'SqWDER SUPPLY CUT
OFF, HUERTA YIELDED
Secretary of Navy Daniels Reveals
Patriotism of American
Manufacturers.
GIVES SOME INSIDE HISTORY

Inside history Of the near-war with
Mexico Is now being revealed. At the
Navy Department it was learned that
one OF the prime causes Of the weak
yielding Of President Huerts to media
ton, following almost on the heels of
his bristling defiance OF the United States
in the Tampico nag incident, was the
voluntary refusal Of the government pow
der makers, the du Points. and other
American manufacturers of munitions Of
war to supply the dictator with powder.
Secretary Of the Navy Josephus Daniels
was the one who revealed this interest
ing phase of recent history.
Mr.. Daniels said the powder companies
were under no restraint from this gov
ernment. that a. soon as the crisis with
Mexico was reached the du Points ceased
to ship powder into Mexico.
The Secretary praised this action for
pure patriotism. Whether every Ameri-
can powder company took this course he
as certain that the du Points and most
OF the others did.
Without this American supply Of pow
der. Huerta was helpless. The European
nations hesitated to risk Yankee wrath
by hlling Mexican powder orders. Huerta
was thus left with only the supply from
his own powder mills.
Mexican powder makers understand the
manufacture only Of the old-fashioned
black powder. II cannot compare in ef-
fectveness with modern smokeless pow
der. The range of q rife with black
powder Is far short OF that of q rife
shooting with smokeless powder. With
such an advantage in powder. the Ameri-
can soldiers could expect to meet sue
cessfully the Mexican sniping and bush
whacking type Of warfare by keeping out
of black-powder range and picking on
the sharpshooters.
The knowledge Of his disadvantage in
this respect was q powerful argument
with Huerta to accept mediation.
