tBy Cable 10 The Trihune.1

London, Aug. s.-Several Parliament
tary reports recently have limited at
the possibility Of a scandal in the
armor and armament department Of
the British navy comparable to the
krupp revelations in Germany. The

mates, Of which Sir F. Banbury is
chairman, advising the government
carefully TO consider the question OF

in obtaining competitive bids for armor

The 5000 mobile troops available In
the United States would not begin 10
answer the purpose should there be coca
sion for military operations in Mexico.
Such force would be able to take
care of itself. of course. as IT is COM
posed OF trained soldiers under expert
enced officers Such a body could with
out doubt force its way either from
Vera Cruz or from the two points OF
railroad entrance in Northern Mexico
across the country TO the Mexican capl-
tai. This force. however. would b I'M
able 10 defend its line of supplies. when
II would be necessary 10 maintain for
the uninterrupted shipment OF ammuni-
ton and provisions.
This feature. army officers admitted
tonight. is the serious aspect of this
troublesome problem. II is realized that
invasion would be met with the pecu-
liar type Of guerilla warfare which IS
characteristic OF the Mexican fighter and
10 which the country lends Itself. That
means that II would be comparatively
easy matter seriously 10 hamper an IN
yading force by employing In advanta-
aeous positions r. comparatively small
opposing body. The railroads. crossing
deep ravines, can be so easily put ont
OF commission that IL would require
weeks and perhaps months Of labor Tor
restoration. This situation would require
an armed guard at every vulnerable point
along the line OF approach. and II i'm
narts 10 the situation serious aspect
which the most sanguine army officer
makes no attempt at concealing.
When IL comes 10 providing a military
force at all adequate to accomplish what
ever was desired by the administration
in the way OF Mexican pacihcatlon the
military authorities still incline TO the
conviction that there would be needed
an army Of fully 10000 men. II would
he necessary, therefore. TO provide for
a volunteer force. and II was this action
which was recently contemplated by the
leaders in Congress a. special emer-
gency measure, but President Wilson
vetoed such action lest II create alarm
and embatrass the State Department IN
it's efforts TO adjust the Mexican situa-
ton by diplomatic means
Mr.. Wilson informed his party asso-
ciates I'm Congress that legislation which
would be required in the event OF inter-
ventiop should not he undertaken unth
all other resources OF the government
had been exhausted. The first step to-
ward increasing the regular military
force on account OF the Mexican situa-
ton would be, therefore. the enactment
OF new and adequate volunteer army
law. which has already been framed and
is now before the House Military Conn
mittee.
