ABANDON MONROE DOCTRINE,
OR LIVE UP TO 1T, is DEMAND
MADE BY FOREIGN NATIONS

Is the nation which has served formal
notice on the State Department that
there must be peace in Mexico and
with this goes the necessary statement
that the United States must bring about
this peace, or that Great Britain acting
cojointly with the nations represented
at Mexico City, will bring about that
peace, whether the United States par
ticipates in the act or not.
Great Britain Is on record in the
Peruvian Putumayo dispute several
months ago as admitting and pointing
out that it Is the duty of the United
States to deal with the Western Conti-
nent republics. The trouble I'm this
case, however, Is that the duty of the
united States. as 1t is understood by
Great Britain and the diplomatic corps
In Mexico City, has not been perform
ed, and neither the press in the United
states nor any foreign nation has been
informed since March 4, at what time
the United States would relieve the for
eign nations in Mexico OF the duty Of
bringing about peace there them
selves.

Great Britain that the United States
bring about peace in Mexico. sent post
haste to-day for Ambassador Wilson
from the City Of Mexico.
The administration now knows that
England Is not asking irrelevant ques-
tions about the recognition or non
recognition of Huerta, but that she Is
asking the United States to act up to

Mexico. In other words. the European
nations, led and probably egged on by
Great Britain. demand that the United
States make peace promptly In Mexico
or let other nations cut the Gordian
knot of Mexican international politics

natural resultsof the quarrel Of Great

Panama Canal tolls affair and of the
quarrel of Japan, Great Rritain's ally,

yesterday.

in their statement. include reduction
of 20 per cent in the pay of all brake
men on extra crew trains In States
where the extra crew bill is enacted
into law. The roads further ask that
all monthly guarantees TO trainmcn

double compensation be paid. The rail-
roads insist also that tho rates fixed
