WAR!!
ENGLAND AND FRANCE Say Their Greatest Need |
is Not GUNS or AMMUNITION, But FLOUR, SUGAR f
AND RICE—FOOD. I
Our advice is to keep the pantry well stocked with |
articles that will keep.
Flour, Sugar, Rice, Canned Meats, |
Dried Fruit, Caerels, Canned Goods |
There is small hope that prices will decline within a !j
year, even if the war is over tomorrow. <f
Plant Something.
Do something yourself to keep prices down by plant •
ing now. |
A good supply of food in the pantry is as good pro [i
caution as money in the bank and may give you as much |
satisfaction. |
Demand our goods of your retailer, and they are 4
guaranteed good quality. |

1 EUROPE
MADRID, April 23.—With the em
bargo on the shipment of arms and
ammunition from the United State.- to
Mexico, an ingenius plan recently has
been brought to light for the shipment
of such munitions of war from the I
United States to Europe, and their j
trans-shipment from Europe to Mexi
co. By this roundabout route the arms
could get to Mexico without crossing
the United States-Mexican border,
where they would have been detained
by American customs officers.
The plan has required a system of
agents acting in Mexico, the United
States, England and Spain, the route
designed for the shipments being from
the United States to England, from
England to Spain, and from Spain, by
one of the steamer lines operating to
Central and South American ports, to
one of the Atlantic ports of Mexico.
Whether any shipment via England
and Spain actually got through is not
known, as the plan was disclosed and
checked when the London link in the
roundabout chain got into difficulties
over the use of code messages dealing
with the shipments.
In the course of the inquiry, the at
tention of the British military censors
was attracted to several cablegrams
from Mexican military officials. These
did not appear on their face to deal
with orders for arms, words being
used to take the place of arms and
ammunitions. While the exact words
of the code are not known, the mes
sages from Mexico ran something like
this:
“Send 20 cases apples and 5,000
rounds potatoes.”
When the receiver of the despatches
was interrogated by the authorities, he
i stated the shipments referred to arms
j intended to be brought from the Unit
ed States to England, then shipped to
Spain, and thence to Mexico. The
transaction was stopped as involving
an irregular use of code messages. The
question of the shipment of arms did
not arise, as shipments to Mexico did
not at the time appear to have any
bearing on the European war. Inci
dentally, however, it disclosed the
roundabout route from the United
Staes to Mexico via England and
Spain, but gave no indication as to
how far the route had been put to
use outside of the transaction stopped
■ by suspicion of the code telegrams.
