Mexican Minister
Denies Accusations
of Fall on Seizures
BIZ Associated Press

Mexico City, Thursday, Dec. IL
Mexico has never contemplated or
considered the adoption of the plan
of San Diego" for the purpose of Sc
curing portions of the southwestern
territory of the United States, de-
clared Manuel Aguirre Berlanga,
minister of interior to-day. This
statement was made when the min
isters attention was called to charges
recently made by U. S. Senator Fall,
of New Mexico.
Senator's Falls charges were con-
tained in a memorandum submitted
to President Wilson recently. Among
other things the Senator alluded to
a plot said to have originated at a
small town, San Diego, Texas, and
made public at Monterey, Mexico,
early in 1915. 1t was declared that
on February 20, 1915, there should
arise a revolution against the gov
ernment of the United States, that
the independence of Texas, New
Mexico. Arizona, Colorado and Up
per California would be proclaimed
and that these states after being
declared an independent republic
would later request annexation to
Mexico.
In conclusion Senator Falls report
said: 'At the very moment of clos
ing this investigation of the acts of
Carranza in favoring and attempting
to carry out the plan of San Diego,
evidence was brought to the com
mittee not only of the propaganda
efforts of the Ca-ranza government
but further evidence showing that
Carranza himself directly was. now
engaged in assisting in the formu-
lation or at least with the knowl-
edge that plans were being formed
similar to those in the plan of San
Diego in some respects"

THE WORLD STRUGGLE FOR AERIAL
SUPREMACY

The coming of the R-34 marked the opening of an
international conflict for the control of the air Already
two nations England and Germany are actively
gagged in the struggle Within few days the RIB
sister ship to the R-34-is to start trip to India
as preliminary to the establishment of regular airship
transportation lines between England, France, Switz-
erland Italy, Egypt, and India. Moreover other and
larger vessels of similar type being rapidly built
by England, including drigble which, it is stated
will be LOO feet long, 1877 feet in diameter and have
lifting capacity five times great the R-34 This
monster, which will require 100000 cubic feet of
gas, will have cruising radius of $4,000 miles near
y two-hirds of the circumference of the EARTH and will
be able easily to travel without stop, from England
to even the most remote parts of the world within
comparatively few hours.
While England is making rapid progress in airship
construction, g world will find as soon the facts
become known that Germany is in this matter far in
advance of even England The Germans have had the
advantage, by number of years. of careful study and
experimentation in connection with the construction
and operation of the type of rhp and she has already
a large fleet of these big vessels, of which
reported to be several times big the R-34 Their
exact size stated but it is said that they have
cargo capacity of at least 800 Then too Germany
has special incentive of activity upon aerial fleet
for possible in of well peace because
of the fact that her marine and merchant fleets
have been depleted result of the war, that she
cannot for years compete successfully with other large
countries in ocean commerce and must therefore turn
to the airship for relief
In the realm of aerial transportation Germany now
leads the world, and she and evidently intends to
maintain that lead for at least considerable period
England is undertaking with considerable success to im
tate the Zeppelin type of airshp but yet England is
only imtaor Germany leads the way. Moreover she
is able to construct these giants Of the air very rapidly
She is in position to rush German statesmen and
samples of German goods to all parts of the world and
will lose time in doing it that trade barriers
have been removed. Indeed it is now being definitely
announced that German Zeppelin international passen-
ger and freight transportation lines will be established
early in the fall; and in New York and other cities
