WILSON S POLICY
Nonintervention and Neutrality
Toward Mexico.
TO PROTECT ALL AMERICANS
President Message Declares Fighting
Factlonltta Are to Be Held to
Strict Responsibility for Safe
guard of Foreigners
Americans Urged to
- ' Leave.
Washington, -D. . C, Aug. 28. Presi
dent Wilson appeared in person be
fore congress and laid bare to--the
world the details of this nation's ef
forts to bring about peace in Mexico,
the facts concerning Huerta's rejec
tion of the peace .proposals and the
policy to be! pursued by this govern
ment. The massage was distinctly specific
in tone and'-contaiiis little in the way
of recommendation for future policy
except the single on e that this govern
ment must urge earnestly that all
Americans should leave Mexico at
once and that the United States
should assist them to get out of Mexi
co In every way possible.
The president counsels delay before
further action is taken, and says:
Impatience Would Be Childish.
"Impatience on our part would be
childish and would be frought with
every risk of wrong and folly. The
door is not closed against the resump
tion, either upon the initiative of Mex
ico or upon our own, of the effort to
bring order out of the confusion by
friendly co-operative action, should
fortunate occasion offer.
"So long as the misunderstanding
continues we can only await the time
of their awakening to a realization to
the actual facts. We cannot thrust
our good offices upon them. The situ
ation mast be given a little more time
to work itself out In the new circum
stances, and I believe that only a little
while will be necessary. The circum
stances are new. The rejection of our
friendship makes them new and will
inevitably bring its own alterations in
the whole aspect of affairs. The actual
situation of the authorities at Mexico
City will presently be revealed."
Powers Gives U. 3. Moral Support.
President Wilson's message is unex
pectedly brief and closes with the
statement that several of the great
governments of the world have given
the United States their generous moral
support in urging on the provisional
authorities at Mexico City the ac
ceptance of our -proffered good offices
in the spirit in which they were made.
The president relates the circum
stances leading up to the Lind mission
and all the facts in connection with it.
Text of President's Message.
The message follows:
"Gentlemen of the. Congress: It is
clearly my duty to lay before you very
fully and without reservation the facts
concerning our present relations with
the republic of Mexico. The deplora
ble posture of affairs in Mexico I need
not describe, but I deem it my duty to
speak very frankly of what this gov
ernment has done and should seek to
do in fulfillment of its obligation to
Mexico herself, as a friend and neigh
bor, and to American citizens whose
lives and vital interests are dally af
fected by the distressing condition
which now obtain beyond our south
ern border.
U. S. a Friend of Mexico.

at our k very doors. That; of 'course,
makeB us more vividly and more con
stantly conscious cf them, and every
instinct of neighborly Interest and
sympathy is aroused and quickened by
them ; but that is only one element in
the determination of our duty. We
are glad to call ourselves the friends
of Mexico, and we shall, I hope, have
many an occasion. In happier times, as
well as In these days of trouble and
confusion, to show that our friendship
is genuine and disinterested, capable
of sacrifice and very generous man!

contentment of Mexico mean more.
much more, to us, than merely an en
larged field for our commerce and en
terprise. They mean an enlargement
of the field of self-government and
the realization of hopes and rights of
a nation with whose best aspirations
too long suppressed, and disappointed
we deeply sympathize. We shall yet
prove to the Mexican people that we
know how to serve them without first
thinking how we shall serve ourselves
World Wants Mexican Peace.
"But we are not the only friends'
of Mexico. The whole world .desirea
her peace and progress, and the whole
world is interested as never before
Mexico lies at last where all the-world
looks on. Central America Is about
to be touched by the great routes of
the worlds' trade and Intercourse run

Isthmus. The future has. much in
store for Mexico, as for all the states
of Central America, but the best gifts
can come to her only if she be ready
and free, to receive them and to enjoy
them honorably. America In partlcu

' - No Peace- Is In Sight,
The present circumstances of the
republic, I deeply regret to Bay, do not
seem to promise even the foundations
of such a peace. We have waited many
months, months full of peril and anxi
ety, for the conditions there to im
prove, and they have not improved.
They have grown worse, rather. The
territory in some, sort controlled by
the provisional authorities at, Mexico
City has grown smaller, not larger:
The prospect, of the pacification of the
country, even by inns, has seemed to
grow mere atid more remote,-and its
pacification by the authorities at the
capital is evidently impossible by any
other means than force. Difficulties
more and more entangle those who
claim to constltutij the legitimate gov
ernment of the republic They have
not made good their claim in fact
Their, successes in the field have
proved only temporary. War and dis
order, devastation and confusion, seem
to threaten to become the settled for
tune of the distracted country. As
friends we could wait no longer for a
solution which every week seems fur
ther away. It was our duty at least
to volunteerour good offices the offer
to assist, if we might in effecting
some arrangement which would bring
relief and peace and set up a uniform
ally acknowledged political authority
there.
Tells of Instructions to tind.
, "Accordingly I took the liberty of
sending the Hon. John Lind, formerly
governor of Minnesota, as my person
al spokesman and representative to
the City of Mexico with the following
nstructions:
"Press very earnestly upon the at
tention of those who are now exer
cising authority or wielding influence
in Mexico the following consideration
and advice:
"The government of the United
states does not feel at liberty any
onger to stand Inactively by while it
becomes daily more and more evident
that no real progress is being made
towards the establishment of a gov
ernment at the City of Mexico which
the country will obey and respect.
The government of the United
States does not stand in the same
case with the other great governments
of the world in respect to what is hap
pening or what is likely to happen in
Mexico. We offer our good offices, not
only because of our genuine desire
to play the part of a friend, but also
because we are expected by the pow
ers 1 of the world to act as Mexico's
nearest friend.
Acts in Interest of Mexico.
We wish to act tn these circum
stances in the spirit of the most ear
nest and disinterested friendship. It
is our purpose in whatever we do or
propose in this, perplexing and dis
tressing situation not .only to pay the
most scrupulous regard to the sover
eignty and independence of Mexico
that we take as a matter of course,
to "which we are bound by every ob
ligation of right and honor but also
to give every possible evidence that
we act in the interest of Mexico alone,
and not in the interest of any person
or body of persons who may have per
sonal or property claims in Mexico
which they may feel that they have
the right to press. We are seeking to
counsel Mexico for her own good and
in the interest of her own peace, and
not for any other purpose whatever.
"The government of the United
States would be itself discredited if
it had any selfish or ulterior purpose
in transactions where the peace, hap
piness and prosperity of a whole peo
ple are involved. It is acting as its
friendship for Mexico, not as any
selfish interest, dictates.
All America Cries for Settlement.
"The political situation in Mexico
Is incompatible with the fulfillment
of international obligations on the
part of Mexico, with the civilized de
velopment of Mexico herself, and with
the maintenance of tolerable political-
and economic conditions in Central
America. It is no common occasion,
therefore, that the United States of
fers her counsel and assistance. All
America cries out for a1 settlement
"A satisfactory settlement seems to
,us to be conditioned on: (a) An im
mediate cessation of fighting through
out Mexico, a definite armistice, sol
emnly entered into and scrupulously
observed;
'(b) Security given for an early
and free election in which all will
agree to take part,
Huerta Must Not Be Candidate.
"(c) The consent of General Huer
ta to bind himself not to be a candi
date" for election as president of the
republic at this election; and,
"(d) The agreement of all parties
to abide by the results of tbs election
and co-operation in the most loyal way
In organizing and supporting the new
administration.-: N
"The government of the United
States will be g;lad to play any part In
this settlement or In its carry tng out
which . is honorable, and consistent
with . international right ' - It pledges
itself to recognize and In any way
proper to assist the ; administration
chosen and set up in Mexico in the
way and on the conditions suggested.
-Taking all the existing ; conditions
into consideration the government of
the United States can conceive of. no
reasons sufficient to Justify those who
are now attempting to shape the pol
icy or exercising the authority of Mex
ico in decling the offices of friendship
thus ol!ered. Can Mexico give the civ
ilized world a ' satisfactory reason "for
rejecting our good offices?
LIrd Showed Great Tact.
Mr. LI ad executed his delicate and
difficult ' mission I with singular tact,
firmness,- and I made clear to the au
thorities of the city, of Mexico, not
only the purpose of his visit but also
the spirit in which it had teen under
taken.' But the proposals he suV
mltted were rejected in ' a note, the
full text of which I take the liberty
of laying before you.
"I am led to believe that they were
rejected partly because the authori
ties at Mexico City had been grossly
misinformed and misled upon two
points. They did not realize the spirit
of the American people In this matter.
their , earnest ; friendliness and yet
sober determination that some just so
lution .be found for-the Mexican diffi
culties ; and they did not believe that
the ' present admlnlstrtlon . spoke.
through Mr. Lind, for the American
people. ''
Meanwhile, what Is it our duty to
do? Clearly, everything that we do
must be rooted in patience and done
with calm and disinterested delibera
tion. Impatience on our part would
be childish; and would "be fraught with
every risk of wrong and folly. We
can afford to exercise . ine Ben-restraint
of a really great nation which
realizes its own strength and scorns,.
to misuse it it was our dutyto offer
our active assistance. It is now our
duty to show what true neutrality will
do to enable the people of Mexico to
set their affairs, in order again and
wait for a further opportunity to offer
our friendly counsels. The door is not
closed against thev resumption, either
upon the Initiative of Mexico or upon
our own, of the effort to bring order
out of the confusion by friendly co
operative action, should fortunate' oc
casion offer. '
Urges Americans to Leave.
"We should earnestly urge all Amer
icans to leave Mexico . at once, ana
should assist them to get away In
every way possible. Not because we
would mean to slacken in the least
our effortB to safeguard their lives
and their interests, but because It is
Imperative that they should not take
any unnecessary risks if it is physical
ly possible for them to leave the coun
try. We 6hould' let everyone who
assumes to exercise . authority in any
part of Mexico know in the most un
equivocal way that we shall vigilantly
watch the fortunes of those Ameri
cans who cannot get away, and shall
hold those responsible for their suf
ferings and losses to a definite reckon
ing. Will Remain Neutral.
For the rest, I deem it my. duty to
exercise the authority conferred upon
me by the law of March 14, 1912. to
see to- it that neither side to the.
struggle now going on in Mexico re
ceive any assistance from this side of
the border. - 1 shall follow the best
practice of nations in the matter of
neutrality by forbidding the exporta
tion of arms or munitions of war of
any kind from the United , States to
any part of the republic of Mexico.
"I am happy to say that several ot
the great governments of the world
have given this government their gen
erous moral support In urging upon
the provisional authorities at the city
of Mexico the acceptances of our
proffered good offices in the spirit in
which they were made."
Gamboa's Reply to Wilson.
Washington, Aug. 28 The follow
ing is a synopsis of the reply of
Senor Gamboa to the proposals of
the American government conveyed
through Hon. John Lmd. as transmit
ted to congress by the president!
In his reply to the American pro
posals Senor Gamboa, the Mexican
minister of foreign affairs, urges the
following points:
That President Wilson's Imputation
that no progress Is being' made to
ward the restoration of peace in Mex
ico is not true.
That the fact the Mexican govern
ment enjoys the recognition of nearly
all the great nations of the world is
proof that it is a true and honorable
administration.
That the proposal of an armistice is
impossible, because nations do not
propose armistices with bandits. To
grant an armistice would be to rec
ognize the belligerency of the rebels.
That the request that General Huer
to should not he a candidate for the
presidency is "strange and unwarrant
ed."
. That the election of General Huerta
was legal.
That the American proposals are
"humiliating and unsound."
That Mexico's ambassador should
be received in Mexico and that the
United States should send a new am
bassador to Mexico.

Lace is much In Black Velvet
in vogue in combination with velvet
Soma of the models just brought over
from the other side have wired
brims of black' lace with crowns of
velvet, or crowns of lace with velvet
brims.
Ribbons also play an important part
in fall millinery, and every sort of
ribbon is fashionable, from narrow
moire bands and bows to wide rib
bons, which are formed into huge,
wired butterfly loops.
Gora and peacock feathers seem
to be replacing the delicate Numida
which was a veritable frenzy last
season, and many of the new models
show simple quills, smartly arranged
in crossed effect, or placed side by
side in a cluster. Wings are fashion

BEAD BORDER A DECORATION
No Prettier Method of Adornment for
Pillows That Are to Be Used
on the Porch. -
An unusual but pretty way to decor
ate stand covers and pillows for porch
use is by means of a bead border; The
stand covers as well as the pillows are
made of a heavy canvas or monk's
cloth. The beads are sewed in place
to form a border, following some sim
ple set design. It is best to mark par
allel ' lines on the . goods so that the
border will be straight The beads
are then sewed in short rows at right
angles to the i?r.X1 lin3. Q?!iz

usually seen, as they give a fresh.
clean appearance in keeping with tfceir
use for: outdoor decoration.
The bead border makes the stand
covers heavy and in this , they are
weighted so-that they cannot blow
from the table. - Either a very narrow
border or a design across the, corners
Is all that should bo used on the pil
lows. ' .

Raffles. Medici effects and little
vests or waistcoats are particularly
well represented in the new neckwear
the manufacturers are turning out for
the fair trade. . ; ; :' .
Although the Medici collar of the
past and present Reason 'has enjoyed
great, popularity. It has not been uni
versally becoming; but the manufac
turers say the new collars have been
so modified, that nearly every one
who desires can wear them. The fichu
Idea is still popular, too, and pleat
taga of all kinds come. by the yard.
POPULAR STYLE IS THE HALO,
mmenae Brims and Flat Low Crowns
, Have Had Their Day and Will
Not Be Much Regretted.
In other summers women wore lace
and tulle hats with Immense flopping
brims and flat low crowns; not so to
day. The tulle hat of the moment Is
still the halo. It is a pleating, a spray
and a flicker of ribbon. You can pay
any price you wish from $20 to $50 for
t, and if your fingers are clever you
can make it at home for $5 provided
you are not using paradise or numl
dis. . .
There, are other tulle hats and they
are the fancy of the moment .They
are dashing and coquettish and, again,
they are demure and old-fashioned.
The trimming Is very slight, but If one
does not wish to go in for fantastic
sprays of unnatural feathers there is
always a rose to be plucked from the
milliner's back room garden.
Even the leghorn hat of today Is
small, but it remains simple with a
flower as -its trimming , and often a
chin band of velvet ribbon." By the
way, these chin bands are exceedingly
fashionable and sometimes fascinat
ing. It is not intended for. the woman
with a "flowing chin," but it can be
worn by the middle-aged woman who
wishes to disguise the wrinkles that
are marked out under her earB.
There are other chin bands of pearls
as well as velvet ribbon, but It Is to ba
hoped the former will not make its ap
pearance on sensible women in Ameri
ca. The French woman who wore.lt
suspended from her ears at the Paris
races was not starting a fashion; she
was merely trying to get pnoio-'
graphed.

that of the graceful lazy daisy em
