Secretary Daniels's Plan May
Protect Monroe Doctrine
in Case Of War.

Wilmington, jan. 29-Dehnite plans
for government-owned cooperative
radio service, assuring constant com
municstion with all republics Of the
Western Hemisphere, were formally APP
proved to-day by Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels. and will be transmitted
by the state Department for the mp
prevail Of the various governments con
cerved.
The chief features Of the proposal
are:
]. That each republic own and CON
troll all radio stations within It's ter
ritory.
.. That where such ownership and
control is imprsc;icable, arrangements
be made by the governments 90 take
over and operate such stations IN the
time Of emergency.
9. That concessions be granted by
each government for the interchange Of
communication, particularly for the
transaction of official business and
business tending 20 promote CONNER
eial relations and international eN-
changes.
Details Of the plan were worked out
BY Captain A. II. q. Billiard. superin,
tendent of the United States naval
radio service. The proposals 20 the
other republics suggest that the nited
States naval wireless service be sys-
tematically copied by them. In trans
hitting the proposals to the other gov
ernments the State Department viii act
wholly in an informal capacity. Dele
gates representing the various coun-
tries may be brought together lafer for
ii general discussion Of the project.
There was virtually q unanimous SEN
timent among Central and South Amer
ican republics ia favor Of the PROPOSE
tom when il first was suggested by
Secretary Daniels United States navy
and army officials attach great i'm
rortance 20 the plan, declaring IL would
add materially TO the value OF com
munication facilities at the disposal OF
this government in time Of war, ana
would knit the nations Of the three
Americas closer together against any
common foe which might threaten their
integrity as guaranteed b. the Monroe
Doctrine.

Albert VI. Lythgoe, the archeologisi
in charge Of the Metropolitan Egyp-
tian collection, went with the eXpedi-
ton that obtained the tomb, and after
the work was completed returned 20
New York TO superintend the treatment
Of the stone and the erection OF the
tomb in the Museum. The other day
he pointed out some Of the casual
traces left by the Egyptian workmen
during its construction Al the back
of the walls. for example, the mortar
bore the hardened imprints Of the fng-
ers Of the laborers as distinctly as on
the day the stones were placed IN posi-
ton. North of the tomb mass Of
dried paint was discovered buried
where the painters had thrown u.

New York q part of "A pottery basin

under the plaster and mud flooring OF
