without advice or assistance from the American side of the interna- tional line. Already 1t has been charged that Americans have been responsible for much of the sue cess of the instruction. Of course this Is not true; there may have been isolated cases where Ameri- can citizens have gone farther in aiding the insurrectos than a strict observance of the neutrality laws of the country would permit, but the number of such cases have not been great The charge Of some of the Mexican officials that the Amer jeans have been too active in their support of the effort to overthrow the Mexican government of course is made for the purpose of laying the ground work of a defense when the United States calls for a settlement on account of the loss of American lives and property and on account .of the revolution. both in Mexico and on this side of the line
