READY TOSEND THREE
ARMIES INTO MEXICO
One at Vera Cruz, Second at
TampicO and Third
at Ell PasO.

WASHINGTON, April 24.--If the neces-
sity OF a general military movement
against Mexico as whole should arise
the War Department is ready 20 throw
three armies into the field
The movement OF the first army has al
ready been Initiated with the landing OF
bluejackets and marines at Vera Cruz,
where they form the base for the Fifth
Brigade Of infantry and Ave batteries oi
field artillery under Brig. Gen. Frederick
Funston, part Of which Is now on trans
ports at sea and the remainder OF which
will soon embark at Galveston.
There Is fear in army circles that In
the event of Huerta issuing a declaration
OF war an attack will be made by the
troops said to be assembling under Gen
MASS, which are to be reinforced by
troops under Gen Banquet. whose pur-
pose will be either to attack the American
force at Vera Cruz or to attack II as soon
az the march on Mexico city is begun.
Army men also express the belief that
all three OF the American armies OF in
yasion will see severe service before the
Huerta Government and its possible allied
| interests are subdued
The three lines Of attack on Mexico are
| as follows:
The first. already initiated and soon
to be accelerated by the Funston
army--a division evcntually-from
Vera Cruz toward Mexico city.
The second will be the army which
moves upon Tampico. This Ia a most
dangerous place. at which 1t has been
persistently rumored for two days

night and lights went out early. The job
