THE DIFFERENCE


Nine Americans were killed in Mexico fcNa
days ago by bandits who SEN their trains into
collision in a dynamited tunnel. The incident
attracted some attention in the United States
but no action on the part of the state department
resulted, aside from Bryan telegraph message
or two. Now one British subject has been killed
and Immediately the British foreign office. the
House of Commons and the consrlls take the
matter mp, Bryan jumps into activity and the

Of the reasons for the difference in developments
Of the two incidents is that the Americans were
killed by bandit at the head of hundred men
while the BritoI was killed by bandit at the
head of 10000 men. Another reason is that
Americans have been warned TO get out of Mex

peril They have small protection from their
