to the report that the situation was
being handled directly from the White
House and that reports dealing with
both the military and diplomatic fea-
lures on receipt here are sent to Presi-
dent Wilson.

This fact, Gen. Dickman stated, has
put an entirely different light on the
matter.
my position was that the promise
OF the great Government should be kept
at all COSTS" said the general to-day.
II do not think that Captain Matlack
fully realized this fact, since he told
me that he did not know the payment Of
the ransom was authorized by the
Government but thought It was raised
by cattlemen.
"Ie was in some danger of being
cut of with Lieut.. Davis at the time
he made the dash, but he did a very
brave thing to go two miles into Mexico

MORE PLANES SEEK
LOST BORDER FLIERS
Fear Felt Officers May Haze
Fallen in Mexico.

SAN DIEGO, Cal. Aug. 22-Despite a
high fog which is hamperins the search
more air planes started out to-day to
comb the border in the hunt for heuts-
Frederick B. Waterhouse and C. H. Con-
nelly OF the Ninth Aero Squadron, who
disappeared last Tuesday when on flight
to this city from Yuma, Ariz. 1t is
feared the aviators have fallen and are
prisoners of Mexicans on the other side
OF the border.
Early to-day two armed De Haviland
planes, manned by Capt. Sidney Eberly
and Lieuts. H. O. Williams, X. N
Kelly and b. F. Hunter assembled and
started for the border to search for the
men. At the same time Lieuts. p. L.
Williams and A. G. Smith, using a radio
machine, are securing tho mountains
and hills for the lost aviators. They re-
ported from Tampa to-day after flying
there last night.
Twenty powerful airplanes. In addition
TO the machines now engaged in the
search, are held at Rockwell Field ready
to Join the hunt for the missing aviators
the moment the word Is given. Every
machine IL supplied with ammunition.
and the crews are standing by in In
slant readiness to take TO the air
Eight OF the machines are the most
modern 400 horsepower airplanes and
tors. A contingent OF 24s enlisted men
Is held at the field to assist in the
search.
One report, at variance with the gen.
orally accepted one that the missing
aviators were seen last over Jacumba
on Wednesday. is that man and a boy
saw two airplanes over the desert south
OF Calexico on Wednesday evening and
that the engines of one or both planes
were sputtering and apparently giving
trouble,
One feature OF the present search that
is pleasing to the relatives and friends
OF Waterhouse and Connolly is that
Gov. Cantu has ordered Mexican SOL
