lily laws between the United States
and Mexico.
Such action on the part of the
United States would put unlimited
quantities of guns and ammunitions
into the hands of the rebels against
the rule of Huerta.
The administration therefore is re-
Iuctant to seek. the repeal of the neu-
trality laws because of the certainty
of increased bIoodshed in unhappy
Mexico.
On the other hand, the present
situation of the United States is pecU-

By not recognizing Huerta the
United States brands him as an as

of power. By refusing guns and am
munition through the neutrality laws
to the Opposers of HUerta the United
States is denying the people Of that
country chance to unseat the as
sassin.

was entered into during the Taft adj

Mexico City (by direct Wire)-A
sham investigation is being made to-
day into the tearing down and mutt
latiOn of American and British flags
by Mexicans yesterday.
The flags were torn down by a
parade of workingmen, clerks and
students fired by their employers be-
cause of the new Sunday closing law.
The parade was on its way to the
national palace to file a protest with
President HUerta against the law. It
drew opposite a Japanese curio shop
in Avenida San Francisco, where
American, British, Japanese and
Mexican flags were displayed.
There was a rush for the flags.
The Stars and Stripes and the Union
Jack were wrenched from their
standards, torn to ribbons, trampled
under foot. The leaders of the parade
caught up the Japanese ag and
marched away with it amid cheers.
Citizens began joining the parade.
An. ugly demonstration at the palace
seemed likely.
But tn parade never reached the
palace. Mounted police and federal
cavalry charged into it, breaking it
up, dispensing the members.
Sunday has been the big day in
Mexico since the end of the empire.
It was on Sunday the people amused
themselves.
