Suggests Forming Alliance,
= Offensive and Defensive,
of All American Republics

offensive and defensive alliance be-
tween the United States and all the
American republics, through a pam
American alliance, forming an impreg-
nable defensive solidarity of the west
ern hemisphere. was advocated by Win
field Jones, founder and secretary of the
National Defense League.
The shortcomings of the Monroe doc
trtne were discussed by Mr. Jones, who
said:
While the Monroe doctrine forbids any
European power from acquiring terri
tory in the western hemisphere, 1t does
not go far enough, i'm that 1t does not
provide for naval and military assistance
from any or all of the pan-American
republics in event the United States
or a number Of South or Central Ameri-
can countries from European or Asiatic
aggression.
'If the United States should be forced
in the future to maintain the Monroe
doctrine it would be equitable that all
pan-Amertcan countries engage to as
sist the United States with their full
naval and military power. The interest
of one Is the interest of all in maintain
ing the political integrity Of a single one
of these republics.
Increases Defensive Forces.
IAN offensive and defensive alliance
of all the pan-American republics with
the United States and between them
selves would enormously increase the
defensive forces of the countries of the
western hemisphere.
1.-THE combined naval and military pow
er of the countries of the western hem
isphere is strong enough to win in a
war against any possible coalition Of the
other powers of the world
1--WE have no friends in Europe or
Asia Our logical friends are our neigh
bors in pan-America, who have, as we
have, a vital interest in maintaining the
republican institutions and the freedom
of the western world"

lowing for the inefficients It may be
said that the present National Guard
of the United States is approximately
100000 in number, three-fourths OF
them not able to perform effective war
service.
Gen. Lake concluded his address with
an attack on Brig. Gen. Albert L. Mills,
Maj. Charles A. Hedekin, whom ne
blamed for the reorganization of the
National Guard into twelve militia d.
visions, and which he said was dis

Secretary Breckinridge.

forced to proceed in the front of the

After summarizing the work done by

ing adequate defenses for our great ex-
panse of territory. To neglect ones
present time when more than half the
world is out of joint heroism without
the proper means to enforce our just
rights is impotent. It is all very well
for US to indulge in self-deception con-
corning our national needs. but his
tory has proved that it Is neither wise
nor judfcious to do So"
Senator Ashurst said that when the
country adopts measures for national
defense it does not offend any nation.

defenses could be carried out was that

Panama Minister'S Address.
Affront to the Monroe doctrine. the
liability of the United States being
forced into war and the vital concern
of all the American republics, and
especially the republic of Panama, we're
! emphasized by Dr. Eusebio A. Morales,
minister from Panama.

England and France are vanquished
during this war What will be the fate
American continent look with indiner-
ence upon the occupation by Germany
of French and British Guiana, Of Brit
ish Honduras and the islands which en-
close the Caribbean sea? The answer
appears to be obvious"
Dr. Morales said that the Monroe
doctrine faced threatening realities,
and that because of it the national
mately bound up with the whole OF
the American continents.
Unwise to Persist in Illusion.
I'm the face Of the present situation"
he continued. lit would be wise not to
persist in the illusion of the security
in which we have lived. but to create
for the defense of the continent and
the harmonious development Of the
American nations an organization
which in itself would command re-
spect.
I'm this organization there falls upon
the United States the preponderant
role, not only because it Is the most
powerful country of the continent. but
because it has voluntarily constituted
itself the champion of the other Amer
lean nations.
Speaking particularly for Panama,
my country has a direct interest in
the United States. having all elements
of defense needed to enforce respect
for it's honor. rights and interest, be-
cause this nation has expressly bound
itself to guarantee and to maintain the
independence and sovereignty of Pan
anna, and Panama is the very Amerf-
can nation more exposed than any
other to become subject to armed ag-
gresSfon."
Panama a Strategical Land.
A country at war with the United
States. DR.. Morales pointed out, would
desire above all to take possession of
the Panama canal, and operations which
might conduct to that end would have
to take place on Panaman territory"
He referred to Panama as the most
strategical piece OF land In the world,
and concluded by saying that the topic
of national defense for the United
States was not at all foreign to the
interests of Panama.

RESENTED. DOGS BEING TEASED.

Rouen, France, March IAN Amer
can woman known as Miss Florida
Settle, of New York, today was SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $40 and go to
prison for a month for firing on a man
named Waterman, who persisted in
teasing her dog.
The incident occurred last Novem-
Der on the French line steamer Chica-
go, from New York to Havre. Some
passengers began teasing Miss Set
ties dog, and she objected strenuous
ly, but they would not desist. Becom-
ing angry, she drew a revolver and
fired at Waterman. a ring-leader of
the group. The bullet flew wild Miss
Settle was arrested when the Chicago
reached Havre.
The prison part of Miss Settles sen
tence was suspended. Her defense
was that she fired only to brighten an

The above dispatch will be read
with keen interest in North Carolina
where Miss Florida Settle, known
generally as Miss Flossie Settle, is
very we'll known. She is a daughter
of the late Judge Settle, in his day
one of the most noted men in the
State and the head of a family, several
the members of which have won

She is remembered in North Carroll
ma as a woman of unusual personal
beauty and OF the brilliancy of intel
lect peculiar to the Settle family. She
chose the stage as a profession, win

essayed. Those who have kept up
with her career recall that she was
the leading lady in Tom DixQn's play,
"The Clansman," when that was hrst
put on the road, but for some reason
left the company not long after it me-
gan the tour.
"That's Just like F1ossie Settle" de-
Ciaerd one who was familiar with her
somewhat unusual career when told
OF the shooting incident on the Chi
cago.
Miss Settle, according to the recol-

career after she went to New York
to live, married a foreign nobleman
from whom she was afterwards d.

as well as in America with theatrical

DUTIES OF TAX ASSESSORS.

Gov. Doughton gives the Allegheny
Star this explanation of the change
in the machinery act as to tax as
sessments:
ITO meet the demands existing
called for by natural changes in meth.
DDS, the machinery act was so mod
ernized as to provide for the appoint
ment of one county tax assessor by
the State Tax Commission, and n
township assessor and lister for each
township, to be appointed by the
county commissioners. It will be the
duty of the township assessors to as
sess and list all property in their re-
spective territory and instead of Wis
itfng each taxpayer as in the past,
they will advertise a time and place
for such listing and the taxpayers will
meet them. The duties of the coun-
ty assessors will be to eQualiZe values
between individuals and the town
ships where occasion arises for sucn,
and in the event of their failure +"
agree, the entire matter is referred
to the county commissioners for thei"
action in the premises. The county
assessor is appointed for a term of
one year. The State tax levy remains
the same as for 1914. The county
commissioners have authority to linn
it the county assessor as to time in
completing his work"
