Mexico OVERRIDDEN
BY idle, SOLDIERS
Problem of Republic Is to Put Men
to Work.

New York, Aug. 2s.-How to get her
large army out-of uniform and back
into productive employment after
years of happy buccaneering is one of
Mexicos most serious problems.
This was the statement here Of
Henry Bruere, financial expert and
formerly chamberlain of this city, who
has been assisting Carranza's govern
ment in arranging a plan for straight
ening out the almost hopeless finan-
cial tangle OF his unruly republic.
"Carranza has managed TO survive
great many shocks" said Mr..
Bruere. "and. although he has out
lived a long period of precarious ex-
istence, he has a tremendous problem
in attempting to return a lot Of both
crsome soldicry to more obscure and
useful occupations.
For 1917-191S military expenditure
alone the cost is estimated at 127 ,0OO,-
600 pesos. The total expenditure of
the government in 1912-1913-the year
of Madero's Observation-Disclosures no.
100000 pesos. Nobody knows where
this money is to come from.
"Oil and mining enterprises and the
Mexican people-long suffering, re-
markably recuperative people that
they are-are producing a larger rev.
enue for the government than il has
ever had before in the history Of the

abused qualities. You take a real
good man or woman who is self
