■GREEN HELL'IS 1934 PICTURE OF FRANCEINI9I7 Modern Means of Slaughter Used in Bolivia’s War With Paraguay. Tht* It tbc third of > series of four lltftWhn on thr sham War, deserlblt how It It foarht and how the troops Urt and die. BY ARCH RODGERS United Free* Staff Correspondent • Copyright. 1934. by United Pressl BUENOS AIRES. Argentina, Dec. 19.—Men are suffering and dying bythousands in the Chaco as Bolivians and Paraguayans hammer at each other In a conflict as terrible, in miniature, as the World War. The lessons of modem means of slaughter learned in Europe are being followed; and even the tactics of the French and German armies are copied, Bolivia using the German method. Paraguay the French. At the start of the war, it was not organized on such a scale and the fighting was comparatively simple—bullets and knives. Now, with the Paraguayans pressing hard towards Bolivian soil, artillery and machine guns and airplane bombs work terrible havoc in the major engagements. Paraguay yesterday declined to accept League of Nations’ recommendations for peace, terming them impracticable, and Bolivia prepared for the greatest battle of the war before its army base at Villa Montes. Fighting Fierce Throughout The fighting has been fierce through the war. Although suffering reverses lately, the Bolivians achieved many brilliant victories in past engagements as the tide of battle flowed back and forth among the forts dotting the forests, plains and swamps of the 100.000-square-mile area. Their defense of Ft. Ballivian recalled France at Verdun. The hardy Bolivian soldiers of Indian type who comprise a large part of the Bolivian army have had to overcome a decided disadvantage in the climate. They are from the high Bolivian mountain country, unused to the low altitude and steaming, enervating heat of the lowlands in the summer. The Paraguayans are from the lowlands and used to the climate. They are mostly of Indian, Spanish and other European blood, and are lighter in color than the Bolivians. The fertile Paraguayan lands were more attractive to European immigrants than the Bolivian mountain towns. Although not the “Green Hell'’— except in certain parts of the northern Chaco jungle—that it has been painted, the Chaco undoubtedly presents the most terrible fighting conditions known in modern warfare. Both Sides Exhausted The drill-clad Paraguayans and the khaki-uniformed Bolivians have faced each other from opposite j trenches at times as near as six ( paces together. Both sides became exhausted. Sleep was impossible because of the terrible heat, the droves of mosquitoes, poisonous reptiles and creeping things. In addition, because of the close- j ness, neither side dared to rest for : fear of being slaughtered. The full j story of savage fighting and almost i inhuman sufferings may never be j appreciated. Water is at a premium in the Chaco and the torture of thirst was frequently added, especially in the ; early days of the war. Many died of disease. In early battles, some Paraguayan regiments fought armed only with machetes, a sort of overgrown butcher knife. In the hands of experienced Yerba workers it proved a formidable weapon and many a Bolivian head rolled in the dust. Women Play Big Role The women of both countries have taken a great part in the war both as nurses at the front, in hospitals at the rear, and other auxiliary services. In the Paraguayan war against Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay 70 years ago. the women fought side Dy side with the men at the front. Some adventurous Amazons even offered themselves for service early in this war but of course were rejected. One girl actually spent some months fighting at her brother's side until she was discovered. If the Bolivians are expelled from the Chaco, the girls of Concepcion. Paraguay, who vowed to use no rouge or lipstick until the land is freed of the enemy, once again can begin to beautify themselves as they did before the war. Their attitude meanwhile is typical of the entire population of both lands—the war must be won at any Co6t. Tomorrow Financial aspects of the war.

Indiana in Brief

Jlji Time* Spedal KOKOMO, Dec. 19.—Whether the D. C. Jenkins Glass Company, with plants here and at Arcadia, will continue under its present control or face a fight to avoid a receivership, is to be determined by Dec. 31, it was agreed at a hearing in Howard Circuit Court here. Counsel for the company, arguing against immediate pressing of receivership suits, one filed in behalf of bondholders and the other by twelve employes who wish to collect wages, said negotiations with Chicago interests are under way looking towards obtaining financial assistance. An attorney—speaking on behalf of the bondholders—declared insurance on the company's plants has lapsed and he considered attempts to obtain financial aid would be fruitless. However, he agreed to post-

pone action on the receivership suit until Dec. 31. a an Indictments Fought By Time* Special MUNCIE' Dec. 19.—Counsel for George L.
