Never Too ate

Rev. Madison Peters said of New

I'D advise every one with bad

off hopefully.
Some poor fellow, especially
among the alcohol, think it's too late
their lives are ruined-no hope is
left.
But, as always point out to them,
a man is never too old to reform,

realize this truth"

ARMS EMBARGO.
Munitions Of War May Now Be
Exported Into Mexico.
NO RECOGNITION OF REBELS.
Executive Order Under Which ship
ments Of Munitions Were For
hidden Declared To Have
Been a Departure.

Washington.-President Wilson, by
an executive order removed all re-
strictions 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 into 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
tions in Mexico as were the other
powers.
Text Of Order Given Out.
The text Of the proclamation is as
follows:
Whereas by a proclamation Of the
President issued on March IA, 1912,
under joint resolution of Congress
approved by the President on the
same day, it was declared that there
existed in Mexico conditions Of do
mestic 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 muni-
tions of war to Mexico except un-
der such limitations and exceptions
as the President should prescribe;
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Will
son, President Of the United States
of America, hereby declare and pro-
claim 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
exploration Of arms or munitions Of
war to Mexico in the position as other
powers, the said proclamation is here
by revoked"
Explanation Also Issued.
Accompanying the order the White
House issued the following statement
of explanation:
4u0 0ASCuLlN6 OTQ6r uQQ6r winch
the expectation of arms and ammuni-
tion into Mexico is forbidden was
departure from the accepted practices
of neutrality-a deliberate departure
from those practices under a well.
considered joint resolution Of Con
gress-determined upon in circum.
stances which have now ceased to ex.
ist. 1t was intended to discourage
incipient revolts against the regularly
constituted authorities of Mexico
Since that order was issued the cir.
cumstances Of the case have under.
gone radical change. There is now
no constitutional government in Mex
leo, and the existence of this order
hinders and delays the very thing the
of the United States is
now insisting upon-namely, that Mex.
leo shall be left free to settle her own
acairs; and as soon as possible put !
them upon a constitutional footing by
her own force and counsel. The or
der is, therefore, rescinded."
