Representations on Air
plane Attack.

The firing. by Mexican troops,
on an American atrplane recently.
near Laredo. is shown by a report
made to the War Department by
Gen. Dickman to have been un-
justified.
The issue will be threshed out by
the State Department and the Mex

the State Department that the mere
expression of regret would not
preclude a thorough and full inves-
tigation. 1t was said that were
Mexico to apologize the incident
would be considered closed.
The official statement issued by
the state Department sets forth
that the American Embassy at Mex
leo City called the attention of the
Mexican government to the report
of the affair and that the Acting
Minister for Foreign Affairs as
sured tho embassy that there
would be an immediate thorough
investigation with a view to a sat
isfactory adjustment Of the incl

1t is stated here that the only
question in the case is where was
the airplane with respect to report

of the stream was it when it was
fired upon? This is the point, II is
