MONRO[ DOCTRINE '« UNDER DISCUSSION American Academv of Science Holds Anpual Metting. NOTED MEN ADDRESS ASSEMBLY John Barrétt Declares Time Has Come For a “Pan American Poli —Rear Admiral F, E. Chadwick Terms “Latin America” a Misnomer. Philadelphia, April 3.—The pres- ent international relations and obli- gations of the United States is the general topic under discussion at this year's annual meeting of the Ameris can Academy of Political and Social Science, which began here today. The sesslons were opened with a discus- sion of the “present status of the Monroe Doctrine.”” The Mexican sit- uation, its problems and obligations will be taken up tonight, and at to- morrow’s sessions addresses will be ' ‘made on the policy of the United .States in the Pacific and on the ele- 'ments of a construetive American | foreign policy. John Barrett, director general of the Pan American Union presided at the opening session, and among the papers read was one by Rear Admiral F. E, Chadwick, retired. Pan American Policy, Mr. Barrett declared that the time had come for a “Pan American Policy” as a substitute for the Mon- roe Doctrine. “By that,” he said, “I mean a pols fcy acceptable to and approved by all the American republics, a policy be- longing to each and all on the same basis of attitude and action. Each nation should have the same sense of independence as the United States, the ‘same dignity of = position. * By _ eliminating the attitude of absolute dictation and centralized power a long step will be taken toward a new éra of Pan American comity and con- fidence.” The term *Latin-America’ is a mis- nomer as applied to the South Ameri- can republics, according to Rear Ad- mifra] F. E. Chadwick, U. 8 N., re- tired, who spoke on ‘“Berberic- America.” £ “The Spanish and Portuguese races to which the governing clasges In all the republics to.the gouth of .us: bezan as Berbers and remain e¢ssen- | tially Berber-Moor toddy, sgarcely changed at bottom from their rela. tions acress the straitg in Morocco and ihe Atias,” he said. “It 18 this lack of comprehension of what race character means. that canuses ‘our trouble,” he continued. “We do not understand the other man, and until we recognize our ignorance in this regard, until we accept ithe great fundamental specific tempera- ment and habit of thought end action, vle shall be unsuccessful in our re- 1#tions toward these brother repub- lics.” He declared that the Monroe Doc- trine no longer applied to South American states as it did when the Holy alliance in Europe threatened gn reduce the feeble provinces of outh ‘America to the dominion ot Bpain. “TQ apply this doctrine in the sense of standing by as a protector Is naturally an irritant to a people in whom pride is a predominant char- ecteristic,” he said. “We know that intimation of such an attitude does Thus if we desire friendship, good fellowship and kindly feeling, why hold to any attitude of irritation and prevent this very. desirable kindly feeling? 1 certainly can see no reason for it.” Suspicions Are Accentuated. Y.eopold Graham, of New York, pre- senting the Latin view, the Mon- roe Doctrine, said that the doubts and suspicions of the Latin republics as to the ultimate aims of the United States are accentuated by the extension -of the Monroe Doctrine to -ends never contemplated by its author., “It fs such incidents as those which have o:curred in Mexico, Nicaragua and in Colombia,” he sald, “That have led to a growing bellef In the supposed desire on the part of ‘the United Ftates. to establish a suzeraluty over some of the republics of Central and South America.” If the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 had | not expanded with the lapse of time or taken on new phases with the de- | velopment of new situations, sald John H. Latane, professor of history at Johns Hopkins University, it would long since have ceased to be of any value, for the exact situation that called forth the original declaration in 1828 can never again arise. Many Changes Occur. “The Monroe Doctrine is merely a name that Americans have given for ninety years to our Latin-American sity of things has undergone changes and will continue to undergo them.” NO MELLEN DEOCISION.

Qorreon Finally Falls Into Hands of Rebels Federals Routed from Stro hold By Vllla—Corpsa Fill Streets, ‘Wild Scenes in Juarez When News of Capture, Reaches Town—Officials Embrace Soldiers and Revelry Is Galore. Torreon, Mex., Via. Gomez Palacio, April 3.—Torreon, strewn with the dead and wounded of a six day bat- tle, was occupied by the rebels last night on the heels of the fleeing fed- erals. In all the fighting no foreigner was killed or injured. The taking of Torreon marks the climax of the first campaign of the revolution to oust Victoriano Hueita | from Mexico City. It gives the con-| stitutionalists virtual control over the whole northern tier of Mexican states. . Attack Began Friday. The fighting began last Friday, and was almost continuous. At first Villa attempted assaults on the strong federal positions in daylight, but thése proved costly, so the days were spent in cannonading and the nights in assaults. Positions were taken and lost time and again. Several night attacks sent the fed- erals scurrying from strong positions, but at daybreak the- captors would | be compelled to abandon them by the strength and accuracy of the enemy’s artillery fire, much of which s said to have been directed by French and | was of short duration. (DR, BRACKETT SICK, NoT TOLD OF FATHER'S DEATH Attending Physicians - and Friends Keep Bad News From Him. Because of his serious illness, Dr. W. W. Brackett of this city was not informed today when news arrived that his father, F. A. Brackett, prin- cipal of the Northeast school in Hart- ford, had died in Bristol. Dr. Brack- ett is ill with {yphoid and his attend- | ing physicians and “friends believed it would be wise not to permit him to know of his father's demise. Dr. Brackett's father died at home of Dr. A. S, Brackett, brother of the local physician. His fliness ! He arrived at | the home of his son in Bristol on onday and was taken 11l with heart | trouble. On Sunday he observed his | seventy-second birthday and 42 Clark street, Hartford. Mr. Brackett had been the head of vears and before that was principal of the South Side school in Bristol. His widow and three sons survive. is a son-in-law. It was stated today that while Dr. Brackett’s condition was not consid- ered scqious there had ®een no change German gunners. ; Losses Not Compiled. Losses have not been compiled, but General Villa estimates his own losses at 500 killed and 1,500 wounded, and the federal loss at 1,000 killed and 2,- 500 wounded with an unknown hum- ber of prisoners. Villa believes the federals whom his cavalry is pursuing to the south, forms but a remnant of the federal force, whose loss he says probably is close to being total. " All the subor- dinate generals have not yet report- ed, however, and until they do the number of captured cannot be ac- curately stated. The battle line was four miles long and the field was determined by three great hills. tormsd & carpenter’a 10,000 'Men tn Hach Army. There were about 10,000 men in each army. The federals had fortified the hills with rifle pits, trenches ang barbed wire entanglements, THe na- ture of the grounds made it difficult to recover the wounded and many of them died of thirst and hunger or lack of attention, where they fell. Automo- biles wére used in rescue work but they could not ascend the hillsides, Some of the flercest fighting oc- curred in the hills south of Gomez Palacio and west of Torreon. It raged with great fury in Canon De Huav/che where. the federals made their’ last desperate stand and -from which they finally fled, followed by a column of Villa’s horse. Twice the rébels took two of the hills, only to lose them, but all the time the at- tack was becoming more formidable as the soldlers, attacking from » all sides except the west, fighting from house to house, drew the circle clos- er aboit the enemy. A hundred small encounters oc- curred intermittently in the streets or over the possession of some fav- ored roof, but the roar of cannon was almost continuous. Armored Trains Used. Both sides used armored trains. These, with big guns mounted, would suddenly appear around an elbow of one of the hills, discharge a bread- side and then retire. Early in the at- tack on Gomez Palacio the trains ventured out at the same time and a lively exchange of shots ensued. The federals made use of. huge rockets, which were shot te a great height, exploding in the air and let- ting down a hail of buckshot. On the fourth day of the fight the intense suffering from. heat and thirst. wad relieved by a rain. Reinforcements Routed. During the battle scouts brought word that federal reinforcements from Monterey were approaching on the east. Gen. Herrera was sent against them and later reported that he had sent them scurrying inte the hills. The battle surged first into Torreon, then back to the railroad yards and ravines in the suburbs for two or three days. The Federals grew weaker each day in their fighting. Finally the fed- erals evacuated to the south and the rtbel- took possession of Torreon. Great supplies of food, ammunition | and artillery and stores of cotton fell into the rebel hands by the capture. Rebels’ Power Extended. Juarez, Mex., April 3.—With ,thé taking of Torreon by the rebels last night constitutionalists now control an ifmmense wedge-shaped portion of Mexico, with the point resting on Tor- reon, filve hundred miles south of here, and the top extending along the American border from Nogales, Ariz., to a point just west of Zagle Pass, Texas.

He says that statements contained in a letter written by George A Romans of Danbury relating to a gathering of cf s in New. Yodk city when Con- necticut state politics were discussed are in many instances untrue and mis- leading. “The mischief of politics - today,” 'said the doctor, “is the readiness of men to ascribe sinister motives to those who mctually seek to obtan the best government irrespective of per- sonal feelings or party lines.” He says that Colonel Ullman of this city, at.the New York gathering suggested no plan scheme or compromise of any party or parties, and if he d¢id considerable talking it was simply because he had ideas and knew how to express them.

Peer & Co., fire insurance agents at 183 Main street, would like to know the present residence of R. F. Merrill of Walnut street, who has been missing since March 24, as it is sald, he is short in his accounts with the company, by whom he was em- ployed. Merrill is married and, it is said, his downfall was caused by his desire to live where the lights were bright- est and life was gay. He had for- merly been employed by the Metro- politan Life Insurance company, but was discharged several months -ago by . Superintendent J. G. Harivel, as it was suspected that he had been short in his accounts with the com- pany, but had covered up his short- age so that it could not be proved against him. Peer & Co. engaged him as one of the firm was an old friend. Mr. Peer was rather geticent this after- jnoon when questioned as to how | much he had lost through his friend- i ship for Merrill qnd he declined to jdiscuss the matter. He did admit !that he had been the loser through | Merrill's shortcomings, but would not ; state to what extent. It is said ‘that others as well as Peer & Co. are looking for Merrill to have an accounting with him. ANNUAL Y. M. C. A.

MANY NEWFOUNDLAND ~VICTiMS Bellaventure, Bearing 58 Bodies and 35 Survivors of Ili-fated Vessel Nearing Port of St. Johns, N. F.— Preparations Made for Survivors, St. Johns, N. F., April 3.—There was growing apprehension today that the sealing steamer Southern Cross went down with all on board during the blizzard off Cape Race Tuesday. She carried a crew of 170 men and was heavily loaded with 17,000 seal- skins, trophies of a hunt recently con- cluded in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Hope_for the safety of the vessel, based on a despatch from Sydney, N. S.; which stated that a wireless message had been received there re- porting theé arrival of the Southern Cross at Channel, a little harbor to the westward of Cape Race, was dis- sipated before noon when the gov- ernment, after several hours’ inquiry, declared the Sydney report absolute- untrue. Search Was Instituted. Confirmed in its opinion, the gov- efnment instituted an extended search for the missing vessel, and appealed to the United States for assistance. The Reid Newfoundland company’s steamer Kyle, which has a good wire- less equipment, was chartered for the purpose and will sail at midnight. The American revenue cutter Seneca, which is doing iceberg patrol duty severa] hundred miles off the South- ern coast, was asked to assist. It wag expected that the Seneca would respond as soon as she received the necessary orders from Washington. The sealer Bellaventure, with her cargo of seal, is blocked in the ice 100 miles north of here and cannot arrive before Sunday. She went to the aid of her sister sealer, the New- foundland, when 120 hunters: from the latter were caught by the storm while killing seals Tuesday and were unable to regain their ship. Many Bodies Recovered. ! The Bella ‘the" "Stéphano, and’ Flerizel pldke \ly many bodies and a number of survivors. It is known that fifty-elght lives were lost and- some thirty ‘men "are not ac- counted for. It is believed that it is scarcely .possible that the latter could have survived the long exposure on the ice floes. Béllaventure Nearing Port. The Bellaventure, one of the seal- ing fleet, was nearing this port in the midst of another storm, bringing fifty- eight bodies and thirty-five survivors of the men of the Newfoundland who were overwhelmed by 6 the blizzard while hunting seals on the ice floes at some distance from their vessel. Sixty-four men are known to have perished and it was understood that the steamer Stephano, which, with the Florizel recovered six bodies and two survivors, also was on her way to St. Johns. After getting out of range of the wireless station at Cape Faggo, on Fogo Island, a third of the way down the east coast from the sealing grounds, the Bellaventure was unable to send further news of the disaster. Everything was in readiness here for the care of the bodies and the rellef of the suffering men who had escaped death, but had been severely injured by forty-eight hours’ ex- posure to the bitter wind and driv- ing snow, It was arranged to take the sur- vivors to the Grenfell Seamen’s In- stitute. Two Sealing Grounds. There are two distinct sealing grounds to which vessels of the New- foundland fleet make their annual trips. The steamer Newfoundland was with fourteen others of the fleet off the east coast, near the Strait of Belle Isle. The Southern Cross, with five other sealers, had been hunting the animals on the opposite side of the island, in the Guilf of St. Law- rence. Heavily laden with 17,000 seals, the Southern Cross started homeward last Saturday. She passed safely down the west ‘coast, through Cabot Strait and along the southern coast, and Tuesday morning was sighted off Cape Pine, nineteen miles west of Cape Race. Nothing* further was heard from her until the brief wireless message early today announced her arrival at Channel, and it was feared she had been wrecked in Tuesday’s storm, which raged throughout the island and did much damage along every coast. Blocked in Ice. When ninety miles from port the Bellaventure became blocked in the jce off Cape Bonavista, and at noon her captain sent a wireless message stating that it might be Sunday be- fore he could bring in the dead ana suffering sealers. Many of the res- cued sealers were reported so ill that the death list was expected to be in- creased before she made port. As the recently equipped wireless station for the sealing &teamers was partially wrecked in yesterday’s gale, communication with the Bellaven- ture was established today through (Continued on Eleventh Page.) PARCEL POST TO BENEFIT FARMER By Co-operating With Consumer the Profits of Middleman Will Be Lessened on Farm Products. For the benefit of the farmer and the consumer and with a view to do- ing away with the middleman in some instances, the postmaster general has arranged for a number of lists to be printed and disiributed. The postmaster at Boston desires to have the names of all farmers who want to send their products by parcel post sent to him. The local office been appraised of this fact. From these names he will com- pile a list and these will be dis- tributed to any consumers who may wish to use them. In this way the consumer and the producer can get into communication with each other and the sale can be made by parcel post, thus doing away with the profits of the middleman. "Any local farmers or any of those living in this vicinity who wish to take advantage should either com- municate with the postmaster at Bos- ton or else make known their wants to the lochl officers. They will in turn inform the Boston man who gets out the lists. MR.AND MRS. W.L. HATCH OBSERVE SILVER WEDDING Married Twenty-Five Years Ago Tomorrow in Sil- ver City. Mr. and Mrs. W. L.
