Will Permit Mexican Rebels to Export Arms From United States It Will Place Them On Equal Footing With the Federals um e Only Military Will he Per- to Ship War Munitions Across the Border. WASHINGTON, Feb. em- against exportation of of war from the United States to Mexico is about to lifted. Wilson and the cabined decided that because the embargo, by practically depriving the of arms, the Huerta government Is free to get them from many sources, really puts the United States in a position of showing partiality rather than neutrality. The embargo is to lifted with the Idea that rather than to bloodshed, the importation of arms by hastening an end of the war will reduce bloodshed. An official statement outlining the purposes the administration Will issued from the White House. governments have been ad- vised of the pending action of the United through the embassies ind gallons abroad, and diplomatic representatives in Washington have been notified. It was said that the development would not affect the America embassy in City nor the American troops on the border. Tuft Exportation of Arms. President Taft Issued the of arms to all sides on March 1912. Ho did that under author- of congressional resolution em- powering the president to take such action whenever he should find that any American country conditions if domestic violence exist which are promoted by the use arms and mu- of war procured from the United Tho only word that came from the White House wan that an announcement would be made S p. m. today. is every reason to believe that under authority of tho of March 1912. President Wilson Will continue to exercise dis- power in Issuing permits for exportation of arms so that they may not fall Into Irresponsible hands So far as possible only military chiefs on both sides of Mexico will obtain tho munitions. how that win has not yet been worked out The president's decision was reach- ed after many month's of careful and while in the first instance the belief of the administration was that the denial of was a human, act. the conviction has grown upon the Washington government that its has operated unequally toward the warring factions. Embargo Fostered Partiality Instead of neutrality was the result of the policy in the ion of the president the members of the cabinet who finally determined th.- the real course would lie put both factions on an over. footing. Tho administration also that to permit the situation to drift would be merely contributing to an Incessant struggle. Although chiefs have declared they had captured sufficient ammunition from the fed- the Washington government, while realizing the important effect normally throughout Mexico that its act will produce, is insistent that Its position as neutral shall be main- Action of V. S. as Last Resort It was understood in official circles that announcement of the president's determination to life the embargo bad gone forward to Charge In Mexico City, probably with to advise the Huerta government. Fir many weeks senators of the ; relations committee have been urging President Wilson to permit free Importation of arms to the bat- the fields In the hope that the war might be ended and peace re- stored. Those close to the president said he would take such action as only on-j the last resorts In his Mexican pol- icy, preferring to depend for the time being on tho the which has so far the Huerta gov- from obtaining credit abroad.

It Is undeniably true that there Is a vast amount of unholy and wasteful discontent. We are apt to think constantly how much more and how much better we would do If stances were different.

The origin of the banana Is given as India, at the foot of the Himalayas, where It has been cultivated since re- antiquity. Its origin the new world la as doubtful as the origin of tho American Indian.

This recent find has led to the belief that a skull of curious formation, earthed twelve years ago, is that of a rhinoceros of the Pleistocene period, and probably about years old. Authorities have pronounced the head to be that of a prehistoric monster. When tho excavations were made there were also discovered parts of a Roman wall, several human skulls, and spears. The skull was found underneath a shed which has been standing for years, and the foundations of which consisted of concrete to a consider- able depth. It was In the course of removing this concrete and digging some yards below that the discovery was made. little Importance was attached to It, the skull was given to the gardener, who handed It over to his children as a plaything.
