Comes Up for Discussion at the
Comes Up for Discussion at the
Meeting.
Possible Change in the Situa-
tiOn Is Hfnted At.

Washington, April 25.-A lengthy
conference. in the early morning
hours today. among Secretary Garri-
son. Chief of Staff Wotherspoon,
Major General Wood and other Off
GERS. was the elimination of a night
Of bustling activity at the war depart
ment. Strict secrecy was maintained
as to the conference but conditions on
the border and movement of troops to
Vera Cruz were said to have been con-
sidered.
The military heads. it was reported,
discussed conditions generally, with
particular reference to the situation on
the Texas border. Word was received
that troops ordered from the Pacific
coast. to the Texas border, were en-
trained for Fort Sam Houston.
Reports that General Wood and
General Scott had been ordered to
Vera Cruz to take charge of the army
movements there, were emphatically
denied, and General Wotherspoon de-
clared. early today that absolutely no
new army orders had been issued. The
attack on Laredo, Texas, by Mexican
federals evacuating Nuevo Laredo
across the border, was especially dis
cussed and the sending of the Texas
militia into the field as an aid to the
federal troops on border patrol, was
also taken up.
Possibility of q Change.
The conference further considered
and prepared to meet the possibility
of a change in the situation. which
might put the constitutionalfsts in
northern Mexico on the offensive. The
possibility Of mobilizing the militia
| under the new volunteer army bill,
which was laid before the president
fo- his signature, was also deiiberated
upon. The organization of the volun-
teer forces under the new measure
will call for large amount of detailed
work and the department wishes to be
fully prepared to handle it.
Ways and means for future possible
operations were discussed at lentgh.
Various plans for movements OF an
sorts in Mexico have been submitted
to the chiefs of the department and
while no definite plan has been out
lined all have been given consideration.
The conference reviewed several pos
sible operations which might be made
necessary by a declaration Of war, or
by an attack by Huerta forces.

that more troops should be sent at

to Vera Cruz. That congress would
take some action as soon as the troops
arrive at Vera Cruz to reinforce the
naval forces, was predicted by several,
who declared they were refraining
from public expression Of view until

GERMANS RUSH IN OLD STYLE

LONDON, Dec Zl-lhe Austro-Geman advance m Gaca is reported be checked by dispatches from the Russians this morning. In the north the Russians clam that they have pushed the Germans further hck over the East Plssan frontier The German tactics in the march on Warsaw have some of the characteristics of their rush towards Calais and Dunkrk which the allies stemmed Thousands of Germans are said to be sacrificed and others are being hurled forward to fill the gaps in the ranks
 The same prodigay of life is being shown in every way that marked the German method of fighting in
 Flanders and the tremendous loss of life is sure to make it's effect felt before very long, The estimates of the German forces in the east vary from million to
 million and half The Russians ought easily to be able to outnumber this amount according to military experts and more results expected It seems still to be i'm possbe that the Germans can force their way through what must be practically the full power of the Russian army It is conceded that Russia is compelled to garrison strongly her vast territory and also to send great forces against the Turks but military experts believe that she o9ght to be able to keep at least two million men to meet the Germans and AuStTianS

SERVIAN ARMY IS
 SHORT OF OFFICERS
(By The Associated Preas.)


 NISH, Servia, Dec. 22.-There IS 8 shortage of officers in the Servian army, due not only to the severe losses sustained in the earlier battles of the campaign, but also to the losses of the two Balkan Wars. The gaps have proved a source of considerable em- barrassment to the army chiefs, and a number of youthful cadets from the Military College have now been given commission and sent to the front.
 Another matter of serious concern in army circles is the difficulty of caring properly for the wounded. who are being sent into the interior towns as rapidly as possible. Although there are a number of Red Cross units from foreign countries on the ground, there is still shortage of trained help, and a still more serious shortage of drugs and of surgical and hygienic appli- ances.
