scouting under conditions approximating

success, according to Lieut.. Col. George
o. Squers.
Lieut.. B. D. Foulois of the Signal Corps
and Philip Q. Parmalee, the aviator, flew
from the division encampment to Leon
Springs, delivered a message to a theo-
retical division and returned. The time
taken was one hour and forty-five min
utes. The distance flown was twenty
six miles going and thirty. miles coming
back; the elevation from thousand to
eighteen hundred feet the entire time.
This demonstrates, so the experts say,
that an aeroplane could go from a body OF
troops to another, even when the enemy
was between, and both survey the coun-
try and carry messages safe from rife
fire. 1t is declared that only chance shots
could possibly affect such work.

MAY BE UNABLETO STOP
WAR GOODS FOR REBELS
Courts Have Held Shipping Sup
plies No Violation Of
Neutrality Laws:

Careful study Of the neutrality laws
has left the administrators advisers
doubling gravely IL the United States can
totally prevent the shipment Of arms and
ammunition to the Mexican insurrectos.
The Department OF Justices view Of
the law and it's study Of the precedents
seems to bear out the contention, as view
ed by administration officials. that the
government can control in a measure the
shipments Of arms, dealing with each
particular case according to the circum-
stances surrounding it, but that there is
no general statute which fatty forbids
the shipment Of arms.
Attorney General Harmon In 1895 gave
an opinion to the State Department re-
garding shipment OF arms to the Cuban
insurrectos, in which he declared that
the mere sale or shipment OF arms ana
munitions Of war by persons in the
United States to persons in Cuba is not a
violation Of international law, however
strong a suspicion there may be that
they are to be used in an instruction
against the Spanish government"
About the same time Justice Brown IN
United States district court held that II
was no offense against the neutrality
laws of the United States to- transport
munitions of war from this country TO
another, as merchandise only, if not de-
signed in aid of a military expedition
from this country, whether they were to
be used in war or not. In the W1perg
case. which was one Of the filibusters to
Cuba, the Supreme Court Of the United
States affirmed the opinion Of the court
below, that it was no crime to trans
port munitions Of war to another coun-
try il they were to be used for war or not
and that it was not an offense to trans
port persons intending to enlist in for
eien army and munitions of war, on the
same trip. 49,.
The court, however, upheld the fine dis
tinction. that it would have been breach
of law if both the persons intending to
enlist and the munitions Of war being
TRANSPORTED were parts of the same mill
tary expedition planned and set on foot
in this country.
