MONROE DOCTRINE
SAFE, SAYS LANSING
Secretary Says World Peace

Upset U. 8. Policy.
ALLIANCE Is NECESSARY
American Interests Require
This Nation to Abandon
Tradition, lie Believes.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. Secretary
Lansing discussed to-day the possibility
of the United States abandoning its
traditional policy o. holding aloof from
c~ntangling alliances In order 10 play q
role in preventing future wars. As
pointed out in THE Sun editorial yes
,erday Mr.. Lansing admits that this
contingency fairly faces this Government

but Secretary Lansing makes the dis
tinctior that although this would imply
cooperation OF the United States in Eu.
ropean affairs II would not necessarily
mean the surrender OF the position We
have always maintained since the pro-
mitigation Of the Monroe Doctrine con-
corning the policy Of the United States

In explaining how the evolution OF in
ternatiouai diplomacy might make a
change N our time honored policy cs'
sentisi II is pointed out that the Mon
roe Doctrine Is not a treaty but a dec
iaration OF policy. In our own interests
II means that the territorial integr't!
OF this hemisphere must be recognized
by the nations Of Europe.
There is no need. IL 10 said. OF alter.
ing this policy because Of the estab'
lishment Of a league to enforce peace
ever though European nations might co
operate with the United states In pre-
venting wars In the Western Hemisphere
President Wilson'S declaration that tn,
United States IL willing TO cooperate

reace of the world ia admittedly pledg
ing the United States to something {,
which II is not in the owe OF tn

PRAISES WILSON'S NOTE.
Italian Paper, "Popolo ROmsno,'
Calls IL Great World Event,

ROM tvia Paris). Dec. 23.--Tnc
PopoIo Romano In its comment on Pres
ident Wilson'S note to the belligerents
alludes to its ISSUANCE as the great world
event OF the day, Its tone is character
hed az friendly but arm. with a certain
accent OF the Judge who proposes to
WELD the sword OF solomon, wishing TO
end the war.
The Paris and London press. this
newspaper thinks. has not caught the
= meaning Of the note. and IL ex-
presses the belief that after mature con-
sideration II will find It's first impressions
altered. at least in part. Indeed. adds
the PopoiO Pomdno. II is unwise to give
the impression that the Entente Allies
are wounded by the Presidents note,
which. II says, asks II the main the in.
tenttons OF each group OF bellkEerents to
ascertain IL a speedy peace is possible
n to regulate the future actions OF
America toward promoting integrity and
justice among the nations.

whether the President imagines Germany
will accept II under the present con-
ditionA but at least he must admit that
II she refuses there h not by any means
that approximation of views which he
assumes. and In that case the founda-
ton Of his ease falls away.
/. Neither he nor American opinion
can blame us II we continue to fight
for the independence Of Belgium and
Serbia and refuse to purchase II at the
expense OF any other ally. Again. we
think reparation Is due Belgium for the
spoliation Of her cities. and even more
now for the enslavement Of her citizens.
No American will question this.
I'm other words. we do not believe II
Ia possible for Germany SO to state her
own case In reply to the demands we
have put forward as to commend II to
any neutral nation like America with
strong democratic ~sympathies and hui
name feelings.
This IL the reason why we believe
that the note. II coolly considered and
wisely answered. can only help our
cause and throw into stronger relief the
moral weakness Of the German position.

suggestion Of peace and are bent on
seeing German misunderstanding In every

JONAH

Bonnie and Roy were left at
home alone ONE afternoon while
Aunt Julia went to the village to
do some shopping.
She had hidden them be good
boys and keep out of mischief
They meant to do so, and to make
it the more certain they each took
a spelling book and sat down to
learn line of words.
But it was so hard.
The sum shone so brightly and
the birds sung so merrily that they
just could not study.
Lets go and feed Jonah said
Ben. Jonah was the great Plymouth
Rock cock that was always ready
to eat or to have a quarrel. And
he belonged to Ben and Roy
Yes, let's CO. echoed Roy. "That
wont be mischief
Out they went to find Jonah but
he was not in the barn or in the
yard.
They heard great chuckling in
the garden. There was Jonah right
i'm the middle OF Aunt Julia's on
ION bed digging with all his might,
making the dirt fly out behind in
great ruin.
Two OF the hens were with him,
looking ON to catch the worms
turned out by his big feet. BEN hull
looed, and Roy seized long stick
and ran after them.
This frightened Jonah SO that he
scudded beneath the barn. 1t was
long time before he could be

and BEN tossed out a few kernels
of CORN at time "Just to- see
en- rum.
And oh, how they did run and
scramble and push each other.
Soon Jonah got over his scare for
he wass very tame, and was as
eager to get the corn as the hens
had been.
Lets let him look at himself,
cried Roy They took down the lit
tie kitchen lookingglass. 1t was

nah was placed on the floor be-
fore it.
How he ruffled up his feathers
and strutted back and forth. The
cock in the looking glass ruffled
up his feathers, too, and did exact
ly as Jonah did.
That made Jonah dare up to the
saucy cock and dance sideways. So
the other danced, while Ben and
Roy lay on the kitchen floor and
laughed.
But b. -and-by, Jonah could not
endure the insults of this rude fell
low any longer, and with one bold
dash he kicked his feet into the
air, and struck right at his bold
speckled breast.
All, what crash. The little look
ingglass fell over upon the floor
broken into hundred pieces.
Jonah was scared, but in a mo-
ment, believing that he had won tn,
battle he flapped his wings AMI
crowed until the kitchen rang.
| Ben and Roy knew now that this
was mischief; and they sat ON thu
floor in a great panic, when Aun
Julia came in.
1t was a great grief to the boys
but there was nothing to do blu
