hfI.IS FOR MEXICO
UniIed States Prepares TO En-
force Warning,
EOTE CALLED ULT|MATUM
Even Munitions Purchased Before
1917 viii Not BE. Allowed to Cross
the EErGer.
the Border

Washington, Aug 16-The Carran-
"a government will not be permitted
to .nporr further arms and munitions
from the United States for the pres
enI III least.
This became known following the
pul,ifcali0n of the exchange OF notes
bp,,yeen the United States and Mexico
in which The American government
threatened d change Of policy unless
Americans in Mexico were adequately
pr1jected.
!;inrments of munitions into Mexico
have been prohibited since the Oniteo
States entered the war, but before
that time CarranZa had purchased
large supplies in this country and II
had been the policy to let these go
through in comparatively small lots.
There was no indication that the
government contemplated any further
immediate change in its Mexican
policy.
Telegrams said editorials in the
Mexico City newspapers after publ
cation of the American note of warn
ing indicated complete realization
of the seriousness of the situation. AL
most all of the papers commented on
the note, but for the most part the
editorials were temperate in charac-
ter
The note to Mexico warning Presl-
dent Carranza that if murders and In
dignfties TO American citizens contln-
ue the United States may be forced
to adopt a radical change in attitude
toward that country, was the chlef
tonic of interest in official and diplo-
matte circles here.
The note lacked only diplomatic
technicalities to make it an ultimatum
and was couched in probably the
strongest language used in any COM
municatiOns between the two republics
since the exchanges just prior to the
occupation of Vera Cruz by Ameri-
can armed forces.
While, no official statement was
made concerning announcement at this
time in the change of policy and out
vardly there was no apparent reason
other than the continued miStreat-
ment. robbery and murder of Ameri-
can citizens in Mexico, it generally
was the opinion that pressure from
foreign governments and demand in
congressional circles for some pro-
tective action fastened the announce
ment
1t was pointed out that should some
drastic step become necessary, the
United States from military point
of view now is in better shape to act
than at any time in its history OF long
drawnout controversy with the Mex1-
can nation as to American rights and
privileges.
Mexican federal officials have warn
ed Americans travelling through dan
gerous sections TO apply for an escort
of troops, which it is promised, will

OFFERS 100000 BLANKETS
War Department Places Army Surplus
on Sale to People.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The war de-
partment, offered for sale to the pub
lie it's surplus supply of wool, cotton
and mixed fabric blankets.
About 100000 are available for the
market.
It=was- announced that instead of
restricting the sale to bale lots of
twenty or twenty-five blankets, as was
originally planned, an individual may
buy one or more blankets, up to the
limit of one bale.
This change was made to prevent
large buyers from cornering the sup
ply.
In addition to. distributing the blan-
kets to sixteen sales eenters, the army
will make them available to other
communities through the bank sales
to, municipalities. The price run from
Sc for new, all-wool blankets, to $125
for reclaimed cotton blankets. The
PRICES in bale lots are cheaper.

50 REPUBLICANS
AGREE TO RAT|FY
Won to Program Of Mild Res
ervatiOn Group.
MAY FORCE EARLY REPORT
The First Step Will Be to Get the
Treaty Out of Committee-Need
Sixty-four Votes to Ratify.


Washington, Aug 16-Atore than
twenty Republican senators are ready
to stand for quick ratification OF the
peace treaty with reservations, Demo
cratic leaders in the senate were in
formed by leaders of the Republican
group of reservation advocates.
Republicans favOring reservations
said a poll disclosed upwards OF thir'
ty senator's of their party would sup
port reservations along the general
lines laid down by the seven Repub-
licans if the treaty could be brought
promptly out of committee and ratt-
fed on that basis.
The seven Republicans are Nc
Cumber, North Dakota; McNary, Ore.
gon; Spencer, Missouri; Cummins,
Iowa; Kellogg, Minnesota; Colt.
Rhode Island; Lenroot, Wisconsin
Their platform is one of mild" reser'
vatfons such as will not require re-
submission of the treaty to the allied
powers.
Although Senator Hitchcock, Ne.
braska, the administration leader, still
disclaimed any part in the negotia'
tions for a settlement, it was apparent
the move had reached proportions
which might threaten the plans of the
committee for calling additional wit
nesses and prolonging consideration
of the treaty.
The senator told the president he
believed the peace treaty would be
reported out by the committee within
ten days or two weeks.
The Nebraska senator gave the
president an optimistic report, he said
after leaving the White House.
Senator Hitchcock said he did not
discuss reservations with the presi-
dent. He indicated the position OF
the administration forces was that no
bridges would be crossed until they
were reached after the treaty had been
brought into the senate.
The present concern of administra'
ton senator's is said to center on get
ting the treaty out of committee.
In this they declare the entire
group of reservation Republicans lin.
ed up by the poll will unite with them
Beyond this, which would be consid-
cred as a step toward early ratifica-
ton, the leaders do not care to specu,
late.
1t is certain that in their talks with
the Republicans the Democrats have
discussed also the nature Of the re-
servations that might be required to
satisfy twenty or more Republicans
The Democratic leaders count on at
least ferty-four of their own party in
the ratification fight. 1t takes sixty
four votes to ratify the treaty.
The possibility of breaking up Of the
whole senate situation was evidenced
by the fact that the negotiations be-
tween Democrats and Republicans
were of far more direct character
than those which have been in prog
ress during the past few days.
The senate floor, where the high
cost Of living was under debate, was
alive with private conferences among
senator's on the reservation problem.
In the cloak room, there were many
hurried exchanges. 1t was said that
the reservation Republicans might
have a general conference with a
view to some more definite explana-
ton of their views with regard to tax
ng the treaty out Of committee.

LODGE SUBMITS
! FIVE RESERVATIONS
Seek to Safeguard american
Rights in League.

Washington Aug. 16.--The fight Of
Republican senators for amendments
or reservations to the treaty of Ver-
saiiles narrowed down TO several con-
crete, propositions at a series of con-
ferences held by them.
First, Senator Lodge submitted to
athes senate foreign relations commit
tee five reservations prepared by him.

jtives under the Monroe Doctrine and

league of nations.
S 2-That the United States would
uphold the constitutional right of con-
.gress alone to involve the American
people in. war, or to alone determine
whether American troops should fight
on foreign soil, despite any construc-
tion that might be placed on Article
10 of the league covenant by other
nations. 8
3-That the United States reserves
the right, Hneonditienally and exclu-
sively to pass upon alt domestic Ques-
tions directly or Indirectly affecting
the American people, irrespective of
any action taken by other~nations.
THAT the United States reserves
the right, Internationally and finally,
to withdraw frem~the- league of ma
tons, if it enters 1t, at anytime it
may SO decide.
5-Fhat the appointment by the
president of all American representa-
stiyes in the league. council and ASSEM-
bly,, or any Of the minor commissions
or organizations created by the league
of nations or other provisions of the
treaty, shall be subject to the approv-
al Of the senate.

attached to rider to the agricultural

Neither White House officials nor
members of congress could recall a
previous instance of a president hav-

over, the veto failed in the house.
Then a separate house repeal bill was
passed>by the senate. Leaders in con-

Columbus, O., Aug. 16.-Governor
James NJ. Cox wired Assistant United
States Attorney General Frank Davis,
at Washington, that the Sheriff Street
Market House, Cleveland, to avoid
federal penalty, is moving its meat
products to Chicago warehouses, and
that records as to previous storage
in Cleveland are being destroyed.
Approximately forty warrants
charging Ohio food dealers with vio-
lations Of the cold storage law, many
of which are against local managers
Of the big Chicago packing companies,
were issued by the state of Ohio. and
arrests will be made Immediately, &C
cording to Governor Cox and After
ney General John G. Price.
In addition, Governor Cox appealed
to United States Attorney General
Palmer to seize approximately 2,5OO,-
600 pounds of meat and poultry which
have been held in cold storage houses
longer than the period allowed under
the Ohio law.
Governor Cox in his telegram to At
torney General Palmer said evidence
had been uncovered by inspectors OF
the state dairy and food department
that some of the big Chicago packing
companies have shipped food into the
state and then back to Chicago and
again shipped it into the state and
sold it "for the double purpose OF de-
ceiving the authorities OF OHIO ana
Illinois, and of keeping food neeeSsi-
ties off the market in order that de-
ficieney and higher prices might come
together" On this alleged showing
the governor asks the federal attor-
new general to bring criminal prose
cutions, offering evidence gathered by
Ohio officials with which to prosecute.
One-third of the warrants issued
were for Columbus men, and 1t Is said
that some Of the other warrants are
chiefly against Cleveland dealers. The
warrants were filed in the municipal
courts of the cities In. which the men
live. The out-of-town arrests, it was
said, may not be made until later.
The arrests are the elimination of
Joint action between the Offices of
Governor Cox and Attorney General
Price, who recently began a state
wide investigation at the suggestion
of the governor, in an effort to lower
the high cost Of living.
The Ohio cold storage law provides
that pork may be held in storage only
six. months before being sold. Some
other meats may be held as long. as
eight months, and poultry may be held
ten months.
