Accepting as certainty that inter
ventiOn will come, attention turns TO
the precise magnitude OF the under
taking. II is not believed that great
American force would be necessary.
Some fighting would. os course. follow.
but the people who know Mexicans bcsI
believe that they whether II turned

For Pacific Intervention.
Many here believe that tho best pol

obviously be TO intervene pacifically.
preceding this action with pronunci3-
, mento stating that the sole purpose of
the United States is 10 restore order
| and police the country until an honest
election can be held TO name Huerta's
| successor.
! The Mexican soldiers. generally. DO
not want to fight. They want TO be
| undisturbcd by any real warfare. aud
are content to earn daily a few centa-
vos (about one-tenth of an American
cent? and buy pulquc, the national
drink, and frijoios.
Huerta's army is wofuily inefficient
and there is such "A lack Of system in
the care of supplies that incXcusablc
waste results. But, on the other hand
the rebels are in a similar position 50
that il is an even break on this feat
ure OF the situation.
\ great many OF the soldiers now
bearing arms received their weapons
ithout any explanation, and they
haven't the faintest idea on v hich side
they arc fighting. or why they arc doing
it. So they are considerably disturbed
when they arc caught by the enemy
and lined up for slaughter, with the cN-
planation that they arc opposed TO the
cause" something Of which they have
not the slightest knowledge.
The mention of Villas name is greet
Cd generally with a shuddcr Of fear

headed by the best Of his generals. to
combat the rebels in the north.
l The international aspect is impor-
7 family in Huerta's favor, as he regards
it. With the policy OF the United States
affected by the doubtful attitude Of
other nations having interests here
Huerta feels certain thar he will have
their support and will be able TO St
cure money IL he is hard pressed for It.
II is stated very generally here that
! Huerta sees President Wilson's view
| point. but believes that this is arrived
at through misunderstanding Of Mex
| leo and Mexicans, an intimate knovl-
edge Of which would clarity the atmos-
phere.
The financial situation. so far as for
eigners are concerned. is steadily grow
/ ing worse. The business OF some Amer
leans has virtually been ruined. As for
! Huerta. It is reported that he is almost
without money-but the same thing
uas said months ago.

Rv PHILIP II. PATCHIN.

Ncxico CITY. Fob. 1I.~-Amid the vary
ing rumors. the wild reports that swift
about here and the constant discus
sions one question is uppcrmosl ana
tho cause OF ceascless speculation'
What is the solution of the MeAicah
problem?
The opinion that ultimate interNen-
I tion constitutes the only solution IL
held so widely in Mexico City that II IS
startling. All classes and nationa lities
of residents here believe this, psrtlcu-
larIy the foreigners, who declare tlaI
tbc United States must step in ineYita-
tJv Thov believe il is necessary and
that. 10 matter what line of reasoning
is pursued by Washington in an effort
to discover a method Of avoiding inter
vontion. the United States authorities
will find ct the other end or that nhe
the fact that Intervention must come.
If Huerta succeeds in holding on 10

sections OF the country now in the
hands Of tho rebels.
! With the European powers impatient
w insisting on action by the United
/ States that will eliminate Huerta, some
move must be made, and the only pos
, sibilitics making it unnecessary for
Washington to go after Huerta are as
sassinatlon and sudden powerful VIC
tory for the rebels.
Rebel Triumph Unlikely.
A rebel triumph is apparently un-
likely. while the staying Of Huerta is
not. But should either Of these ever 8
come TO pass 1t would be necessary for
the United States TO jump in, for cha
otic conditions would result and the
lives and property of foreigners would
| he endangered.
When the time will arrive when
Washington must take action is mat
ter Of much specula ton. An American
OF good standing who has been living
here for several years wagered 900
pesos $500 at the American Club here
to-day that uuerta would still be Pres
ident on January /. 1915. This opinion
is shared by many others, while still
others think that. in view OF President
| Wilson'S insistence on Huerta's elm
ination. IT is impossible that the pres
net situation can drift so long, as 1t is
universally admitted that II Wilson IN
| sists Huerta cannot remain.
There is a great deal os speculation
as 10 the probability Ot Huerta making
militant stand, Huerta being fully
| aware of the odds against him.
Apparently Huerta possesses sum
cient funds 10 keep going for a con-
siderable time. Where he gets the
money is much of a mystery. He seems
/ n derive small sums from several
sources. particularly from the owners
of large haciendas. and although these
/ contributions are in most cases very
small they mount up greatly in the
aggregate.
While a rebel victory is extremely
;mprobable, there is not the slightest
confidence here in the ability OF the
rebels 10 control the situation and
establish a government, even should
thev be successful in overthrowlng the
Federals. so that the United States
then would find no way out of the sit
! ,,a,io, hut 70 intervene.
