Father Is Overjoyed
When He Gets Word
of Release of His Son
7?v Associated Press.
Hutchinson. Minn., Aug. 19.
Samuel G. Peterson, father of Lieu
tenant H. G. Peterson, was over
joyed when informed early to-day
of the safe return of his son across
the border fo the American side.
"I consider that the army acted
promptly and did everything in their
power to help us," he said. "The
raising of the $15,000 ransom by
the cowboys in Texas was an exam
ple of true Americanism of which
I am proud. Their action may have
saved the life of my boy and his
comrade. Certainly now that the
Mexican rebels have captured and
held for ransom officers of the
United States Army, the government
cannot let bandit acts pass un
noticed. The capture of United
States Army officers by bandits sure
ly strikes at the heart of the gov
ernment."

The Mexican legation here to-day
made public telegrams from the For

taken by the Mexican Government

troops already have annihilated
"such bandits as Zapata, Blanquet

gaging Villa forces. The legation
also made public a note similar to
the Mexican reply to Washington

Washington, Aug. 19.—An Amer

aviator to fly across the Pacific
ocean, if plans being worked out
by the Navy Department mature

who made the first flight across the
Atlantic, is slated to head the Pa

from San Francisco, via Manila to
the mainland of Asia, more than
7,500 miles.
Tentative plans call for a flight
in four legs.
The first leg will be San Fran

ond, Honolulu to Midway Island,
1,100 miles; third, Midway Island to
Guam, 2,000 miles; fourth, Guam
to Manila, 2,500 miles.
The plans are being perfected in

The same general plan will be fol
lowed as in crossing the Atlantic.
Vessels will be stationed at inter
vals to render any needed assistance
