the embargo on the expectation OF
arms to Mexico allowing the privilege
only to the Huerta forces. He is rec

For Protection.
The placing of sufficient American
troops in Mexico to act as a constab-
uIary to protect American lives and
property is provided for in resolu-
ton introduced in the senate at Wash

rose. The resolution declares this
would not be an act of war.
''The administration has asked for
100000 to take Americans out of
Mexico" said Senator Penrose, after
announcing he would not discuss his
resolution. Il think they have right
to be there under our treaties and
under international law. We have no
right to attempt to break up their
homes and occupations. Rather than
appropriate this pittance of 100000

would appropriate this twenty-five mil

Must Prove Bribery.
Assuming that Harry K Thaw es-
capes deportation, which is believed
likely at Ottawa, the authorities to-
day said that New York's only hope
of extraditing him will be on. the
grounds of bribery of the attaches of
