BUT WAR SUPPLIES RAISED OF TWO HACHITA PRISONERS

to Relieve Congestion of Freight
on Boundary.
(Associated Prfss Rspcrt.)
WASHINGTON July 21 All re-
strictions on the movement of exports
Into Mexico except munition of war and
machinery for their manufacture were re-
moved Friday by order of the treasury-
department. Without the formality of a proclama-
tion an embargo on shipments into Mex-
ico was put into effect by customs tnd
military authorities soon after Villa's raid
upon Columbus. Two weeks ago the
state and war departments agreed to lift-
ing of restriction upon exports of food and
clothing and later to the movement of
household goods and of fuel In reasonable
quantities.
The treasury has been urging the order
issued Friday to relieve freight conges-
tion at the border cities and accommo-
date both Mexican and American indus-
trial firms in Mexico.
The customs division has received many
letters and telegrams asking that good
which would not aid Mexican belligerents
be permitted to pass. Many of these re-
quests have come from mtmng men whose
mining machinery has been tied up for
The munitions embargo probably will
be maintained rigidly until conditions in
Northern Mexico are more settled and
difficulties between the United States and
the de facto government have been ad-
justed. THINK VILLA BAND BROKEN

Moral Defeat.

are all exlrm.y proud of their part in
