ADD STRENGTH
TO CHILE NAVY
BUENOS AIRES, July 12, (by As
sociated Press).—Purchase by Chile
of the British dreadnaught Canada
and two British destroyers is regard
ed by diplomatic circles here as an
indication that events are moving
swiftly toward a definite conclusion
of the Tacna-Arica controversy be
tween Chile and Peru. This dispute
has long threatened the peace of South
America. It is considered that such
an increase in Chile’s naval power
must have an important bearing on
the settlement of the international
dispute for the possession of the port
of Arica now held by Chile but
claimed both by Peru and Boliva.
While Chile’s naval forces already
exceed those of Peru, it is pointed out
that the acquisition at this time of
j three fighting ships would constitute
a powerful argument to enforce a
settlement of the differences between
the two nations over the title to the
two Pacific provinces. Peru’s sea
ports, naturally, would be at the
mercy of Chile in any resort to arms.
Purchase of the vessels at this
time is believed in some quarters to
be especially significant in view of a
widely held opinion that the Tacna
Arica dispute will reach a definite
crisis within a year. Well informed
ovservers say Peru will likely seek
a settlement of the question before
the League of Nations of which she
is a member. She is unable to reach
an agreement with Chile on the long
delayed plebiscite which was to deter
mine the sovereignity of the provin
ces and the opinion is held here that
she can expect no arbitral aid from
the United States owing to the fact
that the American government in a
recent note to Chile accepted a policy
of “non-intervention” in the Tacna
Arica case.
Chile, on the other hand will resist
interference by the League of Nations,
it is believed, having unequivocally
made her position clear in a reply to
a note of the United States saying
that she will not accept intervention
“from any power or powers.” Chile’s
position is that under the terms of
the treaty of Ancon, her rights are so
clear that there is nothing to arbi
trate.
Consequently, it is predicted th^t
Chile will hasten the dispute to a
conclusion before it reaches the stage
of consideration by the League of
Nations, with the idea of presenting
the league with an accomplished fact,
thus forestalling Peru’s attempt to
gain an arbitration.
This “accomplished fact,” it is as
serted, w'ould be the cession to Boliva
of the port of Arica in return pre
sumably for certain compensations.
Whatever may be the official atti
tude of the Chilean government and
notwithstanding its repudiation of
Peruvian charges that it has instigat
ed Boliva against Peru, it is a well
knovm fact in South America that
Chile’s publicists and statesmen are
entirely in sympathy with Bolivian as
pirations for an outlet to the Pacific.
It is net regarded as strange, there
fore, that predictions are heard that
Chile is supporting Boliva’s claims.

ROBBERS ACTIVE
ALONG CHINESE
I TRADE ROUTES
CHENGTU, China, July 12 (by As
sociated Press).—Depredations of rob
ber bands along trade routes in
Szechuen province have become so
flagrant and widespread that urgent
appeals for the use of troops to com
bat the menace have been sent to the
Chinese provincial authorities by for
eign firms operating in Szechuen. The
outlaws have become so bold that
mail consignments, hitherto Immune
from them, have been seized.
One recent report that was brought
to Chengtu was of the robbery of a
pack train on the “big road,” which
is the main highway between Chung
king and Chengtu. In this forty bags
of mail were opened and rifled by the
outlaws and “the whole hillside was
covered with stolen mail.”
In another case a caravan had been
held up and robbed by a band of ban
dits when a second stronger band of
brigands appeared and compelled the
return of the stolen goods. The leader
of the smaller band was then shot.
The chieftain who did this declared
that he had guaranteed the safe pass
age of this particular caravan, having
received a substantial consideration.
The activities of the bandits are felt
as much by the individual as by the
large commercial interests in the opin
ion of one Chengtu mission worker,
who said:
“It is a grievous hardship to send
to America for a suit of clothes, pay
for it at the present ruinous prices,
wait patiently six months for its ar
rival and finally hear that it has been
appropriated by robbers within a few
days of its destination.”

COUNTLESS NUMBER OF
BLIND ADDED YEARLY
BY SPAIN’S LAX ! VS
MADRID, July 12 (by Associated
Press). — Twenty-five thousand sight
less persons are added to the popula
tion of Spain every year owing to in
attention to cases of smallpox, measles,
scarlatina, meningitis and the after
effects of sexual maladies, writes
Count de la Lein in El Sol. The
count asks why Spain thus makes peo
ple blind and then abandons them to
a life of miserable mendicancy in
many cases. He points out that they
are neither properly cared for nor
educated so that they may take care
of themselves. He says most of the
institutions for the blind, and there
are many such establishments in the
country, with rare exceptions are in
efficient and antiquated with teachers
lacking the necessary training. The
blind are taught very superficially bas
ket and boxmaking or the most ele
mentary music. He declares nobody
believes in their efficacy, although
many give subscriptions out of pure
charity.
The count deplores “the traditional
ignorance of the Spanish authorities
which do not heed or take advantage
of the experience of the United
States, England and other civilized
countries in dealing with the blind.”
