"INCE Brazil declared 26. 1311. valuable™ assistance to the given to a representative of the Times by Rear-Admiral Francisco de Mat- sion to Burape. Lieut. Neiva, staff officer, left Brasil present year and travelled to the con- tinent by way of this country. He de- cided to discharge the continental portion of his mission first, and since February he has been in Italy, Greece and France, where he has visited the naval squadrons, ports and arsenals, and also the great munition works. He is now about to make a similar study here, and the Brazilian Naval Mission will be permanently estab- lished in this country until the end of the war. The object of the mis- sion, statéd in official language, is "to follow tlie operations of war of the Allied squadrons, and to super- intend the naval operations of Brasil in Europe." A So far Brazilian co-operation In the war has been mainly, though by no means exclusively, naval. "Since war wis declared," said Admiral de Mat- tos, "we have carried out patrol work in conjupetion with the British and American navies for the protection of Allied commerce. Our ships have operated' in this muanner in several zomes 'of Allied traffic. Again, when the war broke out, there were 62 German merchant ships interned in Brazilian ports These have been been taken over by the Brazilian Gov- ernment, and 29 of them, represent ing a tonnage of 250,000 tons, nave been ceded to France in order to re- lieve the maritime transport difficul- ties of that gountry. We have also had submarine-chasers at work." It may be explained that the Brazilian navy, though not a large one, is up- to-date. It includes'two 20,-000-ton battleships, two cruisers, 10 destroy- ers, and a number of submarines. Practically all these vessels have been built for the Brazilian Govern- ment in British yards, and the navy is the creation of the present Minister of Marine, Admiral Alexandrino de Alencar. "1 always entertained hopes that the submarine menace would be over- come," said Admiral de 'Mattos. "What I have seen since I came to Europe has augmented those hopes. I am more confident than ever. Iu fact; 1 consider that the submarine war is already in its death throes, The submarine is definitely beaten." Apart from naval co-operation, Brazil has 50 military surgeons work- ing 'in hospitals 'n London and Paris, and she has sent a large num- ber of naval and military airmen to Europe, The former are in training in England; the latier are in France Furthermore, Brazil has been able to send quantities of meat, cereals, and other foodstuffs (0 the Allies. ""41] these foodstuffs are very plen- tiful," sald Admiral de Mattos, "and Brazil's capacity to supply the Allies 18 only limited by the tonnage avail able. If We had the ships, there would be no need for rationing." Speaking of the effect of the war upon conditions in Brazil, Admiral de Mattos said the country was very prosperous. "I do not mean to say that lots of people are making money out of the war," he explained, "be- cause, whatever may be the case elsewhere, 1 do not think that such a statenient would be true of Brazil. But, undoubtedly, the effect of the war has been to start into life and to develop hitherto dormant econo- mie forces in the country, and it has given a marked impetus to the pro- duction of coal and meat. Generally, the whole agricultural industry 1s thriving. The cost of living has in- creased but very little owing to the _ | development of our own resources. Of course, imports have largely ceased, but there ia no real deficiency of any- thing. The people are enthusastic for the cause of the Allies, and there are no pro-Geriman manifestations. We have a large number of German residents in Brazil, but they keep quiet." \ Rotefing his experiences on the contin al Admiral de Mattos said. that whal had surprised him most was the wonderful development of italy. I knew," he sid, "that Great, Britain and France were ably to cope with the onslaught of the Chniral Powers, but 1 had no idea that Italy had made the strides she has done. Her scale of production is marvellous and her enthusiasm un- bounded. There is no doubt that italy is thoroughly prépared. I am not a bit surprised at fhe result of the Austrian offensive.

ALL LOVE THE VIOLET. Were Stained Purple Said Greeks by Blood From Foot of Aphrodite. The finding of the year's first vio let is' an important annual event. Even though it may not be the first wild flower the first of the violet tribe is notable. It is the earliest gift of the floral family that\is most commonly known and most general- ly loved. The downy yellow violet is not our only common yellow violet." The hal- berd-leaved violet, which comes a lit- tle later, is a more impressive spe- cies. There are also several whites and many blues, The blues have been accepted as the normal violets, the violet violets. The yellows and whites, béautiful as they are, seem to be departures from type. The blues are commonest, and {the commonest of the blues is Viola ! eucullata, which happens to be about the most beautiful American mem- ber of the violet tribe. "Everyone foves the violets. Per~ haps no other flower has been so uni- versally admired. Homer, whose gen- tie allusions to nature are not fre- quent, tells of "meadows of softest verdure, purple over with violets." The Greeks knew why some of the violets were purple, Aprodite, wan- dering barefoot in the vernal woods, was impiously wounded by 'a thorn. The white violets received the blood which dripped from the divine foot 'and thus acquired their purple hue. Not so.-pretty a story is that told by an English poet, who holds that @he Wiiite violets were audacious girls {who presumed to compare their beau- {ty with that of Aphrodite. The angry goddess appealed to Eros for judg- ment and the love god mischievously declared in favor of the maidens. Whereupon Aphrodite proceeded to | flog the brazen hussies till they were | quite Sine, a color they have since § | ERIE alt Sn ha : | Zeus, it will be remembered, fell | & vietim to the charms of the nymph, jo, whom he: caused to assume the | shape of a heifer in order to elude the jealous eyes of Hera. For lo's delection the king of gods created the violets and spread lovely fields of them for his cow-love"s pasturage. Thus, "lon" became the Greek name for the violet, and as the Thenians derived their origin from the lonians the violet was accepted as their na- tional emblem. The proudest and most cultu.ed men of Athens were pleased with the myth that traced their racial source to the violet- strewn pastures of the philandering Olympian. i Since the days of Athepjan glory every race and every nation of Eu- 'rope has loved and honored the vio- let. In modern times it was Bona- parte's flower and in 1874, after the fall of the third Ngpeleon, the French republic foolishly decreed a ban on "use in bouquets. The Huns and Russia.
