ATTACKS MONROE
DOCTRINE POLICY
Argentine Writer Blses to Give the
United States Advice Would
Have Us Kenounee It.
Buenos Aires. Nov. IS. The Unit
ed States is ud vised to renounce the
Monroe doctrine and enter the
eague of nations. In an article by
Wenceslas Tello, formerly professor
of the United University of Buenos
Aires, published In La Razon today.
and entitled "Argentinism and Mon
roeism." The writer characterizes
'Monroeism" as "clear imperialism
the obfusion of a people in the
face of the twentieth century facts."
"With the convening of the league
of nations." he continues, "the North
American people soon will realize it
has no thinkers and no national
policy acceptable before the world.
It is not enough to say. 'America is
mine.' Japan coiuu say. mina is
mine. England could say, 'Half the
world is mine. France could pro
claim that. Switzerland and Belgium
belong to her.
With the existence of the league
it nations, the North American pro
tectorate over South American coun
tries is needed less than ever. Ar
gentinism is an expression of the
universal political desire to form a
Iramatic league of nations. Monroe-
sm is a gravf imperialism which no
nonarchial form of government
vould dare to proclaim and the
-nore so because of its impotency to
put it into practice.
"North America went into the war
for the liberty of the seas, but ch
ained the opposite result. It went
:nto the war to achieve the self-de-
ermination of peoples, but it has
ontradicted itself. It pursues a
jolicv of aggrandizement and
narches to its decadence unless it
'-.alts in time. And all this is for
'ack of thinking."
The author concludes -with this
uiggestion to the United States:
"Permit us to give you counsel to
enounce your Monroeism and you
vill have the friendship of Latin
Vmerica. Enter the present league
f nations in oroer to secure
your,
lwn fundamental democratization.
n this matter Argentinism will inin-
Tie with the North American policy
n homage to universal fraternity."
SERVES MEALS FOR 17 CENTS
New York. Nov. 19. Delegates to
the convention of the national hotel
association here could not believe
hat only fifteen minutes from the tip
if Manhattan tempting meals are
served for exactly l cents each, so
Frederick A. Wallis. immigration
commissioner on Ellis island, invited
ioubters on a tour of culinary in
spection, just to show how they do
;t on Uncle Sam's doorstep. A num
ber of the hotel men. who say they
ire intent on bringing down the cost
of tavern fare, accepted the commis
sioner's invitation, with the idea of
infusing some of the Ellis island
method into the conduct of their own
kitchens.
"For particulars," said the commis
sioner, "see MacGowan."
The secret of reducing the costli
iness of provender as it appears,
steaming and succulent, on the din
ner table, is a mystery, but Mac
Gowan, D. T. MacGowan. caterer on
the island, is on the inside. His ex
planation runs: "Purchases on a
lowest bid basis, quantity, production
and profits never more than 1.93 per
cent on the monthly investment; re
sult, 17 cent dinners."
And when someone interposed that
MacGowan "couldn't serve a 'regu
lar meal for 17 cents," he exhibited,
as a sample menu, the following:
Breakfast: Rice with milk stewed
prunes, bread and butter and coffee
with two lumps of sugar to the cup.
Dinner: English beef soup with
barles. Irish stew with vegetables,
tapioca pudding and coffee.
Supper: Lamb hash, green pep
pers, bread and butter, blackberry
jelly, coffee and tea.
READY TO BID ON RIO GRANDE
Denver, Nov. 19. Several pros
pective buyers tonight had filed the
required security to make them eligi
ble to buy in the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad properties at the
foreclosure sale here at noon tomor
row. Other than that the Western
Pacific railroad was one of the bid
ders, the identity of the bidders was
not made public.
The sale will take place on the
steps of the company's freight depot
here under the direction of William
A. Jackson, special master. United
States court of appeals denied the
application of a stockholder's com
mittee. The sale is to satisfy a mortgage
of. some $36,000,000 held hy the
Bquitable Trust company of New
York, representing the bond holders
of the old Western Pacific railroad;
the bonds of which -were guaranteed
by the Denver & Rio Grande?. A cur
ious anamoly is the effort of the re
organized Western Pacific railroad
company to buy up the road which
had underwritten the obligations of
its predecessor.
A court order provides that not less
than $5,000,000 can be bid at tomor
row's sale.
In addition to the railroad proper
ty, right of way, equipment and sta
tions, a long list of securities held by
the company are included in the sale.

Let TH Resume Throne
Stands Upon Treaties.

must conclude with Serbia a lasting
agreement.
"Concerning Asia, we will hold out
for restitution of Greek territory, and
eventually we will succeed in arriv
ing at such relations with Turkey
as will put an end to the massacres
of Greeks in Asia Minor.
"I always have tried to establish
friendly collaboration with Ilumania
and Turkey, and still maintain that
our efforts should be united. But
jn order that this may be done. Tur
key must accept the accomplished
fact rreated by the Sevres treaty
"We shall keep the letter of the
treaties just signed."-
Referring to the situation created
by the defeat in the elections of
Premier Venizelos. Constantine is re
ported to have said:
"I can count upon the sympathy
of Italy. And England itself, if It
desires, will find in me as faithful
a collaborator as my former premier.
Regarding France, when the whole
truth is known, she will find that I
never wished to break with my fath
er's traditions."

ENGINEER SAYS
IT HAS NO EQUAL
Had to Use Two Canes to Get Around
Before Taking Tanlac, but
Rheumatism Gone Now
"I made a statement soon after
Tanlac set me right two years ago.
and as 1 am still enjoying fine health,
I want to go on record again, this
time to let my friends know how
thoroughly the medicine did its work
for me." said Cornelius O'Connor, of
1312 Q street, Lincoln, Neb., a few
days ago. '
Mr. O'Connor, who is now retired,
was a locomotive engineer for thirty
two years. He helped to construct
the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy
and for a long time pulled passenger
trains number 1 and 2 over this
road between Omaha and Lincoln.
"Before 1 took Tanlac." said Mr.
O'Connor, "I had suffered from rheu
matism for six years. My legs were
so lame and painful that I had to
use two canes in order to get about
at all and the joints in my arms aud
hands ached so bad I could hardly
htand It. 1 was in perfect misery
lor uays at a time arm nau iosi
.strength until 1 couldn't get as far
as one block without stopping to
rest. 1 tried everything 1 ever heard
of for rheumatism, but nothing
helped me a pat tide.
"One day an old railroad man
and friend of mine told me how
Tanlac had helped him and advised
me to give it a trial. Well, I have
felt thankful a thousand times that
I took his advice. Before I finished
the second bottle my pains had eased
up so I could get around better.
While on the third bottle my im
provement was especially noticeable.
My pains left me and I was walking
better and gaining strength every
day. I just kept taking Tanlac and
improving right along and in the
following Spring I went to the coun
try on a fishing trip. On starting
home I left my walking sticks at a
farm house and have never needed
them since for I have had no signs
of rheumatism to this good day. I
have trained twenty-four nounds in
weight since taking this medicine
and feel fine in every way. 1 don't
believe there's an equal of Tanlac
i nd it's always a pleasure for me toi
recommend it.
