Australian Paper Says Mon

Shares His View.
MONTREAL STAR ANGRY
Says Doctrine Absolutely Selfish and
that They Always Admitted 1t
Would Not rlptect Them.

Melbourne. Australia, Dec. 1.-The Mel
bourne Age, referring to the views of
William Howard Taft. formerly Presi-
dent OF the United States, concerning
the Monroe Doctrine, expressed recently
at Montclair, n. J., and particularly his
statement that the United States would
not be compelled by the terms of the
doctrine to intervene IL Canada should
be attacked by Germany, has this to
say:
IF this Interpretation represents the
views OF the government Of the United
States an event Of f=st-rate Importance
to the entire civilized world has taken
place.
IF the Wilson government shares Mr..
Taft's opinion II is very clear that Mon
roeism is thing Of the past and that the
United States has abdicated the position
she has been jealousy guarding for a
period extending upward of eighty
years"

The new plan is not devised to save
money, 1t is explained, but simply to di-
vert money from eXtravagant Christmas
giving to the work of charity and relief
OF the needy, both in this nation and in
Europe.

by the Ministerial Association OF Battle
Creek for use on a general mailing card

Canadian Press stirred.

Montreal. Quebec. Dec THAT Canada
sees no aid to her from the Monroe doc
trine appears to be the general opinion
voiced by tine Canadian press today in
connection with editorial comments upon
Prof. Taft's recent exposition upon the
Monroe doctrine and its enforcement.
In an editorial under the heading OF
"Our Local COwards and the Monroe doc
trine" the Montreal Star says, in part:
''As for our part, We have always in
sisted that the Monroe doctrine would
not protect us. We have always taken
precisely the ground that Prof Taft took
at MontClair. We have gone further
and held that il would be a piece Of i'm
pertinence for the American nation-no
matter how friendly II might be-to in
corporate in its public policy a doctrine
which is bound 10 take little Canada
prOteCtingIy and patrOnizingly under its
wing without asking any return on the
part Of Canada
The thing for Canadians to get firmly
fixed in their minds is that the Monroe
doctrine is an American doctrine. abso-
lutely selfish and purely patriotic in the
American sense"
The Montreal Herald says under the
heading. Mr.. Taft Too Light-hearted:"
"Mr. Taft only repeated the accepted
academic definition OF the Monroe doc
trine when he said that there was moth
ing in that doctrine to suggest that the
United States would for one moment in
tervene TO prevent Germany from exact
ing an indemnity from Canada. II she
were the victor"

DEATH WAS UNEXPECTED

Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan,
united states Navy, retired, probably
the worlds greatest authority on sea
power died at the Naval Hospital here
yesterday, seventy-four years old. The
cause OF death was declared to be heart
trouble.
Admiral Mahans death came as a
great surprise to his friends and to the
Navy Department, where he was a Wis
itor less than two weeks ago. He then
told Secretary Daniels he was not feel
ing quite as strong as usual, but neither
he nor members OF his family were then
apprehensive about his condition. He en-
tered the Naval Hospital here for treat
ment a week ago
In accordance with the wishes Of Ad-
mlral Mahan his funeral services will be
private and without military honors
They will be held at o'clock tonight
at st. Johns Church. at the conclusion
OF which the body will. be taken to his
home at Quogue. Long Island, " Y.
His wife was with him during his ILL.,
ness.
Silenced by President,
Admiral Mahan came TO Washington
this fall and established his residence
here for the winter. He had undertaken
some specia: work for the Carnegie In
here he displayed a close knowledge OF
the events OF the war in Europe
which surprised even those who knew
his expertness. 1t Is known that but for
the Presidents order prohibiting public
commentaries on the events of the war
Admiral Mahan would have been produc-
ing many valuable articles during the
last four months.
Secretary OF the Navy Daniels ex-
pressed the deepest regret at the news
OF the death Of Admiral Aahan Late
yesterday he called upon the widow at
the Mahan home here. The Secretary
was particularly shocked to learn of Ad-
miral Manhan's death. as the admiral
called upon him when he visited the Navy
Department recently and the two had a
long conversation. Mr. Daniels yesterday
sent TO Mrs. Mahan a letter OF con-
dolence and appreciation
