ENORMOUS LOSS or
L|FESUFFEREDB ALLIES
French and British Casualties
Are Tremendous.

Paris, Aug. 31.-A trafnfoad of pris-
oners passed through Acheres, going
westward.
They included Count Vogschwerin
(von Schwerinl, nephew of the kai-
ser, who occupied a second class COM
partment. He was very slightly wound
ed. He was handcuffed to a gendarme,
as he had refused to give his word of
honor not to try to escape.
Although no official returns have
yet been made of the killed and the
wounded, such kilograms as the fol
lowing would fill two columns:
Three trainloads of wounded men
passed through Versailles. The chief
anxiety of the men was to learn how
soon they could return to the front
Learning that some of those wounded
in the first days of the war already
had returned to fight, the men on the
trains raised cheers.
-Four more trains reached Vichy,
bringing wounded,
Forty three wounded have arrived
at Chateau Gentier.
Three trains carrying wounded
passed through Nantes.
1.-TWO hundred wounded have arrived
at Aurellias and 100 at Lavel.''
So the long catalogue continues, and
each dispatch notes that the wounds
are not serious.

MARYLAND ENGINEER
TO READ PAPER.
Henry G. Shirley, Chief Engineer
State Roads Commission, to Rep
resent This State at the Fourth
American Road Congress.

Maryland will be represented at
the Fourth American Road Congress
which will be held in Atlanta, Ga,
during the week of November 8, by
Mr.. Henry G. Shirley, Chief Engi-
neer, State Roads Commission, who
will present paper on Heavy
Traffic Roads"
| The discussion of this subject, a
most important one, will be opened
by Mr.. w. A. Hansel, Supt of Pub
| lie Works, Fulton county, Ga, and
should attract the attention of all
present.
A conference of the official heads
of the various State Highway De-
partments and of the United States
Office of Public Roads, will be held
at some time during the course of
the sessions, to consider questions
of mutual interest to the Highway
Departments. A number of the
States have gone extensively into
the building of trunk line systems
through large bond issues, notably
New York, with an actual and con-
templated outlay of 100000;
California, $1S,OOO,0OO; Massachus-
etts, about $14 100000; Maryland,
actual and contemplated, about $1S,-
100000, and other States in small
er amounts. The methods follow
el and the results obtained will be
carefully analyzed. Other States,
among them Virginia, Georgia Colo
RADIO and Washington, have gone
extensively into the use of State
convicts for road work. The States
of New York and New Jersey are
now experimenting along these
lines, while many others are study
ing the problem. Convict labor
will, therefore, be another one of
the many subjects to be discussed
at the Congress. The general pro-
gram which has just been issued
cials of Highway Departments rep
resenting the States of Maine, New
Hampshire, Connecticut, New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey Maryland,
Virginia., West Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
Kentucky. Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado, Wash
ington, California, and the Federal
Government. These technically
trained specialists will deal with
all of the problems of construction,
.lptenance. and managsUslt OF
public roads. 4
This year the eNpositio will
include Government and St Ex-
hibits and several acres o. road
machinery, materials and e. ineer-
ing instruments.

THE \ DOCTRINE

In a recent address, George 3. Nc
CleIlan, former mayor Of New York
and now a professor 10 Princeton uni
versity, had the following to say re-
gardiDg the Monroe doctrine:
ono matter who wins, it is almost
certain that at some not far distant
date we shall be confronted with the
alternative of either abandoning the
Monroe doctrine or fighting to main
tain it. We have made Of it a great
national principle, a question Of ma
tional honor, so that if we abandon
it, we must eoneede that We are not
strong enough to maintain it, that we
are only a secOnd-class power at the
mercy Of all the staggering bullies Of
the earth. If we fight for it in our
present unprepared condition, there
can be but one outcome. A triumphant
and victorious Germany would have
little to fear from US, and while we
might possibly in the end be able to
check Japan by herself, we could
scarcely hope to do SO if she received
help"
1t is hard to say just what is meant
today by the Monroe doctrine, as a
different Interpretation seems to be
put on it by each succeeding national
administration. For the past decade,
at least In it's application TO Mexico,
it has been more Of a "dog-in-the-
manager" policy than anything else.
The United States refused to let any
other power intervene to maintain Or
der and declined to DO it herself.
All thinking men viii agree with
Prof. Mcclellan that the United
States win be called upon to fight in
the near future if she wishes to main
tain her present attitude in regard to
the Monroe doctrine. With the COW
etous eyes Of the European powers, as
well as Japan, eentered on Mexico
and the South American republics,
this country viii soon be called upon
to distinctly state its Interpretation
OF the Monroe doctrine. If il is held
to mean what the general public has
been taught to believe, we shall IN
doubtedly be called upon to defend
our position by force of arms.
