FRIDAY

By an order issued by the trea- sury department today all restric tlons on the movement of exports into Mexico were today removed. The one exception to the order removing the restrictions was war munitions and machinery with which to manufacture them.
 The order was urged upon the treasury department by the Ameri can and Mexican firms who do large business. and whose shipments We're being held at the border The congested condition of the freight warehouses and the tracks at all ports of entry along the boundary was becoming intolerable and some thing had to be done
 The order released thousands ot tons of freight consigned to all parts Of the southern republic and will relieve immensely the food shortage and the clothes shortage in many cities in the interior Of the country.
 In a message received at Chihua hua yesterday from General Ramos, commanding one of the Carranza armies. it was stated that Villa had been located near Amador. about 30 miles south of the Durango line.
 The bandit is said to be in d po- sition where it will be hard for him to escape the Carranza forces that are closing in on him.
 Al Fl Paso dispatch says that Villa has lost his hold on the people in the country where he Is now mak ing his headquarters, His recent failure to capture Parral from the Carranzaistas is said to have been the cause, his military defeat being nothing compared to his moral de, feat when the matter of the opinion of the populace was concerned.

SOUND ARGUMENTS FOR NORMAL
SCHOOL LOCATED AT PENDLETON

NAL schools should be established Is
a question for discussion. The old
Pork Barrel view should be dis
carded altogether. If 1t be better for
the state and its school system to es-
tablish normal school at Pendleton
that should settle it without bringing
ir political" claims of eastern ore
gon to having state institutions 10.
Gated there. The Herald Is in receipt
Of a clipping from the Weston Leader
of July II in which the bitterest op-
position Is voiced against the Pendle-
ton measure. AS the establishment
of a normal school at Weston some
years ago was a pork barrel measure
pure and simple, which smelled 80
bad it was later thrown out, Weston
Is now fulfilling the expectation that
she would take only the pork barrel
view, and the Leader uses all the old i.
style pork and political arguments
against the measure. This should
help to give the measure a good
standing in the minds of the people o:
the state.

ing our foreign trade. The sum
of S50,000,000 is made avail
able for the purpose and the
law is so worded that the gov
ernment may operate the ships
direct or through satisfactory
leases to private companies.
When normal conditions have
been restored, not longer than
five years after the close of the
war the government will retire
from the business.
The purpose of the shipping
law is to insure shipping facil-
tiles at reasonable cost for the
American producer and manu-
facturer. The government will
not attempt to make money off
its ships. They will be used
instead in a regulatory way to
hold down extortionate rates.
In this they should be effect
i've.
Unfortunately the law, was
not adopted in time to be of
the fullest service in connec-
ton with the present crop NOV
ing period. Had it not been
for a filibuster the law would
have been adopted a year ago
and our wheatmen would have
had the advantage Of better
rates this year. However, the
bulk of our wheat is yet to be
moved and it is possible the
passage of the law will have
some effect even this year. The
chief difficulty in the way will
arise from the fact there are so
few ships available for pur-
chase that it will probably be
necessary for the government
to build the ships it will re-
quire. Hence the ocean rates
NAV not be altered immedi-
ately.
The shipping bill deserves
to rank as one of the great con-
structive measures of the ad-
ministration. It is a timely,
meritorious law and the pass
age Of the bill, in face of ship
trust opposition, was a re-
markable victory for the adj
ministration forces.

tlol of the republican machin-
cry really want to make their
party a war party. They want
conquest Of Mexico for the
