Mexico City, June 27.-~Foreign Min
lister Aguilar made pubic today mes
sages sent to l.atin-Anierican ooun-
tries IN which the government of the
United States is accused of perfidy
and with concentration OF troops along
the border with hostile purposes
toward Mexico. The messages are in
answer to communications from
South American countries, offering
their services to mediate between the
United States and Mexico
The messages say that after the in
cident at Matamoros, the United States
began to gather its armed forces along
the international line with the intcn-
ton Of aggression against Mexico. II
Is asserted that Mexico is not seeking
war but that If it is forced to fight, it
will so to the last extreme at the cost
Of the blood of its sons and the de-
struction of its wealth"
The messages conclude by stating
that the "perfidy" OF the American
not only affects Mexico,
but all Latin countries on this contin-
emit Il Is added that Eliseo Arredon-
do, the Mexican minister at Washing
ton, he's been instructed to get in touch
with his Latin American colleagues
who have offered to mediate and to do
everything in his power TO prevent
war.

in some instances the blade has been
broken into fragments without de-

The engineers OF some big water
power projects of the far west IRE
willing TO wager that a 200Apound
man, swinging a four-pound AK with
all his might, can not make a dent
in the water as 1t energies from the
nozzle at the power mouse. Burying
an az in a stream of water looks like
child's play ana the average 600
pound visitor is likely TO bite" He
invariably loses. So great is the We
locity of the water emerging from
the nozzle IN these modern power
plants that an AK. no matter how keen
its edge, is whirled from the hands
OF the axinan as soon as it touches
the water. The water. travels under
4 pressure exceeding 500 pounds to-
the square inch in many instances
and no power on earth can turn it
off at the nozzle. once It gains ino
nenturl. 1t has the same effect on
one's fingers as a rough emery wheel,
