WILSON DECIDES
FOREIGN POLICY
WHAT lat|n-Amerlcan Republics
May Expect
NO COMFORT FOR CASTRO ET Al

New President Practically Reafsirms
Ideas Of Ex-Fresident TAFT, and
Warns Professional RevoIutionist,
That Disorder 10 Not to Be Toll
Grated.
Washington, March 12.-Presiden,
Wilson has given the first indication
OF what are to be the foreign policies
OF his administration. He issued q
statement dealing with the relations
between the United States and the
countries OF Latin America.
Direct Thrust at Revolutionists. =.
The statement is practically a re-
affirmation of the Taft policies and
serves notice upon the turbulent ele.
ments OF Latin America that the
United States will insist upon law,
order and constitutional government
In the southern republics. The Will.
son statement is a direct thrust at
Castro, Zelaya and others understood
to, be plotting the destruction of ex.
listing governments in certain Latin
American countries. It is a severe
blow to the plans of those profession
nj revolutionists who had convinced
themselves that under a Democratic
administration at Washington license
would be permitted in Central Amer.
lea.
Mexico Must Wait Election.
The president undoubtedly issued
his statement chiefly for the purpose
OF disabusing the agitators of Latin
America Of any notion that the Taft
policies unfolding good government
In those countries would be repudi-
ated. But the statement has another
important significance. 1t is con
Strued as notice to the Huerta gov
ernment in Mexico City that the
United States will not recognize it
until It has itself received the in
dorsement of the majority of the peo-
pie In Mexico in a regular election.
There is found in the statement,
also, assurance to the business in
terests in the United States, who have
participated in business relations
with the countries of Latin America,
that they will not be disregarded by
the present administration.
"Dollar Diplomacy" Seen.
Mr.. Wilson asserts that one of the
aims Of his administration will be to
promote trade relations between the
United States and the countries OF
Central and South America. While
promising that such interest in trade
relationships shall not interfere with
the rights and liberties of the Latin
American countries, the belief here
Is that the practical application of
the Wilson policy will result in the
same support to legitimate CONNER
cial enterprises as they have enjoyed
under Republican administrations in
the last sixteen years. This support
to legitimate business enterprises in
foreign lands and the promotion of
trade relationships is nothing more
nor less than the dollar diplomacy"
which many Democrats, including Of
dcers Of the present administration,
and Democratic members Of congress
have repeatedly asserted would not
be part Of the new regime.

OF the General Founders Co. and
Fred Apps e Co. He has associated
himself with Mr.. Harrison Geer in
behalf Of the former concern and
Mr.. James d. May for the latter firm.
Reason for Flight
OF course, the reason for Apps
fight from the city Is plain. Apps
can be held liable for the stockhold-
ers of the General Founders Co. for
the disappearance of the money.
Apps still held large block of stock
of the Michigan State Life Insur-
ance Co. The stockholders natur-
ally would seize these holdings. So,
in anticipation of such action, Apps
sold his stock and vanished with the
money. How much money has been
sunk in the enterprise is not known,
except that the amount is close to
100000. All the books and papers
and letters of the sales department
of the General Founders Co. are
gone. Somebody removed them from
the office.
One word about the Michigan State
Life Insurance Co. This concern Is
in no way affected by Apps manip-
ulations. It's funds are intact and
1t is in excellent shape. Apps never
meddled with its finances. On the
contrary, the prosperous condition of
that company furnished him with the
only working basis for his subse-
quent schemes.

University, January 3-(Special. Ar
ter an illness lasting about a week Mrs
Amelia Gayle Gorgas, one of the most
widely known and beloved women that
Alabama has ever claimed. died here
this morning at 30 o'clock, at her home
ON the university campus in the eighty
seventh year of her age.
The passing of Mrs. Gorgas was not
entirely unexpected, though hopes of her
recovery were entertained almost until
the last. For several years the bodily
strength of Mrs. Gorgas has been fading
almost imperceptiby, though all her fac
ulties remained bright, and when cold
contracted about 10 days ago developed
into lagrippe, her condition was cecog-
nized as serious. However, she rallied
her strength, and it seemed as If she
would be able to overcome the alta elk.
Another change for the worse came,
and her strength was gradually over
come.
At her bedside at the time of her death
were her son, Mr.. Richard Gorgas of
Washington, and her daughters, Mrs.
George d. Palfrey of Franklin La, Miss
Maria Gorgas, Miss Jessie Gorgas and

more closely connected with the life
of their time than Mrs. Gorgas. Her
childhood was spent in the house of her
father, one of the early governors of
Alabama, her early womanhood in United
States army posts and in the capitol OF
the Confederacy, while during her later
years she was connected with two great
educational institutions, the University
of South Sewanee and the University of
Alabama. And wherever she held the
deepest affection of all with whom she
came in contact.
Mrs. Gorgas was born in Greensboro
June 1896 a daughter of the Honorable
John Gayle, who was governor of Ala
gama from 1892 to 1886. A part of sher
childhood was spent in Tuscaloosa in
the governors mansion. She received
her education at a famous old southern
school for young women in Columbia,
Tenn.
on December 90, 1858 at Mobile she
was married to Josiah Gorgas, a gradu-
ate of the United States Military aead-
emy and at that time a young officer
in the ordnance department of the army
who had a few years before served in
the war with Mexico. After their mar
liage the young couple went to Mount
Vernon, at that time an army post.
when the war between the states
broke out, General Gorgas resigned from
the service of the United States and Of
