WAR BETWEEN CANADA
 AND U. S. IMPOSSIBLE
Statement by Former President Taft
 in Address on MoDros Doctrine.

Toronto, Feb. 1.-The largest gath ering in the history of the Canadian club heard William Howard Taft's ad- dress on the Monroe Doctrine today. Introducing him, Leslie Wilson, pres ident of the club, acknowledged the debt of Canada to the Monroe Doc trine, which, he said, had simplifled matters for this country on more than one occasion.
 War between Canada and the United States was impossible, MT. Taft de- clared, referring to the one hundred years Of peace. He alluded to the fact that the Geneva convention had award ed $15,000,0O0 to be paid to the United States.
 You didn't like it: England didn't like it; but you paid it like good sports declared MT. Taft. And we have had difficulty in distributing it ever since
 Similarly the United States did not like to pay the $5,000,000 she was ton. But she paid it.
 AS to the policy of the United States toward the countries of Europe now at war. Mir. Taft said:
 'EYou know President Wilson's policy. I'm loyal to the president and behind him i'll that policy. You wouldn't think much of me if I wasn't
 He sympathized with Canada. in the state of tension and anxiety which the war entailed and then turned to the discussion of his subject proper, the Monroe Doctrine.

BATTLE FOLLOWS BATTLE
 ON THE EASTERN FRONT.
Russia is Coping With Germany, Aus
 tria and Turkey,

London. Feb. H. 9-3O p. n.-Battle Is following battle on the eastern fronts, where Russia, singie-handed, is fight ing the forces of Germany, Austria and Turkey. The Russians have held their lines against Field Marshal Won Hind enburgis army, which attempted last week to break through to Warsaw and apparently have checked the Austro- German offensive in the Carpathians. They are now called upon to defend the positions which they have won in East Prussia and Northern Poland. and guns by their excellent strategic railways and have assumed the of fensive on the East Prussian border and on the right bank of the Lower Vistula, where an advance has brought them in the district of Sierpec, which the Russians occupied a short time ago.
 It is impossible to say yet whether the next big battle will take place in this district or in East Prussia, as Grand Duke Nicholas, with whom the initiative remains, has not disclosed his intentions. He may either strike between TilSit and Insterburg, in East Prussia, or threaten to cut VOn IIinden.burg's communication with Thorn by 8 movement along the Low CT Vistula
 No further change is noted in the Carpathians, but the Austrian official report, which complains of the obsta- cle of snow and the strong pressure of the Russians, suggests that their offensive has at least partly failed.

to leave the country within 24 hours from midnight February 10, because of alleged refuge given to Angel De Caso, a Spanish subject.
 The Spanish minister left Mexico City for Vera Cruz immediately after being ordered to depart. He insisted that De Caso was at no time in the Spanish legation, but declined to re- veal his whereabouts.
 A copy of Carrauza,s note to the Spanish minister. ordering him to quit Mexico, reached the state department today. It follows:
 Carranza's Note.
 ''The assistance which. taking ad- vantage of the character you say you have of Spanish minister. you have given to Case. hiding him in your legation and saving him from the pun ishment which he has merited Oblige me, as first chief, to inform you that inasmuch as you have disobeyed my orders, you must leave the country within 24 hours from midnight, Feb ruary 10. No ofense to the Spanish government or people is implied by this act
 The time limit allowed for the min ister's departure from Mexico will ex- pire at midnight tonight and it is therefore supposed here that he al- ready has boarded a ship at Vera Cruz where he has announced that he will await further instructions from his government.
 It was not believed here that Car ranza's action would be followed by the immediate retirement from Mexico of the remainder of the diplomatic body there.
 Other Foreign Diplomats ResentfuI.
 Though 1t has been reported that generally they deepely resent the treat nent accorded to their colleague, it is believed that they will subordinate to the urgent demand for their pres ence in the Mexican capital to look after the lives and property of their nationals during the present crisis.
 It was recalled by the state depart ment officials that General Castro, when president of Venezuela, similar ly expelled the French minister from the country without affecting his for nal relations with the other diplomatic representatives, though the iIl-feeling thereby engendered undoubtedly pre- cipitated the downfall of the ruler.
 Angel De Caso IS very well known in Washington, having paid several visits to the city. He consulted with officials here regarding the conditions in Mexico upon which he was regard ed as an authority by reason of his long residence there and his large pe- cuniary interests. It is known that he has been acting as a confidential agent for the Spanish minister in his com munfcations with General Villa so that his relations correspond to those exist ing between George F. Carothers and the state department here.

Tn the after noon the woman left the police station, her questioning over. and apparently free to go where she pleased. But she was carefully trailed by one of the
 Sleuths of the state police. The New

Washington, Feb. 11.-Pubication by the state department tonight of the text of the notes sent yesterday to Great Britain and Germany. respect lively, revealed that both countries had been warned in most emphatic terms against IT. senacing the vessels or lives Of American citizens lVersing the recently proclaimed sea zones of war. Strict Accountability from Germany.
 Germany was advised that the United States would be constrained to hold the imperial government to g strict accountability" for such acts Of it's naval authorities as might result ln the destruction of American ves- SelS or the loss of American lives and that if such q deplOrabie situation should arise" tine American govern ment would take any steps it might be necessary to take to safeguard American lives and property.
 Warns Great Britain.
 To Great Britain the United States pointed out the measure of respOnsi- bility which would seem to be i'm posed on the British government flor the loss of American vessels and lives in case of an attack by q German naval force" if England sanctioned the gen. eral misuse of the American flag by British vessels and thereby cast doubt unon the valid character of neutral euSISnS.
 The two communications were to have been presented today respective Iy 10 the British government by Am bassador Page and the German foreign office by Ambassador Gerard. They were prepared by Counsellor Robert Lansing and revised by President Will son and Secretary Bryan. after con- sultation with the entire cabinet.
 Copies Gwen to Foreign Diplomats.
 The British, Spanish and Brazilian ambassadors. who happened to call at the state department. were given copies of the notes, as were the ministers of Sweden. Norway and Denmark, who specially requested them. The d6cu- ments created something of a senSa- = tion among the diplomats generally, because of what some regarded as their drastic implications.
 High officials of the American gov erament pointed out informally that it had been deemed advisable to speak in unmistakable terms now, rather than
Norwich bulletin., 1915-02-12

to await the alarming effect upon American public opinion which might ensue from the sinking of q vessel with scores of American citizens. The notes, officials were confident, would serve as a preventive of the critical possibilities discussed in them
 Diplomats examined with great care the language of the communications and some of them construed the note to Germany as 3. warning that the loss of American lives by sinking even a belligerent merchant ship would be covered by the representations of the American government, because of the insistence that all merchant ships must taken off before ships can be sunk

 The government of the United States having had it's attention di- rected to the proclamation of the Ger man admiralty on the 4th of February that the waters surrounding Great Britain and Ireland including the whole of the English channel, are to be con- sidered as comprising the seat of war: that all enemy merchant vessels found in those waters after the 18th instant will be destroyed. although it may not always Le possible to save crews and passengers; an dthat neutral vessels expose themselves ito danger within this zone of war, because. in view -crH the misuse of neutral flags said to have been ordered by the British gcv- eminent on the thirty-fi first of Janu- ary and of the contingencies of mari time warfare, it may not be possible always to exempt neutral vessels from attacks intended to strike enemy ships. feels it to be it's duty to call the at tentiOn of the imperial German gov ernment with sincere respect and the most friendly sentiments, but very candidly and earnestly to the very se- riouS possibilities of the course of ac- tion apparently contemplated under that proclamation.
