Washington, April Prcpara-
tions are being made to send into
| Mexico the army division now en-
camped on the Southern Texas from
tier, while virtually all public at
tentiou is centered on the movement
of the battle ships which military
and naval men know in this case can
amount to little more than a demon
stration in force.
If it shall become necessary at
tually to invade with prospects Of
being met by determined opposition.
the main offensive action must be
taken by the army The division
now in Texas win strike south.
For three days the ranking army
officers in Washington. have been
planning for that which they fear
is to come. They have said from
the start that il the Mexicans were
obstinate and refused to salute the
American colors. nothing could de-
lay the march of the troops south
ward and the landing of the ma
rines at Tampico.
Marines Insufficient.
The marine force. even backed by
as many bluejackets as can be
spared from the ships, is not ex-
pected to be strong enough If there
is a coalition of Mexican forces. to
do more than hold certain sections
of the invaded country until the
army makes its way or fights its
way through from the north.
1t has been said that the army Of
ficers desire war, because it is their
trade. They are ready to go. but they
are as averse to Intervention, IL 1t
can be prevented without dishonor.

selves, the army is prepared for q
campaign in Mexico. There seems
to be little doubt in the minds Of
the officials that invasion once be-
sgun, the eonstitutionalists leaders
will join forces with their political
antagonists, but none the less blood
brethren, to resist the invader. The
army is ready to do its duty in any
event, but 1t is no more anxious for
war than is any organization of
civilians in the whole of Yankee
land.
