DRAMATIC PLEA PRESENTED FOR MONROE EDICT Lord Cecil Swings British Support to Wilson French Eenter Objections. (By Associated Press) PARIS, April 12. Discussion of the Monroe doctrine amendment by the League of Nations commission is described by those present as having been of a dramatic character, concluding with a speech by President Wilson deprecating the opposition which has been expressed and upholding the doctrine as one of the great bulwarks against absolutism. The debate came late in the session, after other subjects had been passed upon. The British attitude had been in doubt until the last, but Lord Robert Cecil turned the scales by announcing that he saw no objection to the amendment In the form presented by the president. M. Larnaude, of the French delegation, followed Lord Roberts with objections to inserting the Monroe doctrine. The president paid the closest attention to the opposition to the amendment, and jotted down notes for a reply. In his reply the president spoke with great earnestness and with some evidence of feeling. Bar to Absolutism. He declared the Monroe doctrine - was enunciated to combat the Holy Alliance, and to hold back the threat of absolutism which then was menacing Europe and seeking to spread Its absolute power to the Western Hemisphere. It served its purpose in having kept this absolute power from the Western world. One of its great purposes, he said, was to maintain territorial and political integrity, and, having served its great purpose In the Western world, it was being brought to the lands which had felt the band of absolutism and militarism. It was a source of surprise and discouragement, the president said, to bear opposition expressed to such a doctrine and such a purpose. The president's speech closed the discussion. There was no vote, and when there were no further remarks the chairman of the meeting said the amendment would be considered adopted.

Court Record s

Dye, on statutory grounds and the case of May Salnes against Robert Saines, which took up nearly the last half of the week, was continued.

RICHMOND DEBATER LEFT OUT IN DISTRICT DISCUSSION CONTEST

When William Haberkern, representative of Wayne county In the district discussion contest, and Shannon Neff, coach of the debating team in the Richmond high school, went to Fortville, Ind., Friday afternoon for the discission contest which was to have Been held Friday evening they found the event was over. The reason for holding the contest in the afternoon Is not known by Haberkern, Neff, the county chairman nor state officials. It has always been customary to hold this contest at night and Mr. Neff received a telegram from, the state officials Friday morning stating that Haberkern would be eligible for the contest and to go on to Fortville where the contest would be held Friday evening. Mr. Neff also received word from County Chairman Driver stating that the contest would be Friday evening. There has been some confusion as to who would represent Wayne county in the contest. Two other towns in the county besides Richmond entered the contest and the state officials did not understand that all had withdrawn but Richmond until a few days ago. This fact accounts for the delay in the word sent to Richmond that Haberkern would be an eligible representative. The blame evidently lies with tho Fortville officials in the belief of Haberkern and Neff, as both the state officials and County Chairman Driver were under the impression the contest would be held Friday evening. Fern Copeland of Rushville won first place and Joe Glasscock of Greenfield won second place in the contest. Mr. Neff has registered objections with the state officials but no action has been taken although Haberkern said this morning the problem would

probably be solved by sending both Haberkern and Miss Copeland to the state contest at Bloomington on April

The brassards can be obtained by any other relative for fifty cents when a shipment is received and should be applied for in advance, as a supply is not now on hand, Red Cross officials said today. As a symbol of relationship with an American soldier who had died for his country, the brassards are very appropriate. They are made from heavy black broadcloth, of splendid quality, and are embroidered with gold rope braid forming a service tstar. The whole brassard fits neatly around the left arm above the elbow.
