Ilrazil, Feb. .V The t'orreio de Manha in a leading editorial on Pan-Americanism says: "President Vilsun has intervened in the Kuropean war and thereby bro ken down the narrow limits ot" the .Monroe doctrine, lint there is noth ing in this act which is inconsistent with the traditional policy of Amer ica. The war has entered a new pliaw, in which no nation will be able to remain isolated. In this ijrnupin of powers our place is at the side of the Pnited States. Our destiny lies with the ;rcut republic of the north. It is to be expected that the troubled times to come will result in realization of the Pun-American ideal." SAhlJM, Feb. ii. Oregon is with President Wilson in the present cri sis, according to a telegram sent by Governor James Witltyconvbe to the nation's executive. The telegram fol lows: "Yon may depend upon it tiiat Oregon will. stand patriotically with you in any national crisis that may arise. Now is a time for the exer cise of sane, sober judgment on tho part of the American people. Dur ing a crisis like this, agitation and excitement should bo deprecated a"nd the people should preserve, as far as possible, a cool, normal attitude. I am particularly hopeful that the American press avoid hysteria. It is no time for jingoism." TIIK HAGi"!-:, Feb.

Consequently the German threat would remain without effect." DKS MOINFS, Tn., Feb. ..Gover nor W. P.

The tension created here by the crisis be tween the Puited Staves and Ge.many has restdted in a sttcntheuini.' and tiiJiU'iiin-r of una rd lines about all government property and privately owned munition plants. Plant-, of tremendous military im portance are located in ami near this city, im-ludinir the Prankford and Schylkill arsenals and the hi arma ment plants that are turning out thousands of tons of war materials. All of these places were under heavy irunrd when the ates opened today. The battleships Missouri and Min nesota are said to be practically ready for ten duty, as is the cruiser Wisconsin. The battleship Ohio and the destroyer Paulding will be ready in a few days, it is said.

The Manches ter Guurdian believes that President Wilson has already received assur ances that other great neutral pow ers will follow the lead of the United Slates. "The, United States," says tlie Guardian, "takes her fitting place to day as the greatest of the nenlral powers and their leader. 'I take it for granted,' said President Wilson, Mhat all neutrals will take the same course.' lie would hardly have made such n statement without authority. If other powers, notably, we suppose, practically the whole of the Mowers of South America; should join (he Unit ed Slates in this step there is a strong probability that they also will join in the next and decisive one of entering (side bv side into the war." MERLIN. Feb. :.--United State Ambassador Gerard has prac.th ally decided to return to the United Stnlt from a Spanish port.
