AVIATORS ARE
RESCUED FROM MEXICANS
(By Associated Press.)

Maria, Aug. 10. 9.-Lieutenants s. G.,
Peterson and Paul H. Davis, Amerl
can aviators held for fifteen thousand
dollars ransom by Mexican bandits
were rescued today by Captain Mat
laick of the Eighth cavalry, who paid
half the money to the bandits and es-
capped with the two captives across
the border.
The American aviators declared
they were confused in directions after
being forced to land by engine trou-

headquarters when seized by Mexican
bandits.

sent out Of the country shorn Of ev-
erything they possessed.
The American who had gone to
Mexico in good faith, had the natural
right to protection that the constitu-
ton guarantees to every law-abiding
citizen. When these men, those that
were left, came back to this country
despoiled and robbed, they very nat
urally xepected the American govern
ment to be interested in their exper-
ience and supposed that they would
be protected in their rights. Under a
pacifist secretary of state, they were
told that the flag would not protect
them, that the country cared nothing
for their losses, that they had no
business in Mexico, anyway.
And because they have demanded
protection and because other full
blooded Americans have demanded
that the government fllfllls its obli-
cations to these and all other Amer
leans, the present day pacifsts and
mollycoddles, insist that their demand
is actuated and backed up by the
monied interests of the country for
profit.

SAME OLD CRY

Congress seems, at last, about to
move in the matter Of our relations
with Mexico.
1t is hardly necessary to point out
to the Intelligent reader that condi-
tions with reference to Mexico have
been in highly satisfactory state for
the past eight years, or more. Per-
haps it will be sufficient to say, as
did a congressman in the House OF
Representatives, the other day, that
Mexico is the only place in the
world where it is unsafe for man
to proclaim that he is an American,
to give slight idea of the conditions
tha texist in that country.
Ambassador Fletcher has made
formal report as to the outrages COM
mitted against Americans in Mexico,
within the last six years, not sin
gle incident Of which has brought
punishment to any perpetrator. The
list includes more than three hundred
murders, while the crimes against
Americans, including the outraging of
women and the destruction of prop
erty, are almost numberless.
There is now very distinct feeling
in this country that the time has
come to call Mexico to account, and
IL necessary, to do what we did in
Cuba for the purpose of making Mex
leo pleasanter and safer neighbor.
Naturally, as the opinion grows
that our relations with Mexico are be-
coming intolerable, there develops g
feeling among the pacifists, of every
degree, that we ought not to use
force in settling our Mexican. diff
culties. And they are using the same
Old tactics Of accusing the monied in
terests Of this country with bringing
on war for the purpose of making q
profit. That is their bald, unsup.
ported statement, which appeals to
many thoughtless people.
But to establish the fact that It IL
the monied interests that are agitat-
ing for war, and that the people are
not willing to vindicate the honor OF
the American flag or protect Ameri-
cans in their lawful errands on for
eign soil, the opposers of action to-
ward Mexico, will have to assume
and prove, that those three hundred
Americans who have been killed in
Mexico for no other crime than that
they were Americans, deliberately
went to Mexico for the purpose of
being murdered, and thus embroiling
us with Mexico to assure profits to
the monied interests. And they will
have to assume that the women who
have suffered indescribably at the
hands Of Mexican bandits, purposely
aided in bringing Mexico into disre-
rute with us, so that the interests
might profit by war time business.
The facts are that these and thou
sands Of other Americans went to
Mexico for the purpose of helping to
build up the industries of that coun-
try, at the invitation OF the Mexican
government and with the urgipgs OF
cur own. They spent their money and
years of their lives in building up
their business there, only to have II
destroyed, themselves ruined and
many Of them murdened and others
