CARRANZA FEARS
british INVASION
Expects Protection of Tam
pico Oil Which Supplies
English Fleet
GETS WARNING
ABOUT U.BOATS

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-British In
Prevention in Mexico is feared by the
Mexican Government. it is learned in
Administration quarters. General
Carranza has been advised that there
is danger that Great Britain may land
troops at TampicO 10 guard the oil
properties there from possible attack
by revolutiOnists. The TampicO oil
fields constitute the chief source Of
fuel for the British feet.
lt was learned also that the Car
rama Government is expecting a u
boat campaign off Tampico with the
object of blockading the oil traffic
from that port. That the British
Government also is apprehensive OF
this is indicated by a request that the
State Department warn Carranza and
ask him to protect MexicO's neutrality.
Administration officials have no in
formation to confirm. General Car
ranzas fear that Great Britain plans
to land troops at Tampico II is be-
lieved. moreover. that the British
Government would not do this with
out consulting Washington. If, how
ever, the fuel supply of the British
fleet is actually in danger the British
Government might it is admitted. be
forced to disregard the Monroe Doc
trine
The Mexican rebels are not operat-
ing in the vicinity of TampicO at pres
ent, it is understood. though since the
war began there have been persistent
reports of a German intrigue with the
bandits to attack Tampico. It is be-
lieved possible that General Carranza
has definite information concerning
such a plot and that, therefore, he
fears British interference with the
purpose of preventing it.
MeXico's attitude toward the Brit
ish warning against a submarine
was clearly set forth in
note from Candida Aguilar. Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, to the British
Foreign Office yesterday. Senior Agui-
lars communication was sarcastic. He
objected, first of all, to the fact that
Great Britain had made its represen-
tations through the State Department
here instead of directly to Mexico
City. He said further that the Next
can Government could be depended
upon to look out for its own neutral
ity. and that If Great Britain had any
concern in the matter Of the U-boats
the best way to handle the subject was
to prevent the submarines from leav-
ing their bases"

Problem Of Feeding an Army

j., refused to recognize the army doctor
as gentleman, or let him mess at
their table. In fact, he ranked as a
"non-com," and messed with stewards
and the regimental farrier, or wet"
Even to this day the line officers
affect to look down upon the medical
officer and regard his rank as an up
start imitation of their own.
Immense enthusiasm and industry
and intelligent study are devoted by
army officers to questions of guns and
side arms and ammunition and equip
ment and uniform and, of late years,
even to shoes and underwear, but
| problems OF the ration and Of the
commissariati department excite only
languid and perfunctory interest in
comparison. Individual officers not
infrequently devote good deal OF
time and thoughtful attention to the
proper feeding Of their men, both in
garrison and in the field, but they are
the exception rather than the rule.
Fortunately, most Of the old abuses
and scandals have been wiped out.
TIE army ration is nutritious, whole
some, liberal to fault, and fairly
well-balanced, and an adequate num-
Der of tons of the raw materials for
three square meals day are usually
i delivered and dumped somewhere
within foraging distance of regi-
ment with fair regularity. But the
thing lacks kick and elasticity and
unified control; there is apt to be
food, but nothing to cook it with,
meat without potatoes; bread without
butter; coffee without milk or sugar.
and when a ration has once been
fixed and agreed upon by a board no
power on earth can modify it or
change it in the slightest degree, or
adapt it to even the most radically
different of circumstances.
For instance, there is no modified
ration for use in hot weather or upon
tropical service; there is practically
one iron-clad standard. Interchangeable
ration for all sorts and conditions of
activity OF men, at home in barracks,
on the march, in troop trains or on
transports, or in the field, except such
as come from difficulties of Transport
tation. The same number Of pounds
and ounces of standard foods per man
are issued, and what he can't eat,
he can either trade for something
more suitable, or waste it. g.-,
No special ration, for instance, is
even provided for soldiers sick in the.
Hospital. I The doctor in charge
simply draws his four pounds of
standard working food per day for
each patient and then sells or ex-
changes it for milk, fruit, ice and such
other invalid foods as they need and
can really digest.
What ought to be done is, that the
whole problem of food supply and
cooking and serving should be ele
waited to the rank of special de-
partment or division under the con-
troll Of a board or commission COM
posed of doctors and food experts
and line officers and public-spirited
business men, who would volunteer
for the service without pay. The
movement in this direction, which was
/ inflated and is being promoted by the
Merchants Association Of New York.
and which has already won the APP
proval Of army authorities and the
consent of the War department, is
emphatically a step in the right direc-
ton and a public service Of immense
value and importance.
