General Funston.
Tue American Government

directing him to make vigor
Gus representations concern
ing the incident.
The note asked the Minis
ter to protest to the Huerta
Government that. if Parks

itself an unfriendly attitude
and that it the soldier had
been executed, as has been
reported, such execution of a

can lines in full uniform was
contary to military procedure
of civilized Nations and was
an act Of hostility.
