Washington,

Washington, June 17-An army
staff officer. who cannot permit the
use of his name, made the following
staten ent:
THE administration is evading for
a Willie general military intervention
in Mexico because the army is not
prepared to do Intervention duty 1t
is the conviction of military and dip
lor'atie officers that nothing except
American soldiers can restore order in
that country
I'VE had three years of actual me-
cessity for intervention. but we are not
ready. At best. we have about 40,-
900 men, We will get a few more on
the first of the month, but they will
be raw. Against this force there
would be pitted at least an equal num-
Der of Mexicans.
The Mexicans. however, would be
all veterans; they could choose their
own ground and defy our troops for
months while we were ordering men
to the border and seasoning the ma
tional guard. Even then we should
have to wait for at least 100, 900 vol
unteers.
.The fault of the government is
that it has not utilized the past three
years in preparing an army that might
act at once when intervention, which
is admitted to be a necessity, becomes
fact"
