CONDITIONS AFTER THE WAR
Gary Says Belligerent Nations Are
Starving for Men and Money

New York, Jan 6-Judge Ebert
H. Gary, chairman of the board OF
directors of the United States Steel
Corporation, yesterday issued re-
markable statement on the steel sltua-
ton. business conditions in general,
and the war.
Judge Gary shows that the United
States is today producing steel at the
rate of 4l,OOO,OOO tons per annum,
as compared with the best previous
record of 35,OO0,0O0 tons; declares
that a long continuance of the war
would be suicidal, and sounds a note
of warning upon what the future may
have in store for business in the
United States.
Judge Gary's statement says:
"What of the future? Who can say
with any feeling Of certainty. 1t may
be very dark and desperate. 1t will
be thus in Europe and we in America
will feel the effects to a greater or
lesser extent. The destruction of bill
lions of billions of property in any
country must necessarily effect, IN
some degree, all other countries.
"If one side or the other should alb
colutely conquer the other side (Which
seems impossible, unless the war is
carried to an extent that would leave
the surviving peoples of the present
generation of all the nations helpless
and hopeless) there would be no need
nor disposition. for. an international !,
tribunal The leaders of all the ma
tions must realize and appreciate
these facts and are ready to act upon
them soon.
=" The other ground for my belief is
that each of the warning nations Is
starving for men and money both.
They do not admit it, but the signs
are plenty and convincing. Any nation
that is prolonging the war beyond the
time when it can be reasonably and
honorably discontinued, is slowly but
surely committing suicide.
"But whenever the war shall close
the business of this country will be
confronted with new conditions. The
purchasing power of the whole world
will have been very greatly reduced
Foreign countries who are now buy
ing our products, because compelled
will withdraw their patronage in a
large measure

essential points, namely, whether
a torpedo sank the Persia, and,
if so, the nationality of the subma-

GREECE MAY Be
: THEATRE OF WAR
aHN - N.f
German General Mackensen
Said to be Preparing
For Invasion
TO ATTACK SALONIKI
Germany Said to Have Sent a Threat
ening Message to King of Country
Making Demands.

London, Jan. 6.-Invasion Of Greece
by armies of the central empires is
about to begin, according to dispatch
es from several widely scattered
sources today.
A dispatch from Saloniki reports
that the Bulgarians have resumed
their concentration along the Greek
border in the last forty-eight hours.
and that it is believed the campaign
to drive the allies from Greece will
open within a few days. Anglo
French aerial scouts are most active
along the Bulgarian front. Ammunl-
ton is moving forward from Sal
oniki and the allies are making every
preparation to meet the expected at
tack.
Field Marshal Won Mackenser has
been ordered to move Immediately
against Saloniki, the Frankfurter
Zeitung declares. The railway lead
ing southwark through Serbia has
been repaired and artillery and NUM-
tions sent forward to the front.
Similar reports came from Athens
and Rome today. Athens reports the
continuous arrival of Bulgarian
troops at theI border and adds that
a SQUADRON of Austrian aviators has
arrived at Monastir. Some OF the
BULGARIAN forces reaching the bord-
er are fresh from the Albanian cam
paign against the Serbs, it Is report
ed.
Rome newspapers print dispatches
from several sources today. declaring
that the first battle on Greek soil Is
imminent.
London, Jan. 6-The seizure and
deportation by the allies of the Ger
man, Austrian, Bulgarian and Turkish
consuls at Saloniki has taken or an
exceedingly grave aspect.
The military abduction followed
sharply on the recent aerial raid ~
German aeroplanes on Salonlkl. With
out an instant's delay thc consuls
were hustled on board the French
warship Patrie. Tuesdays ntorma-
tion was they would he landed in
France and taken to TIC Flcach
frontier.
Germany, however. according to a
Rome dispatch to the 1andcn Daily
News. will not allow the incident II
I'D thus. The dispatch sayS
Germany holds that Greece IS re-
sponsible for the arrest of the Ger
man, Austrian, Turkish and Bulgarian
consuls at Saloniki.
"The Berlin government demands
immediate reparation and the release
of the consuls and their restoration tc
their residences. which, in tte future
shall be guarded byAGreek troops.
'In case compliance with her de-
mands should be impossible, owing tc
the opposition of the French ard prlt-
ish, Germany, the Berlin governmen!
represents, would be justified in dec.
claring war on Greece, whose neu-
trality is only nominal.
"Still, even though Germany and
her allies should still be unwilling t'
force Greece to abandon her neutral
ity, they feel they would be compe!
led to invade territory with the OBJ
ject of driving out the French art

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Maintenance Of Territorial Integrity
and Republican Form of
Government.

New York, Jan. 6.-ihe Evening
Post received the following dispatch
from its Washington correspondent:
"The United States has proposed
to it's twenty sister republics OF this
hemisphere a practical extension OF
the Monroe doctrine. A formal
memorandum, paralleled in import
ance only by the famous pronounce
ment of President Monroe himself,
has been presented by Secretary Lam
sing. at the direction Of President Will
son, to the Latin-Amerlcan Ambas-
sadors and Ministers here, to be sub
mitted to their respective govern
ments. 1t asks the different gov
ernments to subscribe to the follow
ing principles later to be embodied
in general convention, to which all
are to be signatories.:
a.. The United States and all the
other nations of this hemisphere mu-
tually agree to guarantee the terri
torial integrity of the countries OF
this hemisphere.
(2). All the nations agree to main
tain the republican form of govern
ment.
(3). All bind themselves to submit
to settlement by diplomacy, arbitra-
ton. or investigation commissions as
provided for by the several treaties
already ratified. disputes of all kinds,
including boundary troubles, but not
controversies affecting the independ-
ence of each.
(4. General agreement whereby
expectation of arms to any but the
legally constituted governments OF
this hemisphere will be prohibited
and laws of neutrality adopted which
will make it impossible for filbuster-
ing expeditions to threaten or carry
on revolutions in neighboring repub-
lies.
The proposition. means broadly
then that there viii he no territorial
aggression on our part that there vii!
be no intervention ever, for selfish
purposes, or to set up governments
of our choosing, but simply that, If
force is ever used. this shal! be simp-
ly and solely to protect the legitimate
interests of our nationals, or in con-
sequence Of some other violation of
rights under international lawn
other words. only in war.
The new proposal would therefore.
remove at one stroke the idea that
the United States intends to exercise
a guardianship over its neighbors. 1t
operates effectively to dispel the no.
ton that, because the American Gov
ernment renders assistance. such as
it has in Haiti or San Domingo. sell
fish motives of territorial aggression
are naturally back Of its policies.
Secretary Lansing's proposal is Of
far greater importance than the note
which John Hay sent to the Powers to
obtain definite guarantees that the
territorial integrity of China would
be maintained as well as the COM
mercial "open door, Only an en-
change Of note followed. What is
being proposed now is a general con-
vention binding on all the twenty one
countries, that none shall seek to take
territorial advantage of the other,
and moreover, that the republican
form of government shall be guaran-
teed
