STORM TOSSED IN A BALLOON

through a window--we were inside of it.
enveloped in its binding glow.
Through rift in the clouds we caught
sight of the earth far below, and saw that
we were dashing downward with such
violence that it seemed if the ground
we're rushing up at us. We saw too that
the basket was going to strike. Just as
the shock came we pulled the valve rope,
and the huge balloon started on q mad
dash across the fields, dragging us with
t.rrific speed after it. I crawled out into
the concentrating ring at the risk of
falling out on the ground or of getting
MY legs caught under the basket. Grasp
ing the rip cord, | pulled it with all my
might. 1t slipped through my fingers, and
tore off ring l was wearing, taking
the flesh with 1t. Just then my conn.,
psnion, Mr. Harmon. nearly fell out, and
pulling him in we crouched in the bot !.
tom of the basket.
The balloon dashed on, crashing right
through two barbed wire fences. tearing
down two telegraph lines, smashing a
telephone pole to splinters, bounding on
into a patch of woods, over farmhouse,
and landing IN corn Held luliy t"o
niles from where it first struck the
ground.
1--WE made up our minds then and there
that the next time were in a balloon.
and saw a cyclone coming, We would
come down.
There is an interesting sequel to this
adventure, which shows that the unex-
pected sometimes happens, and that some
o. the Arabian Nights Tales may be
founded on fact. Some time afterward
Mr. Harmon received letter from the
fa mer who lived near where this oc-
Cured, saying that while blowing in his
fel6 he had found ring, and asking
if we had either of us lost one. We told
him that one of had, he sent it on,

AMERICANS ARE
Needing WARNING
OFFICIALS BELIEVE THAT IN TWO
WEEKS THERE WILL NOT BE
1000 IN MEXICO.

Washington, Aug. 29-Amercans in
Mexico are needing President Wilson's
warning to get out, and State Depart,
ment officials believe that two weeks
hence there will be scarcely a thousand
of them left in the troubled southern
republic. Although many had refused
to consider leaving before the word
came of the Presidents urgent advice,
hundreds have been starting for home
or abroad daily during the last three
weeks, and it is estimated that nearly
10000. or about as many as still re-
main in Mexico have gotten away re-
Gently.
OF those preparing to leave, 1000 re-
quire help from the government: so
the 100000 appropriation asked for
by Secretary Bryan some time ago to
aid refugees will be needed immediate
ly, OF the 1000 about 5000 will come
out of the east coast ports and the
northern border; the other 900
through west coast ports.
Since last February the State De-
partment has aided, it was said today,
between 1000 and 5000 refugees furn.
ishing many transportation in some in.
stances, in others, securing special
rates, or reductions which the indi-
yiduals themselves could not get
Department officials estimate that
there were about 10000 Americans in
Mexico two or three years ago, and
Ambassador Wilson places the number
as high as $4,000. In aiding American
refugees the American Red Cross has
spent about $4,000 and last year the
trips which the army transport Buford
made down the west coast to Mazatlan,
Manzanillo, Topolobampo and other
ports cost the war department about
$4,000

cations was received here, and while
neither side, according to official inter
probation, yields any of the essential
points in its contentious, the method
of approaching the difficulties at hand
admittedly is more friendly and fran
ed with more regard for a practical
! solution.
The White House view OF the offer
of the loan was that, should the pres
ent effort to bring about peace appear
to be bearing fruit. it would be in
cumbent upon the United States to
help Mexico straighten out her finan-
cial tangles.
Huerta May Be Eligible.
The argument of Senior Gamboa that
Huerta. as Provisional President of
Mexico, was prohibited by the Mexi-
can Constitution from succeeding him
self, and that the American conten-
ton, therefore, was unnecessary, was
scrutiniZed closely. and some of
| ficials pointed out that no guar
antee existing that Huerta would
not resign at some time prior to the
election and thereby make himself
eligible. 1t was suggested. too, that
to accept the citation of the Mexican
| Constitution as sufficient restriction
on Huerta's candidacy might be con-
strued as a recognition of Huerta as
the constitutional chosen ruler of the
Southern republic.
Notwithstanding this view, however,
hope was found in the vigorous dis
claimer of Senior Gamboa that anyone
string to become a candidate, for this
was regarded as a tacit implication
that Huerta finally would not enter the
presidential race.
The chief difficulties of the present
situation. it is recognized by admins
tration officials, are the questions OF
pride and national honor involved. Pro-
testations by Senior Gamboa that to
| yield to the contentious of the United
States would be a surrender of sover-
eighty and would permit foreign
government to veto the candidacy OF
individuals in Mexican elections here
after, have been met by the statement
OF officials here that the United States
has not the slightest desire to inter
fere with the sovereign rights OF
Mexico
There was confidence in official cir
cles that, by the exchange of other
communications, both Mexico and the
United States would clarity further
their positions on this point, imputa-
tons of dictation would be removed,
and any changes brought about in
Mexico, at any rate, would result from
the voluntary acts of the Mexican ad-
ministration.
So far as the Washington govern
| ment is concerned, 1t mas been made
plain that it hopes merely that a
peaceful settlement of the difficulties
may be reached, regardless of how the
Mexican authorities are influenced to
compose the situation. Evidence of
this was given yesterday through fire.
