SAYS GREAT BRITAIN HAS MONROE DOCTRINE

London, Feb s.-Dr Vaughn Cor nishs an eminent geographer who has been making a special study Of the ! tstoricaI and physical geography of the present war, points out that, like the United States, Great Britain has a. Monroe doctrine.
 The power Of Great Rrdtain in the world, he says. depends on her be- ing mistress of the Atlantic commu- nications of western Europe. Britain.s Monroe Doctrine, therefore, means that the acquisition of territory by, other nations on the coasts or islands Of western Europe would be casus bel1i. Norway, which has long since ceased to be a great power, has fine hanbors within three h miles of Scotland, and a power acquiring these would be able to turn our position on the north 5ts+=ss sF
 'sThe harbors of Portugal and her island, Madeira, Cape Verde and the Azores are important positions on our routes to Egypt, South Africa and the Caribbean Too little attention has been paid to the advantages which we should derive in the war from Porfll- gals throwing in her lot with us,'

Miss Hewitt Tells Of Experiences at
 The Protective Asso.

Miss Katherine I. Hewitt, superin- tendent of the Bridgeport Protective Association, addressed an unusually large audience on the work of the association at the Park Street Con gregatdonal church last evening. Her talk dealt with her personal observa- tions and experiences as head of the home. The Protective association is for women of all ages and it's cases have included besides girls. many women with children who have been put out of their homes. Since the opening of the headquarters in June there have been 30 children there, and the problem confronting the off, cers is what provision to make for these children.
 "A story was told Of one woman who applied at the home for aid and who, after she had been kindly re- ceive told that it had been her in- tention to drown herself in the har- 4bor had aid been refused her.
 The employment part of the insti- tuition, which had not been provided for when the association was first founded, has worked up splendidIy with the cooperation of members and friends. One instance was mention ed where a family of this city had made it possible for a girl to take a years s course in the duties of trained servant that she might not be simply a hired servant"
 The entire talk was most interest ing and instructive and illustrated with many pathetic incidents.

PREPARE
 FOR LONG SlEGES

Berlin, Feb. 8-In occupied districts of France and Belgium, which the Associated Press correspondent has just visited, the Germans are plainly preparing for Q long occupation, should it be necessary Everywhere one sees instances tof their 1atioHaa1 thoroughness. Repairs have been carried out solidly and methodicauy. Even ename1ed street signs occasion ally appear where the name of ab street has been changed. The "gare'' has become ''Bahnhof," permanent signs limiting the speed or course of autom obiles have been set up, and the visitor from the Father1and feels him self quite at home in the once French public buildings at beho1ding the old familiar p1acards, DO not spit on the door," or throw refuse in this basket
 Mingling with the uniforms of the the German postal and railway au- thorities. The struggles of their wearers to understand and make themselves understood with the French inhabitants form a, humorous side of the war. Some of them have acquired 8. few words of French, and some of the inhabitants have recipro- cated by learning a few German words. These. with the help of an assortment of fearful and wonderful gestures, generally succeed in clear ing up the situation. When all means fail, appeal is made to some by stander.
 In two weeks in the occupied dis trtct, the correspondent did not ob- serve a, single case of fncivility on the part of German soldiers or gov ernment officials toward the French inhabitants. On the contrary, the Germans invariably displayed great Ileatierca and ciyiIity
