There was animation in the old

section, within and without doors. A
majority of the population was on

something to add to the din. Explo-
sions rent the air, and cow bells were
were trailed through the streets by
bicycles. Improvised bands were for

the utilization of fish horns, whistles,
and tin vessels of all sorts. The
"Caithumpians"had charge, and they
marched from street to street letting
everyone know they were wide awake
until long after the midnight hour.
There were two alarms OF fire in the
meantime, one emanating on north
Washington street and the other at
midnight while bells were ringing
and whistles shrieking the old year

CONTROVERSY
WITH AUSTRIA.

AT the beginning of the new year
il is refreshing to realize that rela-
tons between our country and other
nations are tranquil. This reminds us
of the good Queen Victoria in her an
nual speeches to the British Parlla-
ment, when she would announce that
her Rrittanic Majcsty's kingdom was
cnioying pacific relations with all
nations. These blessed conditions con-
tinued during most of the years OF
the widowed queen. But how different
now! Her grandchildren are thirst
ing for the blood If each other. A
few days ago emissaries of King
William attempted to destroy the
life of King George, the Kaiser's
cousin, and grandson of the late Brit
ish sovereign, by dropping bonn
near his automobile. He was wound.
cd by the explosion.
But returning to our own relations
with other countries. As we had anti
cipatcd from the first, Austria has
met all the requirements Of the United
States in the Ancona affair, and there
will be no trouble with Francis Jos
eph's government. 1t was thought
at the first that Austria would show
a pacific spirit wncn the issue was
placed in the proper light by Prcsi-
dent Wilson. The fact that Ger
many had previously admitted the
business of American notes on simil-
ar occasions indicated that her ally
would act equally as reasonable.
So long as this war in Europe con-
.innns w" may expect differences at
dscet he combattants. But
saere is reason for alarm every
srsc, a ssue is sprung which is
NEc exhaust. diplomacy.

General John Barrett, of the PAN
American Union:
F The delegates were electrified by
his prediction of an evolution of the
Monroe doctrine into a pan-Amerlcan
doctrine for mutual defense against
from overseas when he de-
fined such doctrine as meaning
"that the Latin-American republics,
in the event that the United States
were attacked by a foreign foe,
would, with all their physical and
moral force, stand for the protection
and sovereignty Of the United States
just as quickly as the United States
under corresponding circumstances
would stand for their integrity and
sovereignty"

present. South American republics,
which at times have not shown the
best spirit toward the mother repub--
lie, are: realizing the Importance of
union at this. critical juncture in the
worlds history, incident to the SAN
culinary war. The proceedings of the
Pan-American Scientific Congress in
Washington this week have been of
an interesting and vital nature. Pan
Amerianism" has been the tocsin,
and the responses have been earnest
from all the delegates. The impor-
lance of standing by each other in
emergencies which are liable to be
sprung at any time never appealed
with such force at similar gatherings,
The place of a united Parl-Ameri-
ca in the eventualities which will
confront the world at the end q the
European war was pictured to the
Congress yesterday by Director-Gen-
eral John Barrett, of the Pan-Ameri-
can Union.
The delegates were enthused by his
prediction of an evolution Of the
Monroe Doctrine into a Pan-Ameri-
can doctrine for a mutual defense
against aggression from overseas,
when he defined such a doctrine as
meaning shat the Latin-American
republics, in the event that the
United States were attacked by a
foreign foe would, with all their ply
steal and moral force stand for the
protection and sovereignty of thu
United States just as quickly as the
United States, under corresponding
circumstances, would stand for their
integrity and sovereignty"
Wherever the delegates gathered
the director-generaTs declaration was
discussed with the greatest interest.
and it was regarded generally>as one
of the outstanding events of the
congess, pointing the way to Pam
American unity.
Should the plan of Secretary
Lansing that has been talked over
by him with representatives at the
congress take form, there will never
be occasion for war upon the West
crn Hemisphere and peace will be
established upon footing Of scnti-
ment and some form Of force. The
plan contcmp!atcs the use Of arbitra-
ton to settle boundary disputes that
are a frequent occasion for controv-
crsy between the Latin American
states.
1t also looks toward the refusal OF
shipments Of munitions Of war to
any set Of revolutionists. With the
supplies cut off the revolution would
languish.
1t thus appears as though the
newer spirit Of Pan-Americanism for
the preservation of the Monroe Doc
trine and the, territorial security of
the American republics will be wild
ened out into an agreement whereby
the settlement Of quarrels will be
through arbitration and the revolu-
tionary resource of political discon-
tent will be cut off. Nowhere in the
world has the principle of arbitration
made equal progress<as among the
Latin-Americans. The plan advanced
by Mr.. Lansing is, therefore, in the
Of present tendencies, and
would make the United States a
party among equal governments to
the preservation Of the Western world
from war among it's several members.
