ROOSEVELT IN TROUBLE
WITH A CHILEAN

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 22,-
Commenting on cablegrams telling OF
alterations between Roosevelt and
DR.. Marcial MARITIME, a Chilean, over
the Monroe doctrine, Senator Williams
today said:
"If Roosevelt only understood the
Monroe doctrine, or would stop trying
to twist it into policy making Amer
lea globetrotting and overlooking pro-
tector and regulator of other Ameri-
can countries, this trouble would have
been avoided in Chile. OF course this
government is not worrying about
what Roosevelt does. Isn't our ac-
credited representative or anything
he says merely private citizens
views? Big South American coun-
tries don't quarrel with the Monroe
doctrine but quarrel with Roosevelts
reconstruction of it."

president WILSON SIGNS
THE CURRENCY BILL

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 23.-
The White house announced that
President Wilson will sign the cur
rency bill at 6 o'clock tonight in the
presence of house and senate leaders.
The house passed the conference
measure last night 29S to so. The
senate met at 10 o'clock this morning
and agreed to vote at 2:30 this af-
ternoon. The only senate Democrat
ic opposition to the measure resulted
from the fact that the conferees elm
mated from the measure the provls-
ion for guarantee bank deposits.
House leaders promised to submit
a separate bill later, embodying this
provision. The engrossed bill is
scheduled to reach the White house
at A o'clock this afternoon.
Congress will adjourn to January
IL as soon as the bill is passed.
The senate passed the conference
currency bill 43 to 25 after four hours
of debating.

Still another apartment could have

a district where the average stranger
in Rome does not like TO go unless
well armed. As the United States at

Page felt that it would hardly be just
to his limited force were he to move
into this quarter. According to Am
bassador Page, while the problem OF

whatever about ex-ambassadors. Ht
