Notes

Argentina. Like the flash that precedes the thunder, the Prince of Wales' chauffeur arrived in Buenos Aires to study the capital preparatory to driving his royal master about it. The Prince is expected from Uruguay on Aug. 14.

Panama. At Cristobal in the Panama Canal Zone, the arrival of U. S. General John J. Pershing, traveling as President of the Tacna-Arica Plebiscite Commission (TIME, Mar. 16, 23, 30), was enthusiastically signalled. Later, the General went to the city of Panama, paid his respects to President Rodolfo Chiari who was in mourning for a near relative. General Lassiter, Panaman soldier, gave a reception in honor of his U. S. comrade.

Nicaragua. Proselytism is usually more dangerous for the proselyters than for the proselytees, as a party of Protestant missionaries discovered last week in Catholic Granada, Nicaragua. From the outset the local Catholic Bishop was distinctly adverse to having the Protestant Central American Mission ensconced in his diocese. But the Protestants came, presumably to proselytize, and the Catholics grew irate, made angry noises, threw stones, then threatened violence, death. The missionaries --two females and one male--asked the Nicaraguan Government for protection. A commission of inquiry and 50 soldiers were sent.
