SCOUTING AlOgG TIE RIO GRANDE.
COMMANDER Of the United States
Troops to Have an AirsInip at
His Service to Observe the Move
ments Of Both Federals and In
surrectos to Enable Him to En-
force Neutrality Laws - An In
teresting Experiment.

Washington, D. G. So far as an
aeroplane can discover, Genera
Hoyt. the commander Of the Depart
ment of Texas, will probably soon be-
in position to determine the facts
as to the activities or the Insurgents
along the Mexican border. At pres
ent, owing to conflicting reports and
absurd and extravagant claims on,
the part of the different leaders and
their public mouthpieces, the United
States Army otticers who are doing
their best to maintain the neutral
ity law in force on the Mexican bor-f
der find the task difficult one, and
the troops are continually making
wild goose chases after military ex-
petitions reported to be crossing the
Rio Grande, which rarely material
ize. In the meantime, when the
troops are on these false scents, it
is presumed that armed parties make
their way across the river at un-
guarded points.
General Wood, chief of the staff,
let it be known that at least one
aeroplane would be- employed in OBJ
.ervation work along the Rio
Grande. This decision was reached
after consultation with General
Allen, chief signal officer, who is
in charge of the aeronautical serv-
Ice of the War Department, and John
Barry Ryan. president Of the United
States Aeronautical Reserve.
The War Department has accept
ed the tender of Robert Collier Of
one of his new Wright biplanes,
which is now in New York, and this
will be rushed to the Mexican bor-
der by express and turned over to
General Hoyt The reserve is pre-
pared to furnish other machines for
military use at short notice, and If
the Collier biplane proves to be of
real service it will be supplemented
by at least half dozen others. With
+ that number of machines soaring
constantly over the crooked channel
Of the Rio Grande and back into the
country where illegal expeditions
may. be organizing, it is believed the
military will be able practically to
establish an impenetrable patrol
along the border.
In order that the government may
be able to purchase aeroplanes for
use in patroling the Mexican border
the War Department has taken up
with Senator Warren. chairman Of
the Military Affairs Committee, the
question of making the appropriation
I Of $4,000 for aeroplanes in the
Army available Immediately instead
of on July /, as would be the usual
course.
