PORTUGAL AND GERMANY. WHEN the news was first published that Germany considered herself in a state of war with Portugal there was a tendency among the Portuguese community in this Colony to treat the matter lightly and to ridicule the idea that the aid which Portugal can give to the Allies can have any influence on the conduct of the cam-to-day at noon and at 3 p.m. paign. This, however, is a mistaken view to take of the matter. Without suggesting that Portugal can furnish material assist. ance to the great Allied armes operating in Europe, where the ultimate issue of the donflict will be decided, it must not be forgotten that the war is world-wide, în its ramifications, and in East Africa, for instance, Portugal's help may be very valuable. Here the progress of the Allies has been slow. Now, however, our enemies will be penned in from all sides and with tho Portuguese marching against them from the South, it is more than probable
