tary Bryan slightly modified their tone
they were approved and promptly dis
patched.
Ambassador Wilson declined to dis
cuss the affair, but he viii probably
explain his views on such happenings
when he meets President Wilson at
2:3O o'clock Monday afternoon for
q general expression of views as to
Mexico. The president had Ambassa-
dor Wilson's long report in hand to-
day, studied it carefully and after an
early conference tomorrow with Sec
retary Bryan will be prepared to in
quire Of the ambassador what reme-
dies he would suggest.
In the meantime the ambassador
would give no inkling of what he had
in mind beyond the general statement
that his plan would seal the friendly
relations between the United States
and Mexico and protect likewise the
interests of American citizens in the
southern republic.
An Important Factor.
The ambassadors experience with
outbursts against American citizens,
such as those against which the Am
erican government today lodged pro-
test will make him an important fac
tor in whatever policy is adopted to-
ward the Huerta government on ac-
count of yesterdays developments at
Juarez and Chihuahua. The demand
that the soldiers at Juarez be court
martialed and that the guilty be pun
ished Is much more pointed request
than has hitherto been voiced by the
American government. Although Nc
Donald, who is Bissells fellow pris-
oner at Chihuahua, is reported to be
an English subject, the demands for
protection covered both individuals
and the American consul at Chihuahua
was ordered to go to the extreme OF
precaution to prevent harm from be-
falling the two mining men.
Secretary Bryan was at the state
department for a short time today
comforting with subordinate officials
in the Latin American division. He
stated later that the kilograms order
ing an investigation constituted the
only actions that would be taken for
the present but that the American
government intends to pursue its in
quiries vigorously
Telegrams corroborating press ac-
counts of the shooting at Juarez
reached the state department today.
Held at Chihuahua.
There Is little information about the
status Of Mcdonald and Bissell. 1t
appears that they were en- route to
Parral in an automobile to bring out
refugees when arrested at Santa Ros-
ALA. The machine was confiscated
and the two men taken to the city of
Chihuahua where news of their i'm
pending fate was carried to the border
by Americans.
Constitutionalists. according to re-
ports here are making every effort to
gain favor with the United States by
affording all possible protection to
Americans and their interests.

Air Sims Grow Safer.

A tabulation of vital statistics
among aViators, as made by Popular
Mechanics, shows that the death rate
in this line of effort is gradually
growing smaller, relatively speaking,
in spite of general impression to the
contrary. The magazine says:
"The number of airmen during each
year. including all others as we'll as
the licensed pilots, works our pretty
closely to five in 1908; so in 1909; 500
in 1910; 1000 in 1911, and $500 in
1912.
Nov, making few simple deduc-
tons from the foregoing data, it is
easy to calculate that in 1908 there
was a fatality for each thousand
miles of flight; in 1909 one for each
1000 miles; in 1910, one for each
100000; in 1911, one for each 10000;
and in 1912, one for each 1900. 1t
is equally evident that in 1908, one
in airmen. were killed; in 1909, one
in IL; in 1910, one in II; in 1911, one
in 20, and in 1912, one in 81.
con the face of it then, aviation
has consistently and rapidly improved
in safety from year to year, until
now it is at least ten times as unlike
ly to kill a person engaged in it as it
was in 1908. And in spite of this
reduced danger. per individual there
is still a greater reduction per unit of
mileage, 100000 miles of flight now
being accomplished with the same toll
of human life that only four years
ago was paid for each thousand miles.
yet ninety-nine persons out OF
every hundred are impressed with the
idea that aviation, which had killed
less than half dozen individuals four
years ago, has grown into something
terribly dangerous, when as matter
of fact, aviation commenced as some
