LATIN AMERICAN WARS
WORRY U. S. OFFICIALS
En- Embarrassment Feared Through
Revolts in Event of Hostilities
With Germany.

Aware of the embarrassment that
revolutionary conditions in nearby
Latin American republics might cause
the United States III the event of hos
tilities with Germany. officials of the
State Department have surveyed care
fully the situation in Cuba, Mexico and
Central America
1t has been assumed that any active
and powerful enemy would seize the
opportunity to organize actual opera
tions in those countries. or at least
agitate such factions as could be
reached to such activity that the Unit
ed States would be forced to divert a
part of its energies in that direction.
Minister Gonzales reported from Ha-
vana that in spite of favorable condi-
ttons elsewhere the situation in the
province of Oriente was somewhat t
worse. especially in Santiago. the port
held by the rebels. Demands made on
the banks and private corporations for
money have caused the residents to
fear reprisals in case of failure to COM
ply. The government forces have been
successful in the few minor engage
ments with rebels, and in Camaguey,
where the rebels were strong, the gov
ernment again is in control.
1t is realized that danger of the Mexi-
can government collapsing is far from
being past. and the activities of Villa
in the north, Palaez along the gulf
coast and the rebels in the south are
being watched with some anxiety.

have no business thereon at the indoor
games Friday night at Convention Hall.
According to a statement made this
morning by Manager James no COM
petitor is to be allowed inside the track
until his event is due to come on. and
no spectator will be permitted to walk
unhindered up and down the floor un-
less he is a legitimate official Manager
James had this to say concerning
preparations for the meet:
THE bane of meets at Convention
Hall has been the failure to keep the
floor clear of spectators and athletes
who have no business there. We have
been just as much at fault as anybody
ington meet conditions were very bad
at times. We determined then that il
there was any way possible to keep
the floor clear we would do SO, and we
mean to stick to that intention. The
company Of the Coast Artillery Corps
will be used to guard the floor and en-
force the rules we are adopting for
may rest assured that the floor will be
kept clear il there is any way possible
for it to be DONE"
All the entries for the meet are in.
and indications are that the events will
be very successful. Besides the repre-
sentative institutions of this section,
Lafayette. Pennsylvania State and
Lehigh will be represented. Lafayette
is to run dual race with Lehigh. Penn
State meets Maryland State in a dual
relay. Richmond College is another in
stitution which has entered a. relay

Catholic University will take part in
a triangular indoor track and field
meet at Annapolis on the afternoon of
March 7. The other two contestants
will be the Naval Academy and Johns
Hopkins University. The event will be
the first Of its kind in which the
Brooklanders have ever participated.
Nine events are to be contested. There
will be two dash races, SO yards and
220 yards. The other seven competi-
tions are the 440-yard dash, ss0-yard
run, mile run. high jump. shot put.
hurdle and relay. The meet will be run
of in the gymnasium at the Naval
Academy, which is sufficiently large
to justify holding any number Of such
affairs. The Navy has tho largest gym
nasium in the south, and its track is
much better than the ono at Conven-

held.
Catholic University will have a bet

either Hopkins or the Navy expects. It
should score points in the field events
through the participation Of Ryan. a

ABOARD n. G. D. C. SPECIAL TRAIN.
ATLANTA, Ga. February 27-The
trip of the Sd Infan-
have been stationed at San Antonio,
Tex. for the past five months has been
an eventful one from the very start.
BY reason of the fact that 1t Is carry
ing horses which must be given exer-
else every day. the train stops at some
city at least two hours in every twen-
ty-four and the militiamen are given
liberty to do sightseeing. which they
did not have when they made their trip
to the borderland in October
Stops were made yesterday at Mobile
and Montgomery, and another one is
scheduled for Augusta. AT Mobile the
bugle corps of the Sd Infantry made
big hit when it took a position In the
city plaza and sounded number of
calls.
June weather has been encountered
80 far on the trip and the windows OF
the train have been open most OF the
time The men are in the best of
health and their spirits are running
high. They are all anxious to get
home, and many of them have adopted
as their slogan Never again" They
have had enough army life for the pres
ent and are eager to resume their
civilian status
When Capt. John W. Oehmann. officer
of the day. was making his inspection
of the train yesterday afternoon he
found two tramps riding in an auto
mobile belonging to Col. Glendie b.
Young. which is being carried on a fat
car. They had hidden under canvas
covering over the machine. Capt. Och
mann turned them over to the city po-
lice of Mobile.
ARRANGEMENTS are being considered
for a military funeral for Private John
A. Sweeney. Company E. Sd Infantry,
who was killed near Baton Rouge when
he jumped out of a car window while
in a nightmare. If the regiment ar

probably will be given n military escort
when it is carried to its final resting

One of the best matches in the duck
pin leagues this season may result from
the meeting of the Royal and Grand
Central teams tonight at the Royal al
leys. The Royals usually have been
conceded to be the best combination
the District has ever turned out. but
there are those who firmly believe the
Grand Central five. with its strongest
makeup. is fully as capable. So firm
are some in this stand that there has
been considerable talk of arranging a
ten-game match between the two
quints for a side bet. For this reason.
If no other. there should be a lot of
interest in the games tonight.
There was no spectacular bowling last
night in any Of the leagues. About the
best work done by an individual was
that of Matlock Of the Cavalry five, in
the Government circuit. He knocked
down 122 pins in his first game. got
11S in his second and rolled 122 in the

Smaller Weapons Building.

In addition to guns now held in re-
serve at navy yards. the Navy Depart
ment has many smaller weapons build
ing under contract. These could be
hastened to completion at need for use
aboard merchant craft. but there is no
present indication that they will be
needed.
The British admiralty has stated that
four out of every five armed ships got
through despite the submarine menace
while a smaller number of unarmed
vessels escaped. This probably was due
in part to the fact that German sub
marine commanders have been required
to seek to identify vessels before at
tacking. to determine whether they
were neutrals.
If Germany should. in fact. make un-
restricted use of her submarines. the
C-boats would be free of the peril of
attempting to stop and question a ship
that might prove to be armed. AS long
as the submersibie stays below the sur
face and uses torpedoes, her danger
from gunfire is small

Would Not Nationalize Vessels.

On the other hand. it is argued that
loaning of guns to private companies
and the employment by those companies
of civilian gun crews would not ma
tionalize the vessels. The Navy De-
partment is understood to have avail
able lists Of trained gunners formerly
in the navy but now in civil life.
The naval militia, more than 5000
strong could not be drawn upon for
gunners because of its militia status.
The terms under which the men could
be called out for active service are
limited by the Constitution to suppress
sion of insurrection, repelling invasion
and enforcing the laws.
The guns at navy yards range from
three-inch to six-inch. and it has been
held by this and other governments
that the mounting of a weapon of six
inch caliber or less by merchant Ves-
sci did not give her the character of a
war craft.

GUNS ARE AVAILABLE
AT NAVY YARDS Of US.
Those Ready for Merchant Ships
Have Been Held in Reserve to
Arm Auxiliaries.

Guns and ammunition are available
at navy yards on the Atlantic coast for
all American merchant ships which may
have business in the submarine zones.
The guns are those held in reserve for
the arming of naval auxiliaries in time
of war, but they could be used for de-
fensive armament for merchant ships.
Navy officials appear to agree that
conveying is not practical step. 1t is
pointed out that the British have not
found it desirable. Use of navy ships
for that purpose would break up the
fleet organization and render much
more difficult the task of keeping the
service ready for actual war. 1t would
also complicate any strategic use of the
feet.
A problem of arming merchant ships
in addition to providing guns is to find
gun crews. If regular navy gun crews.
commanded by naval officers. are placed
aboard the vessels. it is urged that they
would become national vessels. Many
regard that course as being in effect a
war move.
