MRS.QH.P. PIEDMONT
SOUNDS A WARNING
Upholds Monroe Doctrine and Says
Public is Becoming Too Indif-
ferent- Scores British Treaty.

Newport, July 14.-Mrs. o. II. p Bel
mont now appears as a champion Of
the Monroe doctrine. She thinks the
American public is too Indifferent, and
expresses her views in a signed state
ment issued to-day. MRS. Belmont
says:
THE indifference of the public gem
orally to the movement now making
to challenge the Monroe doctrine is
most appalling. Take the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty substituted for the dis
graceful Clayton-Bulwer treaty in a
weak. yielding moment. I have re-
.ferred to editorial discussions of this
treaty, and find a constant reiteration
Of one article. and from this is deduced
the idea that we must treat not only
all the vessels of the world alike. but
that we, the master and maker of the
regulations, must treat our own ves-
sells of war and commerce just as we
treat all others. However we shall. of
course, have enough self-respect left
to pass the very proper law now under
discussion, but the danger point Is then
reached. Thinking men and women
know the time Is rapidly approaching
when there will be a challenge of the
Monroe doctrine.
This is what is aimed at in the COM
munications from Great Britain. One
of our great political parties de-
nounced the treaty in its platform a
few years ago. Its members now run
from this, because of the fact that
Great Britain thinks that II we make
laws clearly within our rights 1t may
niure her in some quarters"

DELAY IN SENATE
TIES UP ARMY
Prospect of Fight Over Nominations
for Promotion Prevents An
nouncements.

Delay by the Senate in acting upon the
nominations of several high army officers
who have been picked for promotion is
holding up the announcement OF the as
signments of not only these officers. but
others affected by the shift which the
promotions will bring. This postpone.
ment of assignments may be considera-
bly, protra cted, as several Senators are
reported as determined TO fight at least
one of the nominations, that of Brig
Gen. W. w. Wotherspoon. to be a major
general
Provided the Senate confirms the pro-
motions, II is expected that Brig. Gen
Tasker H. Bliss will be formally named
to be the commander at West Point
He is slated at the War Department. II
the promotions go through to succeed
Mai. Gen. Thomas H. Barry at the Mill
tary Academy. Gen. Bliss Is now COM
manding the Department of the East.
Gen Barry is to be moved, according to
present plan. to New York, where, he
will be given command of the Eastern
division, succeeding Maj. Gen. Frederick
d. Grant, who died recently.
II Gen. Wotherspoon. about whom the
fight in the Senate promises to center. is
finally confirmed. he will be given the
position Of assistant to the Chief of Staff.
Mai Gen. Carter now holds that Office,
and he will be moved to Chicago to COM
mand the Central division. a post he
has long been expecting. Brig. Gen.
Clarence R. Edwards, now in Washing
ton, is also slated for a command of one
of the departments should the Senate
act favorably upon the promotion be-
fore it
The opposition to Gen. Wotherspoon is
expected to come from Senator Bristow

STARTS NEXT WEEK ON TRIP

Oyster Bay. N T., July h-when Col
paign next week. he will be ready with
a broadside to hurl into the Taft camp
The former President is going to saw
agely attack the Taft leaders for grab
bing the nomination with, as he will
charge, the use of stolen delegates. He
intends to put the issue directly up to
President Taft.
In Iowa and Kansas, so Roosevelt has
been informed. hostile sentiment against
the Taft leaders exists because of the
steam roller tricks. As far as Kansas
is concerned. Roosevelt is doing no real
worrying, for Gov. Stubbs, who controls
the party machine, is with the colonel
and promises to have a progressive, yet
regular, ticket all the way down.
Iowa Is a more difficult ground. but
Roosevelt's managers assure him that
the progressive sentiment is with him.
All he needs to do to carry the pri-
maries, theyt say. Is to make a sizzling
fight.
Roosevelt has abandoned his plan to
enter Michigan before the State conven-
tion next Saturday. After he leaves Iowa
and Kansas he will probably go into
North Carolina.
The Wisconsin lineup was considered
in conference between the colonel and
Harry Cochems, former La Toilette lead

PENNSY. PROGRESSIVES
DECRY RO0SEvELT'S
DETERMINATION TO RUN

Pittsburg, July 1.-THE Progressive
party OF Pennsylvania was organized
here to-day by the men who. several
months ago, pre-empted the title Pro-
gressive. The meeting was held in the
headquarters OF the keystone party and
announcements was made tnat the pro-
gressives intended rusing with the Key
stoners On most OF the State, Congress
s'onaI and legislative tickets. WOODROW
Wilson's candidacy was indorsed and the
party is pledged to support the head or
the Democratic ticket.
Clarence v. Tiers. who was selected
State chairman, said that in many dIs-
tricts the ProgressNes. Keystoners, and
Democrats would fuse on one set OF can
didates.
The Roosevelt candidacy was discussed
and a resolution was adopted deprecating
the colonePs etermination to enter the
contest.
1T is not that We love Teddy less, but
Pennsylvania more said Mr.. Tiers, IN
an address. Roosevelt has clasped
hands with William Finn and acquiesced
in Films plan to head the Roosevelt
movement in this State. We are opposed
to any movement with which Finn Is as
sociated."

the Kaiser's own words for II, that he
will never permit his little girl to
marry for reasons of state or con-
venience. But II must not be forgotten
that the Hohenzollerns in comparison
with other reIgning houses. are very
poor. though very numerous family.
The princess is not only a good
architect. but also a very clever artist
in oil. and as her wealth permits her
to crafty her taste. IT Is not surprls-
ing that she is reputed to be the best
dressed princess OF the German court:
also OF being extravagant. II is known
that once the Kaiser, her father-in-
law, expostulated with her. saying that
Princes as well as peasants should
provide for a rainy season."
But II Prince Eitel Fritz had his "af-
faire du ceeur' before his marriage,
his wife also had her pre-nuptial ro-
nance. She was greatly smitten with
her fathers aid-ue-camp, Baron Won
Plettenberg. But she was the daugh-
ter OF a reigning grand duke and of
one of the oldest sovereign houses in
all Germany, while he was poor, and,
of course, OF inferior rank. He was
sent off to Boston with ample means,
and has resided in Boston ever since,
engaged in mercantile pursuits.
In his early youth Prince Eitel FRITZ,
his mothers best beloved. was rather
adventuresome and ambitious. and had
to pay for his extravagances with nu-
merous accidents. This earned for
him the sobriquet. the unlucky
prince" He was frequently thrown
from his horse. he nearly was drowned
while yachting. was crushed in an au-
tomobile accident. was in jeopardy
from fire in his rooms at the barracks,
and once ran over a man in his motor
car. But as to his marriage, every one
is agreed that he was exceedingly
lucky there. Though his mothers

,, cused him of being what Mr.. Roose-
welt would call a ''mollycoddle."
He is In love with his profession as
a soldier, fond of vigorous exercise,
especially in field service and in COM
pany of his fellow-officers. But the or
dinary sports, which so much appeal
to his elder brother the crown prince
have no attractions for him. He is
very fond of travel. especially in for
eign lands. He often indulges in this
pleasure. but under the incognito of a
