WASHINGTON. March u-Presi- dent Wilson tonight issued this for nal statement of his policy toward the Central and South American re publics:
 The chief objects of my adminis- tration will be to cultivate the friend ship and deserve the confidence Of the sister republics of Central and South America and to promote in every proper and honorable way the interests of the common people of the two continents. 1 earnestly de- sire the most cordial understanding and cooperation between the people and leaders of the Americas. and therefore deem it my duty to make this brief statement:
 "Co-operatiOn is possible only when supported at every turn by the processes of a just government based upon law and not upon arbitrary and irregular force. We hold as sure all thoughtful leaders of repub- T. lican government everywhere hofd. that a just government rests always with the consent of the governed ana that there can be no freedom With 1 out order based on law, public con | science and approval.
 We shall look to make these prln- ciples the basis of mutual inter- course. respect and helpfulness be- | tween the sister republics ana our selves.

BOAT EXPLORES
DAYTON TRAGEDY

DAYTON, OHIO, March 27.-The first
motorboat launched in the strange wa
tiers to tour the flooded district was in
charge of E. G.. Mcconnell, of Cincin-
natl, who was accompanied by a guide,
a physician, two police officials and a
reporter.
The first trip was made primarily for
the purpose of getting the lay of the
ground, determining the points where
the greatest good could be done, and to
assure the surviving imprisoned suf-
ferers of the certainty of their early res
cue. The crew confined itself to the
administration OF temporary relief in
cases of dire necessity and where it
was a question Of life or death There
were piteous and pathetic appeals for
instant succor. but for the reason OF
accomplishing the desired purpose Of
the initial trip they were disregarded.
but all were made to feel certain that
the release from their long and hideous
imprisonment was near at hand.
The survey made on this trip served
to dispel the faintest suggestion that
the seriousness Of the situation had
been exaggerated. The area devastated
by fire is broader than was at first be.

ever, was that Of a woman and an hour

Some Of the people released by the
steady drop of the flood lived near the
fire zone and many said that the fire
had been a big one and that it was
still burning. William Riley former

Gale Sings Funeral Dirge of Dayton
Victims Hopes.

DAYTON, OHIO, March 27.-The
third night of Dayton's devastation was
a battle Of humanity against the ele-
ments seemingly bent on the destruc-
ton of life. The glare Of the bonfires
on the shores of the raging torrents
was dimmed each second or two as
flashes Of lightning split the heavens
and lighted up the scenes Of desolatiOn
in the flooded district.
Thunder rolling from the far dis
tant clouds to what seemed within a

ton the heart -rending cries for help
came mournfully to those on shore,
growing fainter as the night pro-

When the call of the women and chill
