oonstitutlonalists Pleased
| The status Of the arms question is
unlike any situation that has hitherto
existed though its operation will re-
semble more closely than anything
else the state Of affairs existing be.
fore the Joint resolution of Congress
of March IA, 1912, was put into effect,
whereas the United States at that
time perm tied consigpments of arms
to pass through at those customs
houses held by the regularly consti-
tuted government, 1t allowed no ship
ments through other ports of entry,
even though occupied for months by
revolutionary forces. The Constitu-
tionalists hold most of the customs
houses on the Mexican side of the in
ternatlonal line. The Federals still
occupy such points as Nuevo Laredo
and Piedras Negras, but the Consti-
tutionalists now can ship arms with
out molestation through Brownsville,
Tex, to Matamoras, from Preside.
Tex, to Ojinaga, from FL Paso to
Juarez, as well as at such important
points as Douglas and Nogales.
Whether every shipment of arms
would have to be preceded by a per-
init from the state department, as
has been the case in exceptions to
the joint resolution of March IA. 1912,

nation issued by the President would
merely restore the status of regular

No orders for the withdrawal OF |
United States troops from the border |
will be issued by the war department |
unless recommendations arc made by |
Brigadier- General Bliss, in command |

that while he supposed the duties of
troops would be considerably lessened ,
by the lifting Of the embargo, he could
not say positively that fewer soldiers

entirely familiar with the details of |
the situation. There might be scat

troops now.
