C., Aug. 18.—Slow-I ty but surely the Latin-American re public* aro taking step» aimed at Ger-I ftiany, until government officials here! expect soon to boo most of the west-1 ®τη hemisphere in the war against the ι Teutons. In the diplomatic game thero are three etet)». First a country simplyj euspends diplomatic relations. This Vieann it Is still neutral. When its Irritation Increases, it re vokes its neutrality with one of the belligerents. Finally, comcs the la.it step-—a declaration of war. Revocation of neutrality is often quite as useful. For Instance, ne a re sult of this action already taken In Latin-America, the vast Caribbean and South Atlantic coastline is large ly anti-German. Leaving Mexico out of consideration, Rll Caribbean ports except those of Colombia and Venezu ela are open to the Allies. Tills means the territorial waters of Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Cos ta Rica (which is rated neutral but offered her ports to American war ves sels) and Panama. On the Atlantic coast America and her Allies have acress not only to tho ports of British and French Guiana, but also to the tremendous const of 1 Brazil and Uruguay, with their great I cities of Bahla, Rio Janeiro and Monte-', video. , , Singularly, the reverse Is true of the Pacific ooast where all the I.atln-Amer lca.ii republics have stuck seduously to their neutrality. However, only In ι the Houth Atlantic Is there duncer of Qerman sea raiders. Free access to these Atlantic ports means a multiplicity of plares where American and allied patrolling fleets can put In for coal, provisions, mall, messages and repairs. But some of these countries offar other advantages. For Instance, Bra zil has her fleet patrolling the South Atlantic with our warships and her congress Ih now discussing appropriat ing $50,000,000 for war purposes. Guatemala has a railroad line from Tuerto Barries on the Atlantic to San Jose to the Pacific, uffordlng the United States quick transportation of men, supplies and ammunition from ocean to ocean in rase of emergency. Finally It gratifies tho administra tion that both kinds of Latln-Amer lcans have Joined hands with us. Brazil Is the groatest Portuguese coun try, and all the other South and Cen tral American nations that have Join ed aro Spanish-American. KDBŒSŒSfflB There's KclU'f in Tolling Secrets. I had a letter from Elaine this morn lng, little book, that has caused me much disquiet. It concerns Mollie, dear darling Mollie. If anything hap rencd to Mollie I think I could not ear It. I feel toward her almost u.i tftough sho were my child, and she tells me I have been mother, sister, conlklunt and friend to her. "You have given me almost all my pleasures, Margie," she said to me Just before we started, "and you are the only person In ail the world that I can talk to freely." Of course, I could never be as con fidential with Mollie as I have been •with you, and that Is the reason why I think every woman should keep κ diary. It Is a great safety value. It keeps us from telling other people things that ofttimes we regret after ward. "I don't want to be sad or sorry," aald a woaiuui of great poise to mo once. "I never tell my most exciting experience*, nor my most interesting thoughts to anyone, for you are to get thom back some day In a way that will bring you great sadness and make you very sorry yo*u told." But very few women, Mttle book, are sufficient unto themselves. I ex pect In over thousands of years of more or less dependence we have learned to tell someone our troubles and others joys. I said this to Jim Edlo once and he said, "Perhaps the primitive worn an told these little tales of her dally existence to make conversation for her lord and master when he came home from the battle or the chase. The modern woman, If she be clever, does not do this. She tells her husband as little as he does her," he added cyn ically. "I notice while husbands and Avives tell their soorcts to wives and husbands they ere usually somebody else's wives and husbands." I wonder if Jim meant that or did he just say it to be funny. Goodness, if I were talking to any one but you, Mttle book, the poreon would be euro to thing I did not real ly have much interest in Mollie after «11. KJl-eSS-W rlte»l J y ' distraught over the approaching birth of a child as Is Chad Hatton. Some times 1 think he dreads Its coming to such an extent he hopes It will be born dead. "He seems to be quite as much In love with Mollle as aver, In fact at llrst I thought he was jealous of the baby, but 1 have como to the conclus ion there Is some other reason. Per haps It la an unreasonable fear that something will happen to hor." (Isn't It strange, little book, that we almost always say "something will happen" when we mean only one thing will happen—death?) "I think," the lettor continues, "It Mollle should die Chad would kill himself and the ohlld. Poor chap, hS has had a rather sad life, has he not? I am sure Mollle Is the only woman who could and would understand him. "He Is so moody at times I could not possibly stand him around, bul even now when he seems to be worse than usual Mollle goes on hor way with a poise of which I never thought her capable. "She Is perfectly calm to the outside «ye although 1 know she must have some of the terrible moments that como to a woman before hor first child is born." I am sure, little book, Chad has a secret dread he Is not telling even to Mollle. Surely he is not so foolish as to think Mollle may go mad as his first wife did. It is something even Pat does not know about for before I came away Pat and Alice told me Jiow happy Chad was and how he was surely coming out of his moods. "Aft or all, Margie, whatever Is right. Alice suits me better than even dear Molllo could and Mollle Is much bet ter suited to Chad. It Isn't such a. bad world after all, Is It?" The world is all right, tlttl· book, It Is only what we make of It. (To be Continued.) Estimates Cbeerrully Purnlehed. G. R.

Mr. Russell is now writing for the Newspaper Enterpriso Association the story, in a series of articles, of what he saw and heard in great Russia, and his impressions. He will tell the truth about the revolution, the government and the thou sand and one things of interest in that huge land—the truth as revealed to him in his double capacity as an American official and a conscientious reporter. His articles will appear EX LUSIVELY in the EVENING NEWS and its associate mem bers of The Newspaper Enter prise Association. They will be by far the most important and interesting news paper articles on the war, to date. They will reveal the inner workings of the Russian de mocracy, its hopes and aspira tions, its plans and fears, as ,SUS£EL& they could by no one less than the trained observer that Rus sell is. They will peer behind the mystery of that sudden revolu tion, pierce the obscurity that shrouds recent history, and bring into the light of publicity the motives behind the present revolts against the new author ity and the hidden strings that seek to wreck the newest re public. THEY WILL EXPLAIN KE RENSKY, the "New Napo leon," not as he hag been pic tured, but AS HE IS ; and they will detail the wonderful stories of Siberia's prison camps when they heard the word of free dom.
