BRAZIL’S SHARE IN THE WAR.
An officer of the Brazilian Navy, -who is now in London, states that the extent of his country’s active participation in the war was agreed upon several weeks ago, since when preparations have been going on with great energy. Brazil has only a limited number of warships of the type most needed to fight the submarine, but all these are fully commissioned and in war trim, and will doubtless make their appearance in the war zone in due course. My informant states, towever, that Brazil has become an important centre of aviation, and already possesses a considerable reserve of machines. Some of her pilots trained in France and America, are .exceedingly skilful. They are now doing duty as instructors to the many -volunteers who have come forward to join the Brazilian Flying Corps for service in France.
