ReprissI is Next

The president has not made known
what plan Of action to lay before con-
gress, but the discussion up to this
time has indicated that the next deci-
sive step would be one Of those
measures described BY international
authorities as measures short Of
war" known as reprisal or pacific
blockade.
The pacific blockade is not favor
ably regarded as effective, for while
it would put restraint on the ships
Of Mexico it would not assure a stop
in the shipping Of rOreign powers
dealing with Mexico.
Reprisal, therefore, has appeared ito
furnished the method bestai ips,1 to-
dressing an offense such as the dde
now being dealt with. Reprisal is
usually carried out by the sequestra-
ton or seizrue of property belonging
to the offending state and hold 1t un-
! til redress is given international
authorities hold this is "a means Of
putting stress on a wrongdoIng state
by procedure short Of war.
Discussing the probabilities, Senator
simmons, one Of the administration S
LEADERS, said the action Of congress
doubtless would be similar to that
talsen before the war with Spain in
Cuba Congress undoubtedly would
give the president plenary power to
deal with the Mexicans as he saw Fit
to uphold the honor Of the govern
mont, said Senator Simmons.
1T would also adopt general re-
solution broad in it's terms, that
would give the president a free hand
Authority to uphold the honor Of the
natson and to afford protection t
life and property would come within
the authorization that congress wouls
