notified the New York branch of the
American Red Cross of their willingness
to go to Mexico in the event of armed
intervention in that country. All have
been informed that no orders of any kind
have been received from the national
headquarters at Washington.
At the last meeting OF the American
Red Cross, in January, II was reported
that 4,2O0 nurses throughout the country
were registered II is believed that the
number is now 5000. All are regularly
trained nurses now employed In private
and public hospitals or In private prac-
tice Registration does not carry obliGa-
ton of compulsory service. but IL the
call should come, II is believed the ma
jority of those on the list would respond.
Red Cross nurses receive the same
nav as army nurses, $50 a month for SER
vice in the country and $50 month out
side the country, with board and lodging,

Manuel A. Esteva. the new Mexican

1T goes without saying that u

to "A declaration OF war" said Mr. Esteva

will come the task of going further. The
task will become much more difficult.

contemplate the seizure OF MEXICAN ports
or the seizure OF vessels that attempt to
enter or leave these ports after block
ade had been established and called atten-
ton to the fact that the vast majority
of writers on international law agree that
there can be no such seizure unless war
exists. A condition Of war Is a condition
of fact and does not wait upon the formal
pronouncement OF Governments.
Coudert Points Out Diniculties.
Frederic r. Coudert pointed out for
THE Sun some of the difficulties lying In
the way of establishing a pacific block
ade" without actually involving the coun-
try In war. In his opinion any blockade
must have the authority OF force behind
It and the employment OF force Is tanta-
mount 10 war.
when We speak OF pacific blockade "
he said. I'VE are dealing with matters OF
near Technology. blockade Is an act
that interrupts the usual acts OF peace.
IL Is a measure OF force in that II pre-
vents the ingress and egress OF vessels
from the ports of the blockaded country
| and in far as force is used 1t is a
measure of war.
Nearly always a pacific blockade is
incident to war. The nation whose ports
are blockaded might acauiesce and refuse
to treat the blockade as sufficient cause
for war. A weak nation might accept the
blockade as "A declaration OF war so as
to force the bockading nation to take
more drastic measures against II. There
Is an enormous mass of opinion on the
question OF blockadng and the rules gov
erning a regular blockade are we'll settled.
but discussion of pacific blockade is very
much a discussion Of Words
Is Measure "ShOrt Of War;
Mr.. Coudert referred THE Sun reporter
| TO a discussion of this matter in the
| Cycloped!a OF Law and Procedure. The
editor of that publication lists pacific
blockade under the head Of "Forcible
| Measures Of Redress Short OF War and
| speaks OF these measures. including rotor
! tons. reprisals and embargos being
| "rega rded as short OF war. although they
may involve the exercise OF force" lie
/ says:
The accepted position il that pacific
blockade should not bear upon third
/ States except as they are affected by tn,
constralnt directly applied to the port or

| ing state of war"
/ Dispatches from WASHINGTON on Sun
day night affirmed that the blocksd,
which tho United States would undertake
would contemplate the shutting out of al
vessels. Many writer's maintain that the
| shutting out OF all vessels presupposes a
condition OF war. They say that the
! United States has in the past refused &c
surrender rights when warned that
