Tonight this city is under a strong
military guard, while soldiers line
the river banks and guard the two
bridges. When two Mexicans at
tempted to dynamite the international
and railroad bridges during the fire,
they were shot down by American
sharp-shooters.
With the trong wind prevailing,
and Neuvo Laredo being a mass OF
leaping flames, it is probable that the
greater part of the city will be con-
sumed by fire before morning. The
fire is eneroaehing on the railroad
bridge across the river and develop
ments are being closely watched. In
order to save the bridge if it comes
in contact with the flames, volunteers
may be rushed over from this side
tonight.
1t was discovered tonight that a
party of eight men were left behind
by the Mexican federals with instruc-
tons to spare nothing. One Of these
! fiends was in the act of burning a
store there when he was shot dead by
the proprietor who had been hiding in
the place.
A. Zunga, city clerk Of Neuvo La
redo, who was amonog the refugees
to this city tonight, stated that the
loss in buildings burned today was
approximately 100000.
A report IS current here tonigh
that several hundred of the Mexican
federals detrained three miles from
Neuvo Laredo and are camped there
This has caused the United States

cans may attempt to shell this cit!

Sound Neutrality.

President WILSON disappgoval of
the building of submarines for the
European belligerents by Americans
seems sound international law and
sound neutrality.
If it was contrary to neutrality for
England to permit the building of the
Alabama in her ports and its depar-
ture to prey on the commerce of this
country during the civil war, the same
principle would seem to apply to sub
marines.
Nor would this principle be affected,
apparently, by the device of building
the various parts of the submarine
and shipping them to Canada to be
put together. That would be an
evasion and not a compliance with
the spirit OF the law.
The layman naturally asks why it
should not be as contrary to neutrality
to permit the manufacture and ship
ment of arms to belligerents as the
construction and departure of a warship
or other armed expedition.
1t might, if the entire question
were to be examined and settled
de novo. But it isn't because interna-
tional rules on such subjects have al
ready grown up and these control,
They establish plain distinction be-
tween the two proceedings
We can sell the belligerents ali the
arms and other forms of contraDand
we want to, with the risk of seizure
by belligerents on the other side. We
can't permit armed expeditions or
armed slips to be equipped or leave
our shores, under any circumstances.
Some day the distinction may be
done away with. Then our duty will
be different. Today the distinction
exists. is recognized everywhere, and
there is no ground for complaint if we
observe it.---Chiago Harald.
