DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE
IS LATEST SCHEME
Twenty-Five American Repub-
lies Are Concerned In
New Movement

Washington, Dec. 31.-Creation Of a
defensive alliance that would put the
power and resources Of the 81 American
republics behind the Monroe doctrine,
it became known today, is the real pur.
pose behind the proposed convention
among them. While ostensibly this con.
vention is for settlement of boundary
disputes and for preventing munitions
from reaching revolution states, and
while Secretary of State Lansing would
not discuss the broader proposition,
delegates to the Pan n-American Scien-
tific congress declared that such q
movement is on foot.
It will prove, they said, the most
powerful alliance in the history of the
world, including in suggestions made
for the alliance are:
Creation of standing armies the size
of each to be determined in the con.
vention and subject TO call for the de-.
fense of any one republic.
Creation of navies along similar
lines.
Promulgation Of q code of laws for
regulation not only Of boundary dis.
putes, but also to deal with commercial,
industrial and financial matters
An agreement that no one will make
an offensive or defensive treaty with
any government outside the western
hemisphere.
Establishment of court from repre-.
sentatives Of the subscribers to the
Pan'American alliance, to settle all dis
putes,
Establishment Of an international
police force, distinct from the regular
army and navy, to put down revolutions
when the court decides such outbreaks
are not supported by majority Of the
people in the affected country.
Director John Barrett, Of the Pan.
American union, had this to say con.
cerning the proposal.

and that the wouldbe purchaser, so the
story goes in the Bosnia coffee house,
denounced him to the military, who
searched the premises and found 1900
silver dinars hidden away. Whereupon,
so Monastir believes, the merchant was
shot.

10. S. ?. MINISTRIES
DELIGHT AUDIENCE
AT PRISON CONCERT
Ex-Vaudeville Stars and Anna.
lures Put Over Clever
Comedy and Good Songs

The first and only original Oregon
State Pen Minstrels entertained a ca
pacity audience at the prison auditor
ium last night with program filled tO
the muzzle with fun music and clever
stunts. Under the direction of Happy
Jack" Condor the boys went through
their PAGES with snap and put their
stuff over like veterans and the only
difference between the vaudeville of
the o. s. p. and the Orpheum is the
price. The 10 piece orchestra under
the leadership of J. Danly performed
in a creditable manner and from the
opening chorus to the grand finale the
crowd was held by tne excellent work
Of the performers
LaRose, Foster, Gordon, Rea, Mortar
ty and Graham furnished the solos aud
each was compelled to respond to a
generous enchore. The solos and Choir
uses composed the first part Of the pro-
gram and then came the colo. ("
Martin, LaRose, Oliver and "Terrible
Towser" himself, pulled off clever
farce comedy working in some local
hits in the manner Of "big time" spe-
ciahsts. The Premier Four-Graham,
Woodward, Moriarty and Rea, did q
few quartette songs and were forced to
respond to enchores until the repertoire
was exhausted. johnson with Gordon
as his assistant, did some juggling nv.
traodinary that lived up to the name.
Johnson is not only an accomplished
juggler but appears to have had some
experience before the footlights before
he tried those at the prison auditorium.
He juggled everything that was loose
about the stage and finally finished
up on his partner in the act whom he
left Cup in the air" by his fast work.
"Her and Him" were Donville and
Foster featuring number of song hit0
and l.. G. Mcdonald appeared as the
popular magician. Calling two of Sa-
lem s well known citizens to the stage
he was tied to a chair by them and
then released himself in a iiffy. -.
"The Haunted House" was a sketch
which purported to have been originat-
ed in Salem 8 colored quarter and the
good work of Graham, Moriarty and
Healey the ghost made fitting close
for the feature program.
All in all the boys acquitted them
selves with honor and credit both to
themselves and to the institution. Many
Of them have doubtless been on the
stage and several of them could make
good before the footlights. Everyone
in the audience remembered numerous
worse shows that they had seen but few
better ones considering the conditions
under which the show was staged. The
boys in their natty suits were rugged
out by the prison tailors and all of
their materials came from inside the
four walls Of the pen but the limited
territory was no discredit to the per-
formance.
Interlocutor Kirk and Director Cor
don paid a pleasing tribute to the Of.
ficers of the prison and thanked them
and except for the lines of guards and
the steel doors the audience might
have been passing through the exits
of a first class play house at the close
Of what was pronounced to be the big
gest and best minstrel show ever staged
inside the state pen.
