A LESSON.


~ UR miniature standing army was DOT ready to
~ meet even such a problem as northern Mexico
presented.
The national guard was called upon. But IT will take
months to put the guard in shape for service In Mexico.
It Is short Of men who can finally be accepted. and nee.
essay equipment
AilIthis despite the fact that the Mexican problem has
been with US for several years and has been particularly
p~estiterous since the Villa raid.
Our few s%aeroplanes have proved deficient. We have
no machine guns of the sort used in Europe. We need
horses, mules, auto trucks, motor cycles-everything.
It's possible that only war itself will wake us.
Against an invasion by a first class power our army
would be swept away like a thread in a cyclone.
otcourse, the answer TO this from our friends the pac.
insts Is that an army proyokes war; a man carrying a
gun wants to use #, etc. All of which reminds US that
umbrellas do not provoke rain. nor fire extinguishers a
tplaze-but still they are handy things to have around.
We could not get a quarter Of a million trained men
Into the field for active service in less than ninc months
We haven't officers enough to command such a force.
Watch the Mexican situation for IN Illustration OF how
unprepared we really would be In case Of war With a
frss class power.
