URGES US. TO SAFEGUARD
MONROE DOCTRINE NOW
Henry A. Wise Wood Would Have
Allies Formally Recognize
Principle.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 29.-Forma1 recog-
milton by European and Asiatic nations
OF the Monroe doctrine should be OBJ
tanned at this time. so that diplomatic
time, Henry A. Wise Wood, inventor
and writer, said in an address today be-
fore the national conference of foreign
relations of the United States in session
at Long Beach, N. Y.
while the Monroe doctrine has been
little more than declaration of inten-
ton, Great Britain has been its friend,
and no other nation has undertaken
said. Nevertheless. the occasion has
arrived when we should seek to OBJ
tain at this time from our allies formal
recognition of its validity. We're France,
Italy, Russia and Japan now formally
to acknowledge its validity a long
stride would have been taken toward
the inclusion with them of the German
and Austrian empires at the conclusion
of peace.
1--WE can we'll afford to uhderwrite
the security of British possessions in
this hemisphere in exchange for Great
Britain's understanding to assist us, if
necessary, in the enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine"
Representatives from several South
American countries. college professors
and editors from all parts of the coun-
try and representatives sent unoffi-
cially by entente ENJOYS to observe the
today at the conference.
Among today's speakers. in addition to
Mr.. Wood. were Arthur Bullard, John
Temple Graves and Frank H. Simonds.
who were to discuss the censorship and
open diplomacy, and John Bassett
Moore, Prof. William /. Hull and AL
pheus H. Snow, who were to speak on
the attitude of the United States on
world organization.
Tonight Walter L. Fisher, Secretary
of the Interior under President Taft,
and cambridge Colby will Speak on
THE Democratic Ideal in International
Stands For"
Charles E. Hughes, speaking last
night at the opening session of the con-
ference. advocated establishment of
an inter: tional conference after the
war, to meet at regular intervals, as
the first step toward building up inter-
national law. There also should be es-
tablished, he said. at the earliest pos
sible moment, "a true international
court of justice for the decision of
justiciable questions" and an interna-
tional council for the arbitration of
non-justiciable questions.
In the building up of all these insti-
buttons, he said, the United States
should give full cooperation.
81 hope that our statesmen will keep
an open mind on this question and will
not so far commit themselves that they
will be embarrassed in dealing with
the conditions which may obtain after
the war" Mr.. Hughes said: 80 that the
United States, without prejudice to It's
essential interests, may do its full share
in establishing the foundations of in
ternational justice"

Though not settled, 1t is more. than
probable the so-cal1ed jury wheel sys-
tenn will be employed in selecting

Marshal Gen. Crowder, with the as

sidered. As each individual drawn re-
ports his claims for exemption will be
passed upon, and If he is exempted
another will be. drawn to fill the
vacancy.
The law provides for local exemption
boards in each county and for each
10000 in city population. Boards of
review also will be established on the
basis of one or more to each federal
judicial district. All the boards will
be composed of civilians. Secretary
Baker says that the process of select
ing them has not been worked out.
Gen. Crowder said that only con-
fusion would result from the reported
intention of men above the fixed age
to register on June S.
This is mistaken patriotism" he
said, and registrars will be instructed
to accept cards only from men be-
tween the ages of twenty-one and
thirty, inclusive"
Men will not necessarily be excluded
from the draft because they are mar
ried, Gen. Crowder explains "Only
those whose dependents must rely
solely on them for support should
claim exemption" he said. land. of
course, all married men between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty, in
elusive, must register whether or not
they purpose to claim exemption.
The act establishing the selective
draft authorizes the President to ex-
those in a status with respect to per
sons dependent upon them for support
which renders their exclusion or dis
charge advisable The census esti-
mate SHOWS that almost half the men
available for draft are married, and

RED BLOOD
THE DRIVING
FORCE OF LIFE
Thin blood is a psor foundation for
success. Make your blood rich
and red with right habits and
Pepto-Mangan.

81 consider red blood to be a funda-
mental factor of success" says the business
man. s'For the man who would climb to
the top must prove his ability to stand the
gaff. He must have vital strength, stamina,
courage, calm nerves and clear BRAIN
qualities which you expect most often to
find in red-blooded man."
Men, youths, wives and mothers, young
girls, children, old people-all must depend
on red blood as the driving force of their
existence.
If your blood is thin or clogeed with
poison, change completely your habits of
living. Get out more in the air and sun
shine, exercise regularly, cultivate rest and
sleep. Observe reasonable restraint at meals.
Take Pepto-Mangun three times daily.
