PRESIDENT WILSON ANNOUNCES
POSITION OF UNITED STATES
(By Associated Press. J

/ Washington, Aug. 27.-President
Wilson appeared before congress to
day in person and laid before the
world the details of the United States
efforts to bring about peace in Mex.
leo and the facts concerning Huerta's
rejection of the peace proposals, and
the policy to be pursued by this gov
eminent.
The president announced that the
position of the United States is as fol-
lows:
No armed Intervention.
Strict neutrality.
Forbidding the expectation of arms
or ammunition to any part of Mexico
from the United States.
Under no circumstances will we be
partisans of either party, or consti-
tute ourselves as a virtual umpire.
To urge all Americans to leave
Mexico.
To let every one in Mexico who as
sumes to exercise authority know that
this government shall watch closely
Americans who cannot leave, and
hold those in authority responsible
for their sufferings or losses.
Accompanying this was the reply
of the Huerta government, written by
Foreign Minister Gamboa, which sug-
gested the alternative policy of the
reception of the Mexican ambassador
at Washington; that the United
States send new ambassador to
Mexico without restraint; the strict
observance of the neutrality law, and
the unconditional recognition of HUI
erta.
This is the first time since the days
of George Washington that a presi-
dent of the United States has person
ally appeared before congress on
matters relating to foreign affairs.

THE TAMPA TIMES AND SENATOR
BRYAN

Some newspaper readers seem to
performance of its functions in mold
ing public opinion, takes issue on
some public measure or question of
party policy with those holding office
that the newspaper does so because it
is personally or politically hostile to
them when the attitude of the paper
is inspired by altogether different mo-
tives.
Along this line the Tampa Times
has been entirely misjudged because
| of its criticisms of Senator Bryan's
tilt with Postmaster General Burle-
son on his extension and enlargement
of the parcels post.
So we take pleasure in reproducing
in our columns what the Times says
in its own behalf:
'The Times desires to assure Sem
ator Bryan that the criticisms of his
course that we have written and pub
lished were not prompted by any
spirit of hostility to him, either per-
sonal or political; but, on the contra
ry, were actuated by a feeling Of duty
to our readers and the people gener-
ally to combat ideas that we regarded
as mistaken and mischievous, though
conscientiously entertained.
1.-THE senator's course in relation to
the enlargement and development of
the parcels post service is the only In
stance in his very brilliant career in
which he has disappointed our expec-
tations and gone counter to our ideas
of right
"Of course 1t is entirely superiuous
and unnecessary for us to convey as
surances that we have never enter
tanned for an instant the impression
that Senator Bryan was prompted by
a desire to serve the interests of the
express and railroad companies as
opposed to those of the people. We
believe now, as we have always be-
lieved, that his first desire Is to pro-
mote the welfare of the people though
we are in this instance satisfied that
he Is pursuing his end by mistaken
ways"

Or. cHAs. v. CHAPLIN ADDRESSES
SCHOOL HYGIENE CONGRESS
[By AssocIated Pressl

Buffalo, n. Y, Aug. 26.-Dr. Chas.
V. Chaplin, commissioner of schools
for the state of Rhode Island, was
among those who today addressed the
Fourth International Congress on
School Hygiene, now in session in
Buffalo. DIR. Chapin's subject was the
disinfection of school rooms, and he
spoke in part as follows:
1T is first necessary to inquire how
much contagious disease is really
contracted in school, and what is the
mode of infection. 1t is a common
belief that the schools are the princi-
pal factor in the spread of many con-
tagious diseases. Because scarlet fe-
yer and diphtheria are much less
prevalent during the summer and in
crease during autumn it is argued
that the increase must be due to
school attendance. 1t is however,
clearly shown by figures, derived
from various cities that there is no
real correlation between these diseas-
es and school attendance, but rather
between them and the seasonal tenn
perature.
while admitting that some cases
of scarlet fever and diphtheria, and
more of measles and whooping cough,
are spread in school, we have to in
quire how they are spread The dan
ger of drinking from a glass a few
minutes after its use by a child in
fected with diphetheria is very con-
siderable. The danger of one child
picking up virulent diphtheria germs
on its fingers from a stair rail or door
knob wherethey have been deposited
the day before is very much less, and
the danger of infection by breathing
in floating diphtheria germs derived
from saliva deposited on floors and
woodwork Is certainly nil.
"The way to prevent infection in
school is to teach personal cleanli-
ness. Abolish the drinking glass and
the towel used in common. Keep
careful watch of contagious diseases
and exclude them. Then, if it is de-
sired, though it is of little impor-
lance, the desk of the patient and
other things touched by him may be
thoroughly cleansed, with a disinfect-
ant if you will The fumigation. of the
school room is a concession to the
prejudice of the past.
