WAR SITUATION.
Formal Declaration Sought in
South America
BLOCKADE OF BOLIVIA MOOTED
NEW YORK, February ID
A message from Asuncion, Paraguay, reports that in semi-official quarters it is stated that the Paraguayan Senate is to meet in an extraordinary session next week to consider a resolution to make a formal declaration of war against Bolivia. This follows upon eight months of warfare in the Gran Chaco area. Argentina, Chile, Peru and Brazil are said to bo contemplating a blockade of the Bolivian frontier in order to force a cessation of hostilities. The suggested declaration of war apparently is inspired by the belief that an actual state of war will facilitate a blockade.
