k. In the senate, Senators Ashurst and

that Arizona should oppose any such

the federal government not grant the

Knox Interrupts.
The senate discussion v&s halted!
when Senator Knox, Republican, Pcnn-.
svlvania, announced that he had in f
formation that the request had been
refused, although later he said his in
formation was not oL'icial.but based
on a statement jn tho New York Sun,,
which had stated only that the permis
slon sought would not be granted,

Henry Lane Wilson, former ambassa

icy, predicted that the Mexican forces

across American territory to attack .

; "The peculiar motives which in-
v duced President Wilson to ado.pt the I

ifr,-, versy, tho former ambassador said.
l "Tho president wrote Article X ol
'$''.- the treaty himself and though there
jjj are mony more important sections

v sater by insisting that the whole treaty

E tinned Ho cannot be changed.
W-:$ '"Anybody who supports the Mexican;

W 'r : government, which he described as an
"aggregation of feudal brigands."

ranza troops to cross United States
territory from El Paso, Texas, said
that under international law the troops
would have to be sent through Ameri

would be compelled to cross the Son

United States could not nliow the Car
ranza troops to have their weapons
until again on Mexican soil, and that
their arms must either precede or fol
low them into the state. The Sonora
forces, thus, they said, would either
take charge of the arms If. they ar

they were first. The decision of the

WASHINGTON. April IT. Govern
ment purchase of Liberty bonds ip tho
open market except through operation
of the sinking fund will stop July 1.
Secretary Houston explained today. A
"beneficial effect"' on the bond market
was expected to result, he said. Other
officials said the market in govern
ment securities had already begun to
right itself and that bond quotations
hereafter might be expected lo trend
upward.
Mr. Houston explained that in con
tinuing the purchase of bonds under
the five per cent bond purchase fund
the government was increasing its
floating debt while decreasing its fund
ed debt. He said that current require
ments of the government were such
that, if the purchase of bonds were to
continue, the treasury would have to
issue more certificates of indebtedness
I with which to buy them,
i Mr. Houston's decision was based
largely on the fact that on July l the
21 per cent sinking fund provided in
tlie Victory loan act becomes operative
He said it was not his intention lo
treat the two funds as cumulative but
to end one with the biginnlng of the
other.
The approximate amount set aside
by tlie treasury for use in the period
between no vr and July 1, will be taken
over by the war finance corporation,
which will make all .purchases of bonds
for which funds are available until the
expiration date.
Hereafter such purchases as the
treasury may make for the bond pur
chase fund, will be "occasional and
not habitual," Mr. Houston said.
