France Cheered i. S. Cargo Boat
By VAL J. OLDSHUE.

" LEvEN years ago this February
= % the Orleans. an American
cargo boat, dropped anchor In
IL the iaarbor OF Pauillac. France.
Other cargo boats in other days
had anchored there with no particular
significance being attached to their ar
rival. But TO the France OF those
early. stirring days OF 1877 the coming
OF the Orleans was Of great moment.
80 that the message. "L'Orleans est
arrive" flashed from Pauiilac on Feb
ruary 26. 1917. and displayed in bold
headlines on the front pages OF French
newspapers. electrified the nation.
Why the enthusiasm and publicity
over the arrival OF one small American
cargo boat--the Orleans was but 1000
tons or so-at time when France
was fighting for her very life? The
answer lies in the fact that France took
Ii as concrete evidence that The Ger

OF the world. had been successfully
defied. To France 1t seemed TO mean
even more 1t was harb!nger OF the
aid that was TO come 10 1t within the
next few months from the nation

II is doubtful IT, In the history OF
ships. the coming OF such an unfo-
mantle craft as freight boat was
ever so eagerly awaited as was that OF
this little American steamer. The

LEAGUE TO SHUN
MONROE DOCTRINE
Latin American States Must
Decide Issue Themselves,
Costa RIGA Told.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September Latin Amer
ican states must decide for themselves
the real meaning of the American Mon
roe Doctrine.
Such, in the opinion of League offi-
cials, is the cardinal point contained
in the reply which the League Council
tonight cabled Costa Rica's government
In response to Its expressed desire to
have the Councils Interpretation before
deciding the question of its return to
League membership.
The reply was made public today after
secret sessions lasting two days. During
this time the matter was discussed, at
times. 1t is known. more or less
heatedly
The reply is such that. according to
the opinion heard in League circles, in
cluding the views of Latin Americans,
the League has succeeded In adhering
TO the last to its determination neither
to wound American sentiment nor to
displease the Latin American states.
The reply declines to interpret the
doctrine on the grounds that 1t con-
Germs only states having accepted
among themselves engagements OF this
kind Then it emphasizes that the
covenant of the League as whole
confers upon all members equal obliga-
tions and equal rights. 1t is brought
out that inclusion In the covenant
of such engagements as the Monroe
Doctrine entails does not give them
sanction or validity they did not previ-
ously possess.
AS interpreted here 1t Is held that
the reply indicates that under the
Councils explanation any Latin Amer
ican state which might desire to sub
NIT difference to the League of Ma
tions need not be impeded by reason
of the Monroe Doctrine.
1t Is understood that the reply to
Costa Rica. which was cabled by Presi-
dent Procope to the secretary of state
for foreign affairs In Costa Rica has
also been cabled to the State Depart
ment at Washington. The Councils
agreement on the text of the reply to
Costa Rica. 1t Is believed, will have
the effect OF avoiding the subject.

Mrs. Van Wrinkle moved into the B

and has seen TO 1t that the building
