The bustling, eager, resour ceful Americans, full of pluck and nervous be daunted by a calamity even of such an energy, are the last people in the world awe-inspiring kind as a great earthquake. And where other nations have already succeeded, it may be confidently predicted that the success of the Americans is assured.

PAN-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA To-day's Advertisements
A Momentous Congress.
Secretary Root's proposed visit to South America next July. to attend the Pan- American Congress at Rio Janeiro, is being eagerly explained by the American newspa- pers. And this very eagerness to explain brings home the fact that the inscrutable Secretary of State is not publishing all his reasons for the projected trip. The obviou purpose is of course, to articulate more firmly, though not more formally, the Monroe Doctrine. As the United States never enters into formal alliances, the most that can be done is to cement the friendship with Brasil, for instance, so perfectly that the result will be an entente cordials almost tantamount to an alliance. As the Buffalo Express puts it:
>"It is not proposed that this alliance should be formal, though it is to be none the less strong on that account, and to Brazil is to be committed the immediate care of the South American republics. To the suggestion that Brazil does not fancy the Monroe Doctrine it is angworld that the Government wolcomes it, as it helps to maintain peaal in those regions of politico- volcanic activity. In fact, if the United States will help a little, Brazil is said to be willing to formulate & Monroe Doctrine of its own and to assume the formal guardian- ship of its sister-republics.",
In the meanwhile, adds The Bapress, Secretary Root will urge "the united support of the Mo. ros Doctrine uy all the nations of the word." Be antil that uni- versal recognition of the principle is assur- ed, it would be better, some believe, to have Brazil in South America strongly absorbing to the Monroe Doctrine than
for the United States to play a long hand. An attempt will be made, it is expected, to stimulate increase of the navien among the Latin-American countries. If the Monroe Doctrine is to prove effective in a piach, the Providence Journal points out, must be prepared To support it with ships and men," The Journal pursues :
