The Bolivian army is in danger of being surrounded in the Gran.Chaco and attacked from all sides at once by the Paraguayans, and the country itself is in a state of turmoil approaching revolution.
The disturbed affairs of state are due to the dis- content in the army, where the troops and subordinate officers are infuriated at what they consider futile tactics and needless sacrifice in action. They blame the general staff for their recent reverses in the line.

Washington, Nov. 29.
The Administration is apparently increasingly termined to engage in a naval construction race with Japan if the Tokyo Government forces the issue by Washington Treaty which governs the sea strength-of insisting upon naval parity and denouncing the
the nations.
The Government is apparently reconciled to thế belief that Japan will abrogate the Washington and London Treaties, but officials are not budging from their refusal to concede parity.
Instead, the determination is hardening that United States should enforce the five-five-three ratio in so far as she is able, by building five warships for ovary three Japan lays down. -

England to Singapore is faster than any other are contained in the following letter received by the management of the Bank Line Brownies at the recent rally.
