SHIPMENT OF ARMS INTO MEX ICO IS PROHIBITED BY THE
 ADMINISTRATION.
WORRYING OVER CARRANZA
Mexican and United States Diplomats Given Their Passports and Leave Countries-Rapid Movement of thN Troops Has Been Ordered.

Washington, April Secretary Garrison announced at D. Tn. the embargo against shipments of arms into Mexico from the United States had been restored.
 The restoration of the embargo on arms was officially announced after the encouragement of General Car ranza, the constitutionaist chief. While Mexican constitutionalists here protested that Carranzas real atti- tude was friendly, the American gov ernment decided to take no chances, and abruptly stopped the shipment into Mexico.
 President Wilson earlier in the day had issued a statement warning General CarTanza, the constitutional ist chief, that the United States was dealing now and would continue to deal with those whom Huerta com mands and those who come to his support"
 Both Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American charge, and Senor Algara, the charge of the Mexican embassy, have been given their passports. This is not regarded by the Wash ington government as presaging war, but a declaration of war by Huerta would not be unexpected.
 Tho United States has chosen Brazil to look after it's interests in Mexico. Where there are no Brazil ian consuls, French consuls will act for the United States.
 During the day a special reserve fleet ranging from dreadnaughts to tiny gunboats was ordered to the At lantic coast of Mexico.
 No fighting of any consequence was reported from Vera Cruz, though the American land forces pushed their way three miles inland to some importanf breastworks to make their position secure. Rear Admiral Fletcher and American officers were occupied most of the day handling numbers of American refugees. Brit ish and German vessels took off more than 200 refugees at Tampico and a general exodus of Americans from Mexico cities was reported
 The senate passed the house bill appropriating $500,000 to care for American refugees. Senator Borah declared in the debate that condi- ton of actual war existed between the United States and Mexico. Sena- tors Lodge and Weeks urged that the embargo be replaced along the entire border.
 Rear Admiral Badger requested permission to capture all Mexican eunboats and vessels carrying troops or ammunition for the aid of the Mexicans around Vera Cruz.
 These were the outstanding devel- opments which came in sequence through day of extreme tension. The national capital was nervous with excitement while the diplomatic relations of the Huerta government and the United States were being | finally severed and the army and navy continued to put themselves on war basis. Revelation of the pur- noses of Carranza and Huerta are being awaited before a military cam naign is developed. The United States intends to take no offensive stems for the present, preferring to hold Vera Cruz until the situation in Mexico City and elsewhere in the southern republic cryystalizes.
 There were frequent conferences between President Wilson and Secre- taries Bryan, Garrison, Daniels, Me

SCORES RUSSIANS
SAYS BELLS AFFAIR WAS DARK
EST TRAGEDY OF THE JEWS
IN RECENT YEARS.
tBy HERMAN RIDDER. !,

New York. Oct. 1.-The well known
secretary of the American Jewish
committee, Herman Bernstein In his
preface to the American Jewish,
Year Book" which appears today,
says:
The Bells affair has constituted
the darkest tragedy OF the Jews in
recent years. The evil forces of the
Russian empire conspired against
them an innocent Jew was tortured
In prison for two years and q half,
and the entire Jewish people in Rus
STA was threatened with pogrom
panics through this political conspir-
acy. In the Bells affair. the Russia n
governments policy of cruel. militant
anti-Ser,itism reached it's culmina-
ton. Just as the civilized world was
shocked at the kishined massacres.
so ii was appalled, when the Russia n
government revised the infamous
blood legend for the purpose of dis
crediting the Jewish people ana 1usti-
Tying new massacres."
Some weeks ago il was reported
from Europe that the czar had is
sued an ukase, promising to the Jews
IN Russia complete civil rights Using
this ukase as his text, Israel Zangwill
he noted Jewish author and play
wright of England. sent out to the
Jews of neutral countries mot long
after an appeal for Jewish sympa thy
and Jewish prayers for Great Britain
N her present war for freedom
1t is apparent from the tone Of the
Jewish press in the United States, and
from letters written by prominent
members of the Jewish community
that Mr.. Zangwilrs 'manifesto' has
fallen. so far as this country is con-
cerned, upon sterile soil. The British
advertising clique was unfortunate in
he choice of MIR. Zangwill as the man
20 address the Jews of the world, for
great as his work has been in the
field Of literature, he has come TO be
regarded by Jews the world over. with
The possible exception Of those in
England. as one no longer In touch
with the sufferlngs Of his race in less
tolerant countries and one who has
little sympathy with the true racial
aspirations of his people. But even
had Mr.. Zangwill been the one man
TO appeal, on the strength Of the Rus
sian ukase, for Jewish sympathy for
England, what had he to offer them
in return for such sympathy. or as
an excuse for his appeal
The story of the Jew in America
is known to all--of the Jew in Europe
to not so many. I know it sufficiently
well to state, however, that in Eng
land alone have the Jewish people
received complete civil rights. In
France and Germany their condition
is not so good as in England, but II is
as far divided from their condition
In Russia and the Balkan states as
nigh heaven Is from hell The great
ma jority of the Jews in this country
come not from the British Isles, but
from Russia and southeastern Eu-
rope, and have come here to escape
the horrors of the prosecutions to
which they were subjected there. 1t
is not probable that such Jews will
lend their prayers to the Anglo-Rus-
sian combine until the condition OF
their race In Russia has been def
nitely and concretely improved.

about two-thirds OF last years crop,
in spite of the drought that prevailed
for some weeks after planting. With
the foreign buyers practically off the
market, prices are uniformly lower
than last years, as was to be ex-
pected.
Commercial conditions locally show
little change, but while sales are in
smaller volume than last year, con-
ditions as a whole have improved in
the past six weeks, and cancellations
of orders have practically ceased
Some manufacturers are busy with re-
Gently placed orders for foreign ship

Improvement is looked for in the near
future.
Much interest was shown In the
'Pan-Southern Trade Conference held
here during the past week. the object
of which was to form organizations
for the promotion of trade with Latin
American countries, and 1t is thought
that good reallts were obtained.

Local building operations are much

effect on the lumber and material
