FOREIGN RELATIONS is TAFT'S SUBJECT
Congress Is Told Of Improvements in Consular and
Diplomatic Corps and Good Results Of Un-
Gle Sans Efforts in Latin America.

of a war In Nicaragua: the hating OF
internecine strife in Honduras. The
government of the United States was
thanked for its influence toward the
restoration of amicable relations be-
tween the Argentine Republic and Boz
ltvia. The diplomacy of the United
States is active in seeking to assuage
the remaining ill-feeling between this
country and the Republic of Colombia.
In the recent civil war in China the
United States successfully Joined with
the other interested powers in urging
an early cessation of hostilities. An
agreement has been reached between
whereby the celebrated Tacna-Arica
dispute, which has so long embittered
international relations on the west
coast of South America. has at last
been adjusted. simultaneously came
the news that the boundary dispute
between Peru and Ecuador had entered
upon a stage of amicable settlement.
The position of the United States in
reference to the Tacna-A africa dispute
between Chile and Peru has been one
of on-intervention. but one of friendly
influence and pacific counsel through
out the period during which the dis
pute in question has been the subject
of interchange of views between this
government and the two governments
Immediately concerned. In the general
easing of international tension on the
west coast of South America the tri-
partite mediation. TO which / have re-
ferred. has been y most potent and
beneficent factor.
China.
In China the policy of encouraging
financial investment to enable that
country to help itself has had the re-
suit OF giving new life and practical
application to the open-door policy.
The consistent purpose of the present
administration has been to encourage
the use of American capital in the
development of China by the promo
tion of those essential reforms to
which China Is pledged by treaties
with the United States and other pow
ers. The hypothecation to foreign
bankers in connection with certain in|
dustrial enterprises. such as the HV
kuang railways. of the national revc-
nues upon which these reforms de-
pended. led the department of state
early in the administration to demand
for American citizens participation in
such enterprises. in order that the
United States might have equal rights
and an equal voice In all questions
pertaining to the disposition of the
public revenues concerned. The same
policy of promoting international ac-
cord among the powers having similar
treaty rights as ourselves in the mat
ters of reform, which could not be
put into practical effect without the

United States is two-fold. First. II Is
obvious that the Monroe doctrine is
more vital in the neighborhood of the
Panama canal and the zone of the
Caribbean than anywhere else. There,
too. the maintenance of that doctrine
falls most heavily upon the United
States II is therefore essential that
the countries within that sphere shall
be removed from the jeopardy involved
by heavy foreign debt and chaotic ma
tional finances and from the ever-pres-
ent danger of international complica-
tions due to disorder at home. Hence
the United States has been glad to en-
courage and support American bankers
who were willing to lend helping
hand to the financial rehabilitation of
such countries because this financial
rehabilitation and the protection of
their custom houses from being the
prey of would-be dictators would re-
move st one stroke the menace of for
eign creditors and the menace of revo-
iutionary disorder.

That was to appeal to the citizens OF
Wilmington for the modest sum of
S25. 900 and 100000 bricks to build a
hospital. I have been so inspired by
public sentiment in behalf Of this
movement that really II has been a
pleasure TO go among the people of
Wilmington and solicit aid for the
cause. The committee has distributed
10000 Buy a Brick envelopes, which
you have no doubt met in your travels
and the words Buy a Brick are on
everyOne's lips. We have sent per-
sonal letters to thousands of citizens
we have issued little Buy a Brick tags
to give away. but young America is
selling them contrary to our inten-

have offered to help US. and so far the
results are very gratifying indeed.

JRWflER SAYS
THESE MEN GOT
HIS $500 GEM

Charles A Rudolph, icweler at
Fourth and Market streets, this morn
ing identified photographs of Isaac
Kaufman. OF Philadelphia. and Harry
Gordon. of New York. under arrest
in Philadelphia on charges OF steal
ing diamonds there as the men who
substituted paste diamond in tray
in Mr. Rudolph's store last summer
for a diamond valued at $500 which
was stolen
Information that leads to the iden-
tiication was furnished to Mr. Ru-
rolph by THE EVENING JOURNAL
on Monday last and he requested
Chief of Police Black to secure pho
tographs OF the men under arrest IN
Philadelphia. These were received
by Chief Black this morning and Ser
geant Wardle showed the picture TO
Mr. Rudolph. who identified the pic
lures as those of the men who worked
the trick in his store. Mr. Rudolph
will have a detainer lodged against
the men so that when the Pennsyl-
vania authorities get through with
them. they can be brought here.
Acting on the same clue Elwood
Davis, son of Millard f. Davis, jew
eler who was swindled out of dia-
mond in a like manner went to Phil
adelphia but they were not the men
who operated in his store.
The arrest of the two men in Phil
adelphia was brought by Mrs Frank
Schuler. wife of a ieweler of No
4536 FrankfOrd avenue. who secured
a diamond ring valued at SS5 in place
OF a cheap one they placed in a tray,
while the wOman's back was turned
The substitution was discovered by
her and she caused the mems arrest.
According to the Philadelphia police
they have been working the game for
some time
A clerk in the store of Baynard,
Banks and Bryan this morning after
looking at the photographs said the
men had tried to work the substitu-
ton swindle in their store, but the
mems actions caused suspicion, and
they were not shown the tray OF
diamonds.
Chief Black says the men have a
string of other names by which they
are known to the police.

BIG STIR OVER
DINNER BOOST
OF SALISBURY
Democrats See Scheme Of

LEGISLATORS FREE,
OTHERS TO PAY 81

An impression gotten abroad that
the dinner TO be given by the Young
Mems Wilson Club on Thursday
evening is really a acknowledgement
boost Of Willard saulsbury's candi-
dacy for United States Senator has
caused big stir in the ranks OF the
democratic party This rupture is
aot confined to this city alone. as
many down State Democratic work
ers, as Well as those in Wilmington
are considering the dinner as being
obviously intended to boom the can
iidacy OF Willard Salisbury, who has
been invited as the guest OF honor
9n Thursday night. Some Democrats
are so unkind as to intimate that Mr.
Salisbury Is backing the dinner at
which he is to be idolized
More feeling has been caused. too.
BY the discovery that Democratic
members-elect OF the Legislature
have been invited as free guests
while other Democrats who attend
are to be taxed 81 a plate.
The subject is being considered
throughout the State and commenting
on the coming dinner the Dover
Index leading Democratic weekly,
says
Invitations are out for dinner TO
one OF the Senatorial candidates by
the Young Mems Wilson Club The
invitation to others than members
elect OF the Legislature calls for a
subscription of $500, but the invita-
tion TO the members elect omits this
subscription. The purpose Of the din
ner is too apparent and at this time
TO say the least, is in bad taste. Leg
islatiye members-elect who are not
pledged to the Wilmington candidate
win hesitate 20 ~leRd themselves to
this BOOSTING scheme. II is unfor-
tunatc that such an organization as
the Young Mems Wilson Club should
bo used i0r the purpose
The statement recently made 0y 1r.
