WANT MAN WHO FOUGHT
IN WAR AS MILITIA HEAD
Veterans Of Spanish Conflict Ask the
President to Investigate Records
of Possible Appointees.

Washington representatives and mem
bers of the United Spanish War Veterans
today confirmed reports published this
morning that Charles F. Cramer. COM
mander-in-chief of the United Spanish
War Veterans, has sent to President VIII
son a request that he investigate the
Spanish war record of possible appointees
to the post of commanding general Of the
District of Columbia militia before nam
ing any one to succeed Gen. George H.
Harries, who until recently occupied that
position.
The attitude of the Spanish war vet
Grams Is stated to be that they do not de-
sire to see appointed to head the local
militia organization any man who did not
serve in the Spanish-American war 30 long
as there is a candidate for the position
who has a Spanish war record. The
President Is asked to take such records
into consideration when he has before r. n
the recommendation Of the War Depart
ment.
Spanish war veterans today said that
the whole organization, numbering 400.-
600 men, who risked their lives for their
country. is filing protests at tho White
House against the appointment to the Of
nee mentioned OF any man without a war
record. 1t is stated that Spanish war
and all other veterans all over the coun-
try have been asked by Commander-in-
Chief Cramer to telegraph the White
House and ask the assistance of Presi-
dent Wilson.
President Wilson may not reach the
matter for some days. owing to the
stress Of international circumstances.
1t was said at the White House today
that the Spanish war veterans are
being Joined by Grand Army veterans
and officials of the National Defense
League. an organization engaged in
an effort to build up the National
Guard throughout the country There

Vera Cruz
Secretary Bryan informed Maj. Shu-
feldt that the State Department is cog
infant Of the facts in the case and that
he had wired Consul Silliman. at Vera
Cruz. to be on the lookout for Shufeldt.
to investigate all the circumstances OF
his arrest and to make appropriate rep
reservations to the Mexican govern
ment. ..#...
Mai. Shufeldt was assured that IL his
son reached Vera Cruz in safety there
would be no cause for being apprehen-
sive concerning his welfare.
The father of the young man, who is
thirty-seven years old, fears that the
officers commissioned to take his son
from Tehuantepec to Vera Cruz may
do him harm.
Mr.. Shufeldt, who has been employed
by a large company in New York to
look after their forest interests in
Yucatan and southern Mexico, was at
tackled and had most of his private
property, including a valuable collec-
ton of government biological speci-
MEMS conf1scated a few years ago. and
since then he has kept supply of
guns and ammunition in his hacienda.
Whether or not he has been arrested
for concealing weapons in his house is,
of course. only a matter of conjecture.
During the time that he has spent in
Mexico Mr.. Shufeldt has contributed
many valuable specimens Of birds and
mammals to the United States biologi-
cal survey.
He is a grandson of Rear Admiral
r. W. Shufeldt. u. S. n. who retired

nized principles of international law
in the past.
One of the suggestions made in offi-
cfal quarters was that Germany could
easily have learned the status Of Brit
ish merchantmen leaving American
ports by inquiry at the State Depart

of the Lusitania, information tending
to prove that the Lusitania would car
ry guns on its voyage were in the pos
session Of German submarine COM
manders this should have been sub
mitted to the American government so
that measures could have been taken
to convince the German government on
this point and assure the safety OF
Americans on board the vessel.
No Armed Ships Cleared.
Early in the war. It was explained at
the State Department, instructions
were sent to collectors Of the various
ports of tho United States dealing with
tho questions of armament While the
carrying of a six-inch gun for de-
fensive purposes of q merchantmen to
repel attack Is a recognized right un-
der international law. the United
States nevertheless obtained from
Great Britain assurances that her yes
sells would not be armed, and Amerl-
can collectors were consequently In
structed to allow no British ships to
clear II guns were mounted or con-
cealed.
In ono case at New Orleans recently
guns were found and clearance re-
fused until taken from the ship. All
outbound vessels have been examined
by American officials for guns mount
ed or stored in the holds
The question of foreign merchant
men carrying armament was first
brought to the attention Of the State
Department by the German embassy
when the British steamer Adriatic ar
rived last summer with guns mounted.
1t was then the department entered
into its informal negotiations with
Great Britain to secure the disarmtng
of all vessels.

arrangement would be promptly
