MARINE OFFICER
THINKS WILSON IS
DOING RIGHT THING

Atlanta, Dec. captain Ernest E.
West of the U. S. marine corps, who
was in Atlanta this morning, takes a
pessimistic view of the size of the
task Uncle Sam would have in subju-
eating Mexico.
He says Intervention would mean no
less than complete subjugation and
that to accomplish such result it
would require an army of 100000 for
fifty years.
He goes even further and says the
standing army would have to be in
creased by CONSUMPTION, and that
many of the conscripts would have 10
spend the rest of their lives in Mex
ico.
Captain West says that President
Wilson has gone clear outside of in
ternational law and has sought the
judgment of moral law in his policy Of
refusal to recognize Huerta as ruler
Of Mexico.
Wilson simply refuses to recognize
a murderer" says Captain West. eve
oil bpo,.y thof IJuarto,c bopde No ra5
with the blood of President Madero.
Success by revolution and violence
has become a thing of the past in this
western hemisphere.
Captain West added that the forces
of the United States are prepared Off
any eventuality, and that further
preparation for war would only mean
recruiting more men"
