Can Replenish Munitions.
Discussion centered chiefly on the
question of shipping arms and am
munition through Tampico. The con-
stitutionalists, short of ammunition,
are certain to avail themselves of
their first seaport to import war sup
plies for the campaign against Mex

ment has never made a clear defini-
tion of its policy toward shipment of
arms into Mexico from countries 9TH
er than the United States. Arms
were prevented from reaching Huerta
through Vera Cruz because the Gus

in any quantity.
The presence o. the Huerta gun
boats in Tampico harbor after evac-

that it is with the purpose
of learning whether Admiral Mayo
would respect such a blockade that
the commanders of the federal gun
boats asked for a conference. Naval
experts here agree that so long as

London, Sept. 5.-In the English
parliament there is a party of men
who, at the first sign of hope that
CLEANS through the war cloud, will
turn to the United States.
Francis Nelson is one Of the mem
bers of the group in parliament who
believes England must fight with all
her might as long as fighting is abso-
lutely necessary, but that she ought
to seek peace at the first honorable
moment. Nelson said to me:
1T ought not to be thought in Am
erica that the overtures of President
Wilson have fallen on deaf ears in
this country. / hope the day will
come when his influence in the mat
ter will be felt throughout Europe.
1t is a pity that the example he set
in Mexico-one of patience and deep
understanding-has not been follow
ed in Europe
DO you think the crux of deciding
the European conflict may fall on

II think 1T Is quite possible" he
replied Wilson Introduced moralt

not much morality to be gained from
