tions of the Republic has landed on American soil, to return the call of the Secretary of State Elihu Root, and repeat to the President of the United States that his country has no better friend than Brazil, no nation which nurtures for the American Union a stronger sentiment of moral solidarity. The utterance will be so much the more easily believed in that it will not come from the mouth of a professional diplomatist, as a more or less perfunctory automatic song of friendly tune. Mr. Lauro Müller is a man of scientific attainments, a military engineer of the Goethals type. He was the leading spirit in the development of the Brazilian harbors and railways before becoming Minister of Foreign Affairs. In this position he has so dealt with the foreign relations of Brazil as to free them from all suspicion of political intrigue and lend them an element not only of profound national loyalty but of modern progress.
