Elizabeth Kennedy is the young
actress who will be seen in the part
of Madame Trentoni in Capt. links
of the Horse Marines during the
performance here Thursday, March
II. Miss Kennedy is beautiful and
gifted coincidence, whose southern
ancestry is betrayed in her imperial
looks and graceful manners. Most of
her dramatic triumphs have been
achieved on foreign sthges, in Eng
land and Australia, and when she APP
pears as Madame Trentoni in the play,

confronting Miss Kennedy in real life.

GERMAN DANCES ON
THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Prof. Wagner SoIemnIy Declares
There Is Nothing in IL.

BERLIN, March 3-The Monroe
doctrine is an empty pretension, behind
which is neither energetic will nor ac-
tual power" Thus Prof. Adolph Wag-
ner, the celebrated political economist
of Berlin university, begins his reply
TO two questions submitted him
whether the Monroe doctrine was in
a moral sense as binding as interna-
tiOnal law, and what action seems die
tated first in the interest of the Ger
man people and then In the interest
of the European nations.
Scarcely could such a doctrine be
forced upon a conquered people after
extraordinary Victories continues the
professor. mo people and no great
ruler ever proclaimed such a doctrine.
Neither England nor Russia, nor Ma
pOleon at the height of his power ever
made a similar pretension. But not
even the United States predominant
interests are behind this unheard of
assumption. South America is neither
geographically nor historically so al
lied with North America and the Unit
ed States as to justify such a preten-
sion, even from a North American
standpoint"
Answering the second question, Prof
Wagner says:
1t is only the divisions of European
policies and lack OF insight and rec
OgnitiOn of the solidarity of the inter-
ests of middle, Western and Southern
Europe, which hitherto has been and
will remain the chief seats of human
civilization, that explains why Europe
why Germany even, takes this empty
pretension into consideration, for
every European country'S practical,
political course naturally depends sole
ly upon its interests and accordingly
upon considerations OF strength.
Therefore any binding engagement in
4
doctrine of union appears to be
wrong policy.
From the standpoint, too. of the
wider Germanic races simple recog-
milton of the Monroe doctrine would be
false step even if it were settling the
world question whether the Germanic
or Romantic element should dominate
the world. AS member of the Ger
manic race | do not want to see the
Romanic element pressed to the wall,
because it is indispensable to the
worlds civilization and is a necessary
complement to Germanic culture. No
objective member of the Germanic race
can wish to see the world exclusively
GermaniC. but if we once concede the
United States predominance in South
America. according to the Monroe pre-
tensions. would German interests be
promoted thereby? Would not we
Germans be completely pressed to the
wall by the English element on both
sides of the sea?
1--WE really have no interest in fur
thering the preponderance of the Unit
ed States or England, or both. The
worlds civilization would hardly be
advanced thereby. Aside from some
technical and business spheres, what
has the United States done of impor-
tance for the real civilization of the
world? What has it done that has de-
-a1 n ha 1aI tn t1oO ~
with the achievements Of Italy and
France? Middle, Western and Southern
Europeans, hold yourselves together
against the East as we'll as the far
West. That seems to me to be the
only right answer to the Monroe pre-

VERDICT AGAINST LADY COOK.
Tennessee" CIafin Makes a Scene in
.-.at. London Court.

~ LONDON, March 81. H. Wallace,
formerly secretary of the late Sir
Francis Cook, today obtained a verdict
for $3,250 damages for libel against
Lady Cook, better known as Tennes-
see Claf1in, of New York. The latter
was charged with accusing Wallace of
conspiracy to circulate rumors that Sir
Francis died an unnatural death, with
the object of Matchmaking her.
On hearing the verdict, Lady Cook
sprang from her seat, and, waving a
bundle of papers, shouted:
Lord AlVerStone, I am an American,
and l want you to listen to me. This
has cost me thousands of pounds. and
L have trusted myself In the hands of
an English judge and an English jury
| have witnesses from America l can
bring hundreds of witnesses. / want
to go In the witness box myself
Chief Justice Alverstone tried to
stem the torrent of protest and asked
Lady Cook to leave the court, but she
continued to protest in loud tones until
the lord chief justice directed the
ushers to remove her. When an usher
laid his hand on her arm, Lady Cook
shouted:
ooh, don't pull me out. 1 Will walk
out. ought not to have trusted; but
L am weak woman. L have done
more for England and America than
anyone else"
The last words heard as Lady Cook
disappeared from the court were:
My reputation is ruined"

Two Rockefeller Homes.

There are several reasons why the
house of John D. Rockefeller is point
ed out to visitors. The pile at No. 4
West Ffftyfourth street is one of the
few houses in New York not obstruct-
ed on any side. The Rockefeller man
sion Is flanked by lawns that repre-
sent the most desirable residence prop
erty off Fifth avenue. and the oil king
refuses to part with this means of air
and light Recent fires in the resi-
dence district have caused a change in
this house. From nearly every window
fire escapes hang, marring the appear
ance of the structure. - The, interior
Of the Rockefeller dwelling resembles
the alleged characteristics of the mas
ter. 1t Is dismal and unfriendly
sight. Despite the. actual advantages
of light, the shades usually are drawn
tight and only an occasional electric
bulb flickers in the high-ceiled rooms.
But there Is an old fashioned grandeur
that is desirable. Through the, stained
glass windows the grand stairway is
flooded with color when daylight sits
through. There are some good tapes
tries hanging in the hall, but the color
ing Is dark and the same subdued spirit
prevails everywhere. The house of
young Rockefeller. across the, street,
is the reverse, and the artistic taste of
his wife. formerly Miss Aldrich, is
shown everywhere. The style of the
junior Rockefeller house is Louis XVI.

ORA

hands may be free to control futtering
draperies.
The new skirt has just been invented
by Miss White, a New York woman.
and president Of the Dressmakers'
Protective association. In order to get
an idea for her model, Miss White
considered the lilies" But it was
not the fact that these blossoms neith-
er toiled nor spun that provoked the
dressmakers admiration. Rather, it
was the sheath-like effect Of the petals
with their final flare that absorbed
her attention. Although Miss Lily was
swayed by every breeze that blew,
never a petal was disturbed.
The flower gave Miss White her
idea. She purchased some cloth and
cut out a skirt exactly the shape of the
lily. Underneath, just below the knees,
she inserted a band of haircloth seven
inches wide. Then. selecting a windy
day. she put the skirt on and sailed
forth. The new garment verified her
most sanguine expectations, for the
haircloth served as an anchor to wind
ward and the rude breeze hardly STIR
red the draperies.
Now, thanks to Miss White the Eas-
ter girl will be able to face the brisk
est gale serene in the consciousness
that she is presenting a most seemly
appearance.
