Army officers who have been on the
border are OF the opinion that the recent
outrages IN Mexico have been perpc-
trated by villa to force intervention and
rehabiltate himself as the military
leader of the country In the outburst Of
patriotic fervor that such action would
evoke.
Carranza has never been the type of
fighting man that appeals to the Latin
American temperament. Other Generals
have fought his battles against villa,
and II is not unreasonable to suppose
that old scores would he forgotten and
that villa the bandit would be sue
ceeded by villa the General as the figure
around whom the patriotism Of Mexico
would rally to fight foreign aggressor
Even assuming that carranza would
consent to Intervention by the United
States for the purpose OF running down
villa and clearing the country OF ir-
responsible bands of outlaws, II is prob
able that this country would find it
necessary not only TO police the terri
tory In the north In which they now
operate but eventually To pursue them
southward beyond Mexico to the haunts
OF the Zapatistas,
Three plans for intervention have been
under consideration by the military ex-
perts OF the General Staff The first

Mexico towns along the border OF the

that have arisen from time to time in

II was estimated by officers OF the

OF President Taft that the paciiication

was probably an extreme estimate.
But army officers to-day who have

accomplished with less than 200, ,O0V men
and possibly many more. 1t is csti-
mated hat 200. .00O AT least would he re-
qured TO control the entire country.
How many more than that would be
necessary would depend on the attitude
of the MexiCans, whether they would
accept the situation and confess defeat
or prolong the fighting indefinitely.
In arriving at these figures the mill
tary experts of course consider any con-
tingency and assume that IL would b.

there are various elements to he consid-

adapted themselves to the rigors Of the

Chicago, Jan. 1O.-Higher cable quo

and Duluth receipts gave a lift today to
the wheat market. The final abandon
ment Of the attempt to force the OAR

Foreign buying Of futures made the
corn market strong. The May delivery
went to the highest price on the 1915

the market rose a little further begin

Corn eased of when wheat had a set
back. The close was steady at h@A to

Commission houses were active IN

market seemed to be governed by corn.
Provisions showed strength. The i'm
mense number of hogs arriving here

an offset.
