10 STUDY CONDITIONS.
War Department sends Officers &c
South America for That PURPOSE.

Washington. Oct. 19.-The general
staff of the army has decided to send
agents into South America to study
military conditions there as a prepara-
ton for val involving the United States
which may be fought in that part of
the world.
This policy Is based on the conclusion
that the next conflict of the American
government will be for the maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine. 1t is said to be
the opinion of the general staff that
hostilities ultimately will come with
one or more European powers over the
principles embraced in President Mon
rOe's message
The important mission to Venezuela
and to the isthmus of Panama from
which Captain e. b. Humphrey and
Lieutenant Il. V. d. Murphy returned
to Washington yesterday, was UNDER
taken al the instance of the war de-
partment in June. two months before
the general staff law went into effect.
In following out the departments ex-
ample the general staff is to collect
data on a much moro extensive scale.
and several army officers Will start for
South American capitals Mt once They
will be accredited as military attaches
to the United States legations.
Good Men to Go.
The officers have been selected from
among the younger men of the general
staff, whose membership comprises the
! pick of the army. Not one OF them. 1t
is claimed. owed his preference to any
political or social consideration.
Behind the activity of the general
staff Is understood to be a reason more
immediate than the mere opinion that
/, III maintenance of the Monroe doc
trine will be settled by force of arms.
1t mas come to the knowledge of the au-
thorities that military agents Of Euro
pean countries are busily collecting in
! formation as to the character OF the
roads, the country generally and the
food supply in South America. While
the well-established army staff organ
izations of Europe have been collecting
data OF this nature for many years in
other territory. they have not hereto
fore devoted themselves to Latin Amer
lea. The awakening of Their Interest in
this connection is naturally regarded
with suspicion.
