Brazil and Peru to Enter Arena and Mexico Neutral.

Washington, April 10.—Much of the uncertainty as to Latin-America’s attitude in the war between the United tSates and Germany was cleared away today by definite advices that Chile and Mexico will remain neutral and increasing indications that Brazil, Guatemala and Peru will join Cuba and Panama on the side of the United States. Mexico’s decision caused no surprise and is regarded as certain to have little influence with her sister republic. Reports that General Carranza was softening to a distinct proAmerican attitude have not been credited by officials here and neither have they believed wid'ly circulated stories that he vzas preparing to ally himself with Germany.
