But these Pacific island editors should learn the use of words. The Pacific ocean is going to be, for some time to come, a Japanese lake, a Chinese lake, a British lake, an Australian lake, a Chilean lake, a Mexican lake as well as several other kinds of a lake, to the same extent that it is an American lake. (Oh "Hartford" did ye spoke (poke). Ed.) w i& Washington, March 25. That Senora Angelia Oliviera Cezar de Costa ,and not Theodore Roosevelt, should have received the famous Nobel Prize is the universal assertion of the liberty-loving men and women of Chile and Argentine. And it is proper to add that their contention is upheld by many humanitarians and others in this country. Mr. Roosevelt was awarded the Nobel Prize for his potential aid in bringing about peace and the conclusion of a mutually satisfactory treaty between Russia and Japan. Senora de Costa averted a bloody war between Chile and Argentina, the two most southern Latin republics of this hemisphere, and by inducing them to conclude a permanent peace, showed the civilized world what can be done by arbitration. "Sc desplomaram antes estas montanas que Chilenos y Argentines rompan la paz que han jurado 'a los pies del Cristo Redentor." "Sooner shall these mountains crumble into dust than Chileans and Argentines break the peace which at the feet of Christ the Redeemer they have sworn to maintain." That is the inscription on the foot of the historic pedestal of the great bronze statue of "The Christ of the Andes," which stands on the crest' of the Andes, at the spot where tourists and others from Chile and Argentina meet on their journey from and to their respective countries. Here is the dividing line, where the herders from both countries frequently cross with their cattle and great flocks of sheep, and here, buffeted by eternal snows, the statue raises its lofty redeeming cross piercing the evening mists and stands, forever, a cheering guide and beacon to the weary traveler. Senorita Carolina who is ever on the alert to bring the United States and the Latin republics into close and intimate communion, commercially and THE HONOLULU TIMES otherwise, writes that this statue was cast from molten cannon, "placed there by the efforts of noble women of Argentina through the initiative of Senora de Costa in that solemn and memorable hour which augured well for the peace of South America, when Chileans and Argentines met and fraternized and the treaties of amnesty, arbitration and disarmament were consummated ,thsu finally settling a long-time dispute over boundaries, which not only involved the great water sheds of the Cordilleras, but the sovereignty over 83,000 square miles of territory."
