Paris cable to Chicago Tribune.
 Ia Idberte tonight, under the cap- ton seVietims of the Monroe Doctrine" prints a long, vigorous article on Sec retary of State Root and the Pan- American congress. It taunts the French press for grudgingly printing d paraeraph about Root toasting all contestants in a recent swimming match and the names of meritorious agriculturists It ironically quotes an editor who said foreign politics is not sufficientiy Parisian to interest a po- lite public, and then twits leaders of the republic on making the question

 Already distant lands have slipped into Yankees hands. At Constantine pie.
