BALTIMORE October 10 Charles E.
Hughes speaking Tuesday night in the
armory here where Wooarow -Wilson was
first nominated for the presidency as-
sailed the president 's policy toward the
promotion of American trad abroad and
replied to published statements oft)r.
Charles W. Elioj. president emeritus of
Harvard; indorsing the president's
policy.
"Dr. Eliot pierces the heart of the mat-
tar" Mr. Hughes said "and he finds that
the record of the administration means
this: 'No intervention by force of arms
to protect on foreign soil. American com-
mercial and manufacturing adventurers
who. of their own free wiU have invested
their money or risked their lives in for-
eign aarta under alien Jurisdiction.'
"Think of the import of that you who
represent tne best sjenlus of the world
and are thinking of using It abroad." Mr.
Hughes added. "Think of that you who
It is suggested are to be asked to finance
we cn let unaertaaings or tm world.
Mr. Hughes read the democratic plat-
form plank esVltlt declaring for the pro-
tection of American rights abroad and
asked if it were "molasses to catch
flies." Ha declared the ptotectloa It
promised had been deliberately snd de
plorably rerused." He quoted from a re-
cent speech of the president ouUlninc tha
administration's Ideas with respect to the
aeveiopnwnt abroad or American -enterprise
and asserted that it was impossible
to "square the fine words now used with
the actions' of the administration.
DOLLAR DIMOftACY
WITHOUT DOLLARS.
"Dollar diplomacy." Mr. Hughes said
a as what encouragement to the develop
ment of American Interests abroad was
dubbed "something shockingly reprehen
sible." f
"In consequence I may say." the noral
nee added "that in respect to American
interest abroad we have had not only
diplomacy without dollars bat diplomacy
without sense.
iniring tne past three years and ' a
half one would sunoose that anr Ameri

Mr. Hughes then quoted Dr. Eliot snd
continued:
"1 do not overlook Dr. Eliot's reference
to force of arms. We are desirous no

to be a mistake to suppose an. adequate

STUDENT LOAN FUND

That fund of the Southern Presbyterian
church which ta known aa "The Student
Loan Fundi" nw amounts' to mora than
SSMOv and Is administered by the ex-
ecutive committee of Christian education
and ministerial relief of which Rev. Hen-
ry E. Sweets D. D. of Louisville la sec-
retary. Every dollar of this fund has been
loaned or pledged for this year to choice
boys and girls of the church who are
seeking higher education in Presbyterian
colleges and the committee has been
forced to decline the application of more
than 40 students because the fund Is not
larrer. Each student aided bv this fund
receives 1100 each year for the four years
or nts or ner college course ana soon as
this money Is repaid by one set of. stu-

The loan fund for the education or can

Last year only 771 of .the societies in
the church for men. women young peo

Among the most important causes to

its annual meeting to be held at Bryan.
October 10-1 J will be that of Christian
