French Fleet May Bring
War 10 American Waters
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, July 5.-Brit-
aims use of force to seize French
warships raises afresh the possibility
that the war may be carried again
into American waters.
The French Navy which through
out most of the war handled a Sec
ton of the South Atlantic patrol
from the bulge of Brazil north
ward, has a West Indies base at
Martinique.
The number of French vessels
there now is unknown, but some in
formed sources say the cruisers
which had maintained patrol and
convoy duties off Brazil likely have
sailed for Africa, perhaps leaving
only small escort vessels as the only
ships now based in the West Indies.
If that be true, it appears the
British would be unlikely to risk
offending American nations by at
tacking Martinique.
On the other hand, say these same
sources, if French cruisers, subma-
rines and other important units are
still in Martinique it is reasonable
to suppose the British may attempt
to take them over despite the
neutrality zone.

". P. A. Increases July
Enrolment by 43,447

Col. F. c. Harrington, Works Prof.
ects commissioner, today increased
the July enrolment authorization
for the w. P. A. by 43,447 over the
actual number carried on the rolls
as of June 26, the last weekly sum-
mary for the 1910 fiscal year.
The increased authorization was
based on relief appropriations for
the 1910 fiscal year which Col. Har-
rington said would make it possible
to jump the enrolment to 100000
next winter.
The w. P. A., he said, would enroll
1,709,90O in July, compared with L.
665 553 as of June 26.
The new relief bill carried $975,-
$4,000 which the w. P. A. may
spend in eight months. This amount
would finance a 100000 peak en-
rollment, the top figure carried on
the roster during the past fiscal
year.

Senator Clark 10 Oppose
Knox and Stimson
By the Associated Press.

oS tuc Associated PreSS.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Idaho.
said today he would oppose conflr-
nation of Henry L. Stimson as
Secretary of War and Frank Knox
as Secretary of the Navy because
he believed placing two aging,
wealthy politician interventionist in
these positions" was "a travesty."
Senator Clark said in statement
that if the President had designated
two outstanding, vigorous execu-
tives who happened at the same
time to be Republicans to take
charge of the Army and Navy and
Air Force of the United States, I
would have approved it,"
when, however he selects two
outmoded men, one 70 and the
other 66, whose chief claim to fame
has been as more or less successful
political manipulators and war
propagandists," Senator Clark said,
"and places them in charge of all
the defenses of our country at
time like this, then I for one, shall
not be a party to it.
Both Knox and Stimson are rich,
old reactionaries of the first water.
They have both publicly advocated
American interference in Europe's
war and as Secretary of War and
Navy will be in an excellent position
to bring about that intervention
and ultimately plunge us into war"

U. ). Not 10 Relax Rules
On Entry Of Canadians
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AUGUSTA. Me. July 5.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt notified Gov. Lewis
o. Barrows today there could be no
relaxation of the new regulations
affecting the entry of Canadian
citizens into the United States.
The Governor had asked the Pres
ident for 24-hour regulation to
permit ordinary transactions in the
border towns, which, under the old
regulations, served thousands of
Canadian citizens.
1T has been considered necessary
in view of the critical international
situation" the President said, in a
telegram to the Governor, "to insti-
tute close supervision over all aliens
entering the United States, requir-
ing them to obtain passports from
their governments for the purpose
of establishing identity and nation
ality and to obtain visas from
American Consuls."
Complaints on the new regula-
tions, which prevent Canadians
from crossing the border to shop in
Maine communities without pass
port, have been received by the
Governor.
"The desired results could not be
obtained" the President continued,
If aliens entering across any one of
our boundaries should be exempted
from this requirement. I regret to
have to say that it will not be
possible to exempt Canadian citizens
or other aliens from the require
ment deemed essential for the de-
sired close supervision over the entry
OF aliens into the United States"

Experiments
Find New Source Of

Two Johns Hopkins
Doctors Report on
Research Discovery
BY the Associated Press.

by t4C ASSUSldbtu EIeSS
BALTIMORE, July 5.-Evidence
that infantile paralysis invades the
human body through more than one
door" was reported today by two
Johns Hopkins Medical School doc
tors.
The virus disease, in monkeys and
man, leaves pattern of inflamed
tissue along nerve tracts forming
its path in the brain to the spinal
cord, where it produces paralysis.
This pattern" indicates by what
portal or door" the disease entered
Discovery of the portals is an i'm
portant step toward preventing the
disease.
The general assumption has been
that infantile paralysis-polomyei-
tis-was contracted only through the
olfactory nerve or nerve of smell"
in the nose.
But these studies indicate it can
readily start somewhere in the ali
mentary tract between the mouth
and inteStines.
The technique was developed by
Drs. Howard A. Howe and David
Bodian, experimenting on chimpan-
zees-which get poliomyenties by
contagion, like human beings. Virus
used was obtained from diseased
patients.
Some chinpanzees were given the
disease through the nose. In others,
the olfactory tract was first cut.
and the virus placed into the mouth
or stomach.
When it entered by the nose, the
virus progressed through the OIL
factory nerves from the front of the
brain back to the spinal cord.
But in the other animals, it
reached the spinal cord by a diff
ferent route. A similar pattern"
is left in the human nervous sys-
tenn, the doctors said.
The evidence so far from hu-
man cases, and the high incidence
of poliomyelities after tonsillectomy.

tory portal is still possibility"

Nazis Claim Sinkinu
Of 1M,543 Tons Of
British Shipping
Three Submarines Alone
Credited With More
Than $1,000 Total
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, July 5-Recent German
sea raids have sunk British mer-
chantmen totaling 106,543 tons, the
high command reported today. as
the government was informed that
the Nazi wedge between Britain and
France had completely estranged the
former Allies.
The toll on British shipping, which
also included warships and mer-
chant ships reported hit, was divided
among Nazi forces on the sea, above
and beneath it.
Three submarines alone were
credited with having sent to the
bottom recently 34,400 tons, 31,l00
tons and 21,043 tons apiece. One of
these, commanded by 1t Capt.
Liebe. was said to have sunk a total
Of $4,000 tons of enemy merchant
shipping since the start of the war.
Four 5,000-ton transports sunk,
nine others and warship damaged
were reported by the high command
as victims of Nazi dive bomber units
raiding convoy off the English
southwest coast.
Stabs by German torpedo boats
off the coast southwest of Portland,
British naval base, were said to
have registered torpedo hits on two
armed British steamers, the $500
ton Hartlepool and the 6,900-ton
British Corporal.
Besides that" it said. they shot
one tapker of 10000 tons and one
armed merchant ship of 5000 tons
out OF their convoy. The vanguard
OF the flotilla succeeded in destroy
ing an enemy submarine off the
Norwegian coast"
The communique also said:
In the course of yesterday and
last night the air force bombed in
England port facilities, airports
and armament industry plants.
British planes on July again
carried out several flights over Hol-
land, Belgium and Northwestern
Germany under cover of low-hang-
Ing clouds. On the night of July
4-5, they entered Northern and
Western German regions.
"Militarily important targets were
not attacked, however, apartment
houses, farms, ETC., we're damaged
or fired by bombs and several civil
ianS killed.
Six enemy planes were bagged in
air fights by anti-aircraft. During
a renewed raid on Kiel one enemy
plane was shot down by the Navy's
anti-aircraft artillery. Two of our
own planes are missing"

to take over any of the French,
Dutch or British territories in the
New World.
Mr.. Hull did not refer directly to
the speech by japanese Foreign Min
lister Arita last week, outlining what
was widely interpreted as Monroe
Doctrine for Asia" and insisting that
Japan be given free hand in
stabilizing the Far East.
Policy of Self-Defense.
The Secretary obviously had this
In mind, however, when he said that
the Monroe Doctrine contains
within it not the slightest vestige
of any implication, much less as
sumption of hegemony on the part
of the United States. It never has
resembled, and it does not today re-
semble, policies which appear arising
In other geographical areas of the
world, which are alleged to be SINH
lar to the Monroe Doctrine, but
which, instead of resting on the sole
policies of self-defense and of re-
spect for existing sovereignties, as
does the Monroe Doctrine, would in
reality seem to be only the pretext
for the carrying out of conquest by
the sword, of military occupation,
and Of complete economic and po-
ltical domination by certain powers
of other free and independent peo-
ples.'
Mr.. Hull denied the German con-
tention that his Interpretation of
the Monroe Doctrine would amount
to comforting upon some European
countries and denying to others the
right to possess territories in the
Western Hemisphere.
The Monroe Doctrine" Secretary
Hull said, has, of course, not the
remotest connection with the fact
that certain European nations exer-
else sovereignty over colonies in
the Western Hemisphere and that
certain other European nations do
not. This situation existed before
the Monroe Doctrine was pro-
claimed
Aimed to Prevent Aggression.
'The doctrine did not undertake
to interfere with the existing sit
uation but did announce that fur
ther incursions would not be toll
Grated. 1t made clear that the
future transfer of existing possess
sion to another American state
would be regarded as ininical to
the interests of this hemisphere"
In announcing that he did not
consider it worth while to reply to
the German note on the subject, Mr..
Hull said: THE fundamental ques-
tions involved are entirely clear to
all of the peoples of the American
republics, and undoubtedly as we'll to
the majority of the governments
and peoples in the rest of the world"
1.-THE Monroe Doctrine" he said,
'is solely policy of self defense,
which is intended to preserve the
independence and integrity of the
Americas. 1t was, and is, designed
to prevent aggression in this hemi-
sphere on the part of any nom
American power. and likewise to
make impossible any further ex-
tension to this hemisphere of any
non-American system of government
imposed from without"

The Senate recessed for the week
end after an eight-minute session
today and made ready for a floor
fight Monday over President Roose-
velt's nominations of Henry L. Stim-
son to be Secretary of War and
Frank Knox to be Secretary of the
Navy.
Democratic Leader Barkley told
reporters he thought that the two
Republicans would be confirmed by
a substantial majority, but I'VE will
have to listen to some speeches first"
Another matter for the Senate
next week will be action on the
"a 100000 naval expansion bill.
Both House and Senate have ar
ranged schedules light enough to
permit recess from next Thursday
to July % for the Democratic Ma
tional Convention.
The House, scheduling minor leg
islation for Monday, may call up
Tuesday the Senate-approved Hatch
bill forbidding political activity by
State employees whose pay comes in
whole or part from Federal funds.
There was possibility, however,
that debate on this legislation might
be deferred until after the Demo-
cratic convention because of the
absence from Washington or many
members.
House and Senate action on Pres
1dent Roosevelt's expected request
for an additional $5,O0O,0O 900 for
defense is not anticipated until after
the convention.
Similarly, the excess profits tax
legislation which the President has
urged is not expected to be ready
for floor consideration until late
this month.
