Authorities at Washington
Say That Treaty Would
Forbid Action.
BIG BATTLE IS NEAR
Revolutionary Troops Being
Concentrated i'm Path of
Federal Army Today.

Washington, D. C.-Statements made
by Mexico City officials that an ar
rangement is being made to procure
four cruisers for the Obregon gov
eminent for use against Mexican re-
volutionists along the seacoast Great
ed surprise here.
The authorized statement was made
at the state department Monday that
the Washington naval treaty speci-
fically forbade the United States and
other treaty powers from selling war
vessels to any government.
Article XVIII of the treaty is man.
datory, it was said at the department
and makes any such transaction i'm
possible so far as the United States
is concerned.
Ship Builders Can Help.
The treaty would not prevent the con-
struction by American ship building
concerns of war craft for Mexico but
if such contracts were made, the
Washington government would be re-
quired to report the fact and speci-
fications as to the ships to the other
powers signatory to the treaty. In ad-
dition the Washington government
would be required to see that such
ships did not exceed in any limits in
size or armament imposed by the trea-
ty upon war vessels of the treaty
powers.
Neither do officials here understand
the report from Mexico City that the
Washington government is closing
private sources of arms in the United
States to Mexican revolutionists. 1t
has been said officially at the de-
partment that no question Of an arms
embargo was "before the department"
No Arrest of Revolution Leaders.
The statement made in Mexico City
that the United States is preparing
to arrest agents of the revolutionary
group in this country is also looked
upon as an expression on the part of
those responsible for it's publication.
At no time has the United States gov
eminent ever sought to arrest agents
of any faction of revolutionists in any
foreign country.
eff it came to the attention of the
Washington government that attempts
were being made actually to recruit
troops in the United States for use
against friendly power, however,
steps would be taken to prevent such
action. So long as the agents of any
foreign political faction comply with
American laws there is little prospect
that the Washington government will
interfere with them

GEO. S. BALDWIN
DIES in PASADENA
Pioneer Coal Merchant of
KenOsila Died Last Sun
day Afternoon.
LONG RESIDENT HERE
Had Been Prominent in Bust
ness Affairs of KenOsha
Since Year 1S49

George S. Baldwin, aged SO years,
one of the oldest and best known OF
the pioneers of Kenosha, died at his
winter home at Pasadena, CAL, last
Sunday afternoon, according to mes
sages reaching Kenosha on Monday.
Mr.. Baldwin died as result of a gem
eral breaking down due to the infrmi-
ties of years. He had not been in good
health for some time, but the an
nouncement Of his death will come as
a surprise to many friends in Kenosha.
His wife and daughter were with him
when the final summons came.
The members of the funeral party
will leave Pasadena on Friday for Ke-
nosha and funeral services will be held
at the Hansen funeral home next Tues
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. The re-
mains will be laid at rest in the family
plot at Green Ridge.
Long Prominent in Kenosha.
Few men had longer continuous
connection with the business life of
Kenosha than George S. Baldwin, as he
had been in business in Kenosha for a
period of over half century. -T
He was native of Canada and was
born at Stanstead, just over the Yer
mont line, on March %, 1885, Early in
life he learned the trade of bootmaker
and when he came to Kenosha in 1913
he was associated as boy with the
old boot shop which stood on the site
of@what is now the Schwartz building
Later he gave up the making of boots
and was employed in Chicago for q
number of years. He returned to Ke-
nosha to be one of the first fire insur-
ance agents of the city.
Goes Into Coal Business.
In 1869 he went into the coal bust
ness in which business he continued
until failing health forced his retire
ment some five or six years ago. AT
that time he established his winter
home at Pasadena, but he had spent
considerable time in Kenosha in recent
years.
Over 81 years ago in Kenosha Mr.
Baldwin was married to Ellen N. Mer-
rill, a daughter of the late L. G. Mer-
rill, long prominent in tie official and
financial life of early Kenosha.
Mrs. Baldwin, one son, Harry M
Baldwin of Kenosha, and one daughter,
Mrs. Grace Baldwin Van Arsdale of
Pasadena survive him.
Mr.. Baldwin was one of the oldest
members of the First Congregational
church Of Kenosha and for many years
he'was most active in the work of the
congregation. He held membership in
many organizations for the uplift of
Kenosha and devoted much time to
these organizations in former years.
