 So much attention has been pait to our grievances against Mexico during President Wilson admin istration that many people may have forgotten what happened to Americans and American prop cray during the administration of President Taft.
 The New International YeaI- Book for 1910. after racotmting a series of lepredadons against Aa- rricans living in Mexico during that year. says Frequent re= ports have been made in recent rears pointing to tde great popH= lalitv Of Americans among cer- tain classes -in Mexico, especially the students. The disulrbane- es of l910 occurred but short time prior to the outbreak of the Madero revolution and were the most violent in many years.

 Following swiftly upon these wild scenes came 1he outbreak of tHe Hatlrro revolution on Noveu- ber=ls. Conditions along tae border continued to grow alarm ing and President Taft began dispatehing troops 10 points n Texas, Arizona and New Mexico in the carly part of February. 1911. By March :. 2o,oo0 regu- lars were in camp along the boz der.
 On ApriEl3 a rebel force at- tackled and captured Agaa Prieta opposite Douglas. Ariz. Com manders of both the Mexican forces were warned twice not to fire across the border by the com mander of the American troops at Douglas, but in spite of this warning three residents of Doug I las were killed and five Ware wounded. It was asserted by res- Iidents of Douglas that the Mex ican government forces at one stage of the battle deliberately turned their artillery on tie Aln- erican town.
 President Taft warned the Mexican government against tht further endangering of American lives and property along the border. The Nexicans promised to take proper precautions, but ass rted that Americans. Were to blame to a large extent bl not keeping away from the line of fire. However, on April L the Federal forces began another

 Governor Sloan of Arizona te1e- graphed President Taft demand ing protection. Mr. Taft. in re- plying. said that he might be jus tified in ordering troops to cross the border and attempt to stop the fighting or 10 fire upon both contestants from the American side. but that he would not take such a step because of the possi- bility of causing further blood- shed and the danger of having his motives misconstrued and mis- represented. The president al- so feared that such action along the border might i6oparelize fhe lives and property of Americans in Mexico.
 The two affairs at Aeaa Prieta aroused considerable r entment against the Mexieans. But the worst was yet 10 come. On May 9 and the rehels engaged in a two days assault of the Feder- al positions at Juarez. Bullets flew thick and fast into ElPaso during both days. but the 1000 American troops in Fl Paso were under instructions to do nothing save keep back the crowds from the danger zones.
