The Consul at Mexicali (Boyle) to the Secretary of State

Mexicali, July 29, 1920.
[Received 11:50 p.m.]

Governor Cantu has in his employ two American aviators who state that they are carried on civil basis as instructors. I have pointed out to each of them the seriousness of rendering military service either directly or indirectly in the impending conflict between the forces of Cantu and the Government. My firm belief is that Cantu bases great hope in using these aviators to drop explosives on landing parties.
