The great rule of conduct for us in regard
to foreign nations is in extending our commercial
relations to have with them as little political con-
nection as possible. SO far as We have already
formed engagements let them be fulfilled with
perfect good faith. Here let us stop.
Europe has a set of primary interests which
to us have none or a very remote relation. Hence
she must be engaged in frequent controversies,
the causes of which are essentially foreign to our
concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in
us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the
ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or the ordi-
nary combinations and collisions of her friend
ships or enmitieS.
'Our detached and distant situation invites ana
enables us to pursue Il different course. II we
remain one people, under an efficient government,
the period is not far off when we may defy ma
terial injury from external annOyance; when we
may take such an attitude as will cause the neu-
trality we may at any time resolve upon to be
scrupulOusly respected when belligerent nations,
under the impossibility of making acquisitions
upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us
provocatiOn; when we may choose peace or war,
as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.
"Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a
situation? Why quit our own to stand upon for
eign ground? Why, by Interviewing our destiny
with that Of any part Of Europe, entangle our
peace and prosperity in the tolls of European am
bition, rivalship, interest. humOr or caprice?
ut is our true policy to steer clear Of perma-
nent alliances with any portion Of the foreign
world.
Taking care always to keep ourselves by suit
able establishments on q respectable defensive
posture, we may safely trust to temporary al
liances for extraordinary emergencies.
Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations
are ommen by policy, humanity and inter.
est. But even our commercial policy should hold
an equal and impartial hand, neither seeking nor
granting exclusive favors or preferences;
constantly keeping in view that it is folly in one
nation to look for disinterested favOrs from an
other; that it must pay with a portion of its in
dependence for whatever it may accept under that
character; that by such acceptance it may place
itself in the condition Of having given equivalents
for nominal favors, and yet Of being leproached
with ingratitude for not giving more. There can
be nc greater error than to expect or calculate
upon real favOrs from nation to nation. 1t is an
illusion which experience must cure, which a just
pride ought to discard"
The Monroe Doctrine dates from a declaration
in his seventh annual message to congress. The
Holy Alliance, formed in 1915 by Russia, Austria
and Prussia, was threatening to help Spain re-
cover control Of South America. Russia and the
United States were in controversy over the Pa
cifc coast boundaries. The nub OF the Monroe
Doctrine is in these two paragraphs:
SIN the discussions to which this interest (the
Russian controversy has given rise. and In the
arrangements by which they may terminate, the

Tho very first little frocks are sim

too useful and convenient Il garment
for that, and it can be made with
just az indication Of the new outline
In the way of Il tendency to drape
slightly ut the sides.
The coat and skirt Of the more
dressy or "dreSSmakery" order is be-
ing cut rather on Louis Nv lines. The
coats have Il decided fullness over the
hips, tlaring over the narrow skirts,
which, by the way, are not quite so
narrow or quite SO short as recently.
The real tailor-made suits, however.
pay no attention whatever to this
change of outline, but continue to be
built on straight and narrow lines.

Belts to Be Worn.

Following their introduction In
plain, conservative styles, belts de-
signed to be worn by women with
their coats or suits are now being de-
veloped In most novel patterns. Be
sides a variety Of feathers and imita-
ton feathers, stitching in different
colors Is used to add to the attraction
of these articles. Designs are also
worked out by cutting the facing.
Belts Of the sort described are found
on the majority of coats and
suits selling to the popular priced
trade, and during the coming spring
at least there is promised more Of a
vogue for belts for women than for
men.

The attorney geAera1 ex- amined half a dozen witnesses today, but made no statement as to what developments his opinion was based upon. Authorities let it be known. however, that new circumstantial evil dence implicated man in Browns killing and tended to show that this man left Mount Clemens in company with Brown at a late hour on the night the latter was shot to death.
 The proprietor of the hotel where Brown made his home and two guests were examined, presumably as to Browns movements on the day of his death. Late today Mrs. Cecil Vester. Miss Gladys Summit and Ben Sor- enson, a soldier, were questioned. Mrs. Nesper had previously given the authorities statement duplicating Lloyd Provost.

LOW NEcks.

If we survey the pictures of our great at-grandmOthers, We them clothed down to the very wrists, and up to the ver.- chins. The hands and faces were the only samples they gave of their beautiful persons.
 The following age of females made larger discoveries of their complexion They first of all tucked up their gar ments to the very elbow. and, notwith- were content. for the information of coldness of the air and injuries of the weather.
 About the same time, the ladies con sidering that the neck was very mod est part of the human body, they freed 1t from those yokes, in which the sim plicity of their erandmothers had en- closed it. In proportion as the age refined the dress sunk lower; so that when we now say a woman has a handsome neck, we reckon into it many of the adjacent parts.
 The above lines might have been written by us this morning after sec ing a girl on the street with neck ex- posed to the winter winds. But, to tell the truth, they were written in or about the year I'll by Joseph Addi- son, Englishman. in an essay entitled ''The Extension of the Female Neck"
 He had no use for low necks and thus was POS years ahead of our mod ern Up- With the Neck Crusaders.
