RAISING ARMS EMBARGO
WITHOUT PARALLEL
Means Recognition Of Mexican
Rebels as Belligerents,
SAYS London Editor.
INV cable 10 The tribune. !

London. Feb 4.-President Wilson's
removal of the embargo on the exporta-
ton OF arms and ammunition from the
United states 10 Mexico Is described
by 1.-THE Daily Telegraph as an ex-
tremey grave step. The newspaper
continues: 1T is apparently the idea
NJ the American government that X
the embargo is lifted the rebels VIII
thus be enabled to procure the means
of active warfare and Will be able to
overturn the Huerta regime whose
continued existence is such cause OF
offence TO Washington. For several
months past President Wilson has been
credited with the intention Of lifting
the embargo on arms. but so far he
has RETAINED from a measure which
certainly finds no parallel In modern
history The virtual removal Of the
prohibition means formal recognition OF
the rebels ms belligerents and creates a
precedent which It would seem Presi-
dent Wilson was at least originally
very anxious TO avoid.
"In view Of the new policy indicated
from Washington he position of many
American citizens living in Mexico IS
interesting and may become danger
Gus. II is already stated that Amerl-
cans in the capital are preparing for
fight. Perhaps they are wise. for a
man who fought his way to power over
the corpse of his predecessor is not
man TO be tri1ed with"
The Daily Chronicle says: The
American President. to whose non-rec-
ogniton of General Huerta the non
SUCCESS Of the latter is mainly due,
cannot remain indefinitely a spectator
of the chaos of which in some sense he
is the cause. He must do one or two
things: either put down Huerta him
self or help the rebels TO do so. He
has decided in favor Of the second
C urse This is the meaning of the
of the frontier to the arms
traffic, an act which will Immediately
strengthen the rebels against Huerta,
but which will also contingent'y
strengthen Mexico against any Ameri-
can invasion"
The Daily News" says: President
Wilson's action will enable the Consti
to get all the military sup
plies they need, and is notable step
toward a recognition Of their full bel
ligerent character. Opposition TO
Huerta can hardly fail as result
thereof TO become much more formula
bic. but it remains TO he seen whether
the change will be considerable enough
TO enable them rapidly to overthrow
Huerta. 1t is to be hoped so, for as
things are the defeat and downfall Of
Huerta are a necessary preliminary to
the restoration of peace and order in
Mexico"

Declare II Means That the
Revolution Will Be
Quickly Ended.
VILLA WARM IN
PRAISE OF MOVE
Sees in II Proof That the United
States Is Best Friend of
Mexican People.

.Juarez. Mexico. Feb. 3--The news from
Washington that President Wilson had
lifted the embargo against expectation OF
arms TO Mexico caused Joy among rebel
leaders.
General villa said that his army would
no longer be handicapped in getting am
munition. II is likely that money In the
rebel treasury will he appropriated at
once for the purchase OF arms and ammu-
milton. and that large orders will he placed
i'm the United States.
"Once more We have proof that the
United States Is the greatest friend the
Mexican people 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
revolution is ended-which will be soon
now-Mexico and the United States will
be more closely allied than ever before"
Next to learning about the lifting OF the
embargo the rebels were anxious TO have
the news reach the Federal lines. They
thought the information would result In
demoralizing the Ttrreon Federals. and
even might cause them to evacuate that
city at the opening OF the attack. General
Villa believed the news would be withheld
from them
warning was issued by General Villa
to-day that all Spaniards captured in the
Torreon campaign will be summary
dealt with.
81 am making this statement now"
said General Villa. so that no surprise
will be expressed later and to give such
Spaniards a chance TO leave the country
before they fall into my hands | hope
this notice to the United States and TO
Spain will be accepted as a friendly warn
ing.
THE last time we took Torreon | capt
uied seventy-one Spaniards. Each OF
them promised never TO take up arms
against me again. but now find that all
Spaniards in Torreon have armed. There
fore. | say they will be shot If captured
Those against whom / have no positive
proof will be banished from the country
as other Spanards were from Chihuahua
"In this connection let me say that
Americans may have no fear. | regard
the high dignity with which Americans
have conducted themselves during this
revolution as a friendly act toward our
cause ! feel the deepest friendship
toward the United States. All American
property will be protected"
Washington, Feb. General Villas
announcement OF his intention to execute
Spanish residents of Torreon who have
sided with the Federal forces may fur
Their test the ability Of the United States
to enforce its policy Of protecting foreign
residents Of Mexico.
Secretary Bryan said to-day that he pre-
ferred not to discuss press dispatches in
regard to Villas proposed action, but
would wait until something was received
through official sources. He said. how
ever. that the attitude OF the government,
had been made perfectly plain on this

AIRY Conviction" Says Elder.

When | came into court this morning
people came TO me and said: Well, Elder,
It's in the air / think that 1t is in the
air / think that the conviction OF Cas-
sidy was an airy conviction.
According to the statement OF the Dis
trict Attorney, the jury was selected be-
cause they were prejudiced against man
who was a practical and successful politi-
clan. They gave a verdict accordingly
They possessed rhe qualifications called
for.
I'VE were pleased" he went on, at the
charge OF Justice Jaycox to the jury, al
though We thought thal many OF his rul-
ings might have been bette conceived. It
is on these rulings and not on anything In
his charge to the jury that We will ask
for a certificate Of reasonable doubt and a
reversal of judgment.
II don't think political convictions do
any good in the administration Of Justice.
It's worse for the law TO be violated and
distorted in court than II is for laymen,
who are not supposed TO know the law

that the embargo be lifted last August,
said: Il believe that to raise the embargo
is the only thing to do. | believe that it
will bring peace in Mexico much soone:
than II could otherwise be brought
II have been down in Mexico and on
the border and know the conditions.
said Senator Mark Smith. OF Arizona. an
other member Of the Foreign Relations
Committee. There is no question that
it is the wise course TO pursue
That the lifting OF the embargo will
result in the speedy dissolution Of the
Huerta government is doubted by Sena-
tors on both sides Of the chamber. The
belief prevails that Villa and Carranza
have recruited their forces 10 approx
mately their full strength, and that every
able bodied man within the territory con-
trolled by them who is disposed to go
into the field has already been armed.
Expect Huerta to Stick for Some Time.
The early downfall OF HUerta is not ex-
pected. Villa is regarded as hardly in
position to cut loose from the North and
make his trial of strength with Huerta
without maintaining means VI SOHlliulil-
cation with the border. Carranza also
cannot move because of the Federal gar
rsons at Guaymas and other places who
would be expected 10 harass the country
If he were TO leave it,
Ii is also pointed out by those in touch
with the Mexican situation that the
strength of Huerta, which lies an the
south. has not been fully tested. The
veterans of the Mexican army have not
been sent to the north 10 do battle with
Villa and Carranza. Huerta has kept
them in close proximity TO the City Of
Mexico. If Villa SHOULD try TO take the
capital he would doubtless have the
greatest struggle OF his military career
in overcoming these forces.
Members Of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee profess TO he ignorant OF the ulu-
mate purpose OF the administration
policy, but they do not critcise it on this
score. Even if Villa should bring about
the downfall OF Huerta, il is not foreseen
how constitutional government can be
established unless the United States takes
pronounced steps to sustain 1t.

cable from Buenos Aires placed
the shipment Of wheat from Argen-
tine this week at 100000 bushels,
which was nearly double the actual
shipments for the corresponding time
last year. There were other weaken
ing influences facing the bulls in
wheat and one Of them was the de-
cline in corn and the report that
reached here from Oklahoma that
heavy sales of wheat were made in
that state Wednesday and Thursday
and that this grain would be moved
as rapidly as it was threshed.
While the big cash trade in wheat
during the past few days on milling
account has attracted the speculative
world. there are some in the trade who
figure that these sales are anything
but bullish. because of the fact that
harvesting is now under way in the
far southwest and that the new wheat
will soon commence TO move in large
enough quantities 10 prove a Dearish
factor.
Corn showed losses of SIS a 1c. The
