roads and big
estates roll out into vast grainfields
and pasture lands. It's leading
crops include wheat, corn, barley,
beans and other vegetables and
fruits. From its grapes Chile makes
an excellent wine, much of it for

cattle raising. Increasing numbers

Central Chile is the core of the
nations political, social and eco

chief cities-inland Santiago, the
capital, with almost a million in
habitants, and the busy seaport of
Valparaiso, with some $50 900 people

The Chilean people as a whole

Among Chiles outpost islands are
two in the Pacific which are not
only of strategic value but have long
captured peoples imagination. One
is Easter Island, some $3.50 miles
off the north central coast, where
mysteriously-carved stone faces and
inscribed rocks hint at the activ-
tiles of vanished race. The other
island of adventure is one of the
Juan Fernandez group, 500 miles

island is believed to have furnished
the inspiration for Defoe's popular
Robinson Crusoe romance.

GOLFERS AWAIT
RECLAIMED BALLS

Imperial Valley golfers Tuesday
were awaiting their first batch of
recovered golf balls.
Almost three months ago many
of the members of the Barbara
Worth country club started turning
in their old golf balls to the pro-
fessiCnal at the club, who in turn
gave them to the manager of an
El Centro hardware store for ship
ment to the factory to be rebuilt.
This step became necessary with
the curtailment of new ball manu-
featuring.
The manager sent in six dozen
balls the first time and since then
has sent in an additional 18 dozen.
He says he has twice that many
yet to be sent back to the factor
les.
Tests with reclaimed balls have
shown them to be almost as good as
new balls and on a driving range
they travel but a few yards less
when hit.
At the country club officials said
Tuesday that they still have few
new balls but they are being doled
out, with no more than three to
customer, to make them last
longer.
