., The premier's hand has been admit
tedly strengthened, howevee, by the
"' favorable turn of events in Ireland.
Asqulth's . statement that the aitua

Washington, May 2. State depart
ment officials this afternoon admitted
that an embargo had been placed upon
shipments of war munitions into
Mexico.
Claim was made that the action was
taken as a result of General Funston's
report that some shipments were find

between United States and Mexican
representatives relative to the with

tary of War Baker and members cf the
state department believe today that
General Hugh Scott and General Al

for better cooperation between Ameri

Mexico, it is felt that they may see the
logic of assisting the expedition -when
they realize that the hunt is to con

ministration left no doubt.
Baker has taken no steps to indi
cate that he anticipated an unfavorable
outcome of the EH Paso conferences.
His new Instructions to Scott were

"There is still tremendous activity
in the east," said Mr. Olmstead, "and
the end of it is not in sight. The

That the European war proved a big
