Persia Wants HeIp,

A few weeks ago a communica tion was sent to the American people through the Persian consul general at New York asking for moral support of the Persian government in its efforts to rid itself of the perplexities which have resulted from the establishment of so-called spheres of influence by the British and Russian governments. It was announced a few days ago that the Persian government had asked the sec retary of state to use his influence with American financial experts with a view to the ultimate employment by Persia of five American financial assistants. One will be treasurer general and an other director of taxation.
 Tuesday it was reported that St Petersburg was willing to accept the appointment of American financial ad- visers by the Persian government on condition that these appointments be not regarded as establishing T,rece- dents for the admission of financial advisers from European powers The mere fact that the Russian govern ment considers it necessary to state officially that it would not oppose such appointments indicates the sore straits Persia is in. However, if the British government will now acquiesce in tfa appointments. Persia may be congrat- ulated.-Buffalo Express.

OFFER SEVEN AERoPLANEs
 FOR TEXAS BoRDERLINE.

Washington, Feb. 7.-The war de- partment received today from the In- ternational Aviators. through Alfred J. Moisant, an offer to supply seven them for the. use of the army on the Texas border. Genefal Wood, chief of staff. has replied that the offer will be takep under consideration. Probably Some of the machines will be used for scouting purposes now that available 8 part of the appropriation for aeroplanes for the army. The In ternational AviatorS have been giv- ing aviation exhibitions in the south recently and now are at San Antonio, Texas, so that their machines easily could be taken to the boundary.
 Five Officers Are Air Experts.
 General Bliss, commanding the de- partmant of California, has reported to General Wood that five young army officers have been so we'll instructed by Glenn CurtisS in the use of Di- planes at his Los Angeles. training school that they can safely undertake the management of any aeroplane that may be needed for use in Texas.
 President Taft Cautious.
 President Taft is opposed to having for ae' oplanes and losing army off cers through accidents while aviation is still in such an embryo stage as far as it's connection with actual war fare is concerned. He believes in waiting until it is more certain that aviators can be of assistance to the army; and as for the experiments to be conducted with aeroplanes along the Mexican border, he thinks that it will be hard for an aviator 1,40O feet or more up in the airtod1stingulsh very clearly just what is the situation below. The president thinks it would be better to let other countries do most of the preliminary work in dis covering the use of aeroplanes in war and there will be plenty of time later on for the United States to garner the harvest of good results if such there the, which other countries discover.
