South America Now Breathes Easy

Settlement of Tacna Dispute Ends Fifty-Year War Threat. — Santiago, Chile. —The announcement of the settlement ot the long standing boundary dispute over Tacna and Arica, often called the AlsaceLorraine of South America, ends a fifty year threat of war that many times has imperiled the peace of South America. The dispute had its beginning tn the war of the Pacific, or the nitrate war, as it is more latterly called which began in 1879 when Chile in vaded the Bolivian province of Ata cama on the pretext of broken treaty rights. Prior to this war much Chilean cap Ital was invested in the nitrate plants of Atacama, but Chile never vigorously pressed its doubtful claim to the province as long as Bolivia .did not attempt to tax Chilean capital in vested there.. Whether, as charged by Chile, for the purpose of inciting war or for revenue, Bolivia broke its treaty with Chile and began taxing Chilean nitrate interests. Without waiting to declare war Chile seized the city of Antofagasta. Chile Wins. Two weeks later Bolivia formally declared war and called upon Peru to assist her. The Chileans charge that Bolivia and Peru had an offensive and defensive treaty against Chile. The war ended in 1881 when Chilean troops seized the city of Lima. The treaty of Ancon was signed in 1881. Bolivia handed over to Chile the province of Atacama, and thereby lost its entire seaboard and a world monopoly of nitrate of soda. Peru ceded the province of Tarapaca and handed over Tacna and Arica for ten years, when a plebiscite was to have been held. The plebiscite was never held, as the Peruvians will explain, because Chile feared she would not win, and. as the Chileans will explain, because Peru believed she would lose. The fact of the matter is, the plebi scite was never held for the very good reason that Chile fought two nations in 1879 to obtain the province, and as long as the veterans of that war dominated the politics of the nation she stood ready every minute to fight again to hold it Matter of History. Like the veterans of the American Civil war the veterans have now passed from the political picture, and for several years Tacna and Arica has been only a matter of the history books for the present generation of Chileans. Thus it was that the way was paved for the announcement of the present settlement.

FRISCO’S TELEGRAPH HILL SOON WILL BE BEAUTIFIED

Famous Place Played Important Part in Early History of California. > San Francisco.—Telegraph hill, which played an important part In California’s early history and In its latter days became a retreat of the intelllgenzia, is about to dress up and be formal. Looking over San Francisco bay from its lofty perch above the Italian district. Telegraph hill long has been a spot of Intense local Interest, It was from the crest of the hill, years ago, that the then new “wills pering wires” of telegraph carried the first message across the continent. But before that—back In the pioneer days when gun toting editors wrote of local happenings— Telegraph hill was the signal point from which ships were guided through Golden Gate. In latter years, because of its se

More War Time Horrors to Be Razed

In recent years the disputed province has been a convenient tool for politicians, if President Leguia became involved in internal dissension he had only to raise the question of Tacna and Arica to divert public attention. Likewise, in Chile, when the army was goiny to revolt in 1920 the politicians raised the cry of war with Peru and rushed 20.000 soldiers to the northern frontier to defend the nation against a mythical army of their own fabrication. Although Bolivia was left out in the cold in the present settlement, there is no doubt that she has not given up her hopes for an outlet to the sea. and many persons believe that Peru will sell her share of the settlement to Bolivia after the completion of the port. The province is worth little or nothing to Peru, outside of the honor involved. By the treaty of 1903 Bolivia waived all claims against Chile upon the latter’s promise to build the Ariea-La Paz railroad and upon the payment of a large indemnity. This treaty was definitely discharged last year when Chile turned over the Bolivian section of the railroad to Bolivia. While it is pointed out In some quarters here that the United States and Great Britain could never have afforded tc permit Chile and Peru to go to war, all South America has breathed a sigh of relief over the settlement, because the province was long a potential tinder box of an all South America conflagration.

Now the hill is to become formal, carrying with the change the danger uthat another of old San Francisco’s distinctions is to pass. The North Beach Business Men’s association is sponsoring a beautification contest and improvements, long spurned, are likely to be made. This beautification idea, following the construction of a winding road up the hill, is in recognition of the lure the old hill has for tourists. Already boys in the Italian district line the streets and for a dime show motorists up the winding roadway to the crest of the hill and point down the side where, in the heart of a great city, nestle numerous ch blns of the mountain type.

The bag had reached the other side of the street and was heading for Gratiot avenue. Taube trailed the bag to Dubois street. When he overtook it, the lieutenant warily knocked it aside with the toe of his shoe. The bag had been doing duty as a sedan for an eight pound turtle.

Lesson for July 21 EZEKIEL’S VISION OF HOPE LESSON TEXT—Ezekiel 47:1-12. GOLDEN TEXT—Of the increase ot bis government and peace there shall be no end. PRIMARY TOPlC—Ezekiel’s Message □f Hope. JUNIOR TOPIC —Ezekiel’s Message of Hope. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—WiII the Right Finally Win? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Cure for the World’s Illa Ezekiel’s final vision, chapters 40 to 48. exhibits a comprehensive view of the restored order when rhe Messiah I shall hold sway over the whole earth, i Our lesson for today is but a sm 0 !! part of this vision. It can be understood only in the light of-the whole. The following outstanding facts should be noted: 1. The restored temple (chs. 40-42). 2 The return of Jehovah, (ch. 43). In chapter 11 the Lord is seen taking His departure. In chapter 43 He is seen returning. 3. The arrangement of the services of the temple (chs. 44-46). 4. The river flowing from the temple (47:1-12). 5. The land apportioned among the people (47:13-48:29). | 6. The holy city (48:30-35). In the attempted interpretation of this vision, some five different views are held. The one preferred by the present writer is that It Is a prediction of the temple which shall be erected in Messianic times. The literal view prevents wild speculation and at the same time permits rhe fullest figurative application. In fact, the Holy Spirit gives the interpretation of the waters flowing from the smitten rock (I Cor. 10:4) in such away as to leave no doubt as to its meaning. The river flowing forth from the sanctuary typifies the river of life, the salvation of Christ flowing forth to the world. Observe: I. The River's Source (vv. 1.2). It flows forth from the house —the restored temple where God has come to dwell. It flows from the divine presence. This flowing of the waters is miraculous. So Is the eternal life which proceeds from Calvary’s cross. Because Christ is divine. His shed blood has power to give life. It is to be noted that the stream came byway of the altar (v. 1). showing that eternal life for the world proceeds from God byway of the cross. Perhaps the deepest mystery of life is how life can spring out of death. Despite its mystery, the student of the Holy Scriptures and of physical science knows that life out of death is the philosophy of the universe. “Except I a corn of wheat fall into the ground ■ and die, it abideth alone.” 11. The Deepening River (vv. 3-5). The deepening and enlarging is without any tributaries. For the first quarter mile the depth was to the ankles. By the time It had reached one-half mile it was to the knees. Till the distance of three-fourths mile was reached it was to the waist, and at the end of the first mile it was too deep to ford—“waters to swiin in.” The spiritual truth to be derived from this figure is that the life and salvation which have flowed forth from Calvary made vital by the Holy Spirit, have widened and deepened through the centuries and dispensations. This is especially true of the individual who yields himself to the Holy Spirit. 111. The Healing Effect of the Waters (vv. 6-21). There is life In the progress of this river. “Everything shall live whither the river cometh” (v. 9). It flows from the altar toward the east country down Into the desert and into the Dead sea. “The region of the Dead sea which has been the embodiment of barrenness and desolation, in the coming day Is to be changed into a scene of life and fruitfulness.”—Gray. 1. Trees on the banks of the river (vv. 7,8). Just as vegetation flourishes near the river, so wherever Christ’s salvation is witnessed to in the energy of the Holy Ghost, life comes. This has’ been true throughout the centuries of church history. The details of fruitfulness are enumerated in verse 12. 2. Everything in the waters shall live (v. 9). Wherever the stream flows, there shall be life, 3. The waters of the Dead sea shall be healed (v. 10). Fishers shall gather from the Dead sea even as from the Mediterranean. The gospel brings life to those in trespasses and sin. The world is dead and therefore in need of the life-giving stream from Calvary. No Indolence in Heaven The notion that ardent, loving, eager spirits should be required to spend eternity in a sort of lazy contentment, ‘forbidden to stir a finger for love and truth and right, is surely an insupportj able one! What would be the joy of i heaven to a soul full of energy and love, forced to drowse through the : ages in epicurean ease? If heaven, has any meaning at all, it must satisfy our best and most active inspirations ; and a paradise of utter and eternal indolence would be purgatory or hell to all noble natures. Science and Faith Lord Kelvin’s estimate of the age of the earth at around a hundred million years did not seem to him or to the church to be in conflict with the first chapters of Genesis. He said: , “I believe that the more thoroughly science is studied the further does it take us from anything comparable to atheism.” And again : “If you think strongly enough, you will be forced by science to the belief In God, which is the foundation of all religion. You will find it not antagonistic but helpful to religion.”
