WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Every
move for an armed invasion of Mex
leo has been plotted and today putting
the plans into effect awaits only ali
Intervention order. Both the army and
navy are ready. They have mapped
out exact and minute campaign
plans. Every commanding officer in
the service is "on his toes" awaiting
a fash from Washington which might
call him into active service
Dispatches to the war department
today said that the two transports at
Newport News were being loaded and
provisioned with coal and food for
a two-months voyage.
As explained to a United Press
correspondent here today, the army
is ready in every branch. Tho mo-
ment President Taft calls his cabi-
net and says intervene" the wheels

portion Of the army for transporta-
ton to Vera Cruz and other strategic
ports on the eastern coast-probably
Tampico and Tuxpan. This would be
known as the southern campaign" "
The object would be to cut off all
source of outside communication with
Mexico City thus shutting of sup
plies of food and munitions of war.
Probably not more than 5000
troops would be landed on the east
coast. These. assisted by the land
ing forces of marines and blue-jack-
cts from the battleships which would
be stationed in the various ports,
would seize all railroads leading to
the interior. Then little by little, the
whole country would be gone over
and disarmed.
Gradually the forces would draw

City II is estimated by strategists
at the army war college that this
movement would require nearly two
months. The field of operations
would be vast The soldiers would
have to operate trains as we'll as
guard them. A permanent guard
would have to be maintained at shori
distances along the track to save its
destruction BY the rebels.
From the east coast, no attempt
would be made to erter the city hn'
