The Secretary of the Interior sent TO
Congress yesterday communication which
he had received from the commissioner of
Indian affairs, recommending that the In
dian appropriation bill be so amended that
army officers detailed to act as Indian
agents shall receive one-half the amount
of salary which would be paid to a civilian
agent at the same place. This would be
some inducement for an army officer to
leave his military pest for the more ardu-
Gus duties of an Indian agent.

Causes That Led to the .Utterance-The

On Dec. 2, 1928, President Monroe
transmitted to congress a message in
which he set forth what he considered
the proper attitude of the government
of the United States toward the young
republics of South America and the ma
tons of Europe to which the people of
those republics had formerly been SUBJ
ject The passages referred to were gen.
orally approved by the voters of the
United States both because the senti-
ments embodied seemed sound and be-
cause they were uttered during the SO
called era of good feeling, when there
was but one political party, previous
issues of contention having died out
and no new ones having arisen.
So thorough was the Endorsement of
Mr. Monroe's Inference that it shortly
came to be termed 'the Monroe doc
trine. and as such has received the in
dorsement of nearly every one ever
since. Just now a great deal is being
said in the newspapers about this doc
trine, the chief occasion being the sus-
picion that England is about to do some
thing in Nicaragua and Venezuela that
will conflict Herewith.

1t seems that the scientist WILSON, when

product which when placed In water
would spontaneously generate an illumi-

gas showed that 1t could be generated very
cheaply, and that 1t would successfully
compete In quality and price with coal and
water gas and perhaps with electricity.
