ARMY IS READY.


All Details Arranged 10 ~0f'~ ~S'~~~
Men to China.
Washington, March alt Is possible
tedav TO give for the first time the de-
tails of the preparations which the
War department 10 making for an in
vasion Of China. In case OF necessity,
which to military minds seems immi-
nent. it is the intention of the govern
ment to dispatch $1,000 regulars from
the United States to join Philippine
force of 5000 men for an expedition to
the Chinese empire.
The troops for the Oriental service
have been selected, the posts from
which they will be taken are named
in the plans and the proper allotment
has been made among the various
branches OF thu service. Not only has
this been-done by the officers who have
been working out the invasion scheme,
but they have perfected plan for the
distribution of the troops which will
remain in the United States, so that
they may be available In case OF home
disturbances.
The scheme of invasion as at present
contemplated is with the view princi-
pally of combination of the Ameri-
can forces with those of other powers,
but a subsidiary arrangement has been
made to meet the possibility that the
United States will be forced to act
alone.
If the situation in China demands
the dispatching of American soldiers
for a march to Pekin, within three
weeks OF the time OF the call to arms
there will not be regular infantryman
left within the borders of the United
States, for 1t is the intention Of the
department to send it's full force into
the field, save only the infantrymen
doing duty in the Philippines.
AS stated in previous dispatches, the
officers of the War College have esti-
mated that 100, 1000 men will he neces-
sary to make All invading force strong
enough to conduct successful cam
paign against Pekin. If by an unfor-
tunate trend of events it should become
necessary that America act alone, there
would be no attempt at the outset to
reach the Forbidden City. Tentative
plans, in case America goes alone into
the fight, contemplate joint army and
navy expedition to seize one of the
greater coast tow in China. This
might or might not have an effect on
the Chinese government, but, because
of recent events, it would seem that
the Chinese governments is not all
powerful in the control of it's affairs,
and as consequence such seizure
might be of little avail, save possibly
for indemnity purposes.
