Washington, d. C.-Pregident Will
son, by an executive order, made pub
lie at the White House, removed all
restrictions against the expectation Of
munitions of war into Mexico from
the United States, placing the con-
tending elements on basis of equal
ity with respect to the purchase OF
arms and supplies in this country.
The executive order emphasized
that it was the desire of the United
States to be in the same position OF
neutrality toward the contending fac
lions in Mexico as were the other
Powers. The text Of the proclama-
ton follows:
Whereas, BY proclamation of the
President, issued ON March IA, 1912,
under joint resolution OF Congress
approved by the President on the
same day, 1t was declared that there
existed in Mexico conditions OF do.
nestle violence which were promoted
by the use of arms or munitions of
war procured from the United States;
and,
Whereas, by the joint resolution
above mentioned it thereupon became
unlawful to export arms or munitions
of war to Mexico except under such
limitations and exceptions as the
President should prescribe;
Nov, therefore, |, Woodrow Will
son, President Of the United States of
America, hereby declare and proclaim
that, as the conditions on which the
proclamation of March IA, 1912, was
based, have essentially changed, and
as it is desirable to place the United
States with reference to the exporta-
ton Of arms or munitions of war to
Mexico in the same position as other
Powers, the said proclamation is here
by revoked"
Accompanying the order, the White
House issued the following statement
of explanation:

THOUSANDS ARE DROWNED
Flooding Country by Cutting the
Dykes Caught Many Germans and
Defeat at Hands of 5eleians Also
Caused Heavy Loss.

London, Oct. 25.-2:O2 a. m.-The
Sunday Observers correspondent in
the department of Pas de Calais,
France, says that through the cutting
of the dykes southeast of Dixmunde.
a large German force has been flood
ed out, some estimating the German
losses there at 5000 drowned. besides
10000 killed and wounded.
This may give some hint, the dis,
patch adds, as to what is meant when
it is declared the fighting in this
region is the most desperate of the
entire war thus ia
A large number of women spies
have been captured and promptly shot
near Dixmunde. Several of them de-
clared they had been terrorized into
practicing espionage. They had no
idea of the risk they We're running or
the penalty for their offense.
The Belgian field army is doing
staunch work around Dixmunde.
Four times on Thursday afternoca the
Germans charged Belgian trenches
with bayonet along the whole front.
Each time they were repulsed with
heavy losses.
Regarding its local aspect the Ger
man retreat toward Thielt after the
repulse at Dixmunde may be de-
scribed as rout, for although the
retreat was covered by German artil-
lery the French took more than 1900
prisoners, including ZOO wounded.
Some Of them believed they were
within 20 miles of Paris.
