But Marjorie only smiled, and quiet

ton, Frank Ashton, medical student,
at St. Pauls', the hospital Marjorie
proposed entering. And not TO liv-
ing soul did she explain the true rea-
son for the step she was taking.
Time went on and Marjorie strug
rled bravely against the inclination to
go home at the end of the first week
when footache and backache made life
scarcely worth living. and, finally. III
her fourth year. gained distinction in
the shape of gold medal and the
sistership of ward.
Although Frank Ashton was long
since qualified he still remained at the
hospital. ostensibly to specialize. but
in reality to watch over sunny-haired,
brown-eyed Sister Marjorie, whom he
had loved for years. Marjorie frankly
told him that she liked him. but that
was all.
Marjorie was taking a well-earned
rest in her large sitting room one day
when nurse tapped at the door.

to Develop Monroe Doctrines Power.
Chief Engineer


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July 6.-Presi-
dent James B. Angel of the UNIVERSE
ty of Michigan, addressing the Har-
ward chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa
fraternity, has discussed the Euro
pean Concert and the Monroe Doc
trine." After elaborate discussion Of
the question the speaker said:
with all its defects, present and
prospective, the European concert
seems to be carrying Europe as far as
any arrangemtn ever made towards
that great continental confederation
of which dreamers have dreamed and
poets have sung, but which has not
yet come down out of the skies to put
an end to wrangling and injustice and
war. By it's fruits it must be judged.
The European Concert.
1.-The development of the European
concert suggests the question whether
ultimately, perhaps in a future some
what remote, the larger states south
Of us and Canada, if she becomes en-
tirely independent, might join us in
some kind of friendly American con-
cert to promote general continental
interests and to prevent foreign intru-
sion.
rs it not conceivable that Mexico,
Brazil, the Argentine Republic and
Chile might reach a development that
would make this possible?
who can say that in similar man.
ner China and Japan may not make
an eastern associate concert which will
work out policies mutually beneficial
to their common interests and also
useful to mankind.
Sounds Warning.
Il know We are told that there is no
longer any danger of an attempt by
European states to come up and gain
possession of American territory. How
one who sees what has been going on
in China can hold sucn a view, it is
difficult to understand. Not in the
colonization frenzy of the sixteenth
century was there a more voracious
greed for the acquisition of foreign
territory for the purpose of develop
ing and controlling trade.
What ground is there to believe
that if we withdraw our objections
we should not see a similar scramble
for all the territory south of the United
States from the Rio Grande to Cape
Horn, and now easily would excuses
be found for conquest in such contro-
versies as have already arisen between
European powers and the Spanish
American states"
