Wonders What Japan Will Do.

What will Japan, the natural enemy OF

other powers do?''
The "Boersen Courier" sees in General
Huerta's refusal to salute 1.-The first ad-
mission that he does not feel sure of his
position and is now playing his last trump
earlier than was eXpected-namely, the
policy Of rallying all elements in Mexico
against the foreign aggressor."
The "Frankfurter Zetung" declares
lat President Huerta's demand is undis-
guised mockery of the United States. 1T
goes without saying" the newspaper
adds, that Washington cannot tolerate
this. Nobody can reproach President VIII

French government in connection with
President Wilson's policy toward Mexico
Is one of calm observation. according 10
the view expressed at the Foreign Once
to-day. A disposition exists here to re-
main detached from events in Mexico un-
Tess incidents should arise directly con-
corning France.
/ The Bourse, however, was depressed
not only as regards Mexicans. but most
other securities. apparently because any
international disturbance causes appre'
hension and doubt among French In
vestors.
The evening newspapers take'very little
note of the situation between Mexico ano

La Liberte.' however, says that what
ever happens in Mexico the lives and
property of Frenchmen there are exposed
10 greater danger than has hitherto beer
the case. The newspaper discusses lightly

aces Of the United States TO consolidate

of that struggle a small company OF
Americans and Texans. among whom

site of San Antonio, with desperate
valor against superior force OF Next

from February % to March 6, 1886, the
place was stormed by the Mexicans and
all the surviving defenders were massa-

came.

Sam Houston, confronted the Mexican

fight at a distance. But memories OF
Travis and Crockett and Bowie mace

There was just one fierce charge, TO the
cry of Remember the Alamo!" and all
was over.
The Texans lost thirty in killed and
wounded, while of the Mexicans )niy

u. s. MILITIA FAR
UNDER WAR QUOTA
Half Present Enrolment OF
111,672 Men Available
for the Field.
MANY WOULD FAIL
IN EXAMINATIONS
New York Division Said To Be
Short About 555 Officers
and Men.

Although the latest returns at the war
Department show an enrolment OF s,lSo
officers and ,s72 men in the national
guard Of the United States, It - estimated
that only about half would be available
after physical examinations had been
nade and men with families dependent
upon them had been eliminated. How
ever. none of the regiments Is up 10 war
strength.
In most cases at least half regiments
would have TO be filled up with recruits.
For example. an infantry regiment at war
strength consists of 81 officers and 1900
men.
Taking the largest regiment In the New
York National Guard as an example
which. according 10 the latest returns
shows a strength OF 900 officers and men
even supposng that every man would De
mustered into service. there would Dc
shortage OF $50 officers and men.
It IS estimated by officers who know
that each New York regiment would re-
oure an average Of about go recruits 10
bring IL to war strength. Not single
regiment has It's full quota of officers. In
New York city there are half dozen
regiments only about half differed.
Regiments Of national guard will be
mustered into service as federal troops
should a call for them be made. 1hey
would first be sent into camps and drilled
and hardened for at least three months
. offipa nj
lar army before they would be permitted
to leave the United States.
There are many unqualified officers In
GLIDING some absolutely unfit for COM
mand. even I'm New York, which Is con-
sidered the best national guard IN the
United States. Some Of these officers
would be weeded out, It is understood as
II would be considered little less than
murder TO send men TO the front under
an incompetent officer
1t IS known that Major General O'Ryan
would not stand for a moment for any IN
competent officer.
Under the present plans OF the War De-
partment, the national guard ana the
army IS divided among sixteen divlsions'
Of which the regular army constitutes
four and the national guard the balance
The only complete national guard Ill
vision is New York. The guard dlVlsiohs
for war are composed az follows:
Fifth Division-Maine. New Hampshire

For all practical purposes the state OF
war between Mexico and the United

fateful development. 1t is one or admira-
ton for the tolerance and self-control
with which President Wilson employed
all the resources OF diplomacy TO avert

deavors. has now overtaken him.
ut is one Of unstinted sympathy with
the American people in the difficult and
laborious undertaking which lies unes-
capably ahead OF them. and IT Is also
one OF absolute confidence not only In the
success of American arms by land and
sea but also IN the spirit OF practical
good will which American soldiers and
administrators will bring 10 bear upon
the redemption Of Mexico, as they have
already brought TO bear upon Cuba, Porto

"stranse Galley for Bryan"

The logical consequence of success
full war against Mexico" says The Daily
Telegraph" would be the assumption Of
the burden of government of that vast
country by the United States. That
would be a strange galley for Secretary
Bryan to be found in. So far as this
country and other countries having In
terests in Mexico are concerned. II is diff
cult TO see how anything but advantage
could come from curing by such means
the chronic anarchy which has brought a
land Of incalculable potential wealth 10
economic ruin and TO the verge OF pohu-
cal death.
But does the government at Washing
ton see through to the end Of its present
policy, and is the American nation pre-
pared to make enormous sacrifices and
undertake the Atlantean responsibilities
involved In carrying Intervention In
Mexico TO its inevitable conclusion?"
The Chronicle" says: "Of course, 1t
would yet be possible for hostilities to be
sverted II Huerta's government COL
lapsed, but OF that there is no sign. and
II is plain that DR.. Wilson will not now
desist until he has driven him from office.
We must all give the American people
our most sincere good wishes for success
In the thorny and thankless task which
they have undertaken.
The Presidents non-recognition OF
Huerta was bound TO lead TO this. and
we can only hope that the difficulties
which any foreign force might have been
expected 10 encounter in attempting TO
reduce a huge country TO order may
prove to have been exaggerated"
