defense, proclaimed and advances

guardianship of the Monroe doc
trine to 1.-THE full and honorable as

Although in the longest address me

President touched upon variety Of
subjects, the predominating note
was the necessity of a policy of MILE

they will affect the American CONT

The point was not overshadoweC
when the President, in the most urD-
measured terms he ever has employ
ed before congress, denounced nat
uralized Americans who, by their
sympathies for the European bellig-
erents, have endangered American
neutrality. While congress cheered
him loudly he referred to them A.

Army.
IMPORTANT NVENTS NEAR
Greek Attitude Continues to
COmplicate Situation For
The Allies.

London, Dec. 8.-Important bat
ties have begun or are impending in
Mesopotamia, where the German
field marshal, Baroff Won der Goltz,
has taken command of the Turkish
forces and is about to attack the
British at Kut-el-Amara; in south.
eastern Serbia, where the Bulgarians
have already attacked the Anglo
French positions and have been re-
pulsed; on Gallipoli, where, accord
ing to Turkish accounts, the allies
have taken the offensive. and in Bel
GUM and France, where, reports
from Holland state, the Germans
have concentrated strong reinforce
ments and an immense amount of
artillery with the object of striking
a blow at the allied lines in Flanders
and Artois.
Except in Serbia, the battles have
not developed beyond the prelimi-
nary stage, so far as is known, the
artillery alone of the different arms
being active. Along the Vardar-
Cerna-Karasu front in Serbia the
Bulgarians have already commenced
their attack against the nglo.French
and il is reported that the German
army of General Won Gallwitz has
been reorganized and reinforced and
is marching south to take part in the
Operations.
The Germans evidently intend tC
strike hard before the allies, who
continue to land troops at Saloniki,
have completed their preparations.

COMMITTEE ENDORSES PRES.
Kentucky Contest Settled By
Seating Urey WOOdsOn Until
End of Term.

cratic national convention of 1916
will be held at St. Louis. beginning
Wednesday, June Ia, at noon. The
democratic national committee last
night named the convention city and
adopted resolutions calling for the
denomination and reelection of
Woodrow Wilson as "the trusted
leader of national democracy"
Chicago and Dallas contested with
St. Louis for the honor of the con
vention. but st. Louis easily led from
the start and won on the second bal.
lot.
1t has been necessary heretofore
for national conventions to begin
work on Tuesday. The fact that
Tuesday fell on the 18th next year
may or may not have had something
to do with the determination of the
democratic committee to begin the
proceedings day later. The official
explanation. however. was to the eff
feet that the convent on would not
require more than three or four days
to complete its work, and it would
not be too late in the week to start
on Wednesday.
The committee was confronted by
two contests which threatened for q
time to cause some feeling, but they
were settled in comparatively short
time and the atmosphere seemingly
was C cared. Urey Woodson of Ken.
lucky was seated in his contest with
General w. B. Haldeman of Louis

A part of the day was taken up in
hearing the cause of woman suffrage
discussed by representatives of suf-
frsgist organizations and by a body
of women in opposition. The COM

but there was no effort to place the
members on record. Several hun

THOSE WAR LOANS

After a great amount OF racket ana
noise and heated language about the
Anglo-French loan OF half a billion
dollars in this country, comes the
news that German banks and Ger
mans in New York are subscribing
to a German war loan. True, the
New York subscriptions to. the Ger
man wal loan have not yet reached
the $1O0,000,000 mark, but the prin-
ciple is the same. Yet not II word
about that organized New York sub
scription to the German wal loan has
been published in the Hearst papers.
If the Germans and the German
banks OF New York and elsewhere n
this country wish to subscribe to &
German war loan that is their BUSH
ness. Hearst would have us believe
that President Wilson should pro-
hibit the loan to Great Britain and
France, but he has not suggested that
the American Government should in
t~erfere with the war loan to Ger
many.
The $50O,000,O00 oar to France and
Great Britain will be used exclusive
ly in America for the purpose Fl
making the rate of exchange more
staple, thereby helping to maintain
the volume of American EXPORTS"
says a statement issued by two mem
bers of the Anglo-French commits
sion. This loan has been discussed
openly; there has been no attempt ut
secrecy. The whole country will
have an opportunity to participate in
the loan, and the bonds will be issued
in denominations as low as 500.
