AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY
AND MONROE DOCTRINE

The Monroe Doctrine. as Originally
announced, served as a shield, which
the United States held over itself and,
over weaker states on the American
continents as a protection against;
European interference and European
encroachment. It was and Is
national policy which protects North
and South America and makes for
peace on these continents.
There Is real danger now. however,
that the Monroe Doctrine will 0e
carried SO far and with so high a.
hand that the real value Of the policy
WIN be lost.
Senator Knox made the following
amazing statement in his recent
speech IN the Senate:-"1ts (The,
Monroe Doctrine; precise character,
the extent, method and time OF its,
application, the means of compelling
its observance, all are matters Of our
high and uncontrolled will and SOW
ereign prerogative. We, the United
States, cannot answer to any one
else In respect to it. We use it when,
as. and to the extent we need It.
There can be no limitation upon 1t,
except our requirements. our will. and
our force Of arms. Whatever security
we may need within its purview. it
must give il we ask it. !"
That sounds like Trietschke. It is
an announcement Of unlimited will.
backed by arms. to be exercised as
the United States alone determines
her own requirements to be. Such
an immoderate statement OF the Mon
roe Doctrine weakens and does not
strengthen it. It is an extreme
statement of the doctrine, calculated
to cause trouble and friction on the
American continents. The Doctrine
30 stated is not unlike the doctrine
which Germany sought to apply to
Europe.
Senator Knox would refuse to sub
nit to Cancellation any dispute grow
ing out Of the application Of the
Morzoe Doctrine, whether such dis
pute were between the Unitd States
and an American state or between
the United States and a non-Ameri-
can state. On the American CONT
nent the arbitrary will Of the United
States backed by force is to prevail.
The other nations agree, in the Gov
enant OF the League Of Nations, to
submit to Cancellation all non-justici-
able disputes; that is. those which
grow out Of questions of policy. Is
the United States to demand that she
alone be relieved from such 0hliga-
ton and on the ground that, when
her interests are involved, her abso-
lutte will shall prevail? How does this
differ from the German position in
Europe?
The fact is that the Monroe Doc
trine now that it has been recognized
in the Covenant Of the League of Ma
ions is adequately protected.
It is such pronouncements as that
Of Senator Knox and not the wise
provision in the Covenant of the
League of Nations which threaten the
usefulness Of the Monroe Doctrine.

GUARD IN BRILLIANT ARR..Y
cretan Soldiers in Attendance On
VenizeIos at Peace Conference:
Were GorgeousIy Uniformed.

Kings, presidents and prem;frs
ceased to be novelty at the peace
conference, but the bodyguard of Pre-,
mier Venizelos Of Greece. never f;ilrtl
to attract great crowds. At the latcI
where the American delegation WAS
housed and at the foreign office, Weir
izelos' approach was always her; ''i''l
by the arrival Of one of his Crttah
soldiers arrayed more brilliantly Than
a comic-Opera bandit.
The Cretans who escorted the Greek
statesman were all more than sin feet
tall ard apparently had been chosen
from various organizations, as i diff
ferent man appeared daily, ard the
same uniform was never seen twice.
The swarthy Cretans all had small
waxed mustaches twisted into up
turned points and stood rigidly at at
tention for hours while awaiting NJ.
Venizelos at the entrance to til hotel
or the foreign Office. The jiheS of
small boys and the jokes Of various
allied soldiers who gathered in Won
derment never seemed 10 OlSl.fO TIE
imperturbable Cretans.
Perhaps the most startling uniform
worn by one Of the guards consisted
of white tights bound by tasseled
black silk cords at the knees. red
velvet blouse and sash, red fcz sur
mounted by black silk tassel so long
that It fell below the waist, and black
sandals with upturned toes topped by
great black silk pompons. This cos
tune was completed by an fvory-han-
died knife two feet long thrust care
lessly into the sash.
The knives and swords worn by the
Cretans were the chief feature OF the
uniforms and made collectors OF an
tiaue weapons very envious. Tney
were of all sizes and shapes and hao
sheaths of great splendor, jeweied and
carved in q marvellous manner.
Some Of the guards were bare-kneed
and had costumes not unlike the
Scotch in style, but much gaudier IN
color. Others wore marvelously dec
Grated leggings reaching far above
the knees. Capes Of Oriental huea
we're frequently worn by the Cretans
and added to the brilliancy OF the
Greek uniforms, which made the fancy
dress uniforms Of the French ano
English look sOmber.

 ADVISES SINKING OF SHIPS
ROdman Says German Vessels Would
 Be "White Elephants" if Retained.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Destruction of all capital ships of the German navy surrendered to the allies was recommended to the House Naval Af- fairs Committee today by Rear Ad- miral Rodman, who commanded the American fleet in the North sea during the war. He said the German ships will not be needed, that they are of different types than those of the allies and that it would be a waste of money to pay to maintain them
 During the war the combined British and American forces have had such a predominating superiority over the German fleet that it dared not come out and fight us, Admiral Rodman said. < If that supremacy could be maintained when the German fleet was in existence, what would be the object in adding their ships to our force when the danger of their attacking us has been removed?'
 Ships Would Not Fit.
 "The expense of maintaining the ships would be enormous The types are entirely different from those of the British and American fleet. They are equipped with different guns and use a different kind of ammunition. The expense of making them corre- spond with ours would be almost pro- hibitive. r.I Furthermore, there is no object for the allies to keep them for pro lection. By the time Germany can build new ones and again become 6 competitor for the worlds largest fleet, those ships will have become oD- solete and would have to be thrown away anyhow"
 Admiral Rodm2n said the ships should be taken out in the North sea and sunk "so deep that they could never be found again. saying that if the allies kept them they would soon find that they '1have annexed a herd of white elephants.''
 The admiral thought all the sur rendered vessels except the capital ships should be kept. It would be foolish to sink the submarines, de- stroyers and light cruisers" he said, ''as they will be very useful for years to come. My belief is that ev- erything worth while in the German thing which can be dispensed with should be discarded
