all liability under the policy renders
imperative a provision therein for an

lent to q declaration that it will not
pay if the amount of the loss should
be determined; and the law will not
require the useless and expensive for
maiity of an arbitration when the in
surer, for whose benefit it was pro-
vlded, has rendered it superfluous.

about it."
Held: That the Letter was at least
prima facie evidence of a waiver by

1t was generally regarded here as
likely that the ammunition shipped
from Galveston and New York for the
Constitutionalists would reach its des-
tination unmolested Conflicting state
ments as to the probable attitude of
the United States regarding shipment
of arms to the Mexican contending
factions were difficult to reconcile
Today's developments throw little
light on the subject, though in some
quarters the view was expressed that
the American government would en-
deavor to prevent the delivery of arms
to General Carranza's forces in order
to influence him if possible to incline
a favorable ear to peace proposals at
Niagara Falls.
Such, 1t Is declared, was the original
idea when the order was issued last
week to prevent the clearance of YES
sells from any American port bound
with munitions of war for any Mex
lean port. This step was Intellectual
insofar as several boat loads of am
munition are concerned, because of
the failure to place in the proper
hands the state department order for
the suspension of traffic in ammuni-
ton.

The Gardner creation heeled far over,
under the blow until her bronze hull
showed in sharp contrast to the black
water that rushed astern. Shortly
after the start nearly mile separated
the two sloops and the old axiom re-
garding a stern chase being long

to splendid advantage in weather work
and began to overhaul the Vanitie in
impressive fashion. Midway to thef
first turning point and with the Reso-
lutte still gaining on the Vanitie, came<
the accident which put the Cochran
sloop out of the race.
