Braill's en traiee Into the world war on the side or the allies righting for de mocracy, gives the people or this country a new snd lively Interest in that nation's affairs. September 7 Is railed Indepen dence Day in Brazil for on that day, ta 121, Don Pedro, son or King John YI or Portugal, declared that Brazil, Portugal's largest colonial poseesion, should be henceforth free from the mother country. Tbe evo lotlon was accomplished with prac tically no bloodshed and on October It, Don Pedro was solemnly declar ed emperor or Brazil. . ' Brazil remained an empire for 67 years, the only Instance of an in dependent monarchy in the new world. During these 67 years, the idea of democracy was spreading rapidly over the western hemisphere and the people of Brazil determined to change their government again to keep pare with the more advanced Ideas; and, through a second blood less revolution, on November . 15, 1881, the monarchy was done away with and a republic established In Its place.

And to the republic of Brazil was started on its way In the most peace ful manner Imaginable, no killing of innocent people, no burning of palaces, no street mobs, In fact just the opposite In every way to the cur rent of events in Russia today. Portugal, mother country of Bra zil, sent a special delegation to par ticipate in Brazil's general rejoicing and celebration this month, as an evidence that all past family differ ences between the two countries had long been forgotten.
