WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-MetnmorpliosIs
of tho Monroe Doctrine Impends, If (lie
docl.iratlnnn of President Wllnon before
the Pan-Amerlcnn Scientific Comrrran nrc
accepted by the republics of the Western
Hemisphere In the enunciation nf lili
Ideas, the President reversed hla previous
Jtoilcnn policy.
Pleading for n closer union anions fhc
nations of tho Americas, President Wil
son declared It his belief thnt no country
should permit the shipment Into another
country of war munitions, designed to
bo used In a revolution nxnlnst the- con
stituted government of Hint country
It la recalled that, In 1913, the President
lifted the enibnrso on nrms, Imposed by
President Tnft, so thnt tho Carranza
"Villa revolution In Mexico ngnlnst tho
then-l'resldant, Victorlnno Iluerta, mlfiht
be equipped.
Tho Presidents open declnrntlon thnt,
while- the Monroe Doctrlno exclusively
was tho affair of tho United States, a
general agreement should ba reached huii-
plementlnfr It to provide for pnclflc han
dling of all matters nffcctlnK thu nations
of this continent wns ncccptcd an tho
proclamation of a new American policy
which may have n fiir-rciichiiiR effect on
tho future of every nntlon of the West

the pri:sidi:nts PLAN.
Summed up, the President's sURgcstlonfl
provide:
Thnt tho United States nnd Latin
America will guarantee to each na
tion territorial Integrity and political
Independence.
That all pending disputes shnll he
settled by arbitration,
Thnt a general plan of arbitration,
to nffect any dllllculty thnt may arise,
shnll bo provided for by trenty nH
soon ns possible.
Thnt no revolutionary expeditions
shnll bo permitted to bo outfitted In
one nation to proceed agninst an
other. That the Monroe Doctrine shnll bo
maintained by the United States, but
that It will be supplemented by this
Government's promlso that Its power
will not bo used to coerce any other
American nation.
It Is expected tllat the suggcstlonx
made will be worked out In the form nf
treaties with the various nations nlong
the line of the so-culled Bryan peace
treaties now In force.
FKAH OK nMHAHOO.
Tho only suggestion which Senators
wcro criticising today was thnt referring
to munitions shipments. Carried out to
the limit suggested, It would result in nn
embnrgo on munitions shipments on
this hemisphere. Senators said that
such nctlon would placo great temptation
, in tho way of mllitnry lenders to net up
dictatorships, secure In tho knowledge
that no revolution would be decided
against them, ns munitions could not be
obtained.
It Is expected thnt at the flnnl session
of the Pan-Amcrlcnn congress on Satur
day resolutions specltlcnlly Indorsing the
suggestions of President Wilson will he
adopted and that tho vnrlous delegates
will pledge themselves to gain favorable
action on the pinna by their home Gov

NAUONAL PROHIBITION
FORCES ON AGGRESSIVE
IN PUSHING THEIR FIGHT
Representative Webb Seeks
Right of Way for His "Dry"
Resolution in the
House
EAGER FOR EARLY VOTE
WASHINGTON, .Inn. 7.-tmmedlntc. nc
tlon In the Houo on nn amendment to
the Federal Constitution for national
lu-ohlbltlon wns Bought todny by Itepre
scntntlvc Webb, of North Carolina,
nutbor of tho "ofnclnt" dry resolution.
Hcprcscnlntlve Webb conferred with
Chairman Henry, of the Utiles Commit
tee, nnd demnnded a special rule to rush
tho prohibition amendment through tho
House, but he encountered determined
opposition.
An nttempt to force the fight for pro
hibition hns been decided upon by the dry
forces. The dry resolution Introduced
by Representative Webb wns referred to
the Judlelnrv Committee, of which
Webb Is chairman. He told Representa
tive Henry todny thnt ho was prepnred
to bring the resolution out of tho com
mittee nt once, nnd thnt ho would de
mand a special rule from the Rules Com
inltteo to limit debate on the mensuro
and force a vote. The plan Is to put the
whole proposition Up to tho Rules Com
mittee. "1 am not in favor of alowlng a vote
on the nnttnnnl prohibition nmendment
at this time," snld Representative Henry,
after his talk with Webb. "It Is but n
little more thnn n year since tho House
voted down this Identical resolution. Of
course, I do not know the sentiment In
tho Rules Committee, but I bIiiiII oppose
reporting any special rule nt this time."
The nmendment proposed by Represen
tative Webb Is Identical with that by
Representative Hobsou, of Alabama, In
tho Inst Congress. The Hobson resolu
tion received u vote of 197 to 190, falling
to secure the two-thirds of the House
necessary to carry n constitutional
amendment. Thu resolution would pio
hlblt tho snle, manufacture for Hale, Im
portation for sale, transportation for sale
and cxportntlon for sale of all Intoxicat
ing liquors for bevurnge purposes In nil
territory under tho Jurisdiction of the
United States. Congress mid the States
would be chnrged with tho enforcement
of the provision.

Freeman Til den Gathers De
lightful Short Stories Into

OTHER TIMELY BOOKS
At Inst a renl sntlrlsti The publisher
who Induced Frromnn Tllden to compile
a volume of h's short stories deserves a
Vote of thanks. Of course, Freeman Tll
den Is not n new nuthor; his works have
nppenrcd In mnirnzlncs for several yenrs.
Hut It rcmnlned for "That Night nnd
Other Satires" (Hearst's International
Library Compnny, Now York), to collect
the best of these between two covers, ,
The nuthor has the real sense of satire.
There Is thnt keen Insight Into the para
doxes of humnn life which marks the
true critic, nnd there Is no trace of acid
ity to make his comments distasteful, lie
Is fnr from bclnf? n cynic. "Thnt NlRht"
Is tho Icnst sntlsfnctory ot tho 12 In the
volume. "The Defective." "The Good In
fluence," "O Perfect Love" and few
others arc beautiful commentaries that
make one laugh heartily while admitting
the truth ot the Indictments. Ono finds a
tnllrh nf O llmirv nvnrv nnw ntut then.
I but there Is so much of orlglnntlty thnt
whatever reminiscent of tho "master of
the unexpected endlnR" Is found rounds
out the completeness of tho style.
Two boolH of verse recently received
show the wldoly divergent forms poetry
may tnke. "If Lovo Were Klnc," by
Dr. IMwnrtl Wlllnri Watson, of Phllndcl
phla H. W. Fisher & Co., Philadelphia),
hns the real poctlo feeling, but dors not
attempt to state nny definite philosophy.
All the Bonnets, lyrics nnd blnnk verse are

iow the title, Ih mostly nBhcs, with n

of the collection Is tho homely, gentle,
strnlKhtforwnrd philosophy which mnkes
Itself heard despite tho form of prcsrntn
Hon. Ono cannot but feci thnt this Kcnlnl
philosophy would find a happier medium
of expression nt tho hands of tho nuthor
In prose thnn In pootry. If a comparison
will be permitted. Dr. W'ntson Is the
better writer of verse nnd Mr. Wlglitman
the bettor philosopher.
"Friendship, Love and MnrrlnRc," by

New York), Is n little book that Is
worthy tho attention of nil poisons who

ulso un unllkeness to complement this,
nnd loyalty nrc the principal requisites
