WAR COLLEGE PLAN

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.-The war de-
partment and the navy department are
not only ready to go into Mexico, but
they have worked out plans, they have
made arrangements to carry out these
plans and they can begin to move In
side a half hour
1t is again safe to say that within
two hours after the sending of tele-
graphic instructions from Washington
the guns of Uncle Sans artillery
would be in a position to wipe Juarez
on the map in a case of no surrender
and to raze Matamoras, Nuevo Laredo,
Naco. Cananea and every other Mexi-
can town along the border.
American troops would hold all the
outlets within a day, if that were
necessary, and control the termnini of
the railroads, national or private
while fleets of warships In the Allan
tic and the gulf of Lower California
would be moving up to capture every
Mexican port
A NATTER OF DAYS ONLY
A full day would see 10000 infan-
trymen and artillerymen-a full divi-
sion-at Texas City on transports
which are now waiting for them.
bound for Vera Cruz, the first i'm
portant strategic point toward Mex
leo City.
The following day would see every
United States soldier on the mainland
on train from Washington on the
western coast and Vermont in the
east moving toward the posts assigned
to them.
This is no guesswork and prophecy;

ranged for and tested, the supplies
provided for. It only required six
hours to start for Cuba in the last
Intervention, and it will not take so
long in Mexico.
CAVALRY GUARD FRONTIER
AS the situation stands today, there
are six regiments OF cavalry, about
$500 men, guarding the frontier from
Brownsville Tex, to San Diego, Cal.
The Second and Third cavalry are at
FL Paso, the Fifth and Ninth in Ari-
Zona, the Thirteenth in New Mexico
and Fourteenth from opposite Nuevo
Laredo to Marsa, Tex.
There are in addition companies of
field artillery stationed at every point
near an important Mexican border
town.
Brigadier General Hugh l. Scott at
I'll fdSo Is IN command OF the DOToef
patrol. and upon him will fall the
responsibility of the first move. Gen
eral Scott, who has fought along the
border for years. is ready for 1t. His
command can move with the quick
ness of fire company, and he knows
exactly what to do.
10000 INFANTRY ON BORDER
There are 10000 infantrymen at
Texas City and Galveston, under the
command of Major General william
H Carter, all as hard as hard service
can make them, and within call are
six transports lying along the
wharves at Galveston, ready to take
them out
The infantrymen belong to the GEN.
trail department, which has head
quarters at Chicago, but General Scott
and his men are under the command
Of the southern department, the head
OF which is Brigadier General Tasker
H. Bliss, with headquarters at Fort
Sam Houston, San Antonio where Is
stationed another large force of men.
The Fourth, Seventh and Eighth
cavalry are in the Philippines or Ho-
nolulu, the First field artillery Is in
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1913-11-04

Honolulu and the Second in the Phil
ippines; the other four organizations
are all within reach
$4,000 MEN AVAILABLE
The First. Third. Eighth and Fiji
teenth infantrys are in the Philip
pines, the Twenty fifth is in Homo
lulu. while the Tenth is at Panama
All the others are ready, either on the
east or west coast.
The United States army has avail
able for service as a mobile army in
Mexico about $1,000 men of all arms.
This does not include the 10000 coast
artillery nor the soldiers now In the
Philippines. Hawaii and the canal
zone.
A month will see the mobile army
increased. for the coast artillery could
be drawn upon by the field artillery
and veterans of other campaigns with
new recruits would come in to raise
the strength to $4,000 without impair
ing efficiency
NO REPETITION OF CUBA
OF course 1T is given to no one in
private life to say that such and such
is the definite authorized plan Of the
United States. That is known only to
the war college and the general star
at Washington and to the heads of
the navy, but enough of the general
plan is known to say that there will
be no repetition of Cuba in the Mex
lean campaign IL Intervention comes
No horde made up of trained soldiers.
unframed militia and irregular troops
will wage the campaign. The United
States is not going to inundate with
soldiers; 1t is going to embargo Mex
leo.
Every available warship of the
United States is going to blockade
and patrol Mexican waters until not
steamship or boat Of any kind can
land a rife or cartridge on its coast.
In this way the United States will
have the moral assistance of practi-
cally every world power, except per-
haps Japan Japan has been doing a
thriving business selling supplies to
the Mexican federals on the west
coast and some of its enterprising
shippers may endeavor to continue in
that trade
NO NAVAL BATTLE POSSIBLE
On the east coast there will be no
trouble, either from the countries to
the south or from Europe. Europe has
too much at stake in Mexico to render
any assistance. The navy will have
no fights. A single battleship can
take care of anything that floats in
either ocean under the Mexican flag.
Then across the 1920 or more miles
of border, from Matamoras to Yuma
and along the gulf south of San
Diego, there will be thrown a line Of
Is 900 or more militia men border
guards, whose only duty will be the
defending of the American border
towns. the prevention OF raids and
smuggling and the protecting OF the
various bases.
There will not be much attempted in
the way of smuggling. The country
is tapped only by about five railroads
and war supplies are manufactured
only by limited number of concerns
in the country. The railroads Will
simply not carry the freight and that
practically ends and chance OF interior
Mexico lighting with anything more
deadly than bows and arrows
Statesmen with no special knowl-
edge on the subject have dwelt feel
ingly on the enormous cost In life and
in money Of Intervention. Men along
the border admit that the cost will be
great but they do not agree as to the
cost in lives

NO ULTIM AT u VI
WASHINGTON, Nov. A.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A.
w Secretary of State Bryan
today denied that any ulti-
matum had been sent to Mex
leo. The secretary gave out
the following statement short
ly after noon today:
It have made it a rule not
to discuss the newspaper re-
ports concerning international
matters, but the nature of the
dispatches from Mexico this
morning suggests a departure
from that rule at this time.
@No ultimatum has been sent
TO Mexico. and 1t is unfortu-
nate that the press should give
credence TO such a report. The
harm done by such speculation
or even the inaccuracies in re-
gard to domestic questions is
limited by people unacquafnted
with the subject, who can make
allowances, but, as the mis-
statements I'm regard to inter-
national matters may lead to
serious consequences. feel jus
titled I'm making the above de-
niaI.-

..national diplomats held here. that is
= likewise untrue. To the best of my
knowledge there has not been meet
ing. of the diplomatic corps for a
. month. The Russian, German and
e. Norwegian ministers have been in
. VEGA Cruz for several days, and 1T is
patent I could not have conferred
:. with them"
Attempts to get Huerta to discuss
the rumored ultimatum or talk about
S.the foreign relations OF Mexico were
futile.
HUERTA ALSO EvASIvE
He said: The future will speak for
itself"
1t is believed the United States will
ssact in such manner as to make it
plain to Huerta that he must abdi-
cate in order to avoid armed inter-
.vention.
1t is not believed, however. that
a formal request in the form of an
ultimatum will be delivered. At least
not right now.
WILL IGNORE ILTIMATTM
=. .Huerta will ignore. for the time be-
!: ing at least. the demand of the United
:. States to resign from the presidency
His future action depends on the out
q. come Of conferences which he will
hold with the members of the diplo-
:. matte corps. The first of these took
place in the national palace last night
8 while troops guarded the entrance to
tie structure.
None of the diplomats who took part
would discuss the meeting today. 1t
Is reported that Huerta made a long
. address to the foreign ENJOYS and
told them Of the steps he is taking to
;. restore peace in Mexico and pledged
: himself to establish tranquility in the
republic If he could have their sup
:; port 1t is said he made bitter at
!. tack on the American government, de-
: claring his every effort had been ham
pered from the beginning of his ad-
ministration by the Washington OIL
Gals, and that had it not been for
their interference he would have been
; able to secure loan large enough to
establish the financial stability of his
government.
CONFERENCES STILL ON
The conferences are expected to last
several days and Huerta, it is expect
ed. will make a reply to President
Wilson'S demands only after the for
eign ENJOYS have communicated his
plea 10 their home governments and
receive Instructions
The diplomatic relations. however.
will probably not be severed until the
= present conferences cease The en-
voys of Russia, Germany and Norway
returned from Vera Cruz today.
