MEXICAN TROUBLES
SUBJECT TO DEBATE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-MexicAn
troubles were the subject OF another
sharp debate today IN the senate.
Senator Lodge. ranking Republican
member OF the foreign relations com
mittee. made q speech criticizing the
administrator attitude and declsr-
ing that Y was all but too late for the
American government 10 adopt any
policy toward Mexico other than mil
itary occupation. This drew a Wig
orous reply from Senator Stone.
chairman OF the committee. who
branded the Massachusetts senator's
attack as a purely partisan outburst
Senator Borsh Joined "a the discus
sion and IL was Indicated that there
would be = general airing OF views On
the Mexican situation in the near
future
Senator Lodge reviewed the whole
history OF the disturbance in Mexico
from the inception OF the Madero
revolution 10 the present strife be
tween villa and Carranza factions
and declared anarchy existed now
He insisted that the policy OF Presi-
dent Wilson against Huerta had dir.
ected the course OF the administration
toward the southern republic and thnt
the failure OF the President TO mention
Mexico IN his last annual message u
congress had left IL to be presumed
that he had no policy to advance now
that Huerta was ousted and revolt
and tumult reigned across the border.
Senator Stone took exception TO
Mr.. Lodges statement that Il was
impossible to expect the organization
OF an orderly government in Mexico.
and that anything looking to that
end was an impossible dream. He
sharply arrsigned the Massachusetts,
senator for precipitating the discus
sion OF the foreign relations OF the
United States at this time vhen every
possible effort was oeing made TO
keep the nation AT peace while war
ragged In many parts of the world.
Senator Lodge had &c rporated in
his remarks recent article BY
former President Roosevelt; attacking
the administrations Mexican policy
and making mention OF the religious
persecution alleged TO be in progress
in Mexico. Senator Stone heatedly
referred 20 thearticle as a -emark.
able screed." In which the former
President sought to inject religious
passions into our international rela.
tions."

was his opinion that the best service
which the war office could render
would be TO concentrate its efforts on
the equipment OF men who have been
sufficiently trained and to send them
TO the front with as little delay as
possible.
AS TO the number of men who would
be wanted for the foreign service and
home defense. Lord Curzon said ne
imagined that the war secretary would
require considerable more than 2,OOO,-
600 and possibly nearer 1900, 900.
