 The note urges that. irrespective of the formal aspects of these Ques- tions of shipping arms Co dell arents the spirit of neutrality should be ob- served It supports tlus con ention with a quotation from the Presidents address to Congress on Mexican aH- airs in August, 1913 when he said "I shall follow the best practice of na- tions in the matter Of neutrality by forbidding eXportation Of arms and munitions of war of any kind from the United States to any part Of the re- public of Mexico This policy is sue- gested by several interesting prece- dents, certainly dictated by many man ifest considerations of practical eN- pediency We cannot in the circum- stances, be partisans of either party of the contest that now distrCsses Mexico or constitute ourselves the virtual umpire between them

JAP SIEGE GUNS ARE THE LATEST MARVELS.

TOXIC, April 9-The announce ment by the war department that one of the lessons of tL" capture ot T.ing- tau was the effectiveness of the siege gun which was brought Into play on the anniversary of the Emperor's birth makes interesting some parti- culars concerning this weapon which appear in the Japan magazine.
 The details Of the guns constric- ton are guarded secrets, but it is am nounced that the cannon is the inyen- ton of an artillery officer of the lm- perial army, Lieut., Col Ogata who had been working on his idea for some time prior to the war. As soon as the move against Germany began the inventor set out for Tsing-tau on a ship bearing his gun, with a view of setting it up and having it ready for action on Che Emperor's birthday. It was on that date that it sent it's first shells into German forts with telling effect.
 Instead of bursting into fragments at the first impact the shell penetrated far into the objects struck. burst them apart and then scattered the pieces inal directions lt proved itself much more powerful and destructive than the guns used at the siege of Port 1 Arthur
 Pointing out what the main work of good siege guns is Co strip an enc my's guns of shields and redoubts, the magazine declares that the new Jap anese gun did this in short order at Tsingtau. A careful study of the ef- | fleets of the gun shows that but for its work Tsing-tau would have withstood the siege much longer than it did negotiations. which had for its object ! furnishing means Of egress and in- ! gress for foreigners, are hopeful the railways between Mexico City and the American border win soon be repaired and accomplish the same purpose a- at present This line was interrupt ed lby the operations of Carranzs forces under Obregon in he vicinity

mastered the courses. The young men
have proved themselves extremely apt
pupils and they have qualified in the
mere routine OF soldering much
quicker than the average enlisted man
Of the regular army. Not only that,
but the students have grasped the
fundamental requirements Of Xec
