MAY Be DASH
INTO MEXICO
Army Officers at San Antonio
Believe That There viii
be Intervention
TO PREVENT AN ALLIANCE
OF MEXICO AND JAPAN
By United Press Leased speciaI wire

By United Press Leased Special Wire
SAN ANTONIO. Texas. March 1S.-
Almost immediate armed Intervention
IN Mexico. under the guise of ending
the revolution, restoring peace and
protecting foreign interests but with
the possible real motive. the preven-
ton of a Japanese Mexican coalition
was believed inevitable by the high
est officers of the first 'maneuver"
division today.
Orders were issued today to brigade
and regimental commanders to pre-
pare the divisions for instant field
service under actual war conditions.
The first maneuver division came
TO San Antonio on less than a peace
footing, scarcely 5000 trained men
arriving with the regimental organi-
cations. Recruits have been rushed
into the ranks until today the division
numbers 10000 These 1000 recruits
are absolutely unframed They do
not yet know how to handle a rife
But they have been put through the
most rigid course of instruction re-
cruits ever encountered, spending
from six to eight hours daily learning
the rudiments of drill.
That Mexico is to be the objective
point of a war move is practically
conceded. The Southern Pacific rail-
road is admitted to be holding suf-
ficient passenger an stock cars I'm this
neighborhood to throw a cavalry
brigade into Mexico In a single day.
That the present situation is con-
sidered grave is shown by the secret
order issued to brigade and regi-
mental commanders, to overhaul
equipments, so as to travel in the
lightest possible order.
officers here believe that a flying
brigade Of cavalry will be the only
troops to dash across the Rio
Grande if Intervention comes. The
infantry will be sent to Galveston
and carried by warship and trans.
ports to Vera Cruz, the strategical
point from which General Scot
marched on Mexico City seventy years
ago.
