MORE MEN FOR
MARINE CORPS
GENERAL BARNETT SAYS THAT
THE FORCE SHOULD BE IN
CREASED BY 1900.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.--An adj
ditional 1900 officers and men are
needed by the marine corps in the
opinion of Major General George Bar
nett. cOmmandant, as expressed in his
annual report made public tonight.
Since the policy of the navy general
board has been to keep the corps att
OF the navy. however. General Barnett
recommends the addition at present OF
only 1900 men, sixty officers. Secre1
tary Daniels has asked congress for
this enlargement.
Every year since the Spanish war,
order i'll some foreign country, and to
provide the mobile forces for this
work. Ship detachments and those
on guard duty often have been drawn
ashore.
Based on the experience gained
| from many expeditions" General Bar
rett says, Il am strongly of the opin
| ion that Il mobile force of not less than
$500 men should be maintained on
| this coast and one of not less than
! 200 men on the west coast. These
| forces would also be in readiness al
all times for service as part of the
garrison of advance bases, acting as
supporters to the fixed defense force
by protecting the base from hostile
landing parties. This duty is of very
great Importance as fortified harbors
are very vulnerable to this form OF
attack. approximately 5000 addition
al men are needed &c" this purpose"
| The report shows that General Bar
nett recommended two brigadier gen
erals for the crops and that secretary
| Daniels asks for only one in his recon-
mendations to congress. The secretary
| also reduced the number of majors
asked for, from nine to six.
The report shows that 40 per cent OF
the total enlisted strength of the corps
have qualified as marksmen in rifle
practice. The full strength of the
corps on SEPTEMBER 30, last, was 344 of
flaers and 1919 men, divided about
equally between shore and sea duty.

CRUISER DIES MONIES WILL BE SENT TO MEXICO TO OPEN
 PORT.
WILL PREVENT INTERFERENCE
Foreign Diplomats See in This Latest Move on the Part of the United States a Change From Passive Ob. serVation to Protection of Interests.

Washington. March 15.-President Wilson has determined that all the rival factions in Mexico shall be com. pelled, if necessary, not only to re. spect the lives and property of for. eigners, but to insure freedom of commercial communication between the United States and its southern neighbor.
 This policy enunciated in the last two notes sent to General Carranza concerning the situation in Mexico City, was further developed by the dispatch of a communication inform. Ing the Mexican chief that unless the gunboat Zaragoza was recalled from its attempted blockade of the port of Progreso Che president of the United States would be cons trained to issue instructions to the commander of the armored cruiser Des Moines to pre- vent any erterence" with American ships going to or from the. port.
 The purpose of this note apparently was achieved before it reached Vera Cruz, for the navy department re. ceiYed word today that the ZaraPoza had put back to Vera Cruz Ion ac- count of the stress of weather" The opinion Of officials is that there will be no further attempt to blockade.
 The American note was couched in terms as emphatic as the warning concerning conditions in Mexico City relieved by the evacuation of Obre. gon It set forth that if the Ameri- can cruiser found it necessary to take steps to prevent interference with American ships such policy should not be interpreted as having any re, lation to internal affairs in Mexico % but "in the interest of peace and amity' between the two countries
 Diplomatists who by instruction of their governments have been discuss ing Mexican affairs with the Wash. ington government interpret the latest developments as a change from policy of passive observation to one of energetic insistence on the protec- tion of foreign interests
 With the situation at Progreso ap. parently clearing up, disposng of the threatened cutting off of the sisal hemp supply needed for harvesting the American grain crop, the Wash ington government tonight was con. fronted with a troublesome condition of affairs at Manzanillo.
 The British consul there has ap. peaed through the British embassy here for a British man-ofwar. He says the German consul joins him in the request, as the condition of for elgners is ''unbearable" and no Ame1. can men-of-war are nearby. The American cruiser Cleveland has now arrived at Manzanilo and it is be.
