Semething would be gained by depriving an occasional Ger- man raider of its source of information, for, in the past, unquestionably, news regarding the movements of our ships has often been sent to such vessels by secret wireless installations, With the “German people interned, or under police supervision, such operations could be impossible. The modern navies of Ar- gentina and Chile, with their three super dreadnoughts of comparatively recent construction, might serve a useful pur. pose, but the suggestion that Brazil, which is the least powerful of the three Republica from military point of view, should reinforce the Allies with an army of 200,000 men is scarcely worthy of consideration, apart from the difficulties of transport. The great blow to Germany will be the loss of her merchant-hips, which are sheltering in every South American port from Bahia on the Eastern coast to Iquique on the West, and the disorganisation of all her plans for the commercial struggle after the war.
