WAR MEANSABREAK
IN CONSULAR SERVICE
United States Likely to Withdraw
Observation-Disclosures Re-
main at Posts for Present.

When Secretary Bryan arranged to turn
the archives Of the American embassy
in Mexico City over to the Brazilian
consul in that capital 1t was expected
that American consulates would also be
taken in charge by Brazilian consuls in
the event the American consuls should
be withdrawn. But inquiry disclosed that
there are but two Brazilian consular
Mexico City. and the other, q vice con-
sui. is in Vera Cruz.
Ofacials pointed out that American con-
sular interests in those two important
centers could be administered by the
Brazilian representatives and that ar
rangements would be made with other
powers to safeguard American interests
elsewhere In Mexican territory.
Consuls to Be Withdrawn.
According to precedent, American con-
suls in Mexico and Mexican consuls in
this country might be expected to be
withdrawn in the event that war Is de-
clared between the two countries. Some
officials said there were exceptions to
that rule in the Spanish war. but that
war was characterized by these observers
as "the friendliest kind Of an affair."" at
least as regarded the exchanges of cour-
tesies during the period Of hostilities.
The consular service OF Mexico in the
United States is not disturbed at this
time by the withdrawal Of the Mexican
diplomatic representative Senior Algara.
The consuls have been directed to remain
at their posts.
Many officials thought all American
Representatives in Mexico should be re-
called, for fear they would be the VIC
Tins of Mexican mobs, in view Of re-
peated reports OF anti-American dem
onstrations. 1t also was pointed out
that any government has the right to
cancel the exequaturs OF foreign con-
this is not in accordance with prece-
dent, 1t Is right of which Cen Huerta
could avail himself. If he were SO dis
posed
Becomes an Intermediary.
With diplomatic relations between
the two countries finally severed by
the departure of Charge Algara from
Washington and Charge O'Shaugh-
messy from Mexico City. the status of
the Brazilian minister will be that of
intermediary for the protection of
American lives and interests. But as
a veteran diplomat pointed out, he can
! originate no representations to the
Huerta foreign ONCE and will act main
ly as a switchboard" for the trans-
mission of communications from Wash
ington. These communications may be
either oral or written.

PROCEEDINGS ARE BEGUN
TO TEST GUARD ORDERS
Suit in Supreme Court Will Deter
mine Right to Send Militia
Into Mexico.

Proceedings were begun in the Supreme
Court of the United States to determine
whether the National Guard may be sent
to Mexico or other territory outside the
United States without first being mus
tered in as volunteers. The proceedings
are in the nature Of an appeal from the
action Of Judge Day in the federal court
in northern Ohio in dismissing an action
Of Lieut.. Col Daniel T. Stearns against
Adjt. Gen. George H. Wood Of the Ohio
National Guard growing out of prepara-
tions for militia movements outside the
country.
Lieut. Col. Stearns. in the papers fled in
court. stated that he was desirous OF
serving in foreign territory. but was ad-
vised that he would have no lawful right
to do SO as an officer of the National
Guard, but must do so as volunteer.
The proceedings is to test the orders of
Secretary Of War Garrison under the
recent organized militia bill. These or
ders were sent to all the National Guards
and have been put into effect by the ad-
jutant generals Of the various National
Guards. The officers and soldiers of the
respective National Guards were directed
upon the receipt of the proper appro-
United States upon the declaration Of
war or the imminence thereof to mobi-
lize as directed within or without the
territory of the United States.

mission of his superiors to bring proceed
ings in the court to test the constitu-
tionality of these orders. The suit was
begun at Cleveland April IS and Judge

appeal was filed in the Supreme Court to-
day and motion filed to advance the
case for hearing at once.
