According to plans of army officials,
there would be two main troop move

The remaining force of from $4,000
to 10000 would be led in a drive vest
ward and northward to crush any re-
sistance between it and south coming
troops from the northern border.
Off1cers hesitated about expressing
an idea Of the length of time it might
take to clean up Mexico. Some said Il
year; others believed it might take
from three to five years.
When the trouble in Mexico first
started about six years ago. the Amer
lean general staff, acting on the belief
that Intervention might eventually be
necessary, sent army engineers and
secret agents all through Mexico, COM
pilip- data and making war maps of
the country through which American
armies most likely would have to pass.

department is well supplied with in
formation about Mexico and an mead
