Other strong Brazilian newspapers published in Rio are _O Paiz_, _O Imparcial_, _O Correio da Manhã_ issued in the morning, with a host, including _A Platea_, _A Tarde_, _O Noite_ and the afternoon edition of the _Jornal do Commercio_, issued any time after mid-day: the latter has had a wonderful war-review series of articles running since 1914. Very many papers of the Brazilian press, like the major part of the non-German Brazilian people, are strongly pro-Ally, and particularly pro-French, and have no hesitation in declaring their feelings, as witness the “Liga Brasileira pelos Alliados” formed by some of the foremost men of the country, but in the case of the war articles of the afternoon _Jornal_ there was a serious attempt at impartiality. It was possible thus to read first a criticism of the war-telegrams of the day showing that a distinct advantage had accrued to the Allies, while printed just below would be another analysis by a second contributor, demonstrating that the news was distinctly favourable to the Teutonic forces. Also published in Rio are many technical papers, medical and engineering periodicals, etc., and some of the gay illustrated weeklies of very free speech, as _O Malho_, _A Careta_, _Fon-Fon_; also the _Revista da Semana_, a society paper. There are French, Italian and German papers, but the great home of a polyglot press is São Paulo, with its groups of immigrants. Here the oldest Brazilian paper is the _Correio Paulistano_, sixty years established, a daily morning paper; another in the same class and perhaps the most widely read is the _Estado de São Paulo_, while the _Commercio de São Paulo_[5] also has a high reputation. The _Estado_ runs an afternoon edition, and there are many other evening papers—the _Diario Popular_, _Naçao_, _Gazeta_, etc. For the Italian population there is the daily morning _Fanfulla_, the afternoon _Giornale degli Italiani_ and the weekly _Italiano_. Germans have the morning _Diario Alemão_ and the weekly _Germania_. Two French weeklies seem to do well, the _Messager de S. Paul_, and the _Courrier Français_. There is a Spanish _Diario Español_, two Turkish papers, and in the colonies outside the city there are said to be Russian and Japanese sheets published. The city of S. Paulo counts eighty journals, the State counting over two hundred dailies and weeklies. Rio and S. Paulo are the two chief literary centres, but every town of any size in Brazil has its newspaper. Of these perhaps the most important are the Pernambuco papers; the _Diario de Pernambuco_, already mentioned, bears the proud inscription of its age in conspicuous lettering on the front of its building in a square in Recife; it is a very good paper, and so is the _Jornal do Recife_, among several other daily sheets. Bahia has the _Diario de Bahia_ and _Diario de Noticias_, amongst others, and the State Press here also publishes daily an excellent _Diario Official_.
