UNITED STATES Is MENACED BY
A PECULIAR SITUATION
IN AERONAUTICS.

WASHINGTON II. G.. Dec. s.,
Warning that the United States
would be confronted with a critical
situation in case of war because OF
the inability Of the army to obtain a
sufficient number of men from civil
life capable of plotting aeronautIcal
machines, is given by Brlgadier Gen
cral George p. Scriven, chief signal
officer, in his annual report.
Throughout the country" the re-
mort says, "the number Of civilians
who have heretofore undertaken to
ny hcavier-than-air machines for
their own pleasure, for sport or for
money making, Is fast diminishing,
and it is doubtful whether in the
event OF war a score Of men capable
Of making flights useful to an army
could be obtained from civil life at
the present time, "

A Worthy Charity.

The the Editor Of THE TIMES:
May / be granted enough space in
your most valuable paper in which to
make an appeal for some of our poor
childrenf I have worked for years
among these little ones and / know
what It means to them (and to their
mothers) to find an opportunity to get
away from the city for a week or two.
I would suggest that people living in
suburban or country homes who have
the room to spare, take one or two OF
these poor little emaciated creatures
and care for them for a period OF from
one to four weeks according to means
and accommodations / am sure there
are many families who would be only
too happy to do this beautiful work II
they know where to find the children.
For such information they have but to
write me. care of The Times.
I have many on my list that are sore
+ly IN need of fresh country air and
proper food. The gratifying results of
ones e:orts In behalf of these children
ar. so wonderfully manifest at the end
Of the vacation period that no one can
helm feeling rewarded for their trou-
BILE.
The month of August is a trying one
for little ones. and were they to be
given the freedom OF country fields for
a time they would return home fortified
for a good winters work at school.

HUERTA GOES THE LIMIT.

Directly and officially comes from Mexico City
President Huerta's announcement that John Lind,
special agent of the United States Government will
not be received, and that he viii not be permitted in
the country,
Moreover, the Mexican chief of brigands an
nounces that if there is intervention in force, there
will be resistance in force: war.
This verges closely, to say the least on the limit
of offensiveness. Huerta might without improprieY
have refused to receive an emssary from President
Wilson who was unsatisfactory to him. Nations al
ways, before accredting an ambassador, make in
quiry whether the proposed selection will be agree
able; and there is no suggestion of offense if the
government replies that the profered ambassador is
non persona grata.
But Lind is distinctly not an ambassador to
Huerta or to Mexico. He is an agent of the Ad-
mnistraton, sent on proper mission to the capital
Of friendly power. Huerta does not yet know in
detail what his mission, his authority, or his COM
mission involve
This is time for careful management, cool
heads, and steady hands. Especially it time when
jingoism ought to be suppressed and buncombe BAN
ned. Intervention in force would be a misfortune at
best, crime at worst, tragedy in any event. 1t
must be avoided if avoidance is possible.
Moreover, hotheaded pubcists may we'll remem-
Der that in dealing with Huerta and Mexico some
concessions may be made, some patience exercised,
that would not be permissible in dealing with great
power. Our self-respect will permit moderation
that might not be possible in such an affair as
that which eliminated in Grover Cleyelands famous
uItmatum to England in the Venezuela controversy
The Washington times., 1913-08-08
ANOTHER TELLER REsoLUTIoN7

If there is to be Intervention in Mexico there
ought to be another Teller resolution.
II is-nons too early to think of the complications
and consequences involved in that chaotic situation
An insult to the Lind mission an affront such as
would be offered by Linds deportation as an unde-
sirable, would make armed intervention almost un-
avoidabe. Dealing with such ignorance, bgotry, and
vicousness as are personifed in the present Mexican
administration by assassination it is necessary to an
tcipate any eyentuaity
II, then, an American army shall cross the Rio
Grande, it should cross with the certainty that if will
return.
There must be pledge to the world that we are
not conducting war of conquest 1t must not be a
war WITH Mexico, but campaign IN Mexico,
For the United States to conquer Mexico and hold
II would be an invitation TO the fate that came to
ancient empires almost unnumbered when they went
into the business of colonial exploitation as national
enterprise. - sa
Mexico is about the richest and most alurinp niece
OF potential loot anywhere in the world today. The
iooters have filed on it. They only await restoration
OF opportunity to develop their claims.
If the United States moves into Mexico without a
Teller pledge it will never get out again.
The pledge must be made in advance or # will
never be made or kept.
