PLANS FOR LANDING
MADE YEAR BEFORE
Surgeon General Reports That
Mexican Situation Was
ForeSeen by Department.

The disclosure that the navy had
made plans to land bluejackets in Mex
eco for year before the occupation of
Vera Cruz is made in the annual report
of Surgeon General BREASTED to Secre-
tary Of the Navy Daniels today.
For a year or more the necessity OF
landing forces on Mexican territory had
appeared to be imminent enough TO
Justify the formulation of complete
plans for such a landing Surgeon Gen
eral BREASTED says in his report. which
covers the fiscal year period ended June
30 last
The feet surgeon of the Atlantic fleet,
with his assistants. had carefully work
ed out in every detail the equipment of
the landing forces, the organization of
the medical and hospital corps, and the
sanitary organization to take charge OF
the public health and sanitation of
whatever cities might be occupied. The
advance preparation of these plans
greatly aided the smoothness of opera
ton which characterized the entire man
euyers."
Surgeon General BREASTED pays high
compliment TO the behavior of the hos
pitai corps and stretcher bearers under
fire during the fighting at Vera Cruz.
In the hottest skirnishes of the first
days firing" the report says, the
wounded were attended to without
thought of the personal danger encoun-
tered in leaving cover
A hospital ship in each fleet is urged
by the surgeon general. At present the
Solace. with the Atlentic fleet, is the
only boat engaged in this work, and ii
has been necessary to utilize golfers.
There is also a shortage in the Medical
Corps, and in hospital supplies, to meet
extraordinary demands, though the
medical department, the surgeon gen.
eral says, is prepared to meet ordinary
peace demands
Surgeon General BREASTED renews his
recommendation that uniforms of kahi
and forestry green be provided for land
ing parties of American sailors, as their
present uniforms of white make them
targets for bullets.

In discussing the problem which
Washington will be called upon 10 face
when the alley bill goes into effect. Mrs.
Wood said:
The elimination of the alleys OF
Washington as places OF residence
was accomplished through 4 bill.
which was a hastily constructed sub
sttute for the measure drafted by
the committee of citizens. Tho cIII-
Zens' bill contemplated the elimina-
ton of the alley residents over a
period of ten years. an average Of
about LOO year. The bill as
parsed, however. requires the alleys
TO be cleared OF more than 1900 poo
pie by 19lS-a little more than three
years time.
Before this bill as 1t stands goes
into effect, throwing upon the city
thousands OF people who are too
helpless to readjust their living con-
ditions for themselves, the housing
of the poor of Washington must be
gone into thoroughly and promptly.
Need Other Legislation.
Among these folk are deserted
wives with children, widows with
others dependent upon them, con-
sumptive fathers of large families,
cripples and ircompetents.
AS a city. Washington spends mil
lions on its schools, feeling a proper
responsibility for the education of
its children, but the city should also
realize its responsibility in the mat
ter of sanitary housing. Are We to
send the children of the alleys back
into insanitary houses, seeded with
tuberculosis germs, and a menace to
the physical, moral. and mental well
fare Of the children who are reared
in them?
Unless supplementary legislation
be passed to complement the statute
which abolished alley residences. or
unless some plan can be arrived at

city, through an act Of Congress
which goes into effect in July, 1918.
Mrs. Albert Norton Wood, chair
man of the joint committee through
which the aid of Mr.. Adams was
obtained, declares that unless legis-
latioH is had to supplement the
alley bill, the city wiH face a
greater emergency three years from
now than that occdSioned by the
unprepared-for passage Of the Ken
yOn "red lighf' bill.
BY KENDRICK SCoFIELD.
Eleven thousand residents OF the
District Will automatically become
homeless within the next three years
by the operation Of the statute which
abol.shes alleys as places Of residence.
Some of the 1900 are widowed
mothers. upon whom depend the sup
port of children.
Others are elderly folks incapacitated
by the encroaChment Of age to provide
for themselves better homes than they
now occupy in the courts and alleys OF
the city.
Still more OF them are consumptives,
or cr!pples or sufferers from chronic
ailments which have so debilItated

provide sufficient funds 10 insure TO
