PAN A N { R|CAN
POLICY OUTLINED
BY PRESIDENT.
UNITED STATES TO CONTINUE
ENFORCEMENT OF THE
MONROE DOCTRINE.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 7.-Presi-
dent Wilson's address before the Pan
American Scientific congress last
night, in which he outlined the gov.
ernment's plan for a Pan-American
alliance guaranteeing absolute politi-
cal independence and territorial integ.
rity, was favorably commented on by
delegates today.
The president disclosed for the first
time the details of the proposal sub
m1tted by Secretary of State Lansing
to South and Central American diplo-
mats to be used as basis for an
agreement between the republics of
the western hemisphere.
The United States proposes, the
president said, that all the American
nations shall agree to settle all pend
ing boundary disputes as soon as pos
sible by amicable process and to dis
pose of all disputes in the future by
arbitration. furthermore, all countries
under the plan would agree that no
revolutionary expedition shall be out
fitted against or supplies for revolu.
tionists shipped to neighboring coun-
tries. . ..
President Wilson told his audience
that the Monroe doctrine always would
BE maintained by the United States
on it's own authority, but that the doc
trine did not disclose what attitude
this country would assume towards its
neighbors to the south, and as result
the other nations had been disrustful.
The announcement of the selection
Of Lima, Peru, as the meeting place
of the next congress in 1921 was re-
garded by the delegates as an evidence
Of the desire for closer relations
among the American republics. The
selection was made by the executive
committee on the suggestion Of the
delegation from Chile. For many
years disagreement over boundaries
has kept Peru and Chile in some
what strained relationship. 5
Sessions of the various sections OF
the congress today were brief. The
congress will close tomorrow with a
joint meeting when resolutions and
suggestions evolved in sectional meet
ings will be taken up. !

GREAT BATTLE ON.

Paris, Jan. 7.-Fighting on the Rus
sian frontier is fast growing in 1ntens-
ity and assuming great ferocity, says
the Petrograd correspondent of the
Havas agency in dispatch filed We'd
nesday. Dispatches from Kiev de-
clare that the noise of cannon can be
heard along distance of thirty-six
miles and that windows in all the vii
by the conclusions. The battleis rag
ing with particular fury on the Tarn.
opol-Trembowla front, where more
than 100000 men with $500 cannon
are necessarily engaged. Long Aus
tro-German Red Cross trains are leav-
ing this front daily for more remote
and thinly populated towns where hos.
pitals have been organized.
Wounded Russians report that con-
sequences of this battle already are
being shown in certain sectors by the
blowing in of first line German
trenches and the slow but irresistible
progress Of Russian forces. The same
officers tell of enormous difficulties
the Russians have had to surmount
on this front, where entangelements
of barbed wire are often laid twenty
four deep and charged with powerful
electric currents supplied from sta.
tions especially erected.
An immediate approach to these en-
tanglements is impossible, the Russian
soldiers having invented the following
method of surmounting the difficulty.
Good marksmen fling ropes with
hooks at the ends over the barbed
wire, then pull until they have broken
one of the lines of wire and continue
this until the whole entangelement
is removed.

WEEKS SPENT IN MID-ocEAN
WITH GALE THREATENING
TO SWAMP VESSEL. 4

New York, Jan. THE lit passen-
gers who were forced to abandon the
sinking Greek steamship Thessalon-
Xxi at sea arrived here today on the
steamship PATHS Of the same line and
gave vivid descriptions Of the hard
ships they suffered In the five weeks
the Thessalonil1i was battered by ter
rife gales.
On Christmas day the supply of
meat on the rThessaloniki was ex-
hausted, only few gallons Of water
were left and the ships officers began
to portion out short rations.
The Thessaloniki first sprung a leak
when she encountered hurricane
which ragged for twelve hours Decem-
ber 2l. The boiler and engine rooms
were partly flooded and the steamer
sent out calls for assistance. After
the hurricane subsided the ship, was
pumped out and proceeded on her voy-
age. 4
Rough seas and gales were encoun-
tered from December 22 to December
26, when the Thessalonik ran into a
ninety mile hurricane which lasted
for twenty-four hours. Many of the
passengers and crew feared the
steamer was sinking. as fresh leaks
= ere opened and the boiler and en-
gine rooms and coal bunkers rapidly
filed with water.
Calls For Aid.
It was then that the Thessaloniki
sent out numerous rs. o. S." calls
which were heard by the PATHS, Unit
ed States, Florizel and other steam
ers. The Florizel was the first to
reach the disabled vessel and offered
to take off the passengers and crew
and carry them to Bermuda. Capt.
Goulandis, who was making his first
voyage as master, declined this Of
fer. The Florizel stood by until the
PATHS came in sight.
The Thessaloniki's passengers were
transferred to the PATHS with consid-
cradle difficulty and were forced to
leave all Of their baggage and person
al belongings on the disabled vessel.
After the transfer the PATHS shot a
line to the Thessaloniki and took her
In tow January 1. The wind increas-
ed greatly during the night and early
the following morning the towline
parted That afternoon the PATHS got
another line to the Thessaloniki, but
the cable parted again January and
the Thessaloniki was driven rspidly
southeast before cyclonic snow

Owing to the Thessaloniki's engines
being stopped by the water in the
ships hold she was only able to send
out infrequent wireless calls, whicl.

up the search and was Joined by the
Scandinavian steamer United Safes,
which had turned out of her course

ent panic among the steerage passen-
gers of the Thessalonik when they
learned the ship was leaking. The
priest went among lnem and stayed
until they were transferred to the
PATHS. He held religious services

This was reported by William Will

will end the controversy over the
Lusitania disaster In manner salts
factory to the United States were un-
derstood to have been received here
today from Berlin. Count Won Bern
storff had an appointment with Sec
retary Lansing this afternoon.
Germany Is believed to have agreed
to pay AN indemnity for the Ameri-

doed; at the same time basing a reser-
walton OF any wrongdoing on the con-
tention that the destruction Of the
vessel was an act of repr.sal in retail

rine warfare in the North sea include

lations committee also met to con-
slider the situation, but as Chairman

today still uninformed as to whether
the vessel was torpedoed and, if SO,

other details which determine the ma
ture Of the action the white house has

ments continued today to indicate
that the American government would
withhold action pending official ad-
vices determining these points
Overnight developments included
the receipt of dispatches from Ambas-
sador Penfield at Vienna asserting
that the Austrian government was
without information concerning the
incident up to the night of January
4, and from Consul Garrels at Alex
andria, Egypt, stating that he had OBJ
tanned aff1davits from twenty-one sur
vivors and that all confirmed previous
