NATIONS WON'T
INTERFERE WITH
j. S. DOCTRINES
Danger of Encr0achment on
Monroe Doctrine Held
Definitely Averted

Geneva, Nov. 16-All danger that
the assembly of the league of nations
may encroach on the Monroe doctrine
by considering American questions in
the absence Of the United States has
been averted by the withdrawal of Il
request of Bolivia and Peru for revi-
sion of treaties with Chile. Their re-
quests were withdrawn yesterday, it
having been Bolivia's purpose TO gain
access to the sea and Peru's to secure
reconsideration Of the Tacna- AFRICA
question. ..
1t is not expected that any other
American questions with dangerous
possibilities will come before the pres
ent session of the assembly.
It is reported that South American
delegates have agreed the league Of
nations should do all it can to get
the United States to become a mem

A small portion OF the hail losses
Of 1920 will be paid before January |,

counties have been certified, Ward,
Williams and Wells These were in

counties.
There are about $4,000 warrants to-
be written this year, as compared to
1900 last year. We will get the work
out as quickly as possible after we
get the warrants, but because the
legislature reduced the appropriation

CABLE QUESTION

Washington, Nov. 16.-The long
standing controversy between the

ed the state Of an open break, the

partment and ostensibly to apply to
all departments of the government
1t was understood, however, that
messages sent by other departments
had been excepted informally from
the ruling.
The Western Union company is stat
ed to have based it's action on the
delay by the department in making
payments on cable messages previous
ly handled. Department officials as
serted today, however, that it was in
their opinion step in retaliation for
the failure Of the department to per-
nit a landing of a cable at Miami,
Florida, connecting at Barbados, with
a British cable from South America

Several months ago the Western
Union applied for an executive permit
to land the cable at Miami but the
state department was said to have
demanded copy of the contract be
tween the Western Union and the
British company owning the British
South American connecting cable line.
The copy was not forthcoming and
the state department refused permis
sion to land the cable. Later the
British government ordered the Brit
ish ship to discontinue laying the ca
bic. A copy of the contract was fur
nished.
Miami, Fla, Nov 16.--The Western
Union Telegraph company has recall
ed to New York the IS cable opera
tors and test men who had been herr
