Washington, April 25.-"Mexico
City next" is the slogan OF the army
and navy.
Heads OF both branches of the serv-
ice believe now there is no chance OF
peace. They are expecting momen.
tarily a formal declaration OF war
from Huerta and they are ready.
The program of the president and
Secretary Bryan that the United
States should remain quiet at Vera
Cruz is disapproved by men who know
the situation. They say that unless
this country acts promptly and rushes
a force to Mexico City our forces will
be decimated by disease and constant
attack from the land. They believe
that energetic action alone will pre-.
vent long drawn out war.
The general staff OF the army and
navy have told the president, through
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels,
that IL the Mexican capital is seized
this country can dictate its terms and
assure restoration of peace. But IL
action is not immediate the president
has been told that Huerta will be able
to gather to his support Zapata and
his brigades and a large portion OF
Carranzas and Villas men, who, IL
Is believed will desert these chiefs II
they do not fight the United States.
This question Is being threshed out
by the president In conference with
his cabinet officials. Should Huerta
formally declare war the action of the
United States would be materially
simplified. There would be no fur.
ther hesitancy. All available troops
would. be ordered to Vera Cruz and
