MONROE DOCTRINE CALLED BLUFF.
w. Morgan Shuster Speaks Right Out in
His Disgust.

Boston, Dec. A American doc
trine" to displace the Monroe doctrine
as an expression of the United States
policy towards the nations of the Amer
lean continent was advocated before the
Economic club last night by Prof George
III. Blakeslee of Clark university. He
said the present doctrine should be
strengthened by putting it on PAN
American basis and associating in its
enforcement the states of the American
continent which have strong stable gov
ernments, such as Argentine, Chile and
Brazil.
Professor Hiram Bingham of Yale
agreed in this suggestion, and added that
the name Monroe doctrine should be
dropped, even though the essential part
of the policy was retained.
While in favor of the Monroe doctrine.
Professor Albert Bushnell Hart of Har-
ward said "the plan to consult with the
stable government of South America is
one that has behind it common sense,
justice and presumable success"
w. Morgan Shuster, former treasurer
general of Persia, argued that if one
South American nation needed the pro-
lection plan all needed it, and that If
such policy were put into effect the
United States would be called upon to
furnish battleships and funds to back it
up, while the other nations would fur
nish only counsel and advice. "The Mon
roe doctrine is neither right nor prae-
tical," he said, "was originally a bluff
and still a bluff"

meeting of the board of aldermen was
held last evening for the purpose of con

cination cases, the suit against the Leary
case and the repairs done in the city hall
are mainly responsible for the deficit,
the largest amount, $4,000, is due Peter
Shreeran for cement sidewalks and the
remainder is due the Standard Oil COM

OCCUPYING CHIHUAHUA.
Gen. Villa Takes Army from Juarez and
Boasts of Further Conquests

Juarez, Dec A new era began in
northern Mexico yesterday. 1t marked
the peaceful occupation by the rebels OF
the territory abandoned by Huerta's
federal troops.
With 1000 rebels, Gen. Francisco Villa,
en- route from Juarez to the evacuated
city of chihuahua, passed through
Ahmada, S5 miles south of the border,
and camped at MonteZuma, 80 miles fur
ther south Five thousand more rebels
will join him on the way and with "a
combined force of 1000 men he will en-
ter the state capital, there to establish
what will be the temporary military
headquarters of the constitutionalist
party.
The departure of the rebel force from
Juarez with their equipment was made
on four trains, a garrison of LOO sol
diers having been left behind to guard
the border town. As far as Ahumada,
Villa has restored the telegraph. The
railroad runs to Montezuma, where it is
interrupted by burned bridges. 1t is to
be reconstructed within a few days.
Whether General Carranza, the reeog
nized head of the revolution, also will
go to Chihuahua, seemed to be in doubt
although Villa said he expected Carran-
za's forces to cross from Sonora to con-
centrate the men for operations further
south.
When the rebels enter Chihuahua, with
the tattered Mexican flags which they
are carrying as symbolical of their de-
mands for a restoration of constitutional
government, they will have Zacatecas as
the nearest federal stronghold on the
south Ii is toward that city that Villa
insists he will march.
The fight of Gen. Salvador Mercado,
the federal governor and commander-in-
chief, with all his officers and troops aft
er sending a peace commission to Villa,
whose answer he did not wait to receive,
makes possible the rebel occupation of
the city without fight.
Monterey and the few remaining fed
eral strongholds in Neuve Leon and
other strongholds in Neuvo Leon and
other northern states, Villa said, would
be left to local bands of rebels. He in
tends to direct his main army toward
Mexico City.
81 will have 10000 men surrounding
Mexico City about Christmas time"
Villa said. sour numbers will increase
as we march southwark and by the time
we reach the capital the people in the
city will be ready to join us"
A message received from chihuahua by
a courier said the city was quiet and the
residents, including the Americans, were
much relieved by the exodus of the fed
erals. IL was stated Mercado had been
bankrupt for weeks, and that the sol
diers had been without pay for SO long
they threatened looting and mutiny.

but inasmuch as they are divided III
small groups throughout the immense
food territory, no serious relief prob
lens are presented.

and a man named Manley met the same
fate near Dallas late yesterday. Man
ley lost his life while attempting to
rescue marooned victims at the village
of Grand Prairie.
Waco, on the Brazos river and in the
center of the flooded area, reported the
most serious situation yesterday. The
military companies stationed there have
been ordered on duty by Governor Col
quit and ball cartridges have been is
sued to the gaurdsmen for use in event
of looting: Train service out of Waco
was demoralized by washouts.
In the Leon river bottoms, near Tenn
pie, number of men, women and chill
dren still were marooned late yester-
day after spending "a hours in the
trees. Near Dallas this afternoon boat

Marlin, the training site of several
major league baseball teams, is practical
ly surrounded by water and the town of
Hetty is inundated.
In Waco and other large towns in
