MAN'S 3RE~ OF QUALITY MANNING, S.C ARIMCAJAND&Off. IN MGSWINNEY.AffAIR Refuses to Interfere With Great Brit ain's Business IS NOT AMERICAN CITIZEN 19ot in Position to Make Protestations; Says State Department. New York, Sept. 6.--Peter J. Mac 8wincy, brother of the lord mayor of Cork, who is reported dying as the result of a hunger strike in Brixton prison, London, has made public a copy of a letter which he said he had re ceived from the State Department Washington, setting forth that it was "not in a position to make protesta tions to the British authority" against the lord mayor's arrest. Mr. Mac Swiney had requested the State De partment to intervene in his brother's behalf. The leter dated August 24 said: "The receipt of your letter of Au gust 18, 1920, and your telegram of August 21, 1920, is acknowledged call ing the department's attentio nto the alleged arrest and imprisonment of your brother, Terence MacSwiney, by the British authorities. "In reply beg to inform you that, from precedent established in cases of this kind, the department finds it is not in a position to make protestations to the British authorities against the arrest and imprisonment of one who, like your brother, is not a citizen of the United States." Report Weakness Increases. London, Sept. 6.-At 9 o'clock to night Lord Mayor MacSwiney was still living, but his weakness was increas ing and the pIison doctor suggested to his relatives that he be not alleyed to converse because of the waste i'o his strength. His wife and sisters spent several hours in the prison today. On leaving this evening, his wife said: "You can hardly imagine that hc ec-uld be so bad and still survive. Oui only hope now is in America and foi American financiei s tu withdraw thhe money from English securities. Ap. parently labor in England can d< nothing for us." Would Release on Conditions. London, Sept. 7.-A dispatch to th< London Times from Liege, Belgium c,utes David Lloyd George, the li; ish prime minister, as sayiag that i guarantees are given that the murde of policemen in Ireland will ce~ie th premier is convinced that Lord Mayi MacSw'rcy and the other hunge strikers will be released from prisor Other special dispatches tend to em firm the interview printed 'n th Times. --o USE OF TELEPHONE IN SOUTH AMERIC,' Net Work About 100 Times Mor Dense in U. S. Other Figure Cited. New York, Sept. 6.-There is onl; one telephone for every 300 populatioi in Central and South America accord ing to figures madle public after; survey by the A merican Trelephone an< Telegraph Company. In the othe American republies the tele'phone far from being the univeversal mean of communication that it is in thi country and the main detvelopmen Ithere is in the big cities, the othe areas being very poorly served. Th tele-phone network is about a hundre times as dense in this country as whole, as it is there. In point of th number of telephones per hundred c popula tion, the service here is mor than thity timites as goodl. The total of .425,403 telephonesi ail Ilthe Soth antd Central Amnerica connitries, including Cuba and Ilait should be coimparedl with the twelv I mill ion in the Un Iitedl States, whie have about the same total populatiot Argentine leads with 105,205 tehi p~hones, or ne:. 'ly a thir'd of the tot: The other countries having more thu HORSI ACa SSaddle Horst Several Spee< good Mules c U See us for IIcoFF 10,000 telephones are: Brazil 67,366; Mexico, 440,211; Cuba, 28,152; Chile 23670 and Uruguay, 19,486 Haiti with a total of 2500,000 people, has eighty two telephones. Telephones Scarce. Only one telephone for about every 300 population is found in the whole area, as compared with 11,39 for every hundred of population in the United States at the same (late, or about thir ty-four for every 300 population. Uruguay leads the Latin-American countries in point of telephone density with 1.34 telephones per hundred peo ple. The only other countries having as much as one telephone per hun dred population are Argentine. Cuba and Panama. In the three countries having the highest telephone develop ment, the systems are almost wholly under private ownership. The total telephone wire mileage is 905,587 compared with 29,800,000 in this country. Taking into considera tion the fact that the total area of the South and Central American countries is 8,476,600 square miles, compared with the 3,027,000 square miles of the United States there is only about one tenth of a mile of wire for every square mile -in the Latin countries, while there is nearly ten miles for every square mile here. This means that the telephone network is nearly a hundIred times as highly developed here as down there. Extent of Service. h'le extent to which the countries are served by their systems is indi cated by the figures showing the tele phone (levelopment in the largest city in each country. Havana, Cuba, is the most highly developed with 5.5 tele pliones per hundred population. Tak ing in al lof Cuba, however, there is only one teleplhone per hundred peo ple, Mexico City has 3.9 per hundred Mexico as a whole has only 0.25 tele T N 11 - 111 Your Succ< Is Our Suc< It has alwvays bec manifest a friendi welfare of deplosito for the success of for their success,1 of the bank are clo; fare of its custome W~e sto~v to me banking, ) prin1)ciple First Nati< ~I W.
