that the two governments were discuss

no court decision has defined whether

contention, as well as the doubt of the

OUTLINES THE
PROBLEMS NOW
BEING SOLVED
President Wilson Divulges
Some of More Important
Facts in Connection With
His Foreign Policy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-President
Wilson outlined informally today the
status of those problems of American
diplomacy which have been brought to
public attention by his recent confer.
euce with the senate committee on for
eign relations. He reiterated with en-
phasis that no Crisis was at hand IN
any of the questions he had discussed,
unless the Mexican situation could be
construed as in the nature Of perpet"
ual crisis, fraught always with the pos.
sibility Of sudden change or unexpected
developments.
In divulging some of the more i'm
portant facts concerning American for
eign policy, the president sounded a
warning against unwarranted specula-
tion in the press on foreign questions,
indicating that governments frequently
were embarrassed by unfounded re-
ports.
The president made 1t clear that
while he had taken up the relations
with Mexico, Japan and Great Britain
and the general arbitration treaties at
the same time with tho senators, these
problems were not grouped together as
having any bearing on the Mexican sit
uation. He regarded them as interre
lated only in so far as he wished the
senate foreign relations committee To
take them under consideration so as tc
form a Judgment on all of the points
involved

that the nation adopt a definite

was shown that II provision were

suit In 1920 would be fleet OF forty
eight capital ships. The auxiliary
ships to maintain a well-ba lanced
navy should, OF course. be provided
with each increase in capital ships.
This would not appear to be an over
ambitious building programme. The
general board later came TO recon-
mend as many as four battleships a
year The impression went abroad
that the general board stood for a
continuous programme of four ships
a year. This was wrong. The board
recommended this number OF ships
for given years, because the ships
provided in previous years had been
too few and the possibility OF each
ing the goal OF forty eight ships in
1920 depended on providing the great
er number at the time asked.

United States Lags.

II is not generally realized that
the United States is lamentably be-
hind in its construction of battleshlps
and that the navy has already been
placed In a position of inferiority DUR
Ing the past two years.
The general board now realizes that
Its policy OF forty-eight battleships
in 1920 will not be realized. II be-
lieves that a building programme that
will secure that result at the earliest
possible date should, however, be
definitely adopted. It recognizes that

Mexican Situation.

With respect TO Mexico, the presl-
| dent let il be known that the only set
| tied part of his policy at present was
| to continue the course Of watchful
| waiting, but that this was day day
conviction with him, subject to develop
| He has not made up his mind to lift
| the embargo on arms, but is considering
| arguments for and against such
| course.
The president pronounced as false
the report that the Japanese govern
ment was supplying munitions of war
to the Huerta government. This was
| Embassador Guthrie at Toxic, who
learned that one shipment of arms had
gone TO Mexico from Japanese COM
| mercial house, and that another con
signment was to be sent next February.
No Request Made.
The president made it clear that the
United States had never asked Japan
| or any other nation to restrict exporta-
tions of arms to Mexico, knowing that
| this government possessed no such right
under the law of nations, and that spe-
| cial legislation would have to be enact
ed by each country to prohibit CONNER
cial transac tions, similar to the joint
resolution of March IA, 1912, in the
American congress.
| The president believes that the for
eign governments are doing all they
can to show friendly spirit toward
the United States in the Mexican sit
| uation. The American government real
ICES that the Huerta administration has
plentiful supply Of ammunition and
arms, although most Of the rifles are
not in use, because the government has
no money to pay it's troops, and deser-
| tions arc many.
President Wilson was informed that
General Huerta is obtaining no funds
abroad, but is Giving on the country"
by forced contributions and increased
| taxes-a situation that is creating much
dissatisfaction in Mexico, according to
official reports here. The president dis
posed of queries in connection with the
visit of officers of the Japanese cruiser
Idzumo to Mexico City by letting it be
known that the American government
had not regarded it as differing in any
way from the recent trips Of British
and German naval officers to the Mex
| lean capital.

Sweet, solemn funeral services
were held over the remains of
Miss Anna Leigh Cady. on
Thursday afternoon at the fam
lily residence en- College street.
Hundreds of lips murmured a
soft blessing upon the memory
of this departed one, and the
universal thought is, how sad
that such a young life should
pass from earth.
When quite young she united
with the Methodist church and
has been a faithful and devout
christian worker in the Masters
vineyard.
Several weeks ago her physi-
clan told her she could not get
well, and she accepted this news
calmly, being perfectly resigned
to the will of Him who dOeth all
things well. For her the night
has passed, the eternal sun of
righteousness shines. Consola-
tion is a vain offering to those
sorrowing hearts she has left
behind, but true and genuine
sympathy must always bear
something of healing, and this
all her friends are Offering to her
sanity aunt, two devoted sisters
and other near and dear relatives.
The remains were laid to rest
in Friendship cemetery under a

Interpretation of this comedy
was educational and refreshing.
The characters were natural,
graceful and their enunciation
perfect. Music so necessary to
the proper development of this
love drama was rendered by
stringed instruments.
In the evening a large audience
was entertained by the never
failing wit and humor of "A

Players and audience together
were transplanted to that fairy
land where 0beron and Titania
reigns. The green back ground.
the dimly lighted stage and the
soft Mendelssohn music combined
to create an atmosphere in which
even "the tired business man"
could find relaxation without too
great mental effort.
Indeed "A Midsummer Nights
Dream" renews the impression of
the universatility of the genius
of Shakespeare. The play was
delightfully."- rendered by a well
balanced company. Ben Greet
played Bottom" with the ease
and skill of a finished actor and
with a zest which reveals his
full appreciation of the possibil.

est was added by the presence in

students who appeared with q
grace and simplicity which
speaks well for their training.
