The Monroe Doctrine.

An utterance OF the Hon Elihu Root in
his Grant Birthday speech in New York
last night is certain to attract the widest
attention both in this country and in Eu-
rope. Mr.. Root said:
''No intelligent man can read the signs Of the
times today and realize that the hour is com
ing and coming before many years when We, the
American people. viii be forced either TO abSn-
don the Monroe Doctrine OF else fight for it,
And unless greater wisdom and diligence In
legislation is displayed in the future than has
prevailed in the past that time is likely to arrive
and md Us in a state Of unpreparedness.

the Monroe DoctTineG Never. We may have TO
light for it, but We can never abandon it. Should
we not give then for hour of Ulysses ).

The surprising thing about this declara-
tion is that it is directly in conflict with
the views of the Administration as the
same are indicated by its policy and ac-
tions. While Mr.. Root would go 20 war
rather than sacrifice the Monroe Doctrine.

War cannot believe that the Hay -Paunce-

fighting over something which that sam
pie OF British diplomacy would settle for

this question? Why does the War De-
