ULSTERMEN IN COUP
LAND 10000 NEW
RIFLES IN IRELAND.
At DEAD Of NIGHT.
German Vessel Transshipped
Arms and Five Million
Rounds of Ammunition at
Sea-PoIice 0utWitted.
BELFAST, Ireland, April 25.-

BELFAST, Ireland, April 25.-
Outwitting the authorities, the
Unionists of Ulster today success
fully carried out the greatest gun
running" in the history of Ireland
and landed 10000 rifles, which
have been distributed throughout
Ulster.
Five million rounds of ammuni-
tion were landed at Larne. With
this war material at hand the Ulster
leader declared they were now
ready to resist to the limit the en-
forcement of home rule.
The rifles and ammunition left
Hamburg on the steamship Fanny
a month ago and were landed sue
cessfully last night in three coz
signments at Larne, Bangor, and
Donaghadee.
Automobiles Were Used.
Early this morning 100 automo-
biles were pressed into service
and the entire volunteer force of
$4,000 men in the Belfast district
turned to the task of distributing
the arms throughout Ulster.
The authorities had believed the
gathering of the volunteers was
merely a mobilization test and
were taken by surprise when the
automobiles began rushing away.
The Fanny had transshipped her
cargo. en- route TO Belfast to two
small steamers. One of these
carrying $4,000 rifles, arrived at
Larne at 10 o'clock last night.
he unloading was completed by 3
a. m. The town had been COM
pletely cordoned. All wires were
cut, and the authorities were un-
able to communicate with Belfast.
The Ulstermen had established
such a heavy guard that the po-
lice were helpless.
In the meantime a large force of
volunteers had assembled at the
docks in Belfast as a blind. They
had wagons with them and extra
guards of police watched them
throughout the night.
Volunteers Were Waiting.
During this time the unloading
of arms and ammunition was in
progress at the three other points.
At Bangor 5000 rifles were brought
ashore in motor launches. One
thousand volunteers were waiting
IN motor cars and as fast as the
rifles were brought ashore they
we're hurried away to the arsenais
established throughout Ulster.

necessity for additional funds grows.
Watch For Complications.
Meanwhile officialdom is watching
closely for unforeseen complications.
The situation of all Americans in Mex
leo is the real danger point.
The massacre of Americans at this
time would be followed by immediate
action by the President. That is ad-

But the forces are being shaped for

President believes that the nations-with
the exception of Spain-wilI permit the
United States a free hand in Mexico in
every way. 1t was because he did not

President withheld execution OF his gen.
eral order to blockade the east and
west coast ports in Mexico.
The Ifgular channels OF commerce

way. Cargoes are allowed free entry

from Admiral Badger. who reported
that Admiral Mayo had wired him that

who trust in thee, look down
in mercy, we humbly. beseech
thee, upon this nation, and
guide US in our high endeavor

This terse extract from a cable dis

Blockade Would Stop
$248, 900, 600 Commerce

A blockade OF Mexico probably would
result in a complete stopping of Mex
lean imports and exports, which. ac-
cording TO figures compiled by the Bu-
reau OF Foreign and Domestic Com
merce. were valued at S2IS.00O.000 in 1918
More than half OF this amount was ex-
ports.
The United States in 1913 took II per
cent of the exports of Mexico, and sup
Piled 30 per cent of the imports. The
record for 1914 so far compiled indicates
that the total Mexican imports and ex-
ports are about the same as in 1918, the
United States having a slightly smaller
percentage Of merchandise sold to Mex
ico and received from Mexico.
This country's imports from Mexico
are mostly crude mineral oil, coffee,
sisal. pig copper. lead, mahogany, and
crude rubber. Our exports to Mexico
are mainly cotton goods. structural
iron a. steel, farming tools and ma
chinery, railway equipment. wire. corn,
vbeat and lard

Vera Cruz Amazed at Being Fed and Nursed as Ma

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, April 25.-The poor poems of
Vera Cruz accustomed only to abuse and virtual slavery
cannot understand the Americans They cannot under
stand how the American marines and bueackets shoot
and kill day and then feed shelter and nurse their
enemies the next.

and Wednesday, But now they being cared for Ex-
reme measures have been taken to make the city in which
they live sanitary in every respect Refugees waiting last
night for train to take them to Mexico City were fed by

Consider Using Navy's
Aero Reserve Corps

Plans for calling into action the aero
reserve corps of the navy were dis
cussed today by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels and A. B. Lambert, Of St
Louis, head of the corps
Lambert told Daniels that In event OF
active warfare the corps could supply
between seventy-five and one hundred
experienced fiiers-an pledged now to
the service Of their country. The aerial
squadron would be of invaluable ser
vice, 1t was pointed out, in reconnois-
sance, in surveying the country in ad-
vance of its movements into the
enemy's country. and in all the tacticsa
and strategic movements Of the CAM
paign-
1t is probable that II the services Of
the aerial reserve corps is needed, they
will be transferred to the aviation d.

GOOD TARGETS

Because the snow-white "trop-

tial clerk to Secretary of Navy
Daniels vii recommend that
a different color uniform be
adopted for use for landing
parties. Smith served in the
