Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 242, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 October 1917 — Brazil Enters War Arena Against Germany. [ARTICLE]

Brazil Enters War Arena Against Germany.

The chamber of deputies of Brazil Friday by a vote of 149 to 1, voted that a state of war existed between Brazil and Germany. The senate gave the deputies their unanimous support. Brazil was forced into the war in much the same manner that the United States was. Germany interfered with the sea rights of Brazil and committed atrocities which the government of that country felt they could no longer endure.
