All America May
Unite For Defense
Planned by Twenty.one
Republics

Washington, Jan. S.-A defensive
alliance that would put the power
and resources of the 81 republics of
North, South and Central America
behind the Monroe doctrine, It be-
came known today, is the real pur-
pose of the proposed convention be-
tween these nations.
Some of the suggestions understood
to have been made are:
Creation of standing armies by
each nation, the size of each army to
be decided upon by all the nations
concerned.
Such armies would be subjected to
the call of any one or more of the
81 republics.
Creation of navies along the same
line.
PRONUNCIATION of a code of laws for
regulation not only Of boundary dis
phtes, but of commercial, internation-
al and financial matters.
No member of the alliance to
make any offensive or defensive
treaty with any government outside
of the 81 publics of the western hem
isphere.
Establishment of an international
court comprising representatives of
all the nations subscribing to the
Pan-American alliance, such court
or body to have power to settle all
disputes and to interpret the pro
posed international code.
Establishment of an internationa'
force, distinguished from the regular
land and naval forces, to be used
as police force, this force to be
called upon and to be augmented by
the regular land and naval forces,
II necessary to put down revolution
airy movements when in the opinion
of the international court, the revo-
lutionary movement is not a move
ment on the part of the people of the
nation affected.

his return from Hot Springs, Va.
The senate foreign relations commit.
tee also met to consider the situation
but as Chairman Stone was detain'

passed since the steamship Persia

the loss of American life. officials to-
day we're still uniformed as to whe'
Their the vessel was torpedoed and If
so, the nationality Of the submarine.
Developments today continued to in
dictate that the American government
would withhold action pending Off
cial advices determining these POINTS
Overnight developments included
the receipt Of dispatches from Am
bassador Penfield at Vienna asserting
that the Austrian government was
without information concerning the
incident up to the night of January
and from Consul Garrels at Alex
andria, Egypt, stating that he had
obtained affidavits from 81 survivors
and that all confirmed precious state
ments that no warning was given and
no vessel was seen.
Ambassador Penfield's dispatch add
ed that Baron Burian, the Austrian
foreign minister has asked what in
formation concerning the incident

States.

Consul Garrels reported have left AL
exandria for England. Their afiiday'
its will be sought upon their arriv'
al there.
State department officials had hop
ed that inquiries Of the Vienna for
eign office would result in informa
ton which might clear up the doubt
regarding the circumstances of the
disaster. 1t was considered still pos
sible that the Austro Hungarian gov
eminent might obtain the desired in
formation later. as submarine oper
ating where the Persia was sunk
might have been so far from its base
that its commander would be unable
to report promptly.
Must Wait For Facts
As the cabinet assembled it was
made plain that the members agreed
with the president that in the case
of the Persia nothing could be done
until all the facts were at hand
Some members expressed the opinion
that it might never be learned whe
Their the Persia was sunk by a sub
marine and IL so what nation was
responsible.
Regardless of the outcome of the
Persia case, however, the majority
of the cabinet members are repre-
sented as believing that the time has
come for making certain that ne
further attacks on merchant ship:
carrying Americans will be made.
The administration leaders are
said to feel that continued loss o.
life of Americans will lead the Unit
ed States into hostilities.

Today's War Primer

San Giovanni Di Medua, the gate.
way to Northern Albania, is a sea.
port by courtesy of geographers. 1t
is merely curve in low, sandy
shore, and in itself, suggests no rea-
son why any vessel should ever touch
at such a place. However, at the
beginning of 1913, Albania, hitherto
unknown, found itself grown famous
over night as a founding state of
the European Great Powers, and San
Giovanni di Medua shared in the
fame. At this point in the world war
Medua bids fair to add materially to
It's importance by having a business
thrust upon it surprising that of its
1000 years of sleepy desolation."
Thus begins primer on war Ge-
ography issued today by the National
Geographic society, which describes
the strategic entrance into Northern
Albania and Montenegro, port
which, in view of reports, may soon
be used as giving the most direct
line of communication with the Mon
tenegrin and Serbian fronts. With
$4,000 Serbians warning on the Ser
bian Albanian border and with the
Montenegrins heavily engaged on ev.
cry front-both entirely dependent
now on their Allies for materials-it
is most probable that, whether Allied
troops land here or not, San Giovan-
nj di Medua will blossom under an
undreamed of rush Of business, han
ding munitions and food supplies.
The primer, continues:
Despite its unimpressive appear
ance, Medua has been coveted by
Serbia and Montenegro, both of
which countries demanded 1t as a
prize won in the war of the Balkan
League. The port lies at the head
OF a wide bay formed by the estuar-
les of the River Drin. A range Of
frayed, unkempt. dispirited hills,
stretching from Boians to Alessie,
constitutes the background. To the
south, lies a melancholy waste OF
swamp land, which reaches out so
gradually toward the sea that there
is no line of demarkation between
land and salt water.
"There are no harbor works, piers.
wharves, warehouses or docks at Me
dua. A line of stones PILED into the
sea has served the ports full pur.
pose for many a year. The shore
shelves gently out, and the bay is
very shallow. Landings of travellers
and freight were made by lighters
in the days before the war when the
steamers of the Austrian Lloyd call
ed here. Boatmen. like opera houf
fe brigands. animated arsena's and
true Albanians, served the places
traffic.
From Medua the road suns to Sou
tart or Scodra as the natives call It,
the Albanian capital. 1t like the port
is recognized only by courtesy; its
principal property OF being road is
that Of direction. For short dis
lance out of the port. and at the 9th.
err end, for a short distance out Of
Scodra, roadway is apparent. In
between, however, lies the uneven
Zadrima plain, the crossing of which
is complicated in all by dry weather
by the inconsistent wanderings of
the Drin river.
'Medua could be made into sea
port of some importance; and its use
by the Allies might bring a blessing
in disguise. Blessing of the nature
of army engineers, nucleus Of har-
Dor works. and the beginnings of n
sound roadway to the ancient capt.
