WASHINGTON. So menacing lirtvo
conditions on tho Texas border
become that a patrol of United Stujcs
troops has been established on tho
Rio dramlo to cooporato with tho
civil authorities in tho enforcement
of the neutrality laws. Secretary of
War Stlmson has authorized General
Duncan, commanding tho department
of Texas, to enforce tho laws with
vigor and to move tho troops under
his command within divisional Urn
its without waiting orders from
tho department. Tho United States
has 6,000 troops on the border
nnd It is not probablo moro will bo
eont south. Orders to moblllzo 25,000
men in the zono paralleling tho north
ern boundary of Mexico have boon Is
sued by tho wnr department of Moxlco
to enpturo any bands of revolutionists
who may bo successful in crossing tho
border from Texas and to surprcss
any troublo that may arise.

Washington I. Chnmbors, who has
charge of the aeronautical work of tho

Captain Chambers believes that ns
soon as a solution Is found for tho
motor problem, on which practically
all aviation experts now are wording,
tho installation of hydro aeroplanes aB
n part of tho equipment of battleships
will bo begun.
It Is not considered probablo that
tho navy aeronauts will follow tho
plans of tho army and movo their
equipment south for practice during
tho winter. When tho wentber at An

experiments nro carried on, bo

PRESENT indications nro that tho
Are losses In the United States
and Canada for 1911 will exceed $2G0,
000,000. Tho figures for tho first
soven months of tho year show a to
tal of $154,992,900, as compared with
$120,007,800 during tho samo period
last year. Tho losses for 1910 woro
$234,100,050, and if tho present rntlo
of increaso continues throughout tho
year, the 1911 losses may approach
$300,000,000. This will exceed any

tho army permits of no such efficiency.
This systom divides tho nrmy Into a

by domestic economic considerations
as by regard for tho stability of tho
Madero regime In Mexico.
Tho United States docs not want

Federal authorities have seized
great quantities of arms nnd ammuni

Tho Mexican authorities nPo still

by tho navy department for an Instru

navy would bo willing to pay for a set

In time of wnr, naval ofllcers- say,
this Instrument would bo Invaluable.
Although messages being sent by an
