Washington. Dec. 7.—The first of Presi-
dent Taft's promised special mpssages
was read In congress today. It deals en-
tirely with foreign affairs. The message
in part follows:
The relations of the United Slates with
other countries have continued during the
past twelve months upon a basis of the
usual good will and friendly intercourse.
Arbitration.
The fear Just passed marks an Im-
portant general movement on the part of
the powers for broader arbitration. In
the recognition of the manifold benefits
to mankind In the extension of the policy
of the settlement of International dis-
putes by arbitration rather than by war,
and in response to a widespread demand
for an advance in that direction on the
part of the people of the United States
and of Great Britain and of France, new
arbitration treaties were negotiated last
spring with Great Britain and France,
the termB of which were designed, as
expressed ln the preamble of these treat-
ies, to extend the scope and obligations of
the policy of arbitration adopted In our
present treaties with those governments.
To pave the way for this treaty with the
United States, Great Britain negotiated
an important modification in Its allianca
with Japan and the French government
also expedited the negotiations with sig-
nal good will. The new treaties have
bwn submitted to the senate and are
awaiting Its advice and consent to their
ratification. All the essentials of these
important treaties have long been known,
and It is my earnest hope that they will
receive prompt and favorable action.
Claim of Alsop & Co. Settled,
j I am glad to report that on July 5 last
the American claim of Alsop & Co.
against the government of Chile was
finally disposed of by the decision of ins
; Britannic ma.lestv George V., to whom,
as amiable compositeur, the matter had
been referred for determination. His
majesty made an award of nearly Jt.OtK),-
000 to the claimants, which was promptly
paid by Chile. The settlement of this
controversy has happiiy eliminated from
the relations between the republic of
Chile and the United States the only
question which for two decades had giv-
en the two foreign offices any serious
concern and makes possible the unob-
structed development of the relations ol
I friendship which it has been the aim ol
thl3 government ln every possible way to
further and cultivate.
Arbitrations.
j In further illustration of the practical
I and beneficent application of the princl-
' pie of arbitration and the underlying
! broad spirit of conciliation, I am happy
I to advert to the part of the United States
In faclliating amicable settlement of dls-
! putes which menaced the peace between
Panama and Costa Rica and between
I Haiti and the Dominican republic.
I Since the date of their independence,
I Colombia and Costa Rica had been seek-
! Ing a solution of a boundary dispute,
I which came as a heritage from Colombia
i to the new republic of Panama, upon its
beginning life as an Independent na-
i tlon. In January. 1910, at the request of
both governments the agents represent-
i Ing them met in conference at the depart-
ment of state and subsequently conclud-
ed a protocol submitting this long-pend-
! Ing controversy to the arbitral Judgment
of the chief Justice of the United States
; who consented to act ln this capacity. A
I boundary commission, according to the
! International agreement, has now been
I appointed, and it is expected that the ar-
guments will shortly proceed and that
this long-standing dispute will be honor-
ably and satisfactorily terminated.
Again, a few months ago it appeared
that the Dominican republic and Haiti
were about to enter upon hostilities be-
cause of complications growing out of an
j acrimonious boundary dispute which the
efforts of many years had failed to solve,
i The government of the United States, by
a friendly Interposition of good offices,
succeeded in prevailing upon the parties
to place their reliance upon some form of
pacific settlement.
Mexico.
The recent political events In Mexico
received attention from this government
because of the exceedingly delicate and
difficult situation created along our south-
ern border and the necessity for taking
measures properly to safeguard Ameri-
can Interests. The government of the
United States, ln Its desire to secure a
oropfr observance and enforcement of
the so-called neutrality statutes of the
federal government, issued directions to
the appropriate officers to exercise a dili-
gent and vigilant regard for the require-
ment? of such rules and laws. A t.lough
t condition of actual armed conflict ex-
.|„.re was no official recognition of
belligerency Involving the technical neu-
trality obligations of International law.
On the 6th of March last. In the ab-
ien< e of the secretary of state. I had a
personal Interview with Mr Ullson the
ambassador of the United States to Mex-
ico In which he reported to me that the
conditions in Mexico were much more
critical than the press dispatches dis-
closed; that President Diaz was on a vol-
1 cann of popular uprising: that the small
outbreaks which had occurred were only
symptomatic of the whole condition: that
a' verv large per cent, of the people were
in sympathy with the insurrection; that a
general explosion was probable at any
: time. In which case he feared that the
440 000 or more American residents In
Mexico might be assailed, and that the
very large American Investments might
be injured or destroyed.
After a conference with the secretary
of war and the secretary of the navy. I
thought it wise to assemble an army
division of full strength at San Antonio.
Tex a brigade of three regiments at
Galveston, a brigade of infantry In the
Los Angeles district of southern Call-
] fornla. together with a squadron of bat-
tleships and cruisers and transports at
, Galveston, and a small squadron of ships
at San Diego. At the same time, through
our representative at the City of Mexico
1 expressed to President Diaz the hope
that no apprehensions might result from
unfounded conjectures as to these mili-
tary maneuvers, and assured him that
they had no significance which should
cause concern to his government.
I am more than nappy to here record
the fact that all apprehensions as to the
effect of the presence of so large a mili-
tary force ln Texas proved groundless;
no disturbances occurred.
From time to time communications
were received from Ambassador Wilson,
who had returned to Mexico, confirming
the view that the massing of American
; troops ln the neighborhood had had good
•ffect.
The Insurrection continued and resulted
ln engagements between the regular
Mexican troops snd the Insurgents, and
this along the border, so that in several
instances bullets from the contending
; forces struck American citizens engaged
ln their lawful occupations on American
soli.
Proper protests were made against
these Invasions of American rights to the
I Mexican authorities.
The presence of a large military and
nital force available for prompt action,
near the Mexican border, proved to be
the most fortunate under the somewhat
trying conditions presented by this Inva-
sion of American rights.
The policy and action of this govern-
ment were based upon an earnest frier.1-
llness for the Mexican people as a whole
snd It Is a matter of gratification to note
that this attitude of strict Impartiality as
to all factions ln Mexico and of sincere
friendship for the neighboring nation,
without regard for party allegiance, has
been generally recognized and has re-
sulted in an even closer and more sym-
pathetic understanding between the two
republics and a warmer regard one for
the other. Action to suppress violence
and restore tranquility throughout the
Mexican republic was of peculiar Inter-
est to this government, ln that it con-
cerned the safeguarding of American life
and property In that country. On May
25, 1911. President Diaz resigned. Si ,;or
de la Barra was chosen provisional presi-
dent. Elections for president and vice-
president were thereafter held through-
out the republic, and Senor Francisco I.
Madera was formally declared elected on
October 15, to the chief magistracy. On
November 6 President Madero entered
upon the duties of his office.
Honduras and Nicaragua Treaties
Proposed.
As to the situation ln Central America,
I have taken occasion in the past to em-
phasize most strongly the importance tbat
should be attributed to the consumma-
tion of the conventions between the re-
publics of Nicaragua and of Honduras
and this country, and I again earnestly
recommend that the necessary advice and
consent of the senate be accorded to
these treaties, which will make It possi-
ble for these Central American repub-
lics to enter upon an era of genuine eco-
nomic national development.
Our relations with the Republic of
Panama, peculiarly Important, due to mu-
tual obligations and the vast Interests
created by the canal, have continued in
the usual friendly manner, and we have
been glad to make appropriate expres-
sion of our attitude of sympathetic In-
terest In the endeavors of our neighbor
ln undertaking the development of the
rich resources of the country.
The Chinese Loans.
The past year has been marked In our
relations with China by the conclusion
of two Important international loans, one
for the construction of the Hukuang rail-
ways, the other for the carrying out of
the currency reform to which China was
pledged, by treaties with the United
States, Great Britain and Japan, of
which mention was made ln my last an-
nual message.
Kspeciallv Important at the present,
when the ancient Chinese empire is shak-
en by civil war Incidental to Its awaken-
ing to the many Influences and activity
of moderlzation. are the co-operative pol-
icy of good understanding which has been
fostered by the international projects re-
ferred to above and the general sym-
pathy of view among all the powers In-
terested In the far east.
New Japanese Treaty.
The treaty of commerce and navigation
between the United States and Japan,
signed In 1894, would by a strict Inter-
pretation of Its provisions have terminat-
ed on July 17. 1912. Japan's general
treaties with the other powers, however,
terminated ln 1911, and the Japanese gov-
ernment expressed an earnest desire to
conduct the negotiations for a new treaty
with the United States almultaneously
with Its negotiations with the other pow-
ers. There were a number of important
questions Involved ln the treaty, Includ-
ing the Immigration of laborers, revision
of the customs tariff and the right of
Americans to hold real estate ln Japan.
The United States consented to waive all
technicalities and to enter at once upon
negotiations for a new treaty on the un-
derstanding that there should be a con-
tinuance throughout the life of the treaty
of the same effective measures for the
restriction of Immigration of laborers to
American territory which had been In
operation with entire satisfaction to both
governments since 1908. The Japanese
government accepted this basis of nego-
tiation, and a new treaty was quickly
concluded, resulting In a highly satisfac-
tory settlement of the other questions re-
ferred to.
Europe and the Near East.
In Europe and the near east, during fhe
past twelve-month, there has been at
times considerable political unrest. The
Moroccan question, which for some
months was the cause of great anxiety,
happily appears to have reached a stage
at which it need no longer be regarded
with concern. The Ottoman empire was
occupied for a period by strlf>- In Al-
bania and Is now at war with Italy. In
Greece and the Balkan countries the
disquieting potentialities of this situation
have been more or less felt. Persia has
been the scene of a long Internal strug-
gle. These conditions have been the
cause of uneasiness In European diplo-
macy, but thus far without direct, politi-
cal concern to the United States.
In the war which unhappily exists be-
tween Italy and Turkey this government
has no direct political Interest, and I
took occasion at the suitable time to is-
sue a proclamation of neutrality ln that
conflict. At the same time all necessary
steps have been taken to safegum i the
personal Interests of American citizens
and organizations In so far as affected
bv the war
In spite Of the attendant economic un-
certainties and detriments to commerce,
the United States has gained markejiy in
Its commercial standing with certain of
the nations of the r.»ar enst.
Coronation of King George V.
The ?2d of June of the present year
marked the coronation of h's Br:tannic
majesty, King George V. In honor of
this auspicious occasion I sent a special
embassy to London. The courteous and
cordial welcome extended to thi- gov-
ernment's representatives by hlB majesty
and the peop'o of Great Britain has fur-
ther emphas r.^d the strong bonds of
friendship happily existing between the
two nations.
Settlement of Differences With Great
Britain.
As the result of a determined effort on
the part of both Great Britain and the
United States to settle all of th^lr out-
standing differences a number of treat-
ies have been entered Into between the
two countries In recent years, by which
nearly all of the unsettled questions be-
tween them of any importance have been
adjusted by agrement or arrangements
made for their settlement by arbitration.
Recognition of Portuguese Republic.
The National Constituent assembly, reg-
ularly elected by the vote of the Portu-
guese people, having on June 19 last
unanimously proclaimed a republican gov-
ernment, the official recognition of the
government of the United States was
given to the new republic In the after-
noon of the same day.
International Conventions and Confer-
ences.
The supplementary protocol to The.
Hague convention tor the establishment
of an International prize court, mentioned
ln my last annual message, embodying
stipulations providing for an alternative
prc,«-udure which would remove the con-
stitutional objection to that part of The
H&xue convention which provides tha'
there may be an appeal to the proposed
court from the decisions of national
courts, has received the slennture of

government of the Un ted States, togeth

Fur-Seal Treaty.
The fur-seal controversy, which for
ne.-irlv twenty-five years hns been the
source of serious friction between tho
United States and the powers bordering
upon the north Pacific ocean, whoso sub-
.1' ' l'- have been permitted to engage In
pelagic sealing against the fur-seal herds
haiing their breeding grounds within the
Jurisdiction of the United States, has at
last been satisfactorily adjusted by tho
concluclon of the North Pacific sealing
convention entered Into between the
United States, Groat Britain, Japan and
Bussia on the seventh of July last.
The attention of congress is especially
called to the neeessltv for legislation on
the port of the United' States for the pur-
pose nf fulfilling the obligations assumed
under >hls convention, to which the sen-
ate eav Its advice and consent on the
twenty-fourth day of July last.
International Opium Commission.
In a special message transmitted to the
congress on the seventh of January, 1911,
In which I concurred In the recommenda-
tions made by the secretary of state In
regard to certain needful legislation for
the control of our interstate and foreign
traffic in opium and other menacing
drugs, I quoted from my annual mes-
sage of December 7, 1909, In which I an-
nounced that the results of the Interna-
tional Opium commission held at Shang-
hai In February. 1909. at the invitation of
the. United States, had been laid before
this government: that the report of that
commission showed that China was mak-
ing remarkable progress and admirable
efforts toward the eradication of the
opium evil: that the Interested govern-
ments had not permitted their commer-
cial Interests to prevent their co-0Ppra-
tlon In this reform: and, as a result of ,
callateral Investigations of the opium
ouestion ln this country, I recommended
that the manufacture, sale and use of
opium In the Unite! States should he
more rigorously controlled by leicislatlon.
Prior to that time and In continuation
of the policy of tills government to se-
cure the co-operation of the Interested
nations, ilie United Stftes proposrd an
International opium conference with full
(■myers for the purpose ot' clothing with
the force of International law the reso- ]
lotions adopted bv the above-mentioned
commission, together with their essen-
tial corollorles. The other powers con- |
cerned cordially responded to the pro-
posal of this government, and. I am glad |
to be able to announce, representatives
of nil fir* powers assembled in conference
at The Hague on the first of this moot!:
Foreign Trade Relations of the United
States.
In my last annual message I referred
to the tariff negotiations of the depart-
ment of state with foreign countries In
eonneetlon with the application, bv a se-
ries of proclamations, of the minimum
tariff of the United States to Importa-
tions from the several countries, and I
stated that, ln Its general operation, sec-
tion 2 of the new tariff law had proved
a guaranty of continued commercial
peafe, although there were, unforturat»-
lv, Instances where foreign governments
d»alt arbitrarily with American Interests
within their Jurisdiction In a manner In-
jurious and Inequitable. During the past
year some Instances of discriminatory
treatment have been removed, but T re-
gret to sav that there remain a few
rases nf differential treatment adverse to
the commerce of the United States. Whll»
none of these Instances now appears to
amount to undue discrimination In the
sense of section 2 of the tariff law of
August 5. 1909, thev ar-' all exceptions to
tbat complet" degree of equalltv of tar-
iff treatment that the department of
state has consistently sought to obtain
for American commerce abroad.
While the double tariff feature of th»
tariff law of 1909 has been amply justi-
fied by the results achieved ln removing
former and preventing new. undue dis-
criminations against American commerce, i
it Is believed that the time has come for
the amendment of this feature of the law
ln sueh way as to provide a graduated |
means of meeting varying degrees of
discriminatory treatment of American
commerce In foreign countries as well as
to protect the financial Interests abroad
of American citizens against arbltrarv
end Injurious treatment on the part of
foreign governments through either leg-
islative or administrative measures.
It would seem desirable tbat the maxi-
mum tariff Of the United State? should
embrace within Its purview th» free list,

as marking the highest record of exports

tries. the valuation being In excess of .

Crying Need for American Merchant
Marine.
I need hardlv reiterate the conviction •
that there should speedllv be built up an
American merchant marine. This Is nec-
essary to assure favorable transporta-
tion facilities to our great ocean-born-
commerce as well as to supplement the
navv with an adequate reserve of ships
and men. Tt would have the economic .ad-
vantage of keeping at home part of the
vast sums now paid foreign shipping for
carrying American goods. All the great
commercial nations pay heavy subsidies ,
to their merchant marine, so that 't Is
obvious that without s cue wise aid from t
the congress the Unit I States must lag
behind in the matter of merchant marine j
In lis present anomalous position.
Legislation to facilitate the extension j
of American hanks to fo-elgn countries Is I
another n it', r in which our foreign j
trade needs assistance.

Improvement of the Foreign Service.
The entire foreign-service organization
is boln • improved and developed with
especial re-': rd to the requirements of
the commercial Interests of the country.
The rapid growth of our foreign trade
makes It of ih» utmost importance that
governmental agencies through which
tbat trade is to be aided and protectee
should possess a hlgli degree of effi-
ciency Not only should the foreign ree
resentatlvfs be maintained upon a gen-
erous scale In so far as salaries and es-
tablishments are concerned, but the se-
lection and advancement of officers
should be definitely and permanently ree
ulated bv law. so thnt the service shall
not fail tr> attract men of high chara.-te.-
and ability. The experience of the pas'
few years with a partial appilca'ion of
civil service rules to the diplomatic an l
consular service leaves no doubt In my
mind of the wisdom of a wider and more
perma'V-rit extension of those principles
to both branches of the foreign service.
I therefore again commend to the fa
vorable action of the congress the enact-
ment of a law applying to the diplomat!
and consular service the principles em-
bodied in section 17T4 of the Revised Stat
utes of tlie United States. In the civil
service act of January 16. 18K3. and the
executive orders of June 27. 1908, nnd of

to the attention of the congress the very
favorable report made on the Lowder.

GOT THE LETTERS MIXED
Clergyman'a Mistake Resulted In Giv-
ing Decided Surprise to Digni-
fied Archbishop.
One of tho most amusing stories
which the Hon. Lionel A. Tollemache
tells in "Nuts and Chestnuts," is that
entitled, "The Wrong Envelope." Mr.
M , a missionary, shortly before
leaving England, received two letters
—one from Archbishop Tait asking
him to dine, and the other lrom the
secretary of a religious society, a very
old friend, asking him to preach. He
accepted the archbishop's invitation,
and at the same time wrote to the
secretai^, but put the letters Into the
wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said to him: "Mr. M ,
do you always answer your dinner in-
vitations ln the same way?"
"I do not understand, your Grace."
The letter, which was then shown
to the missionary, ran thus: "You old
rascal! Why did you not ask me be-
fore? You know perfectly well that 1
shall be on the high seas on the date
you name."—London Tit-Bits.
Precise.
The proofreader on a small middle-
western daily was a woman of great
precision and extreme propriety. One
day a reporter succeeded in getting
Into type an item about "Willie Brown,
the boy who was burned in the West
end by a live wire."
On the following day the reporter
found on his desk a frigid note ask-
ing, "Which is the west end of a
boy?
it took only an instant to reply—
"The end the son sets on, of course."

IT IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR
Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles—mental be-
cause of disfiguration, physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen-
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only a matter of a little
thoughtful care in the selection of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor complexions, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. 21 L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin

Fellows In Distress.
An efficient woman principal of a
New York grammar school, though
devoid of good looks and bearing the
marks of long service ln her profes-
sion, still retains the charm of a de-
lightful frankness. One day while
watching the pupils pass out of her
building two by two, as usual, she no-
