AMERICANS DEMAND HELP
Three Hundred in Mexico Call
on Wilson for Aid.

Tampico, Mexico. June G.-Three hum
dred Americans in southern Tamauliras,
representing sixty-eiCht families nave
demanded in message to President VIII
son to know "once for all" whether they
can expect protection from their home
government, adding: we do not desire
TO take measures for our own safety
which would embarrass our government
without giving due notice beforehand"
The message Of the Americans was
transmitted by wireless through Consul
Miller TO W. w. Canada, the American
consul at Vera Cruz. 10 be sent 10 Wash
iugton. It says, in part:
Having been left without any pIOtec-
ton whatever on the part OF both sides
in the pending controversy. therefore we
can look for protection only from our own
country. We must know once for all
if we can expect same. Having been sub
iected 10 Sights and a great variety OF
indignities and gross abuse during the
last few days. the situation calls for most
serious preparations Tor our oHn personal
safety and the defence Of our families and
our interests. Therefore, we have assem- e
bled for the purpose OF considering the
best way. We consider protection ncces-
sary now. since after death it will be of
no utility.
I'VE consider the lives Of ourselves and
our families in danger. and the situation
has justified this petition several times
I'm the last few days. II Is no longer
doubtful that the slightest spark viii
bring on the dread conhagration AZ any
moment. in many instances the small
arms sold American citizens on the part
OF the American government for their
own protection have been demanded, and
in some instances they have been taken. "
