U. S. Will ASK
BUT one THING
AT WARS END
Monroe Doctrine Must be
Recognized as Part Of
International Law.
BY Milton Bronner.

Washington, D. c., Aug. H.
Formal international recognition Of
and adhesion to the Monroe doctrine
that Is what Uncle Sam is going to
insist upon when representatives Of
the warning nations finally gather to
discuss peace terms. 5.
I 1t is assumed here by all that the
United States and her allies will be
the yictors. This country entered the
war with the declaration that it de-
sired no material gain. no annexa-
tions and no indemnities for itself.
No other nation will be in like case,
France will be desirous Of Alsace-
lorraine, and money for the restora-
ton Of ravaged northern France.
England will want to hold the Ger
man colonies in Africa the German
Pacific ocean islands and the Meso-
potamian valley, which will block the
German Berlin-to-Bagdad scheme.
Belgium will want restoration and
indemnity for ruin.
Serbia will be in like case.
" Italy will claim Trieste and the
.Dalmatian coast.
'a Runania will want that portion Of
Transylvania which contains 3,0O0,-
900 Rumanians.
And so on. And right when they
are In the midst OF their palaver the
American representa- atiyes will prob
ably say: 54} ~
- ssWhile we are about 1t, lets
write into International law this
Monroe doctrine, sometimes chaI-
lenged and disputed =

London, Aug. 11.-Arthur Hender-

Mr.. Henderson, the labor member

nation and Premier Lloyd George has
accepted it.
French and Italian labor councils
refused to participate in the Stock

The labor conference by more than
to voted in accordance. with Hem
derson's advice, thereby reversing the
position to which the labor party has
committed itself at an earlier conven-

Considerable feeling was aroused In
England last month when Mr.. Hem
derson went on mission to Paris with
the pacifist, James Macdonald, and
George j. Wardell Wardle,i acting

HOLD GERMANS
FOR MASSACRES
OF ARMENlANS
T. P. o'connor, Irish Lead
er, Says Kaiser Must be
Held Responsible.
ONE WORD WOULD
HAVE SAVED HORROR
Berlin Has Been all Power
full at Constantinople for
Years, He Says.

Chautauqua, N. Y, Auge lit. p.
O'Connor, M. p, Irish Nationalist
leader, in an address here this after
noon on the Armenian situation told
Of Germany's responsibility for the
slaughter Of thousands in Armenia.
1T Is one of the most lamentable
facts in this whole tragic story" he
said, that the German rulers have
played terrible part in these mas
sacres."
For a generation the voice of Ber-
lin has been omnipotent in Constanti-
nople. At the moment of the massa-
ere troops Of Germany and of Turkey
were fighting side by side. Is it not
clear, therefore, that Berlin had only
to say a word and the massacres
would not have begun and even II i
they had begun would not a word
have brought them to an immediate
end?
IF needed further proof Of Ger
man responsibility I would point to
the action Of the representatives of
Germany; to Wangenheim refusing
your ambassador, Mr.. Morganthau' s
appeal for intervention; to Count
Bernstorff's attempt at Washington
to deny the massacre; to the state
ment Of Bethmann-H Hoiweg, thinner
mann and other German officials in
Berlin, which If they did not justify
at least extenuated this horrible
crime
"And having that conviction how
can I help feeling that am on the
right side when feel myself in hos
tility to the present regime in Ger
many. How can I look for hope for
the Armenians except in the defeat of
both Turkey and Turkeys allies, the
militarist party in Berlin? For these
reasons rejoice that your great coun-
try has entered the war; has made the
wise and the just and the humane
choice iii the war"

Austro- German attacks yesterday
In the region Of the villages of Wy
dra, Voloshkany and Clifestchi, of the
northern Roumanian front, were re-
pulsed by the Russians, says the off,
cital statement issued today by the
Russian war department and the Teu-
tons were driven across the Putna
river.
In the course of a battle south of
the river Pruth, on the; frontier of
Roumania AND Bukowina, the Rus
siaus entered the. town vof; 14pkoviea
ana took prisoner 200 officers and
men,. The Russians also captured 200
Austro- Germans and took three ma
chine guns by wrestling a height in
that region from the enemy.
Six German assaults were made on
the British position to the east of
Ypres during the night. according to
the British official statement issued
today. They all broke down after
fierce fighting. '
Field Marshal Haig reported that
the British maintained their position
to the east of Ypres and gained
ground near the Ypres- -Menin road.
In the eastern theater things seem
to be going better for the Russians,
except in southern Moldavia where
Field Marshal Mackensten is pushing
an attack. The Russians are holding
the important railroad north Of FOX
shani, connecting the two lateral lines
along the western Moldavian front.
Even here the Russian reports today
announce that the Russo anians
although forced back across the Such
itza, west Of the Fokshani-Oc rail-
way held their ground to the east of
the Bath line where the menace to
the road is greatest.
The most signal Russian success
was scored in the vicinity of Brody
where the Teutonic command flung an
attack on Thursday in an apparent eff
fort to clear the Russians from the
remainder of the soil they hold. Pet
rograd announces heavy assault re-
suited with heavy losses to the Aus
tro- German forces.
Other successes were won by the
Russians on the Russo front, where
the town Lukowvicz, was entered by
the Russians and a height was cap
tured together with some 400 prison.
