PEOPLES PART
YET UNKNOWN

The ignorance of the public as to what
has occurred leaves as yet unanswered
the question as to the part the people will
play, but there Is reason to believe there
will be no anti-Amercan demonstrations.
Those who predict that the Mexican peo-
pie will accept the attitude of the United
States calmly point to the fact that the
sentiment OF the people has changed so
much in the past few months that they
secretly will applaud President Wilson's
action, instead of manfesting disap-
proval by assailing Americans here.
President Huerta has DELAYED making
a statement either to he public or the
foreign diplomatic representatives. His
attitude is one of doubt, although many
are relying on his assurance a few
days ago that such action would not alter
his attitude toward Americans or Charge
O'Shaughnessy That he will make any
direct statement to the American charge
is not certain, as Mr.. OShaughnessy had
no part in notifying him of the new move
of the President Of the United States
Many Americans tonight were planning
to leave Immediately for Vera Cruz, the
only port b. which they can leave the
country, and reservations on trains have
been so great as to necessitate extra cars
Mrs. O'Sha ughnessey will remain with her
husband at the embassy.
Charge O'Shaughnessy said he had not
seen IresiueHl tiueila up 10 III o clock,
nor had there come to him from the
palace any indication from Huerta as
to the effect President Wilson's latest
movement would have on him or his
policy. Gossip favored the belief that
Huerta would not hand Mr.. O'Shaughnes-
sy his passports
Government officials regard the lifting
of the embargo at this time as especially
unfortunate, since they claim President
Huerta was beginning to show progress
n his defense against the rebels.
General Ojeda has reported that he has
completed plans for his advance from
iuayamas towards Hermosllo, state of
Sonora, and the war department has re-
nforced General Velasco at Torreon fo~
his coming struggle with Villas forces.

MEANS TERMINATION
OF REVOLUTION

Many members of Congress are con-
hdent the Presidents action today
means the termination of the revolu-
tion in a short time. Senators did not
venture predictions as to what kind of
government would succeed, but they
pointed out that the constitutionalists
had semblance of organized and reg
ulated power, even though they had
not established civil government in the
territory under their control. They do
not feel that the time has come for
the United States to recognize the
constitutionalist forces as belligerents
in the diplomatic sense and persons
close to the administration were care
full to point out that todays develop
ments should not be construed al in
volving the United States as par
tisan in the Mexican situation.
Inquiries as to whether the with
drawal of Charge Shaughnessy or any
change In the border patrol was under
consideration, led to the declaration
of high officials of the administration
that no further steps were contemplated
now.
The capitol buzzed with gossip as to
the probable effect in Mexico of the
lifting of the embargo. Many officials
conversant with Mexican affairs did not
believe any immediate change In the
situation would result In the highest
official circles no excitement was dis
played, the usual serenity prevailed at
the White House and the executive de-
partments.
Chairman Bacon of the Senate for
eign relations committee, who is i'll at
his apartment made no comment on
the raising of the embargo, but his COL
leagues said he was in hearty accord
with it.
Tho disposition of large quantities of
ammunition destined for the constitu-
tionalists, but seized by American gov
ernment officials, was one of the points
brought up in discussion of the Presi-
dents proclama tion 1t was expected that
ruling would be issued by treasury and
department of justice officials tomorrow.
1t is understood that upwards of 100000
rounds of ammunition has been held up
by the government at various points
along the border. 1t is not considered
likely that ammunition confiscated in con-
nection with violations of neutrality stat
utes will be given up, but shipments OF
arms sent to the border pending the re-
moval of the embargo on arms and con-
signed through commercial channels, are
expect ed to be released.

TREATED AS ANY
OTHER COUNTRY

BY removing the inhibition on the
expectation of arms and ammunition into
Mexico the government of the United
States puts itself. and intends to put
itself, in the same position as other ma

The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-04
FIRST STEP
TO A SOLUTION

No one outside Mexico can now ac-
commodate her affairs. The withdrawal
of all moral or material support from
without is the Indispensable first step to
a solution from within From many
sources which it deems trustworthy the
government of the United States has re-
ceived information which convinces it
that there is a more hopeful prospect of
peace. of security of property and of an
early Payment of foreign obligations If
Mexico is left to the forces now reckoning
with one another there than there would
be II anything like a mere change of
personnel We're effected at Mexico City
There are no influences at Mexico City
that can be counted on to do anything
more than to perpetuate and strengthen
the selfish oligarchal and military inter-
cts, which it is clear, the rest of the
country can be made to endure only by
constant warfare ard pitiless harrying
of the north. The President is so fully
convinced of this, that after months of
the most careful study of the situation
at close range he no longer feels justified
In maintaining an irregular position as
regards the contending parties In the mat
ter of neutrality
THE intent Is. therefore, to remove
the inhibition on importation of arms
and ammunition to Mexico from the Uni
ted States. Settlement by civil war car
ried to it's bitter conclusion is terrible
thing, but it must come now whether
we wish it or not, unless some outside
power is to undertake to sweep Mexico
with it's armed forces from end to end,
which would be the mere beginning of a

CONFRONTED WITH
ANOTHER OUTBREAK

ANU LII W bREAh
The United States was confronted in
the spring of 1912 with another revolu-
tionary outbreak, this time by Orozco
against the Madero government which
had been formally recognized. Again the
United States took the position of assist
ing the regularly constituted govern
ment but President Taft asked for
specific legislation empowering him to
make the embargo against arms more
effective. Accordingly. joint resolution
was passed on March IA, 1912, by Congress
providing:
That whenever the President shall
find that in any American country con-
ditions of domestic violence exist which
are promoted by the use of arms or
munitions of war procured from the
United States, and shall make proclama-
tion thereof 1t shall be unlawful to
export, except under such limitations
and exceptions as the President shall
prescribe, any arms or munitions OF
war from any place In the United
States to such country until otherwise
ordered by the President or by Con-
gress."
1t was under this resolution of "ex-
ceptions" that the Washington govern
ment, when President Wilson was in
augurated, was permitting arms to go
to the Huerta government, but keep
ing them from the rebels. From then
until late August the same policy was
pursued. The President In an address
TO Congress then announced his de-
cision to deny arms to all factions. This
was regarded tantamount to
declaration that constitutional govern
ment no longer existed in Mexico, and
that the assistance hitherto given
legally constituted regime had ceased.
EMBARGO PROVED
NOT IMPARTIAL
The actual operation of this embargo
instead of effecting neutrality imposed
a condition of affairs against which
constitutionalists protested vigorously
They argued that the Huerta govern.
ment could obtain supplies from Eu-
rope, whereas the constitutionalists
We're cut off from their only external
base of supply-the American boun-
dairy. They continued lighting. in the
opinoin of government officials here,
against heavy odds, obtaining their
ammunition by the slow process of
conquest. The struggle of the consti-
tutionalists to occupy seaports so that
they might get arms by sea ended in
failure. for the Huerta regime had all
the gunboats in the Mexican navy. and
such places as Tampico and TuxpAn
proved invulnerable to land attack,
This argument had been urged on the
Washington administration not only by
the constitutionalists sympathizers,
who managed to get their views be-
fore members of the United States
Senate and before the American gov
ernment in the parleys with William
Bayard Hale. but had been laid be-
fore President Wilson by leaders in
Congress.
EXPRESSIONS OF
WARM APPROVAL
Expressions OF warm approval came
from both ends of the capitol today
when news spread of the Presidents
decision to lift the embargo. To MEM
bers Of the Senate foreign relations
committee 1t was no surprise, for they
had an intimatioh of 1t in their re-
cent conference with the President
such an announcement does not sur

deliberate departure from those practices
under a well considered joint resolution
of Congress-determine upon in crcum-
stances which have now ceased to exist
1t was intended to discourage incipient
revolts against the regularly constituted
authorities of Mexico. Since that order
was issued the circumstances of the case
have undergone a radical change. There
is now no constitutional government in
Mexico; and the existence of this order
hinders and delays the very thing the gov
ernment of the United States is now In
sisting upon-namely, that Mexico shall
be left free to settle her own affairs, and
as soon as possible put them upon a con-
stitutional footing by her own force and
counsel. The order is, therefore, re-
Soinded."
American ambs ssies and legations
abroad were instructed last Saturday to
inform foreign governments of the above
decision. Similarly, Secretary Bryan late
yesterday informed the members of the
diplomatic corps here This was in line
with the policy announced at the begin
ming of the present administration here
of keeping the nations of the world in
formed of the developments in the Mexi-
can policy of this government
The administration viewpoint on the
action taken today, as gathered from
those familiar with the Presidents atti-
tude, may be summed up as follows

Refuses TO Talk


Liberty did not open Lacy's heart, and
he reiterated his declaration that he
would not make any statement until he
was placed on the witness stand. 1t was
at first believed that the alleged defaul-
ter would make a statement on being re-
leased from jail. but his positive declara-
tion this afternoon made 1t certain that
he will not tell his story until his trial
1t is reported that Lacy will spend
few days in Montgomery after which he
will go to Dallas county to remain until
the date of his trial. His Dallas county
friends have stood ty him in all of his
trouble and they seem determined to aid
him in his fight for liberty.
Lacy is we'll connected in Dallas county
being the grandson of the late Senator
Edmund Pettus
He is closely related to many other
prominent families in that section of the
state.
Little Trouble Making Bond
Making a $4,000 bend for Lacy caused
little trouble and his attorneys state
ments ih court Monday indicate that they
were surprised to knew their client could
obtain his liberty on the heavy bond in
so short a time after 1t was set by the
court.
Four bonds were signed, but they were
placed together and made one instrument
Twenty names We're affixed to it, and it
is understood hey represent a greater
part of the property of Dallas county,.
The names appearing on the bond are:
Il. p. Lacy, f. w. Pettus, c. A. Patter-
son, Ludwig Erlenbach, A. C. Kahn, W.

Willsy, f. NJ. Stillwcll and e. b. Martin
One report is that Lacy deposited $780,
900 with bondsmen as security for them,
and that when Judge Brown refused to
reduce the bond below $4,000 he furnished
$4,000 more. Only those whose names
were signed to the bond will be able to
say whether not this report is well
