in the neutral Chaco zone. They shook hands, con- firming the peace between the two countries after three years of war.

The meeting, arranged by the neutral military commission, was at the former military post of Puesto Merino. General Marinez Pita. of Argentina introduced them. In an exchange of cham- pagne toasts General Estigarribin said:

"General Penarada. I take ad- vantage of the happy circum stances to declare on behalf of Paraguay that your army, againati; which we fought for three years, is doubtless one of the best und most courageous in de world."

In reply the Bolivjan General Brid:

"General Estigarribia, your words are a profound honour, and my country's army also acknow- lodges in your army the highest military virtues. We fought men dio,

General Estigarribia. You know the campaign and the

adverse factors we had to over-

come. Interpreting the sentiment of the Bolivian army, I tonst your army of true men."

When they parted General Esti- garribin presented his pistol to his former enemy.

"This weapon was with me dur ing the whole campaign," he said. "There is nothing better than to leave it in your hands as a per- sonal souvenir."
