Hio Grande Do Sul. I'.ra.il Dee. 11.
The long standing ill feeling between
Brazil and Argentina inherited in purl
from the aneient rivalry between their
respective I 'orl 'iKiie.se and Spanish
founders and intensified by subsequent
boundary disputes has lieon fanned win
fresh llarup by the opposing altitudes
the two repuhlies have taken in respect
to the war.
llrazil from the first has favored the
Potent" allies ami been me a belligerent
against fierinany as soon as the I'nited
states entered the war in keeping with
her traditional friendship for the Tinted
States. Argentina on the other ha nil.
bus persistently insisted that she would
remain neutral although there have
been charges that the gov eminent tide
has distinct pro- lernian tendencies
ftach Suspects t!ie Other.
In each of the two countries opinion
la held that the attitude of the other
indicates ulterior dcsi'.'ps in South
America. The people if the state of
Kio Grande do Sul in Pra.il have been
roused to a high pitch by the exposure
of plans of the Hermans there to revolt
against the Praxllian j;overninent ami
ueize at least part of the ;tati 's ter-
ritory. Some of them have recently
gone so far as to argue that in tin ir
belief Argentina might attempt in su h
an event to win back the old disputed '
territory formerly part of th Argon-
tlne territory of .Missiones which -now
forms part of the Praziliau state of j
Santa Catharlna. j
Sore; Spot In Award.
The Coded States arbitrated the dis-
pute over this territory awarding it to i
F.r.uil on the .'round that the Praziliaus
bad populated it and claimed jt by right
of colonization while the early Spanish
and Portuguese left no documents show-
ing any division of lands there. This j
award is said always to have been a
sore spot with the Argentines. 1
Of late both countries have been at
fever heat on account of many rumors
of mobilizations and warlike prepara-
tions on both sides of the disputed line.
Traveling through the frontier country
one continually hears such remarks as
"Well we've got to tight some day.
and now Is the best time."
Argentines Suspect Brazilians.
Many Argentines look with suspicion
on Urazil's preparations to double ler
8 landing army within the r.ext two or
three months and ultimately to increase
It to 100. 000. The Argentines assert
that llrazil does not intend to send sol
diers to fight in F.uropo and they argue
that such a large fore- is not necessary

correspondent of the
ia 'ifie eon ul rj :
Conditions Are Desperate
"Russians' affairs have become so desperate that only the
intervention of the allies or (he Germans can prevent a catas-
trophe. As this can no longer be expected from the allies the
disheartened Russian looks to the Germans to put an end to
the awful chaos in which the country is now involved."
Leon Trotzky the bolshevik foreign minister is convinced
that the entente governments wish Germany to make an ad-
vantageous peace with Russia so that Germany will agree the
nore willingly to surrender what the allies want in the west
accord irijr to the l'etrograd correspondent of the Daily News.
Yrotzky who was interviewed as he was slartmg for J.tvst
Litovsly said thai Ri vmit r Lloyd George had made a statement
.permitting such an interpretation and he spoke along the same
! lines in an editorial printed earlier in the bolshevik organ
TYavda.
i Premier Lloyd George the correspondent assured Trotzky
ihad never mad; such a statement but the bolshevik leader was
: hard to convince and said:
i "That is the allied policy." Tie added that the attitude of
the bolsheviki would not be influenced by the attitude of the
allied government but by that of the allies' peoples.
Trotzky was asked wtiat hone he himself had of a general
acceptable peace. 1 1 e replied that it was difficult to say be-
cause the Germain had not yet been offered a chance to make
such a peace but he was sure the Germans must need it.
Germans in Serious Situation.
Tne Russian foreign minister quoted German deserters assay-
ing that the Gcmmis were unable 'a remove troops from the
eastern front in large units. They were removing them one at
a Lime and the men. knowing where they were being sent
jump from trains in attempts to escape. He reiterated the
story that 'J'j.Muo German troops had deserted in the Kovno
district adding that the Germans cannot get their own men to
attack the deserter; and are trying to reduce them by starva-
tion. Asked what terms he actually hoped to get from Ger-
many Trot.ky refused to reply and said laughingly:
"If we were redly logical we would declare war on England
now for the sake of India. F.gypt and Ireland." The Daily
Jiows correspondent protested that Great Britain had got noth-
ing out of India to which Trotzky replied:
"Then give up being so alttuistie. You English are lhe
most chauvinist nation on the earth without knowing it."

opinion seemed universal ihat the president had chosen the
psychological moment to counteract any evil effect of Ger-
many's latest peace propaganda.
Although some members professed to believe that the Ger-
mans might find the terms laid down acceptable as a basis ol
negotiations most officials saw in the definite proposals of tin.

to the principal world capitals for telegraphic distribution.

Comment by Louden Papers.
London Jan. it. President VVilson'i; speech like all his ut
terances since America entered the war takes the leading j
place in both the news and editorial columns of the London
;nress. One newspaper describes it as "the Magna Charta of
i 'uturo peace."
I Coming so closely on trie heels of Premier Lloyd George's ad-
cress at the labor conlereiice li;e words ol the heads ot the
American and P.ritish governments are compared closely.
While some differences are found in the manner of discussing
he various questions this evenipg's newspapers find no disa-
j "cement in essential policy. The Pall Mall Gazette notes that
;.he president deals more sympathetically with the bolsheviki
.han did the premier but points out that America has not suf-
fered from the Russian collapse as the western allies have.
The Westminster Gazette welcomes Mr. Wilson's "careful
ympathetic language." and says it hopes that "all misunder-
Mandings which may have arisen from other statements will be
'emoved by the unequivocal language in which the president
'. dopts the Russian demands as his own."
The speech appears in newspapers under big headlines
rich as "American Terms lo Germany" "World Peace 1'ro-
j rani" and "Great Program of International Reforms."
Of World-Wide Importance
The Evening News in its introduction describes the speech
4 s one of world-wide importance in which the president laid
(own America's peace terms "in clear direct and simple lan-
j uage."

Amsterdam Jan. 9 A number of dis-
abled German soldiers were invited on
Monday to aitond a meeting of the
"fatherland" party founded recently in
the interests of the pan-Germans and
other uncompromising elements. The
soldiers grew restless under the flow of
the chauvinist talk from the annexa-
tionists says the socialist organ Vor-
waerts of Perlin. They were not per-
mitted to speak and a stormy scene
followed.
One of the speakers referred to Ih?
disabled soldiers as deserters who hud
