The proposal of the establishment OF
peaceful blockade off Mexican ports, set
forth in The Tribune to-day. is attracting
much attention, and there is a general
belief that this would be an efficacious
measure. 1t would, however. have its
complications. The purpose of the block
ade would be to deprive Huerta of the
customs revenues. upon which he is now
dependent, promote dissatisfaction In the
country. which would heighten the OPP
position TO Huerta, and to cut off his
supplies OF arms and ammunition.
1t is understood here that there are now
en- route to Huerta from Europe two I'M
to be forced TO a fall, II is important
that he should not get these arms, and
blockade would prevent his so doing. IT
would. however, bring protests from the
European countries selling their arms,
and this would have to be met by the
United States. A peaceful blockade, from
the aspect OF international law, may be
established without declaration Of war.
Foreign nations, however. might make
successful objection to IT,, as did The
United States when certain European
powers undertook to establish a peaceful
blockade off Venezuela. America forced
those countries into making the blockade
hostile. If successful protest were made
by European countries, the United States
could still declare a hostile blockade.
which would be declaration OF war and
stop all ships. no matter OF what ma
tionality. and seize all contraband of war.
No one could object 10 this.
II might be that Europe, in its willing
ness to assist President Wilson, would
determine TO interpose no objections 10
anything he endeavored to do, particular
~ II European sellers of arms or other
things who stood to suffer losses were
assured of recompense.

England Out in Open Now.

The attitude Of Europe is far more
satisfactory to the administration than
IL has been since the beginning OF the
present phase Of the Mexican situation
last summer. The speech of Premier
Asauith in London yesterday is dis
tinctly gratifying, and it is considered
Quite probable that the report that
Ambassador Page has expressed his APP
probation of Asquith's remarks is true,
although he has not been instructed to
do so.
England's attitude has finally been
clearly defined, and its character is
friendly. Heretofore there has been
keen dissatisfaction with the course
followed by Great Britain, principally
because il had so much 10 do with in
spiring Huerta with courage to defy
the United States.
The administration has given to Eu-
rope a full and complete explanation
OF all that has been done, and has. II is
understood. outlined a future course, at
least to the extent of saying that TINS
government would take some definite
action. Ten days ago the international
situation was uncertain-so uncertain,
in fact, that Secretary Bryan asked
England, Germany and France to take
no action in Mexico until they heard
from the United States. They have
now had q declaration of policy from
this government and appear satisfied
with what is proposed.

CHAPTER 4,
The Panel of Light.

THE lids of the girls eyes lifted
slowly, and she stared at the
panel of light in the wall. Just
at the outset the act of seeing
made not the least impression on her
numbed brain. For a long time she
continued to regard the dim illumina-
ton in the wall with the same passive
f1xity of gaze. Apathy still lay upon
her crushed spirit In a vague way
she realized her own inertness and rest
ed in it gratefully, subtly fearful lest
she again arouse to the full horror of
her plight In curious subconscious
fashion she was striving to hold on to
this deafness of sensation. thus to win
a little respite from the torture that
had exhausted her soul.
OF a sudden her eyes noted the black
lines that lay across the panel of light.
and in that instant her spirit was
quickened once again. The clouds lift
ed from her brain. Vision was clear
now. Understanding seized the full
import of this hideous thing on which
she looked. For the panel of light was
q NAhoOW oCI hiSh nilhlb a wan VI
stone. The rigid lines of black that
crossed it were bars-prison bars. 1t
was still true, then. She was in cell
of the Tombs.
Crouching miserably on the narrow
bed, she maintained her fixed watching
of the window-that window which
was a symbol of her utter despair.
Again agony wrenched within her.
The girl was appalled, by the merci-
lessness of destiny that had so out
ragged right. She was wholly innocent
Of having done any wrong. She had
struggled through years of privation to
keep herself clean and wholesome wor-
thy of those gentlefolk from whom she
drew her blood. And earnest effort
had ended at last under an oyerwhelm-
ing accusation, false, yet none the less
fatal to her. This accusation after soul
wearying delays had eliminated today
in conviction. The sentence of the
court had been imposed upon her-that
for three years she should be impris-
oned
There had been nothing in the life
of Mary Turner before the catastrophe
came to distinguish it from many an
other. Its most significant details were
of sordid kind, familiar to poverty. |
