MEXICO, AFTER CRUSHING THE
REVOLUTION, is FACING
ANOTHER TASK.
Madero, the Revolution Leader, Has
Disappeared, Despite Efforts of
the Agents of Diaz.

Mexico City, Mexico.-With the Ma
dero revolution practically crushed out
the Mexican government found a task
of great magnitude, on it's hands-that
of crushing out the wave of Anarchy
which is following in the wake OF the
rebellion. Bandits and desperadoes
have banded with criminals released
from jail and, according to latest re-
ports, they are attacking and pillaging
small towns, driving off stock and do
ing great damage to railroad property.
Federal troops were sent to confiis-
cate the Mexican property of Frances
co Madero, upon whose head $4,000
reward has been set by the Mexican
government.
Madero has disappeared despite tae
efforts of soldiers, rurales and govern
ment secret agent to. find him. A
great nationwide search was started
for him under the stimulus of the re-
ward.
Government agents continued their
activities throughout the states in the
danger zone, buying up all the arms
and ammunition they could find. They
have acquired thousands of guns and
millions of rounds of ammunition al
ready.

WANTS A LARGE ARMY.
General Wood Paints a Gloomy Pic.
ture Of Shortcomings of U. S. +
in Annual Report.

EAHy III Animal nSPOih'
Washington Gen. Leonard
Wood, chief of staff, paints rather
gloomy picture of the lack of prepar-
edness of the army in case of war
in his annual report to the secretary
of war
There are weak spots in many d.
rections. he says, and most serious is
the shortage of field artillery and am
munition, a fault which should be i'm
mediately attended to. General Wood
declares that there is a. great lack of
reserve seacoast ammunition, and that
at the present rate of appropriation
by congress, it will take more than
fifty years to obtain reasonable sup,
ply of ammunition for the coast de-
tense and still longer time to Sc
cure the necessary number of field
artillery guns and ammunition. If the
regular army and organized militia
at war strength were called to arms
now, says General Wood, there would
be shortage of more than so per.
cent. in the field artillery necessary
to equip them.
General Wood strongly urges the
passage by congress of the bill pend
ing for raising volunteer army in
time of war. He says this will cost
nothing in time of peace, and will save
the government millions of dollars in
time of war.
Other needs of the military service
are set out in the report, including
the addition of 610 officers to replace
those detailed from line duties for
staff and militia work; the creation of
a reserve of not less than three hun
bred thousand men who have served
in the regular army or militia; the
concentration of the army in large
posts; the re-establishment of the can
teen, and finally the increase of the
signal corps and the acquisition of
aeroplanes.
