SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May g.
Government officers are searching for
two men, one an American and the

large quantities OF war munitions
from this country to Mexico. While
admitting they are investigating mu-
nitions shipments OF large proportions

Between 100000 and 100000

GREAT BRITAIN
NOT BUTTING IN

talns certain misstatements of facts
respecting the actions of Great Brit
ain, the following observations may
not be thought out of place. The
German government states 1t has so
far as Is possible instituted far
reaching restraint upon the use of
the submarine weapon solely in con-
sideration of neutral interests and
In spite of the fact that these re-
strictions were necessarily OF ad-
vantage to Germany's enemies. 1t
Is alleged that no such consideration
ever has been shown to neutrals by
Great Britain and its allies.
DO teh facts bear out these asser-
tlons? So far as is known, the meas
ures taken by Great Britain against
German trade have cost no neutral
life. Great Britain maintains that
they are in accordance with the prin-
ciples of international law and is pre-
pared to make good that claim. They
can surely compare favorably so far
as consideration to neutrals is con-
cerned. with a policy whose fruits are
seen In the tragedies of the Lusitania,
the Arabic and the SUSSEX"
