TO Be SHORT, But COSTLY

Is conceivable that double the num-
Der mentioned may be required. The
campaign In the north can probable
be carried on with 10000 to $4,000

War to be Short.
Some hard fighting is expected IL
there is uniting of all Mexican ele-
ments against Americans. But the
intention is that 1t shall not last long.
Then, the country is to be divided into
districts, garrisons distributed, and
the constructive work of restoring or
der to be undertaken. In this pro-
cess, there will be much hard work.
Much fighting of guerrilla sort will
be required, and many more troops
needed than for the actual conquest
of the Mexican armies.
The figures of the army men will.
no doubt, be secuted by some as too
large. But it may be recalled that
General Sherman, at the outbreak of
the Civil war, got himself called lun-
attic for estimating that 1t would take
100000 men to subdue the Confeder-
acy. He was laughed at on every
hand.
The Mexican proposition. from
military standpoint, will be unlike
anything this government has ever at
tempted In a general way, Cuba and
the Philippines required much We
same process which will be requA Il
in Mexico. But the scope OF territory
in Mexico is vast, and when 1t comes
to garrisoning and tranquillizing an
empire it is no child's play. The army
men say it will be case of much
work, heartbreaking work, and little
glory. Still, they would like to try
their hand at it.

y WASHINGTON, April 22-The ex-
pense involved in a Mexican campaign
will be enormous, according to war
department experts. Few civilians
have the slightest conception what the
officers of the general staff have done
in the way of figuring out the things
to be done in case of campaigning in
Mexico. But some additional details
as to how far the general staff has
gone got out today.
The army operations in case of arm
ed Intervention, will consist of two
almost distinct parts. These will be,
first, the actual campaigning, involv-
ing the capture of Mexico City and
taking possession of the country, and,
second, the garrisoning of the country
and the restoration of order to the end
that the Mexican people may be en-
abled to establish stable govern
ment. Unless this country should de-
eide to annex Mexico, or a part of it,
it will be something like the process
in Cuba, though on larger scale.
Big Garrisons Needed.
Army officers say garrisons of con-
siderable size will have to be estab-
lished in every city of importance.
The forces in each center will have
to be big enough to ovcrawe either
bandits or disaffected parts of the
population in their vicinity. This will
require many men.

the outset, unless there is simply a
blockade or a seizure of ports temper.

WILSON DOES RIGHT
Gilbert Parker Says World
Approves.

Ey Sir Gilbert Parker (the noted
novelist and one Of the best informed
men in the British Pariiment).
LONDON, April 22.-The initial
provocation offered by General HUI
Gratis officers to the United States
was so premeditated and calculated
that any self-respecting nation would
be compelled to demand satisfaction.
This is not alone an American ques-
ton. 1t is a world question, though
the world must settle it. The offense
offered to the United States might
easily have been offered to an Euro
pean nation in different form, and the
situation thus created would have
been infinitely more difficult of ad-
justment and settlement than this
one.
The United States was bound to
exact from Huerta an apology ade-
quate to the offense. The United
States has behaved in the whole
business with exemplary patience,
but it has done at last what it has
always done when driven too far. 1t
ion.
One thing is certain. The whole
Anglo-Saxon world will approve the
course taken by President Wilson in
enforcing his and the nations proper
demand. The national honor of the
United States necesitated full and
adequate apology. The simplest form
is sautins the flag that has been in
suited.
1t means that the United States
must undertake the subjugation Of
Mexico in order to secure law, order,
pacification and constitutional free
dom for it's people. The country will
be engaged upon vast enterprise
that the end of which no man can
see.

four American marines were killed and

1t was realized that history was be-
ing made. Not since the stirring days
preceding the war with Spain sixteen
years ago, has the upper house of con-
gress been SO aroused. Senators re-
allied that the news from Vera Cruz
meant that, call it what one may, in

had reached into the republic south
of the Rio Grande. How long it would

Situation Serious.
Military experts here expressed the
opinion in private, none venturlng to
speak for publication, in the excite
ment of the moment, that the United
States now would be forced to move
against Mexico City with all the
naval power.
No attempt is made to conceal the
serious consequences that are likely
to follow from the developments at
Vera Cruz.
On one point there was general
agreement-that it means the expendi-
ture of millions of dollars and the
risking of thousands of lives.

GAME FOR SUNDAY
STILL UNDECIDED

With the opening game but few
days away, no definite date has been
secured for next Sundays game, al
though negotiations are being carried
on with a number of fast teams. OF
the possibilities, Bay City, Saginaw
and Middleborough seem the most
likely to be booked here for that day.
There will be game. This is GER
tainty. The management of the Rich
mond nine will stage game here
that day if they have to play the Sen
ators This is however unlikely as it
is thought that either one of the three
possibilities or some other fast bush
team can be booked for that day.

MEN BUY ELECTR|CS
FOR THEIR OWN:USE
Wife's Closed Car Appeals to
Head of Family Who Be-
comes Interested.

1t may come as a surprise to many
people to hear that men are becoming
greater buyers of electric cars than
women. The trend became noticeable
about a year ago. and at present is so
pronounced that it occasions comment.
Men have rather looked down upon
the purchase of electrics for them
selves" remarked q well-posted motor
car dealer of this city. because their
general utility has not appealed to them
The greatest objection most men held
to electrics was that they were closed
cars and did not permit a man to get
in the open. Men regarded them as
something to admire, something esthet-
ic, rather than serviceable, and some
thing to carry the women folks to their
teas and on shopping tours.
The change in mans point of view
came about in an interesting fashion
and is largely a matter OF education.
Doctors and other professional men
who had to be out in all kinds of
weather during the spring and winter
placed coupe bodies on their cars. They
never had TO get out and put up the
top in a pouring rain. and It mattered
not the kind OF a day. the occupant
was protected from the cold and from
elements. So. utilitarian in the winter,
the automobile owner found the coupe
top did not handicap him in the sum-
mer. and II has retained its popularity.
Once cognizant OF the value of the
closed top the automobile owner began
to view his wife's electric car with re-
spect, with the result that men are
becoming good buyers of electrics.

clincher tires, chafed fabric often comes
through bent or rusty rim fanges.
Rust should be kept from rim hooks
where clincher tires are used and bent
rims should be Strengthened as soon as
possible.
Rim f1anges are often bent by sharp
blows. The bent part forms sharp
projection that soon digs into the tire.
Sometimes metal rims become rusty and
rough. Rust eats into rubber. Mois-
ture then penetrates the fabric and
tires are destroyed
Tire experts recommend that motor
lists have their tires taken OF and the
rims examined at regular intervals.
Where rust is found the use of sand
paper and tale or graphite often helps.
Rim paint also Is recommended.
