To Buy French Gums.

Taking into consideration the manifest
superiority of French artillery as demon
strated In the Balkan war, the military
authorities of the republic have decided
to place this order with the Creusot firm.
At the same time the number of trained
artillerymen in the republic Is to be
raised from nine to thirty.
difficult question of international law
has arisen, however, in connection with
the scheme. The new cannon have a
range Of nine miles. The territory OF the
reuubiic, OH the other hand. is only four
miles across 1t will, therefore, be I'M
possible to practice with the guns with

In circles in close touch with the situa-

such a contingency. 1t was thought,
tho constitutionalists would reaIize
that Huerta would be making self

Constitutionalists Are Encouraged.
Constitutionalist agents here said they
had received reports that their movement
Is growing daily and that they will be
able to drive Huerta from power in a
very short time. even though the embargo
on the expectation Of arms from the
United States to Mexico is not raised
They declared that the personality OF
Gen. Carranza is not realized by the peo-

that even so headstrong leader as Gen.
Pancho Villa obeys Gen. Carranza ex-
plicitly.
Through different channels the consti-
tutionalists are constantly keeping the
State Department informed of the
progress of their movement. 1t became
known today that the basis Of Gen. Car

he is successful really fair and free
