French Fleet in Action

LONDON, (Tuesday) Sept PA dispatch to the Daily Mail from Ven ice dated Sunday, says the French fleet at that time had been in action for the last forty-eight hours bom- barding the port of Cattaro.
 A wireless to the Marconi company from Berlin gives the following of ficial statement issued from the German capitol:
 There is no change in the situation in any of the theaters of war and the report concerning the victorious advance of the enemy is untrue. Re ports of the fall of two of the Przemysl forts are inventions. The Austrian government alleges the Rus sian troops are using dunn dunn car tridges and in the course of their pro- test they remarked it is not the present intention of the commander in-chief of the Austro- Hungarian army to adopt reprisals."
 A Central News dispatch from Rome says the following telegram was received there from Petrogad:
 "The right wing of the Austrians has been driven beyond the Carpa- thians into Hungary where they are being pursued by the Russians. The Austrian debacle is complete, and they lost all their artillery. The Aus trians' left wing has retreated to Cracow The Russians captured an- other PrZemysl fort"

 WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-There is little doubt in congressional circles tonight that the bill for the govern ment purchase of merchant ships would go over to the winter session without action. The president in conference with House leaders de- clared he still thought it advisable to pass the measure immediately, and would urge that it be taken up He was told, however, by both ad- vocates and opponents of the project that there is powerful sentiment against the beginning of considera- ton of the bill at this time.

Proclamation of March II, 1912, Re-

Washington, February 3.-Presi-
dent Wilson, by an executive order
dated today and made public at the
White House tonight, removed all re-
strictions against the expectation of
munitions of war into Mexico from the
United States, placing the contending
Mexican elements on basis of equal

The executive order emphasized that
III was the desire of the United States
to he in the snme position Of neutrality
toward the cOntending factions in Mex
fcc as were the other powers.
The text of the proclamation follows:
Whereas, by. a proclamation of the
President issued ON March a. 1872 under
Ia joint resolution of Congress, approved
by the President on the same day. it was
declared that there existed in Mexico

President Lifts Mexican Embargo;
Americans Prepare To Flee Capital
REBELS REJOICE.

Juarez, Mex, February 3-fhe
reports from washington that
President Wilson had lifted the
charge against expectation of
firearms to Mexico caused keen
Joy among rebel leaders today.
General villa said his army no
longer would be handicapped by
difficulty in getting ammuni-
ton.
1t is likely that money in
rebel treasury viii be appropri-
ated at once for the purchase of
firearms and ammunition and
large orders will be placed in
the United States.
"Onee more we have proof
that the United States is the
greatest friend the Mexican peo-
pie have said Villa. This
latest act of friendship will do
more than anything else to bind
the two countries together, and
| predict that when the revolu-
tion is ended, which will be
soon. Mexico and the United
States will be more closely
united.

SAY FOREIGNERS HAVE
NOTHING TO FEAR

The minister expressed the opinion that
foreigners in Mexico City had nothing
to fear, as appeared to be indicated by
the instructions to Charge Shaughnessy.
He said he did not believe lifting the
embargo would greatly aid the rebels,
but the thing Mexico had TO fear was
that the United States might extend finan-
ciai aid to the rebels.
Mexicans holding official positions and
friends of the administration generally
profess not to believe that President Will
son improved materially the position of
arms and ammunitons, but a fear that
financial assistance also might be ac-
corded was expressed frankly tonight by
Senior Moheno, minister of foreign af-
fairs
Although there is no disposition to con-
fuse President Wilson's act as recogni-
ton of the belligerency of the rebels,
those at the national palace tonight as
serted that 1t would have virtually the
same effect. The fact that the removal
of the embargo permits the free exporta-
ton of arms from the United States to
either faction brings from officials here
sneer. and they point out that the prox-
unity of the rebels to the United States
and the admitted impoverishment of the
federal government leaves no doubt as
TO whsh side will be the greater bene-
