charged with violation of the neutrality
laws
Although article IA has bee min force
for ninety-four years. its LEGALITY has
never been tested. Mexican revolutionists
have always been accustomed to make
their residence on the United States
frontier a pretext to enable them to
equip expeditions directed against the
Mexican government.
The nearest approach to a test of arti-
Gle IA came carrier this month, when
Gen. Luis Mena, leader of the last Mica
raguan revolution, sought delivery from
the custody of the Panama Canal Zone
government, where he was held as a
prisoner of the United States government.
Refused Writ in Mena Case.
The court refused the write of habeas
corpus on the ground that Mena's i'm
prisonment was upon the order Of the
President Of the United States and with
in his constitutional authority.
Article il makes it lawful for the
President or whoever he may empower
to employ such part of the army as is
necessary to prevent operations in viola
ton Of the neutrality laws.
