Monroe Doctrine in respect to China. He
said:
Owe will not only not seek TO assail the
integrity or the sovereignty Of China, but
will eventually be prepared to defend ana
maintain the same integrity and the lnde-
pendcnce Of China against any aggressor.
For we know that our own landmarks woulG
be threatened by any outside invasion or IN
reference in China
In his later speech at the Willard dinner
however. he objected to the use Of the
term "Monroe Doctrine" in this connec-
ton. on the ground that it was somewhat
loose and misleading" His new statement
Of his position was made in the following
words:
90 want TO make II very clear to you that
the application of the term Monroe Doctrine
to this policy and principle, voluntarily out
lined and pledged by me, is inaccurate Inere
is this fundamental difference between the
Monroe Doctrine and the enunclauon OF

territorial integrity Of her neighbor'

during the Napoleonic wars some Of the
greatest writers Of the age were openly ad-
miring of their countrys arch-enemy. In our
own time, before the war. the men most
generally associated with the higher intelli-
gence of England have been emphatically of
the minority. To-day, apart from the Cam
bridge group, leaders of opinion SC widely
different as Bernard Straw and Graham Wal
las and Clutton Brock have preserved a re-
markable balance Of mind; but the rest have
nearly all undergone a spiritual conversion
Take, as an example which every one
will admit to be striking, the case OF John
Galsworthy. He is a minority representa-
tive if ever there was one. He belongs as
completely and inevitably to the few as Rud-
yard Kiping and Conan Doyle belong to the
many. Such men as those are unimaginabe
in any other relation; they incapable OF
intellectual or emotional isolation. Gals
worthy, on the contrary, is detached IN an
extraordinary degree.
But the war, which leaves Rudyard KIP
ling and Henry Newbolt and Mrs. Humphry
VI ard exactly where they were before, has
transformed John Galsworthy out Of recog-
milton. lie lined himself up with the multi
tude Of his countrymen; he can write ex-
positions Of the war policy or celebrations
to America which appear without incongrulty
in the popular prints lie performs, Of
course, his own particular piece Of war ser
vice with the inconspicuous devotion and re-
sponsibility Of which the English writing
class has furnished many instances. But
and here ia the odd contradiction-in his
uropaeandist writing he reveals himself as
q typical Englishman Of the class TO which
in his novels and plays he has offered
,.arcilacc and nereictent challenge.

as they have In the country which is not
seldom accused of despising them.
What, then, has been happening 70 the
English intellectuas during the last three
years? Those popular leaders and guides
Of ours. who for long before the overturn
had things pretty nearly all their own way,
what has the war done TO and for them!
How have their position and influence been
affected? How do they stand to-day, and
what is likely to be their plight when the
war is over and we return, il we ever do,
70 the pursuits and interests that once made
Up the lives of educated people?
AT least one interesting thing has oc-
Cured which hardly any one could have
foreseen. The war has drawn very large
number Of literary craftsmen into one form
or another Of the public service. We hear
from time TO time Of young poets, romancers
and scholars who have been swallowed up
by the armies and the world grieves on their
account; but for the most part We do not
hear of the writers of maturer years who
have been recruited by the government as
CORRESPONDENTS or translators and for the
MANY literary and semi-literary tasks COM
inc within the scope of the foreign office,
the press bureau and the complex enter
prises Of censorship and propaganda that
this war has developed. Not by any means
all OF this work is Of an expert or responsible
kind Many a man Of literary gifts is to-
dav content to be doing a plain piece of
drudgery as his part Of citizenship in war
time.

provision for the Young Writers
/ Of Tomorrow

"What is the war likely TO do TO the men
of letters, and more especially TO those who,
since the disappearance OF the great writer
in his character Of major prophet, had IN
ante -belum days combined the functions or
Journalist and interpreter, if not also OF
novelist and poet? One thing seems car
tain: this Unreasonable upheayal involves
so intense a concentration Of energy that
while it lasts cannot expect any great
overflow of literary production; nor OF
course, can we, amid the vast and piuiuI
sacrifice Of youth, look for the emergencs
of new genius in any OF the warning coun-
tries. The end, in all likelihood, will re-
lease flow of imaginative creation, and we
may well expect revolution in form no
less than a revelation Of fresh and startling
ideas and experience.
"The young writers Of tomorrow will BIO
provided in overlooking abundance with sub
jects more compelling than any which havo
been available since the breakup of the
medieval world, and We may be quite sure
they will make and follow their own roads.
To them may be given an authority greater
than that enjoyed by even the most fortu-
rate of their predecessors. ''''
"But who can tell? 1t is conceivable that
the world, after the war, may agree in
as TO the value of the intellectual in soci-
ETY.. If so, few people will have the hardi-
Rood to deny that there is embodied, in the
history of the overturn and its antece1 dents,

being used to sustain any condemnation 10
which the world may set its seal"

made his most important address while

The reception of the commission by the
city press was all that could be desired
Even Herr Hearst stopped for the moment
his long-pursued anti-Japanese campaign
and refrained. on his editorial page, from
mentioning the commission at all. Among
the papers which actively welcomed the
commission The Tribune hit the general
tone well in the following passage:
Japan has fairly won place among tire
great powers of the world. In military
strength. in industry in commerce, she has
shown the qualities which make great ma

Progress Of Work in
Crater Lake Park

The many Ashlanders who heard
Stephen D. Mather, assistant secre-
tary of the interior and superintend-
ent of the national parks of the
United States, when he addressed an
Ashland gathering a few weeks ago,
will be glad to learn that definite
progress is being made and further
progress is planned along the lines
which Mr. Mather outlined here.
The following extract is taken from
Mr.. Mather's report on progress In
development Of the national parks
made to congress yesterday:
"Crater Lake Prospects.
"Hotel accommodations in Crater
Lake national park have never been
satisfactory, and this year there was
no improvement in them over former
years. The development of accom-
modations and transportation service
in this park must be undertaken on
the same broad scale that the new
concessions in Yosemite and Mount
Rainier are now being handled.
When such accommodations and fa-
cilities are provided for the comfort
and convenience of visitors, the
Southern Pacific Company can be ex-
pected to operate high-class train SER
vice to Xix, on the east side Of the
park, thus making it possible for the
tourist to enter the park by the west
entrance and leave through Kirk in
the klamath direction, or the reverse,
| hope to completely reorganize the
Crater Lake concession within few
weeks and mako conditions definitely
attractive for 1917 travel
"The War Department, under
$50, 700 appropriation, has continued
the construction Of scenic highway
around the lake under the direction
Of army engineers The appropria-
tions, however, for the administra-
ton Of the park have been worry small

and there is no authority for using
revenues of the park for its admins
tration and protection. 1t has there
fore been impossible to build a very
necessary water system, a small cleo
trio plant, and make other improve
ments of this character The lack of
water at the Crater Lake Lodge on
the rim caused considerable incon-
venience during the summer"
