threatened ts b a aerioat outbreak ia
Madrid durina tha recent baker a' strike.
The first "two days of tha bread amrrity
ware dull and threatening and the ban'
gry poo vara so affected brthe lower-
ing kkies and the Uck of food that they
paraded the-streets in ceoupa uttering
ehouta and Jnendcidg- 4loekeepera who

although still hungry . aTDs compelled to
wait indeflalta 'hours for the -loaves to
be doled out the people did a patiently
ana even cneeniy.
All kinds of laws and police regulations
were broken by the- man vwoanen and
children forming tha abnost . endless
bread lines but the authorities took a
acaient view of what occurred. .
When an old man brought ft camp bed-
stead set it up on the sidewalk aud
stretched himself on it a polfreman ar-
rested him and led him ti he station
house with hla bed. The police captain
first looked grave then began to laugh
when the offender explained he knew he
might have to wait anything from 12 to
30 hours for his bread and merely pro
vided against fatigue lie was released
and returned to his place in the line with
hla bed amid the applause of the crowd.
Another group hired a barrel organ
whose owner played popular melodies
while people waiting with growiug appe-
tites and hollow stomachs danced merrily.
On the Calle de la Magdalena a cobbler
arrived carrying a atool hla tools aud a
pair of shoes which ha was able to sole
and beel before bis turn came to ob-
tain a loaf.
Similar scenes were enacted day after
day amid general hilarity until the munic-
ipal authorities decided to break up the
big bread lines by distributing loaves
from a larger number of centers. The
danger-was then over.
Many years ago a clevef chemist was
trying to make an artificial quinine from
beoxine treated with nitric acid. In this
at tempt-be failed but to his great sur-
prise bis process yielded f heaiitv and in
manttty aniline the stuff that is to-
day the source of a whole rainbow of
wonderful dyes.

Parchasa.ot tha vessels at this rime ia
belieaed In soma quarters to be especially
significant In view of a widely held opin-
ion that the Tacna-Arica dispute will
reach a definite crisis within a year.
Well-informed observers say Peru will
likely seek 1 settlement of tha question
before the league of nations of which
she ia a member. She is unable to reach
an agreement with Chile on the long
delayed plebiscite which was to deter
mine tha sovereignty of the provinces
and the opinion Is held here that she can
expect no arbitral aid from the United
States owing to the fact that tha Ameri-
can government in a recent note .to Chile
accepted a policy of alon -intervention
in the Xacna and Arica case.
Chile on theVtitber hand will resist
interference" bi the league of nations it
is believed' having nuequivocally made
her position clear in a reply to a note
of thVX'nited States saying that aha will
net accept Intervention "from any power
or power.?; .Chile s position is that un-
der the term!) of the treaty of A neon her
rii'tts are tio t'.cat tLat there ia sot-l.
to arbitrate.' 1 . ..
Consenacntlv. It ia Drcdicted that
Chile will hasten the dispute to a con-
clusion r fore it reachea the-vStage of
consideraMon by tha league of nations
with tha idea of presenting tba league
with an accompliiied fact tblis fore-
stalling Pam's attempt to gain an arbi-
tration. 1 ; ' .
This "accompuihtd fact" it la assert-
ed would be the ceaaion to Bolivia of
tha port oi Artec m return presumably
for certain compsnsationa. ' r
Whatever ma. ha tha official altiinne
of .the Chilean government and notwitU-
stanoing us ; repaoiauoa - or Peruvian
charier that It haa . instiaBtad' Bolivia
against fero. it la a well known fact In
bouta America that Chile's publiclstf
and statesmen are entirely in sympathy
with Bolivian aspirationa f ot an entlet to
tha PaCifio. - It ia not regarded as
strange therefore that predictions are
heard that when the Tacna-Arica con-
troversy comas to a crisis it will he see a
that Chile is supporting Bolivia'a claims.
