Two Ex-Secrefanes ofSfafe on Mr.. Wilson'S
Mexican Policy
lFrom the Wv York SUM

In Richard Olneys defence Of the
administration Of our foreign affairs
bv Woodrow Wilson the Massachu-
sets statesman declared the principles
that in his Judgment, should govern
our attitude toward the domestic poll
tics of Mexico and other nations. He
said in his paper
Apart, however, from the Difficult
ties and the enormous cost in life and
property OF such an undertaking
(pacifcation of Mexico by fcrce), such
a policy OF war and conquest IS at
complete variance with the principles
and ideals of our constitutional gov
eminent
"They require us to admit that Mex
leo is entitled 10 govern itself that
her people, like the other peoples Of
South and Central America, are en-
titled to go through all the processes
and experiences necessary for their
education and intelligent participation
in free government; while the proper
role of the United states is to abstain
from interference itself, to permit no
interference from any other quarter,
and to insure the solidarity Of the two
Americans by securing for our pur-
poses and policies the appreciation
and support of the Latin American
countries"
The same subject engaged the at~
tention Of Elihu Root in his Carnegie
Hall address last evening. Mr. Root
quoted from Mr.. Wilson's Indianap-
oils speech Of 1915, in which the Pres
ident. after saying it was none OF his
business" and none Of his auditors
business" how long the people Of Mex
leo took in determining who should be
their governor and what their gov
eminent should be, declared, 80 far
as my influence goes while am Presi-
dent nobody shall interfere with
them" He then exposed the essential
vice of Mr.. Wilson's management Of
public affairs in this fashion:
eff the President had adhered to the
policy which he thus publicly pro-
claimed the contrast might be less
shocking now between the appalling
conditions exposed in the letter of the
Secretary Of State June 20, 1870
which l have quoted and the untimely
merriment Of the Indianapolis speech.
But the Presidents action did not
conform to these declarations.
His actions and his words were
startlingly inconsistent
HE proclaimed watchful waiting
and he engaged in active interference.
And so, proclaiming impartiality
and respect for the right of Mexico to
settle her own affairs. President VIII
son interfered in the civil controversy
in Mexico. and finally interviewed by
force OF arms and destroyed one party
aud aided the other. and overthrow
Huerta, and set up Carranza and villa
in the control of government there"
In short. Mr. Wilson's acts in Mex
leo. were, in the opinion Of his apol'
ogist, Mr. Olney, at complete vari-
ance with the principles ana ideals OF
our constitutional government they
violated the policy Mr. Wilson pro-
claimed with such levity in his In
dianapolis speech. and in more digni-
fed fashion on other occasions; they
bewildered and confused not only
Americans and Mexicans but the peo-
pic OF every other country; they de-
MED his good faith and cast suspicion
on every announced purpose and plan
of American diplomacy under Mr.

GOOD WORK BY DELAWARE.

THE Delaware College football team has made

DR.. Butler Says New
Type Of University
Responds to Needs

Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. president
of Columbia university, addressing mem
bers of the University club at noon,
Nreferred to the new type Of American
university as an institution which is
progressive and responsive to the social,
political. economic and industrial prob
lens of the country.
This new type of university represents
the best ideas of the universities OF Ger
many, France and England. and has
broadened into an institution OF greater
catholicity than the universities of
Europe said the doctor.
Forty or fifty years ago our univer-
stiles closed their doors to branches of
learning which were taught in schools
of specialization. but gradually there
evolved an Institution where all the
branches OF specialized training were in
cludcd Some cities in England have
followed the American university idea
The spirit of our university is to render
service, to enlist men who are leaders
in thought, research and investigation
Our university is progressive in the very
best sense. 1t stands for scholarship of
the highest type" continued the Column
bia president.
DIR. Butler was introduced by Victor
Rosewater, who said he might in truth
introduce the speaker as financieT, edl-
tor and university president.

SAVE THE BABIES
THOUGHT OF WEEK
Baby Week" in Omaha is to Be In
augurated Saturday Along
Educational Lines.
SESSIONS AT THE COURT HOUSE

save the babies!"
"Baby's health. is nation s
wealth."
These and similar slogans are be-
ing carried into every nook and cor
ner of this vast country, for it is
baby health week" all over the
United States. Right here in Omaha
the observance begins today and will
extend over into next week, but that
is because the exhibit planned for
. this week couldn't be in Omaha and
Lincoln at the same time.
Why a Baby Week?
Because it has been demonstrated
that the business of being a baby is
a pretty hazardous occupation some
times under the supervision of care
less, incompetent or ignorant moth
ers and nurses.
Reasons for Baby Week.
Baby week was instituted for two rea-
sons: First, to give the parents Of a
community the opportunity of learning
the facts with regard to the care Of their
babies; second. to make known to COM
munity the Importance of its babies, the
special facts relating to their majesties
and the need of permanent work for their
welfare.
The movement originated with Mrs.
Percy Pennybacker, president of the Gen
eral Federation OF Women's clubs and re-
ceived the earnest cooperation of the
federal children's bureau. headed by Miss
Julia Lathrop.
How to send the appeal Save the
Babies!" into the greatest number of
homes where the need is urgent. is the
problem of the club women. The work
is principally educational. giving the par
,tents of the community an opportunity to
learn how to care for their babies One
point emphasized is that it is sound
economy to reduce sickness and death
among babies.
Every Phase of Child Life.
Every phase OF child life, prenatal in
fluences, birth registration, health, civic
and moral training, food. clothing, ques-
tainable inflences in child life-all this
field will be covered in the lectures which
will be given afternoon and evening at
the health exhibit, which will be held in
the Agricultural society rooms in the
court house from 10 a. m to 10 p. m. daily.
Representatives. from every wonlan's
club in the city will be on hand to act
as hostesses and explain any feature of
the exhibit
In its suggestions for Baby week OBJ
servance, the children's bureau lays spe-
cial emphasis ON the opportunity it af-
fords for extending permanent work for
infant welfare. such as infant welfare
stations. visiting nursing. special Nursing
and instruction for prospective mothers.
city inspection of milk. special work for
the prevention of blindness and little
mothers classes and home nursing in
struction for school girls in the upper
grades.

Captain Cushing of Company -, Eighth
Massachusetts infantry, to investigate
the reports. The bandits opened fire
from the building and adjoining out
houses. killing Wood and Private John
Twoney and wounding Sergeant Thomp-
son in the shoulder. Beane, fearing that
the Mexicans would escape the small
American detachment, called upon the
Carranza commander on the opposite side
of the river. He responded, and a score
of soldiers crossing into the United
States to cut off the outlaws retreat.
The incident marked the first time Car
rama troops have co-operated in pursuit
of bandits on American soil.
Private Sheain of the hospital corps,
who brought Sergeant Thompson to the
Fort Bliss hospital, reported to General
Bell that the Mexican troopers. 10 in
number, acted in a friendly manner to-
wards the Americans, took up a position
alongside them and helped keep a hot
fire against the hut. When the bandits
failed to return the fire the hut was
entered and three dead Mexicans were
found, Sheain said. The Carranza troops
took up a blood trail and followed 1t. but
the American detachment stayed on this
side of the river.
Twoney, Sheain said, bled to death
from wound in the lung. and Wood was
shot twice.
