The other natlons of the Americin con- tinent properly resent such state- ments as Secretary Hughes unfor- tunately has seen fit to quote with approyal — from President Wilson: ‘That the Monroe doctrine was pro- claimed by the United States on_ her own authority. It always has been maintained and always will be main- tained upon her own responsibility.’ is OPERA GVEN WARM FAREWELLBY . . “ll Trovatore” Reflects Im- provement of San Carlo Company.
