F0RESEES NEED OF
BIG AMERICAN ARMY
"The Times" of London, En-
larges on Difficulties OF
= Invasion of Mexico.
IBy Cable to The Tribune. ]

London, Nov. 1.-THE Times in an
editorial enlarges on the difficulties OF
successful American invasion OF Mex
leo, and says:
I'VE cannot doubt that President
Wilson and his advisers fully realize
the enormous difficulties the task might
present. The American army is no
doubt excellent in many respects as far
as 1t goes. 1t may be questioned, how
ever, whether at this moment 1t could
put more than $4,000 regular troops in
the field supplemented. perhaps, by
some 10000 or $4,000 militia. 1t has no
reserve, and practically no effective or
ganiZation.
AN army capable of safely invading
Mexico would have to be created. An
army capable of holding it might re-
quire to be 100000 strong, and it might
need several years to complete the
work. and when all was done il does
not seem impossible that the United
States might find, as we ourselves have
found before now. that it was far cas-
ier to get into such a country with
glory than 10 get out Of it with credit.
I'VE have no desire to, overstate the
military difficulties or political embar-
easements affecting all Spanish-Ameri-
can states which an invasion Of Mex
leo might involve. but they are so great
n nd hut bo aarnactlN tTlIcf
President Wilson may even yet avoid
them by wise and deXterous diplo-
macy"
The Daily Graphic" says: "Ameri-
can Intervention in Mexico is now
probably only a question Of days. In
the Old World. welded as 1t is now to
ideas of non-intervention, the policy of
President Wilson will perhaps find
some lively critics. On that head we.
will venture TO say three things.
The first is that Americans have
the right to order their politics as they
please. The second is that on their
merits President wilson's s motives are
entitled to our profoundest respect,
however much they may differ from
our own practice. and the third is that.
with memories of Lord John Russell
before us on the one hand and the
Holy Alliance on the other, we are
not qualified to lecture Wilson"
The Daily Chronicle" says it doubts
whether any Mexican leader could ad-
minister tIe unruly and backward ma
tion on the American prescription
without American military occupation.
The newspaper expresses the hope that
an American blockade Of Mexican ports
will not be resorted to, but II it is that
it will not continue longer than is nee
essary, owing to the large volume of
British trade which it would suspend
and might destroy.

The Minister of the Interior, Cara AL

a deputy in the Highway Department,
was called in to aid in this phase of
the inquiry.
1t is reported that the expenditures
Of this bureau ran In excess Of 81

have discovered that a prominent
Tammany Senator is involved in ap-
parently excessive expenditures in this

with the powers in Tammany Hall.
Through one OF these lawyers, the
story goes, the demand was finally re-

In spite Of all this IT is not expected
that Stewart will be a loquacious wit

animation, but the District Attorney
does not expect that he will go out Of
his way TO volunteer any Information.
Stewards possible story. as IT has
been outlined in information now in

mendously important as the biggest
link connecting the contractors assess

can hope to get anything like a COM
