IT'S ONLY A BLUFF
Prof. Usher So Styles Uncle
Sans Monroe Doctrine.
England, Not Q. S., Has Pre-.
vented European Invasion.

st. Louis, March 3.-Prof. Roland
G. Usher of the department of history
of Washington university, in an ad-
dress before the mayors conference on
national defense. this afternoon dis
cussed the Monroe doctrine.
Europeans" he said, deny that the
Monroe doctrine ever has been real
ity. If this be true, we cannot main
tain it or defend it because it has
never been anything but a huge piece
of bluff"
Professor Usher said this was a
common view in England, France and
Germany. He continued:
Don't Want Protection.
South America is not now in dan
ger of European conquest he said,
'and does not need the Monroe doc
trine AS far as an economic conquest
of South America is concerned, the
Monroe doctrine is not needed to pre-
vent it because it already has taken
place And South Americans do not
want interference by the United States
in this situation. They look upon Eu-
ropeans as their best friends. To Eu-
ropeans and South Americans the
Monroe doctrine means an aggressive
scheme by the United States to extend
its own commercial influence in South
America at the expense of both Euro
peans and South Americans. 1t is
largely the Monroe doctrine that
causes US to be feared in South Amer

OPPOSE WARNING AMERICANS
Brand Cores Story OF AdVOcat-
ing War as False.
His Motion Tabled: House Will
Follow Suit.

Washington, March 3.-By a
vote Of 6S to IA, a greater ma
jority than they had expected,
administration forces in the SEN
ate today tabled Sentor Cores
resolution to warn Americans
off the armed ships Of the Euro
pean belligerents and thereby
finally quelled in the senate an
agitation which had embarrassed
President Wilson in the subma-
rine negotiations with Germany.
Senator Cores resolution, a
"sub" by Senator McCumber, a
Republican, and an attempt by
Senator Gore to strengthen his
original proposal, all were de-
feated at one time on a roll call
on a motion by Senator James,
one of the administration whips,
to table them. The administra-
ton victory in the senate trans
ferred the fight to the house.
Cores Resolution.
The text of the Gore resolution fol-
"Whereas. a number of leading
powers of the world are now engaged
in a war of unexampled proportions;
and.
'FWhereas, the United states is hap
PLY at peace with all of the beiliger-
ent nations; and,
Whereas, it is equally the desire
and the interest of the American peo-
pie to remain at peace with all the
nations: and,
FWhereas. the president has recent
ly afforded fresh and signal proofs of
the superiority of diplomacy to butch
cry as a method of settling interna-
tionol disputes; and,
Whereas, the right of American
citizens to travel on unarmed belliger-
ents' vessels has recently received re-
newed guarantees of respect and in
volatility; and,
Whereas, the right of American
citizens travel on armed beliger-
ents' vessels rather than upon unarm-
ed vessels is essential neither to their
life, liberty or safety. nor to the in
dependence, dignity or security of the
United States: and,
War vested in Congress.
Whereas, congress alone has been
vested with the power to declare war,
which involves the obligations to pre-

Resolved, by the senate, the house
of representatives concurring that it
is the sense of the congress vested as
it is with the sole power to declare
war, that all persons owing allegiance
to the United States should in behalf

THAT LIE
Estimates of Experts in the
Passenger Rate Case
Do Not Agree in Amy I'M
pOrtant Particulars.

For three hours today Elliott Hol-
brook, valuation engineer of the Union
Pacific railway, disputed the figures
submitted by the public utilities COM
missions own engineer for use in the
passenger rate case. Holbrook de-
Tended strongly his own figures for
the distribution Of expenses of rail-
road operation and declared that he
neither knew nor could he understand
the figures which the state commits
sion assumed to have in it's possession.
During his final hours on the wit
ness stand, Holbrook cross fired the
commissions lawyers concerning
methods in the purchase of ties, the
distribution of the expense and the
items which composed the charges
Then the witness spent another thirty
minutes in the discussion of ballast.
He refused to admit that speculative
and theoretical methods of determin
ing expense were better than those
employed in his analysis.
Attorney for the commission sought
to force from Holbrook an admission
that flaws existed in his system of
accounting for expense items. The
valuation engineer was determined.
He refused to yield. When the law
yers spoke harshly to him, he re-
piled in the same tone. When ques-
ton was put in soft and soothing
tones, Holbrook maintained his com
posers and usually went the lawyers
one better in his courteous retort.
The examination of Holbrook will
be concluded late today. 1t is prob
able that the commission will then
announce a recess until Monday
morning. At that time Engineer
Strickler will be called to the stand
by the commission and the case of
the Union Pacific as affecting pas
senger rates will probably be con-
cluded sometime Tuesday.
Attorneys for the Santa Fe an
nounced today that they would be
ready to presnt their case Wednesday,.
The commission will arrange to take
up the Santa Fe case at this time. 1t
has not been announced whether the
commission will attempt to sandwich
the Missouri Pacific case between the
cases Of the Union Pacific and Santa
Fe, or will direct the Missouri Pacific
to succeed the Santa Fe in the giving

Information.
Predictions at the Office of
j. G.. MOhIer.

Tuesdays snow will add a busheI
to every acre sown to wheat in Kan

ceived today by J. @. Mohler, secrc-
tary of the state board of agriculture
Based On the states probable winter
wheat acreage and the speculative
price for next summer. TUESDAYS
snow was worth $500, 900 to Kansas
In his office in the state house to-
day, Secretary Mohler declared the
big snow of Tuesday would greatly
benefit growing conditions in the big
wheat producing counties of the state
Unless the benefits of the week are
dissipated in some future misfortune
Kansas farmers will probably add
eight and a half million dollars to
their years earnings as a result of the
snow.
Il have received several statements
to the effect that the snow would add
one bushel to the acreage production
for the state" said Mohler "Of
course these figures are not official
Yet, it is quite interesting to note the
benefits from such blessings as a big
snow at just the right time and under
the right conditions.
There are probably S,5O0,000 acres
of winter wheat in Kansas. Assum-
ing that the estimates are true, the
states wheat crop for this year has
been increased S,500.00 bushels. If
the high prices continue, that ought
put, or an S8,50O,00O snow"
Able to Hold Crops.
Mohler, who returned this morning
from q trip into Dickinson county, de-
clared the farmers of the state are in
excellent financial condition. They
are able to hold their crops for top
prices, he said, and their financial
standing is better than at any time
in years
while I was in Abilene, 1 saw
farmers hauling wheat to the local
markets. IT wasn't wheat from the
1915 crop, but wheat grown in 191 /.
A few years ago such a thing would
have been impossible. Now the farm
ers have money and are in a position
to hold their crops for highest pos
sible prices. 1t is the best possible
evidence of the states prosperity"
While Secretary Mohler will not is
sue an official bulletin until early
spring, unofficial reports to the board
of agriculture have indicated ideal
conditions for the growth of winter
wheat. Now Mohler suspects that the
big blanket of snow will mean eight
and a half million dollars to the Kan
SaS farmers

RAIDER LURKING NEAR!
Is Waiting for Chance to Dash 10
Newport News or Norfolk.

New York, March 3.-A report hat
German commerce raider or prize
was lurking off Cape Henry, Va,
awaiting a chance to make a dash for
Newport News or Norfolk, was
brought here today by Captain Munke-
witt of the Bull-Insular liner Grayson,
arriving here from Porto Rico.
Captain Munkewitz said that early
yesterday the second officer reported
mysterious light to the east which
he could not make out. The light was
moving eastward and Captain Munks-
witz altered the course of his ship
when a second light appeared close 10
the port side and apparently moving
westward. Both lights disappeared
AS suddenly as they had appeared
Captain Munkewitz said heavy weather
and clouds prevailed off he Virginia
coast and that he was satisfied he
vessels whose lights he had seen were
trying to keep their movements s. cret
He felt sure that the lights did not
belong to a British cruiser as these
patrol ships make no secret OF their
movements.
