MILLION ADDED BY HOUSE
Lower River Appropriation Is Now
$1,000. 900.

Washington.-The house committee
on rivers and harbors voted to increaW
the appropriation of $500, 900 for
levees and revetment on the lower
Mississippi to $1,000, 600. This is an
increase of 1000, 900 over the allow
ance for the current year. 1t is sur
missed that this one million additional
was intended as a small measure of
compensation for opposition to the
principles of the Ransdell-H Humphreys
bill. But the committee did not place
the project under the continuing con.
tract system, which, If 1t had been
done, would have assured the contin-
uance of work under a definite plan

WILSON ENDORSED
BY COMMITTEE
IT ORDERS FAVORABLE REPORTS
ON ARBITRATION TREATIES.

MISUNDERSTANDING promptly
to President Wilson's appeal, made at
the White House conference, the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations
ordered favorable reports on a large
number of arbitration treaties between
the United States and the leading coun-
tries of the world. These were laid
before the senate later in executive
session and will come up for ratiiica-
ton in the dear future.
This action will rehabilitate that ex-
tensive structure of arbitration which
by the expiration OF the time limit of
one treaty after another, until all
either had expired or We're about to
expire. While the treaties are yet to
be ratified, favorable action of the COM
mittee and the strong incentive given
by the presidents appeal, promises
to lead to early and favorable action.
The far-reaching character Of this
group Of treaties is shown by the long
list OF first rate powers with which
they are made, including most OF he
great powers of Europe, South America
and the Orient. On the list are Great
Britain, Japan, Italy, Spain, Norway.
Sweden, Portugal, Switzerland and
France. Similar treaties which will
expire within a year or two, exist with
The Netherlands. Denmark, China,
Austria-Hungary, Peru, Salvador, Costa
Rica. Paraguay, Haiti, Ecuador, Brazil
and Uruguay.
Another treaty of the same kind with
Mexico expired last June and was
not renewed.
The senate committee considered
those of the treaties soon to expire,
and agreed inasmuch as they are iden-
tical with the eight recommended for
extension, that they should be APP
proved for extension as rapidly as they
expire.
Aside from the importance of these
treaties in the cause of arbitration,
some have a larger significance in af-
fecting political and international re-
lationS between the United States and
other countries. 1t is understood to
have been the purpose of President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan in urging
prompt ratification to establish a pa
citic bulwark to further lessen the pos
sibility Of complications on any Of the
existing foreign problems.
All the treaties acted on are viz

Washington, Feb. president WI.
son, by an executive order dated yes

House last night, removed all restriS
lions against the expectation of munt
tons of war into Mexico from this
United States, placing the ~contendins
Mexican elements on a basis of equal
ity with respect to the purchase Of
arms and supplies in this country.

1t was the desire of the United States

ity toward the c~ontending factions ia
Mexico as We're the other powers.

parture from the accepted practice Of

Many members Of congress are con-
fdent the presidents action means the
termination of the reyolut ion in a short
time. Senators did not venture pre-
dictions as to what kind Of govern
ment would succeed, but they pointed
out that the constitutionalists had a
semblance of organized and regulated
power, even though they had not es-
tablished civil government in the terri
tory under their control. They do not
feel that the time has come for the
United States to recognize the con.
~stitutionalist forces as belligerents in
the diplomatic sense. and persons
close to the administration were care
full to point out that today's develop.
