Before many days Il is expected that
the building committee OF the Henry

mite announcement concerning the con
struction of the new nurses home.
Plans for the building were secured
some time ago and these are now in
the rands of contractors whose pre-
liminary estimates indicated that their
bids could be accepted.
Since the plans were drawn the
building committee has decided to add
between II and IS feet to each of the
buildings in order to increase the num-
Der of sleeping rooms for nurses and
to meet other requirements. The adj
dition will give the home 36 rooms
for the nurses and will increase other
facilities.

drawn with this end in view and they
provide for all the departments found

modern in every particular. The
building of the home and the contem.
plated additions to the hospital will
require an expenditure in the vicinity

WILSON PUTS A
NEW BAN ON ARMS
FOR MEXICANs
Orders Export of Arms to Be
Stopped
DUE TO TURMOIL THERE
Proclamation May Be Followed BY
Further Effort to Settle
Mexican Trouble
DUE TO TURMOIL THERE

Washington, July 25--New inter-
est was excited in the Mexican situa-
| ton tonight when the State Depart
ment made public a proclamation by
President Wilson tightening the EN-.
barge on the passage OF arms and
ammunition into Mexico. In this doc
ument the President asserted that Il
have found that there exists in Mexi-
co such conditions of domestic yio-
lence promoted BY the use OF arms or
munitions of war procured from the
United States as contemplated by the
said joint resolution and act of Con-
gress'
The resolution referred to was pass
sed by Congress in March, 1914. I'm
der its provisions shipments of arms
and munitions into Mexico have been
kept under more or less strict control.
The proclamation was prepared on
July IL and bears the signature of
Frank l.. Polk Under Secretary OF
State, as we'll as that of the President
1t is thought significant that this date
was three days after Mr.. Polk confer
ed with twenty representatives of
American oil interests over the con
ditions in the Tampico and Panuco
oil fields.
The proclamation came out of
clear sky. being issued by the State
Department after Secretary Lansing
and other officials had left their Off
ces. Earlier in the day Secretary
Lansing had discussed Mexico briefly
with the correspondents, Indicating
that to his mind there had been no
radical change in policy. His refer
ences appeared to Indicate that he
felt Americans in che Tampico oil
field were not in grave danger. But
Mr.. Lansing made no reference at all
to the fact that Presidential proc
lamation was to be issued.
There was much speculation as to
the reason for the step taken by
President Wilson and whether his
proclamation would be followed up
by definite statement of policy in
an effort to settle the Mexican
trouble.
The effect of the proclamation is
to place within control of the State
Department, all shipments of arms
and munitions, including airplanes,
into Mexico from the United States.
The statement by the President
that he is satisfied that the shipment
of arms into Mexico from the United
States is responsible for the disorder
ed conditions in Mexico is interpret.
ed here as meaning one of two
things: That the President believes
that such shipments, even to the Car
rama Government, are unwise, or
that the smuggling OF arms and mu-
nitions across the border which reach
bandit forces brought about the pres
ent condition in the Mexican Repub-
lie.
1t is the understanding here that
the strictest orders are issuing that
smuggling must be stopped and that
dealers in this countraband must be
punished by heavy penalties.
