PAN.AMERICANISM HAS
NONE OF EMPIRES SPIRIT.
Economic Adjustments Inevitable With
in the Next Generation.

The moral is that the states of Amer.
lea are not hostile rivals, but coop
Grating friends, and that their grow
ing sense of community of interest,
alike In matters political and in mat
ters economic. is likely to give them
new significance as factors in interna
tional affairs and in the political his
tory of the world. 1t presents them as
in a very deep and true sense unit
in world affairs. spiritual partners,
standing together because thinking to
gether, quick with common sympathies
and common ideals. Separated, they
are subject to all the cross currents OF
the confused politics of world of hos
tile rivalries; united in spirit and pur-
pose. they cannot be disappointed of
their peaceful destiny.
This is pan-Americanism. 1t has none
of the spirit of empire in it. 1t Is the
embodiment. the effectual embodiment,
of the spirit of law and independence
and liberty and mutual service.
The president calls attention to the
meeting In Washington recently OF
representatives of the pan-American
republics and says that economic ad-
justment is inevitable In the next gen

FRANCE HAS CALLED
 FISHERMEN TO CoLoRs
Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon
 Asked to Send Quota.

Gloucester. Mass, Feb. l0.-The French islands of St Pierre and Mi quelon. southwest of Newfoundland, have been called upon to contribute to the forces in the field of war Mail advices received today by fishing in terests here tell of the sailing of a contingent of 300 men for France aboard the steamer Chicago. The liner made a special stop at St. Pierre by order of the French admiralty off cials, interrupting 0 voyage from New York to Hayre.
 It was the hope of the fisher folk who constitute the greater part of the population of 1000 that their iso- lated colony might not be drawn into the conflict. A movement originating with the few business interests of the colony for contribution to the French Red Cross met with ready response and So,00C was sent to Paris Later the government administrator, F K Chaubruch, announced that the colony would be expected to send 500 men to fight for France, but physicians found only 300 whom they could cer- tify as physically fit, and it was de- cided to send that number. The con- tingent includes youths of 20 and men Of all ages up to 42 years. Practically all the men drafted earned their liv- ing from the fisheries.

He is now serving a sentence of 30 days in Maine and at the conclusion of his sentence will face the extradition pro- ceedings.
