PLANS CHALLENGE
TO MONROE DOCTRINE
BY MALCOLM CLARKE.

N ERLIN. Germany, Nov. SIS there
X anything behind Col. RooseveIts
swing around the South American
circle? Germany would like very
much to konw and she is taking every
possible means to. find out. Every
German diplomatic representative in
the countries through which the Amer
lean expresident has Travelled has been
under instructions to report fully
to Berlin of the details of the visit;
what has been said and done, the effect
of Col Roosevelts presence and par
ticularly if there has been any signs
OF conference between the famous
American traveller and the local powers.
VIII Challenge Monroe Doctrine.
The feeling is strong here that when
the time comes, Germany intends TO
challenge the Monroe document. To the
German official mind the assupmuon
of quasi prOtectOrate BY the big North
American republic. over all OF South
America is an impairment piece OF pre-
sumption which is to be tolerated only
until Germany feels that the time has
come for her to challenge it
1t has long been felt that Brazil
particularly offers an ideal field for
the building up Of great German
transatlantic empire which would Ill
timately dominate the entire continent
from the CarTlDeau 10 cape 1OIu
Already there is a powerful colony IN
Brazil. Some sections of the big South
American republic are almost all
German and they are growing steadily.
There Is a tendency to divert as much
as possible the best class of emigrants
towards Brazil and other sections OF
South America
seeks south American Trade.
Germany has paid particular atten-
tion to the South American trade and
lead and ultimately will become dom
inant. These strong German influences
will afford the pretext for challenging
the Monroe doctrine when the time
comes. These are the facts which
cause the interest in Col. ROOsevelt's
present trip. Much Of the Latin-Amer-
lean distrust of the Anglo-American
has been fOstered by German influen-
ces- It is believed here that the prime
object of the Roosevelt trip is to allay
this distrust and it is recognized that
there are few Americans who can so
well do this as Mr. Roosevelt

Aston To WE'D
CHILDHOOD
PLAYMATE
Engagement of Miss Helen
Huntington to Millionaire
Is Confirmed.
GIRL OF HIS CHOICE
WITHOUT A SILLY FAD

EW YORK, Nov. S.-Vincent As
tor and Miss Helen Dinsmore
Huntington, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert P. Huntington, will be mar
ried in the spring. The engagement
was confirmed by Mrs. Huntington
today.
The announcement Of the engage
ment came as a surprise to most per-
sons in society because of the old be-
lief that among the wealthy pIaymates
of childhood seldom are the sweethearts
of later years. This is not the case of
Miss Huntington and Mr.. Aston.
Childhood Sweethearts.
Hopeland House, the home Of the
HuntingtOn's at Staatsburg, adjoins
the Fern estate Of the Astors at Rhine
back As children Miss Huntington,
who is two years younger than Mr..
AStor, and young Vincent were much
together. There were children's parties
and many children's games. His pref
erence for the little Miss Helen was
shown then.
While society has been specializing
a great deal as to the possible choice
of the young man, Miss Huntington
was considered just as a young woman
who had grown up along side of him
since childhood and one Of whom he
thought great deal, merely as
friend.
Does Best to Win Love.
Those, however, who had paid close
attention to the couple when they were
motoring with Mrs Huntington CT
when, out at some function, came to
the conclusion Ions ago that Mr.. Aston
was doing his best to win the hand OF
his playmate OF other years
They recall that he was the first at
her side at any time he appeared where
she was, and did not seem particularly
well pleased when she was accompanied
by some one else.
Miss Huntington is the granddaught-
er of William B. Dinsmore, a multi
millionaire. She preferred out dOos
sports to formal social functions, al
though she has not neglected to take
her place among the 400. She made her
the bridesmaids at the Steele NIilbu-n
wedding recently, and her beauty was
spoken of then by all who saw her.
Girl Without a Silly Fad.
Among her friends Miss Huntington
is spoken Of as a paragon of common
sense without a silly fad. She is blue
eyed. tall, slender and brown haired
She is an enthusiastic horse woman.
She likes motoring and is frequently
to be seen with her mother ami Mr.
Aston Much Of her other time mas
ben spent in the tennis courts OF IN
swimming, during the season She has
neglected no particular sport that she
thought she ought to take up for
health or pleasure. but her favCrits
recreation has been riding.
New Leader for Newport
Mr. -AstOr recently came into $65,000,-
900 in his own right and society ex-
poets the young woman to take her
proper place as the leader Of the ex-
