WILSON ON CONSERVATION.

The first and foremost of the four things which have to be done" under the Wilson regime. as outlined ai Chicago bs the President-eleCt. is the abandonment of the conservation theory, or so much of it as comes under the head of ''Pinchotism.' This is to be d government of aA ministration. not exploitation. The people are to be served. not dented Our natural resources and public do. mains are to be restored to their normal state as an available assci of those whose title rests on the right Of discovery. Sources iron which should flow immediate weatli and happiness are no longer to be damned up and held in a sfa'e of disuse and decay pending tl.s advent Of an apocryphal starving and frostbitten posterity. This is to f be government of the living gen eration, by the living generation, for the living generation.
 In decreeing a change of policy the people naturally and reasonably expect the mistaken attitude of the government to be altered in.m ediatelN so that they may yet live 10 make the best of the rich heritage which providence vouchsafed their fprebears for generation upon generation with out intermission. II is too late the half million and moie former folk of the best American stock who found Pinchotism to be an i'm passabe barrier, and perforce took their way across the boundary. where fanciful theories are not thrown athwart national expansion and az grandiZement.
 But, of course, the adoption Of more liberal policy will serve tu check the exodus into Canada and prevent the movement from reach ing the maximum of actual and potential damage and modification that otherwise threatens. All tha' is required to restore the status quo is a change from a harsh to d liberal construction of the existing laws and the issuance of a new set of regulations in conformity herewith

ALASKA WILL NOT SUFFER.

Rumors have reached town from Washington that Charles Sulzer. the brother of the governor of New York state. is being pushed very strongly to succeed Governc. Clark of Alaska. Reports claim that he is even picked by politicians to have the place we'll cinched. although the friends of Major Strong are making hard fight for the berth for that gentleman.
 At this time there seems to be no one else in the field who is lining up with any show of strength except the above named two men.
 Charles Sulzer is man who has spent many years in Alaska and is well acquainted with Alaska, more es- pecially the Southeastern portion. He came to that section of the ter ritory long before the rush to the

states of Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Tam
aulipas, Chihuahua and elsewhere there
has come into an existence fighting ma
terial that is highly respected by all
who know it-los fuergos auxiliares,
sort of mounted police, under state su-
pervision, that would be heard from
most disagreeably in case Of interven-
tion.
The men forming this contingent are
probably superior to anything the re-
public has in its military establish
ment. The first demonstration of this
was given when, though recruited
from the rural population in the in
surrection districts, they refused to ad-

ment. Like the regular army, this in

bierno. What individual happens to

auxiliares of Nuevo Leon haunted
General Reyes until he thought it well
to surrender, in spite of the fact that
this old rebel had hoped to win them
over to his side, as, according to all
precedents south Of the Rio Grande,
he had good reason to hope.
Strong National Spirit.
A word must be said here for the re-

diced must admit that the Mexican, no
matter what his station in life, is
warmly attached to his country-his
republica. So great is this love of
country that only the supply of arms
could limit the number that would go
into the field in case of an invasion.
Since this is estimated at over mil
lion stands of rifles, there would be
no dearth in that direction. In a
united Mexico, moreover, there would
be no lack of ammunition for a hong
time. The republic not alone has ac-
Quired large stores of artillery and
small arms ammunition, but 1t has also
the mechanical equipment to manufac'
ture these in case an inevitable block
ade should make the importation OF
them impossible,

MEXICAN INVASION
OPINION OF
Would Probably Cost United
States $5O0,O0o,0 and
$4,000 Soldiers.
x..4s...4s...as

THERE was time when the gen
eral staff of the United States
army did think an invasion of
Mexico an easy matter. 1t was
thought then that a certain phenomen-
al military success, which landed the
American troops in Mexico City before
the world had thought it possible, could
be repeated at pleasure. Today a diff
ferent view prevails In the war depart
ment To it is due the fine control of
the governmental temper.
Three years ago everybody would
have laughed at the statement that it
would take 250,000 men to invade Mex
leo effectively, writes George Albert
Schreiner in the New York Evening
Post 1t was the habit then to assume
that company of Texas rangers could
cross the Rio Grande and subdue the
entire republic just as fast as their
mounts could cover it. The Mexican
army was then known as n most un-
soldierly aggregate of hombres who
had discarded the rags of the peniten-
tiary for the cheap cotton trousers,
gaudy tunics and headpieces of the ar
my. In a way this impression is yet
held, though the continuous insurrec-
tions and revolutions of the last two
years have modified It in at least one
important respect
Mexican Can Fight.
1t is admitted today that the Mexi-
can can fight when he has q mind TO
do this. But something is likely to be
overlooked here. The incessant tur-
moil has made soldiers out of Mexicans

manding that before he would treat
with the invader for his own good
there would have to be a complete
evacuation. Naturally to this the
United States government could not
consent Interminable guerrilla war
fare would be the consequence.
An Unpleasant Picture.
With bases established at Vera Cruz,
the City OF Mexico and Tampico, mil
ttary operations In the republic would
try could be swept clean of rowing
guerrillas and order established the
American army would have to be great
ly augmented. Nothing short of $780,
600 men would be needed for this
work, entailing an expenditure OF at
least $4,000 per day, or $1S2, 100000
IN year.
The claim made now and then that
it would take from ten to fifteen years
to subdue Mexico is very extravagant,
Of course Yet the task might stretch
over three to four years easily enough.
This is hardly bright picture, but
it Is the best that can be given Of the
subject. Probably the cost of pacifi-
cation would be not cent less than
$500 900, and casualties could not
be expected to number less than $4,000
men killed and invanded.
Those who may have been unable to
understand the inaction of the govern
ment can rest assured that the magni-
tude of the pacification Of Mexico is
fully appreciated by the war depart
ment. Intervention In Mexico might
become retreat or job badly done,

GENERAL vICTORIANO HURRTA
general staff of the United States army
has recently revised its plan of attack
AS late as the mobilization Of the ina
neuver division" in 1911, In some quar-
terS the opinion was held that an inva-
sion from the north was Indispensable,
though secondary to the main move
ment from Vera Cruz and an advance
from Tampico. 1t Is still somewhat
fashionable to seize capitals, though in
the light of recent experiences it does
not always serve any particular pur-
pose. The present plan of the war
department provides for concentra-
ton upon Vera Cruz and the capital.
Vera Cruz offers the best opportu-
nifty as a base for the main attack
upon Mexico City The distance to be
traversed is not very great-294 miles
by the best route There would be no
difficulty landing at that point force
sufficiently large to penetrate to the
capital In time. But there are consid-
tons from this point difficult At ia
lapa, but eighty two miles from the
coast, the country has already risen
to an altitude of 4,610 feet, or nearly
fifty-seven feet to the mile. Beyond
Jalapa and until Puebla is reached the
country is every bit as difficult
125.000 Men Needed.
1t is doubtful whether Mexico City
could be taken via Vera Cruz with less
than 125,000 men, The only hope of
the officer In charge of these operations
would lie in the superiority of num-
bers-the possibility that an extended
front, or line of attack, would develop
weak spots in the defensive tactics Of
the Mexicans. Individual courage is
sadly futile thing In terrain such
as this, and the fortune of war gen
orally is with the man behind the
boulder up on the hill 1t is almost
unnecessary to have seen painting in
fantrymen scale heights To understand
this.
Mexico City might be taken via Vera
Cruz in six weeks If no severe reverses
had been suffered Seven miles per
day with the country to be carried is
no mean performance.
Needless to say, the railroad to the
capital could not be used by the invad-
ing forces, and such is the territory
which the line traverses that In many
places 1t could be put out of commits
sion for months. The line between
Mexico City and Vera Cruz Is as diff
cult piece of railroad engineering as
can be found. The same is true Of
most of the other railroads operating
east and southeast of the capital. Es-
timating the cost Of military operations
at So per diem for each man employ
ed, we find that the taking of the Mex
lean capital, outside of the mobiliza-
ton expenditure and cost of equip
ment, would amount to S12,GOQOO0
Reverses Possible.
1t must be borne in mind, however,
that the case as here presented does
not discount even a single serious re-
verse. With the Mexicans hard TO dis
lodge, the invading army might find
itself checkmated 10 such an extent
that weeks would be consumed In the
carrying of points of strategical i'm
