WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Large or
ders for arms and ammunition placed
by Mexico in Belgium and Spain, in
preparation for the possibility of
American Intervention, came to light
today when the state department let
it become known that the government
had taken steps to prevent their ship
ments.
The charge daffaires Of the United
States embassy in Brussels had pro-
tested, under instructions, that ship
ment of the munitions would be in
violation of the international arms
convention. As Spain is not party to
the agreement which was designed to
aid in keeping the peace of the world
during the after-the-war transition
period, no such direct action is prob
able at Madrid.
Officials place Orders
The order in Belgium was placed
with the Fabrique Rationale d'Arms
at Leige, probably under the direction
of Candido Aguilar, Mexican minister
of foreign affairs, and President Car
ranza's son-in-law, who went to Eu-
rope recently after stopping here and
placing a wreath on George Washing
toms tomb at Mount Vernon.
The orders in Spain, which in
cmded rifles. millions of rounds of
ammunition and a large number of
machine guns, were negotiated through
the Mexican minister there, Eleseo Ar
rendondo, former ambassador to the
United States and President Car
ranza's nephew.
The Spanish munitions, according to
information in the hands Of the gov
ernment, began passing into Mexico
more than a year ago while the Euro
pean war was still going on and in
violation of the inter-allied embargo.
Rifles and ammunition and some
sample machine guns are reported to
have passed Havana on their way to
Mexico as late as June Of this year.
For later shipments, cargo space has
been reserved for October 19 on Hol-
land American line steamers sailing
out of Antwerp, and further space hao
been reserved for Tampico, Vera Cruz
and Puerto, Mexico, on December 3
Refuse to Release Arms
The United States has been deny
ing shipments of arms and ammunition
into Mexico for many months for the
reason that they generally fell into
hands Of bandits and often were used
against American. Soon after the end
of the war the Mexican government
asked for the release Of munitions
bought in this country in 1917, but
it was refused.
Such information as has now come
into the hands of the government
shows that Mexico already was turn
ing to European manufacturers for hel
supply and has since placed enormous

Wilson Enjoys
Visit OF Prince
Albert Edward
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wlrs1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-President
wilson, propped up in the great ma
hogany bed in which Baron Renfrew
later King Edward VII, slept when he
visited Washington in 1860 greeted to-
day the grandson of that British king.
In Albert Edward, prince of Wales.
The prince was taken to the presi-
dents sick room after he had had tea
with Mrs. Wilson and the presidents
daughters, Miss Margaret Wilson and
Mrs. Francis B. Sayre. The visit to
the White House followed a motor trip
to Mount Vernon where the prime,
laid a wreath on Washington's tomb
and planted a young cedar before the
resting place of the leader of the
American colonies in their struggle
with England
Soon after the president and the
prince exchanged greetings. the presi-
dent noticed that his visitor was
looking closely at the massive old bed
and told him its story-how the
princes grandfather had slept in il
when he was entertained at the White
House by President Buchanan and of
1t being the same bed in which Presi-
dent Lincoln slept during his years in
the White House.
The president inquired of the prince
as to his father, mother and grand
mother and mentioned particularly the
pleasure with which he received a
cablegram today from Queen Mother
Alexandria.
The meeting was much the same as
such might occur between any healthy
normal boy with keen sense of humor
and middle aged statesman whose
cares have not driven the gift of
laughter from him. The president
laughed heartily at the vivid and
humorous account the prince gave of
his experiences sinceS his arrival on
the American continent The British
heir waI very enthusiastic at the
warmth of the reception he had re-
ceived in the United States. The con-
versation between the two covered a
wide range of subjects and after the
prince had left, Rear Admiral Gray
son, the presidents personal physi-
clan, said that the presidents spirits
had risen as the result of the visit and
that he had enjoyed it greatly.

null LLIFIES ARTICLE TEN OF PACT
Senate Adopts
Reservation BY
A6 To 33 Vote


WASHINGTON, Nov. IS.
joining the is
sue with President Wilson,
the senate adopted today a
reservation qualifying the
obligations Of the United
States under Article 10 of
the league of nations COW
enant.
A solid republican lineup, reinforced
by four democratic votes, put the
reservation across exactly as it came
from the foreign relations committee
and in virtually the language which
the president declared on his western
tour would cut the heart out of the
covenant and mean the rejection of the
treaty. The vote by which the reser-
.vation won was 46 to 33.
Present Cloture Proposal
The tight for reservations having
thus been carried to a climax, the re-
publicans presented for future action
cloture proposal designed to bring
final action on the question of rati-
fication within a week A less sweep
ing measure, proposing limitation on
the reservation debate only had been
put in by the democrats earlier in the
day but rejected when the republicans
voted to sustain a point of order
against it.
A vote on the question of clamping
down cloture on debate will come
Saturday morning, and the republican
leaders say 1t will depend entirely on
the democrats whether the move rallies
the necessary two-t thirds to make
cloture effective. The democratic lead
ers were not ready tonight to saw how
they would vote, being fearful that
agreement to so sweeping a program
might imperil their chances to secure
action on ratification resolution of
their own.
The Reservation AS Adopted
The article 10 reservation as adopted
by the senate follows:
"The United States assumes no
obligation to preserve the terri
torial or political independence of
any other country or to interfere
with controversies between nations
whether members of the LEAGUE
or not-under the provisions of
article 10, or to employ the mill
tary or naval forces Of the United
States under any article of the
treaty for any purpose unless in
| any particular case the congress,
which under the constitution has
the. sole power TO declare war or
authorize the employment of the
military or naval forces of the
United States, shall by act or Joint
resolution so provide"

language differ from the proposef
reservation which the president de.

COURT RULINGS NOT
To ALTER PLANS To
ENFORCE DRY ACTS
Governments Contention
That War Time Prohibi-
ton Is Valid to Be De-
Tended, Attorney Cen
eral Ayers
[RepubIican A. P. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Attorney
General Palmer's position with respect
to enforcement Of war time prohibition
has in no way been altered by court
decisions In Rhode Island and Ken
lucky, it was officially stated tonight
at the department of justice. The gov
ernment's contention that the war
time law is valid, it was added, will be
vigorously defended until final de-
eision has been handed down by the
United States supreme court.
While enforcement of the law is
stopped in the two states. United
States district attorneys, acting on
prior Instructions will proceed with
prosecutions of violators in other COM
munities, officials declared.
Department officials differed as to
the results of the injunction. Some
held that, during the life of the re-
straining order, there was nothing to
prevent open sale of all intoxicants as
covered by the orders. Others did not
agree with this belief.
With regard to the effect on the con
stitutional amendment by the Ohio
referendum overturning the legisla-
ture's action, the attorney generals
view was said to be that action by the
Ohio electorate would not change the
date on which the prohibition amend
ment to the constitution goes into ef-
feet. Until the number of states rati-
flying the amendment falls below Sc
the department will not concern itselt
with the changes in their identity, ac-
cording to the opinion expressed BY
the officials of Mr.. Palmer's staff.
Reports of new attack to be made
by -prohibitionists in an effort tt
stave off constitutional prohibition
have reached the department of jus.
tice from several sources. This as
sault is expected to be based on the re-
versal in Ohio's stand it was said
Officials, however, said they felt sur,
of their ground. None believed tha
more than a reissuance of the procla.
nation of ratification could be en-.
forced, while majority held firmly t.
the suggestion that so long as 36 state.
remained in the dry" column the gov
ernment need take no heed of ths

[Republlcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. IS. - For
the first time since July l. when war
time prohibition went into effect,
whiskey openly was sold in Louisville
today without interference by the fed
eral authorities.
The sales were made by two Louis
vile distillers from their tax paid floor
stocks under the protection of tenn
porary injunction issued by Federal
Judge Walter Evans but in the face of
a government warning that If the
supreme court finds war time prohibi-
tion constitutional prosecutions were
probable.
The action of Judge Evans today
apparently attracted wide attention.
Many messages were received asking
for copies Of the brief and arguments
in the case in which the court in ef-
feet held war time prohibition uncon-
stltutional and upheld an attack upon
the Volstead enforcement act Penn
sylvania liquor interests appeared es-
pecially interested, messages from

Mexico Arming In Preparation
For Possible U.S.. Intervention
Says Official Announcement

1t appears, from the governments in
formation, that while the peace con-
ference was in session in Paris and
General Mondragon, a prominent Mex
ican was there advising his govern
ment of its probable course toward
Mexican affairs and particularly the
attitude to the United States, the
Spanish munition makers with whom
large orders already had been placed,
were being urged to speed up the de-
livery of powder and cartridges and
particularly the machine guns which
were reported to be a new type, de-
scribed as perfect and unimprovable.
Mexico Probes Situation
General Mondragon, it appears, re-
ported from this conference in Paris
that Mexico need not fear interven-
tion by the United States, but infor-
nation received at the same time dis
closed that the orders for munitions
steadily were going forward. The in
formation in the governments hands
also disclosed that the Mexican Off
cials managing the affair were at
tempting to estimate the attitude of
Peru, Chile, Argentina and other South
American countries if the United
States should decide on Intervention,
that phase of the incident, however,
is not regarded by officials here as
threatening Such information as the
government has, however, shows that
Aguilar discussed the South American
attitude toward Intervention during his
conference in Europe, but officials here
realize that the subject has always
been discussed between Mexican
statesmen.
The orders and shipments of muni
tions are the subjects commanding
attention at present and it is known
that as late as July tests were being
made in Mexico, the munitions. were
reported as giving perfect results and
the Spanish manufacturers were being
urged to fill orders to the limit OF
their capacity. At one time, it appears,
the Mexican government was attempt
| ing to make UP its estimates of the
| possibilities of production in Spain by
prosecuting inquiries through the
| Spanish war office.
! In that connection recent Mexican
activities in Spain are receiving at
| tention and considerable matter char
acterized as Mexican propaganda is
being observed in the Spanish press.
The Important part taken by Mexieans
| in the Spanish celebration of the dis
covery of America last month also has
| been reported
Meanwhile, the activities of German
missions in Mexico are closely being
observed. Attempts by Mexican gov
ernment at confiscation of mines and
oil wells. with an announced view to
their naturalization are being closely
examined in comparison with Ger
many's need for those products.

Chicago saloonkeepers today that Fed
eral Judges Carpenter and Fitzhenry
would decide against the war time pro-

they were arranging for delivery Of

II was hoped that liquor selling would
be resumed by Saturday night.
District Attorney Clyne issued
warning that should the liquor inter-
ests be successful in the suit, profi-
,uering in whiskey would be prevented
He also declared that accepting orders
for delivery of liquor conditioned on
the issuance Of an injunction prevent
ing the government from enforcing
prohibition, was illegal.
Saloon employees were busily engaged
today I'm polishing bars and mirrors.
Decisions in Kentucky and Rhode

ests, apparently had convinced the

were void. They expected a similar
decision in the local district court

and Chicago were combined.

Monday evening, Sept. 10Th,

given, in the school auditorium
for the benefit of the Presby-
terian church, an entertainment
of high order. There will be a
varied musical program by the

the special feature of the even
ing will be the reading of Ten
nyson's Enoch Arden by Mrs.
Miller Dismukes, of Nashville,

Mrs. Dismukes is a graduate
of the Emerson College of
Oratory, Boston, and is reader
of note. She was a teacher and
reader for several years and has
given recitals before some of the
most cultured audiences of the
country.
Mrs. Dismukes is a woman of
striking personality and has a
very fine stage appearance.
Her audiences are always held
SPELL bound.
The strong human theme in
Enoch Arden will appeal to the
educated and the uneducated
alike, because it is the
story of a plain man yet his
strength, self-sacrifce and suf-
fering are most wonderful
through the entire story. And,
although it takes an hour and a
half to give the reading, the
| nearer is so gripped by the story
| that he never tires.
