TO the state Department.: The German
government desires to express it's
deepest sympathy at the Joss OF lives
on board the Lusitafiia. The respon-
sihility rests. however. with the Brit
ish government. which. through it's
plan Of starving the civilian ropula-
ton OF Germany. has forced Germany
to resort to rctaliatory measures
In spit. OF the German offer 10 stop
the submarine war in case III" starva-
ton plan was given up. British mer-
chant vessels are being generally
armed with guns. and have repeatedly
tried TO ram submarines. so that a
previous search was impossible. They
cannot. therefore, be treated as or
binary merchant vessels. y recent
declaration made 10 the British Parlia-
ment by the parliamentary secretary
in answer To q question by Lord
Charles Beresford. said that at present
practically all British merchant YES
sells were armed and provided with
hand grcnadcs.
Besides it has been openly admitted
BY the English press that the Lusitania
on previous voyages repeatedly car
ricd large quantities Of war materials.
On the present voyage the Lusitania
carried 800 cases of ammunition, while
the rest of the cargo also consisted
chiefly Of contraband.
IF England. after repeated official
and unofficial warnings. considered her
self able to declare that that boat ran
no risk, and ;hus light heartedly as
sumed responsibilities for the human
life on board a steamer, which. owing
20 its armament and cargo, was liable
to destruction. the German government.
IN spite of its heartfelt sympathy for
the loss of American lives. can hut
regret that America!.s felt more in
clincd TO trust 10 English promises
rather than pay attention To the warn
ings from the German side.

dependently. It is useless to talk about disar armament until the ecOn- omic causes of war are eliminated.
 Before the growing nations can consent to world federation, there must first be a law-making body in which nations are represented accord ing to their self-supporting literate population. I believe that the most any world organization can accom- plish is to provide some means by which the fittest shall rule without resort to war.
 Tt is generally agreed that the causes of war in modern times are largely matters of commerce and other economic conditions. If some plan can be found by which interna- tional trade routes shall be neutral ized, further legislation by one ma tion against another shall cease and economic opportunity to all shall be- come more nearly equal, a long step toward the elimination of wars will have been taken.' 1

WAR HAS BROUGHT
 AMERICAS CLOSER
Brazilian Writer Asserts in Address on Effect of Conflict on Pan-
 American Co-OperatiOn


 Worcester, Mass, Dec 1.-The cf- feet of the war upon Pan-American cooperation was discussed by Man uel de Oliveira Lima, Brazilian writer on Pan-Americanism," at the Clark university conference here to- day. "On Latin America the war has had generally detrimental effects, so far as economy is regarded, but mor- ally it has had a wholesome effect'' he said. "It has drawn the Latin American countries more closely to- gether than anything else.
 "I am not sure, however, that if some European or Asiatic power should attack any of our countries, that the sister republics would stand united and protect the country SO threatened. I firmly believe in Amer ican solidarity, but l believe still more in human selfshness. I am pretty sure of one thing, and that is that the United States would not lose time in assisting the victim in case of war instead of assisting the aggressor.
 with the exception of Argentina and the United States, all of the Am erican republics are suffering severly from war. Their markets are cut off and ruin threatens. I think tha. CO., operation among the neutrals would bring about a cessation of the war if such a cooperation was absolutely neutral"

MONROE DOCTRINE
 FOR WHOLE WORLD
Urged by Admiral Chadwick to
 Lessen International Strife

Worcester, Mass, Dec. 17.--In ad- ence on "The Problems and Lessons of the War" today, Rear Admiral French E. Chadwick, U. s. N., Gre tired), advocated the extension of the principle of the Monroe Doctrine to the whole world as a step toward les sening international strife. The doc Urine as so applied, he interpreted to mean that there should nowhere eS- ist any special spheres of infuercc."
 "Imperialism," he said, "has had it's worst and most injurious develop ment in recent years, its essense being land grabbing and the establishing of these spheres. Navies and armies are insurance for capital owned abroad by the leisure class of a nation. It is for them that empires and spheres of influence exist. The great war now waging is continuation of ef- forts to maintain and extend these spheres.
 Time to Call Halt.
 "The time has come to call halt. This can be done only in conjunction with the general acceptance of the open door policy, that in Ill parts of the globe all nations be admitted to trade or exploitation on terms of absolute equality. Such arrange ments would at once remove the de- sire for conquest. If we do not want wars we must give freedom to the whole world.
 Let there be a world congress and bring before it the whole question of spheres of influence and demand everywhere in the countries seized im- morally in the last generation the ab- solute open door. To effect these changes there should be a permanent international board to supervise the actual carrying out of the grnat step to freedom"

TALENTED ENGLISH
 ACTRESS AT PARSONS

At the Parsons theater tonight and tomorrow afternoon and evening the talented English actress, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, and her London company will entertain theatergoers and par ticularly the devotees of high class dramatic offerings with George Bern ard Shaw's comedy romance "Pygma- Hon.' The offering is a notable one for two reasons; that it is the first play Shaw has written carrying through it love story and this will be the first time that local theater- goers will see Mrs. Campbell in a comedy role. Her charming charac- terization of Juliet" played with Forbes Robertson in London as early as 1895 called forth the kindest of criticism from Shaw's pen. "As 'Juliet,' she still fits herself without ef- fort, simply she is wonderful per- son, not only in facial prettiness, but in the extraordinary swiftness and certainty of her physical self-com- mand. Physical talent which is seldom conspicuously recognized except when 1t is professedly specialized in some particular direction will, when accom- panied by nimbleness of mind, quick observation and lively theatrical in> stinct, carry any actress with a rush to the front of her profession as it has carried Mrs. Campbell
 Showing interesting pictures taken in the frozen north, Dwight Elmen- dorf, the traveller and lecturer, will appear at the Parsons theater. Mon- day evening, in his illustrated lecture Norway the Land of the Midnight Sun." MT. Elmendorf, as last season, comes here under the auspices of the Hartford Grade Teachers club and the net proceeds are to be devoted to the Hartford Women's Clubh ouse fund. Some choice seats are still to be I had for the entertainment which was postponed from last Tuesday because of the inability of MT. Elmendorf to reach Hartford on account of the storm.
