| lean soldiers might be snufied out IN
such an enterprise. All they desire
is that their mines and plantations be
poiiced so they may continue their
exploitation project and their e.vi-

The cost Of a war with Mexico
would not be borne by these rich men,
| either, but would almost wholly fail
upon the Shoulders of the masses. The
only funds the United States govern
ment has, with which 20 finance a
war, are those which have been raised
by taxing the Things the people must
eat, wear and use, in order to live.
OF all moneys in the treasury, 80 per
cent has been collected from the CON-
mon people.
When armed troops once cross the
Rio Grande, no man is SO wise that
he can foretell when they. will return.
or what unexpected complications may
set in before the conflict can end.
That all factions in Mexico would
unite to resist armed Intervention by
the United States, and that armed
intervention, therefore. would mean
war, there is little doubt.
Officials of the war department be-
lieve that anywhere from 100000 TO
100000 men would be necessary to
maintain anything like peace in Mex
leo. The guerrilla warfare is the
Mexican method of fighting. Every
time the Americans would capture a
city, however small it might be, sui
ficient troops would have to be left
to hold it. Otherwise bands of Mex
}. lean fighters would return from tbs
mountains and recapture it. The
War department we'll recognizes il
would be necessary TO have sufficient
troops TO police every part of Mexico
at the same time, otherwise wher
peace was being enforced at one
: point, revolution would break out il
another
If American troops conquer ths
whole of Mexico, evacuation would
, become difficult. If possible at all. We
