NOT WELL PREPARED.
United States Not in Shape to Defend
Itself, Says Rep. Greene

| Congressman Frank L. Greene OF thu
first district discussed, informally, hi'
views on the foreign policy OF the United
States in the present European imbro9
lie and gave his opinion on the prepared
ness of this country for belligerent event
ualities at smoker given in the Vim
citia club last evening under the auspices
OF the Barre Board of Trade. Nearly
200 men were present to hear the con-
gresham. Riley's orchestra played sew
eral enjoyable selections during the even
ing and DIR. f. NJ. Lynde, who gave a
humorous excerpt from Uncle Lisha was
compelled to respond with an encore The
smoker was one of the most successful
get-togethers ever held in the club. After
the speechmaking cigars were passed
around and a buffet luncheon was served.
BY virtue of the fact that he is a
yaomber of the House committee on mill
tary affairs, Congressman Greene came
before his hearers as one having author
ity to speak on things military. NJ $.
Rounds introduced the speaker. Con-
gIessman Greene prefaced his Femarks
with the declaration that the United
States has never forged foreign policy
and that the fact that she has thus far
been able to keep from dipping into Eu-
opean entanglements is due more to her
location than to any par
ticular merit of her statecraft. Briefly,
the speaker reviewed the earlier rela-
tions of the United States for the pur-
pose of showing that the most extra
ordinary good fortune, coupled with its
Ia han all lit,r,
factor in the success of what some err
term the country's foreign pol
icy.
A fund of stories usually very patent
to the point and hatful of apt catch
phrases gave the congressman's remarks
| smacking flavor and kept his hearers
Rather mercilessly he
layed the so-called spirit of patriotism
developed by certain corner Of society
n the United States. He decried the |
,rand of music hall patriotism that goes
nto paroxysm of patriotism when the |

nd then refuses to do its full duty by |
he state when called to jury duty. The /
congressman drew some very telling
nj logies in supporting his contention
hat certain overt acts OF certain ma
ions cannot in any sense of the word
an insult to the L. $. flag.
Ie commended the wisdom of the state
apartment in refusing to get hot theaded
yer the Smyrna incident of few days
asst. but when the occasion arises for
real fight, the speaker went on, the
'nited States should be in a position to
trike a smarting blow.
Deep into the future the speaker sank
II plummet as he described the condi-
ons that may follow the present war.
lille benefits will doubtless accrue TO

ose of his address, Congressman Greene

nited States to-day and referred to a
asonable kind of militarism that may
rform a protective function where the
nited States has no desire to pursue
aggressive policy.

INVASION OF CANADA
NOT A VIOLATION
OF Monroe Doctrine, Declares Ex-Presi-
dent Taft, Unless in Case of Success
an Attempt Should Be Made to
Set Up New Government.

Montclair, N. j.. Nov. 2S.-The Monroe
doctrine was strongly indorsed, its rela'
tion to the present European war dis
oussed and the declaration that interfer-
once by the United States in Mexico and
Central American states have had moth
ing to do with that doctrine, was made
by former President William ii. Taft
in an address here last night. These
are some Of the salient. features OF his
remarks:
"The landing of troops in Canada by
enemies of Great Britain would not CON
stitute a violation of the doctrine, but
an effort to establish a new form of gov
ernment in case of victory would.
"There is little likelihood of the policy
being pressed in Argentina, Brazil and
Chile. These countries are able to pro-
tect themselves and they are so remote
from the United States that violation of
the doctrine in respect to them would
not be harmful to this country's inter
este and safety.
"The doctrine has not been applied in
Mexico because there is nothing in it
which requires the United States to
bring about peace in that country"
"Watchful waiting" Mr.. Taft said,
was Vhe term applied to the United
States status, but he went on, 1--WE have
neither watched nor waited, but have in
fact host hastily interviewed and thus
find the present anarchy charged as to
the lfgical consequence of our policy"
In taking up the proposition of Great
Britafn's enemies landing troops in Cam
ada Mr.. Taft cited the stand of Secre-
tSry Seward taken when Spain declared
war on Chile. He announced this coun-
try would not interfere as long as one
did not seek to intiict its gov
ernment on the conquered people nor
compel permanent transfer of their |
territory, nor resort to any other unjust
" oppressive measures.
Canada is already furnishing substan-
tial military aid to Great Britain and
the allies. On what theory, therefore,
could we justly object to Germany's tax
ing counter-measures and carrying the
,'ar into a country which is waging war
lpon her? All that the Monroe doctrine
would consistently require of us would
be to insist that when the war is over, if
iermany were successful, she could not
AXE over the territory of Canada and
overthrow her government and establish
Yer own there.
Were we to abandon the doctrine"
le continued, "and thus in effect notify ,
he European governments that so far
5 our remonstrance or interposition was :
they might take possession OF !
,dnto Domingo or Haiti or of any Of |
he Central American republics or Of {
ny South American republics that
night be disturbed by revolution and }
hat might give them some international r
ycrse for Intervention, it would be but $
very short time before We would be u
prced into controversies that would be "
lueh more dangerous to the peace of (
his hemisphere than our continued as h
'rtion of the doctrine properly under $
TODD and limited"

Panama, Nov. 2s-The American
steamship st, Helena, Captain 0dland

suit that the British cruiser fired two
shots across the stern of the American

An officer from the cruiser boarded the

cargo and then the vessel was permitted
to proceed on her voyage after a delay
OF three hours.

PET ANTS WILL BE "ExECUTgD."
Judged Bad for Farms, and They
Will BE Put to Death.

New York, March 26.-Mrs. Chas
w. Morse is to have no better luck
bringing her colony of 10000, 1000
pet red ants into this country than
had Secretary of State Bryan, to
whom the Museo Social[de Argentina
presented llama.
The Department of Agriculture de-
ported Mr.. Bryan's wOolly ruminant
because it had hOof and mouth dis
ease, and the Bureau of Entomology
OF the same department has ordered
Mrs. MorsC's ants "deStroyed" or de-
ported, one and all. on the decision
that they are pestiferous insects,
damaging meadows, lawns and in
some instances field crops.
Mark p. Andrews, solicitor to the
collector. and his assistant, Edward
Barnes, have the ants locked up in
the safe of the law department of
the custom house. but as a form Of
courtesy Acting Collector Stuart has
written Mrs. Morse letter asking
consent to the delivery of the nest of
amber Colored meadow ants of for
mica Java" to the chief ~ the ento-
mological bureau at Washington for
execution.

um, arranged by the great English
scientist, who is now Lord Avebury

The sharpS decided yesterday that
the tiny meadow ants really came
under the prohibition of the act Of
Congress passed March 3, 1905,
which forbids the importation or in
tcrStatc transmission OF insect pests
and the use Of the United States
mails for the purpose.
The pestiferous creatures in Sir
Johns frame include one apterous
queen. with attendants, 100000
workers, several millions of eggs. as
many more COcOOnS. a herd of Seve-
raj million COWS" which are bred

workers, and also a few million

years and the workers seven years.
but sometimes they live respectively
to the ripe old ages of twenty-five
and twelve years.

THE SCHOOL AT CROSS ROADS.
Prof. w. X. Tate Delivered Splendid
Lecture March 18th.
(Too late for last week. }

Cross Roads, March 23.-Special:
On last Wednesday afternoon Prof.
w. K. Tate, State Supervisor OF Ru-
raj Schools, delivered an address to
| our school. Prof. Tate is thor
J oughly practical man, and his lecture
was highly instructive as we'll as
practical. All present - children
teachers and patrons-were given
valuable advice. He urged the pa-
irons to add a third room to our
building, thus making our school a
three-teacher school. This, as we
all know, is greatly needed, and the
patrons hope to be able to do this
before the summer term begins.
Owing to the disagreeable wind
and the busy season Of the year. the
crowd was not as large as we had
hoped for. We wish that every pa
tron Of the school could have heard
Prof. Ttate's talk, as those who were
greatly pleased with him.
We were glad to have the teachers
and some Of the pupils Of Earlc's
Grove school with us for the lecture.
We were also glad to have with us
County superintendent Of Education
Thos. A. Smith, and Miss Annie Nc
Mahan, County Supervisor of Rural
Schools. both of whom were highly
pleased with the way in which the
school is progressing.
Miss Hannah Harrison, the assist
ant teacher, attended the State
Teachers Association in Spartanburg
last week. During her absence her
work was carried on by Miss Ruby
Reeves, of the 10th grade, under the
supervision Of the principal, Jas. W.
Harrison.
