FUTURE MILITARY
 POLICY IF J. $. IN

Speedy Passage of Army Re-
 organization Bill Is Prob
 able Say Experts Action Would Prevent Demorali- zation of Present System

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The ques- ton of a permanent policy probably will be forced before the present session of congress by Secretary Bakers order ordering the army to 233,000 officers and men by September 30th. Military experts here believe only speedy passage of the army reorgani- zation bill will prevent demoraliZation of the military establishment The recent army bill makes mandatory the continuance of the four new staff corps, chemical warfare, motor tran sport, tank and air service-none of which was provided for in the national defense act. Officers and men must be drawn from the line and from the regular staff personnel to provide the necessary overhead for these branches.
 "A return to the status of 190S,' was the prediction of one officer concern ing the defects. In that year com panies could muster only S5 men and regiments frequently were under one major and one captain.
 The general staff already is at work on some program which will come within authorized expenditures and yet permit the retention of a skeleton establishment which may be expanded for war"
 Primary troop requirements which must he met include:
 Garrisons for the Philippines Hawaiian and Panama canal conserv- atively figured at 50,000 men; a guard for the southern border, now main- tained at 30,000; a force of S0,000 on the Rhine and for the time being at least 5000 men for Siberia. These total 96,000 officers and men and do not take into consideration the hundreds of small garrisons needed al hone army posts. which is estimated Iaf z6e00 with further addition foa Etheg coast 7efenses War department plans approved as late as March pro vide 5S,e00 officers and men for the coast defenses.

Official Carranza Organ Suggests Purchase" ot Papers to Float Propagan. da in This Country-Ad vantage Could Be Taken of Political Division
Republican A. P. Leased Nirel

WASHINGTON, July ~Reporteo attempts by the Mexican government to purchase the support of American newspapers for spreading Mexican propaganda, in connection with recent defense of Mexican policy toward American oil operators, issued by Gen eral Candido Aguilar, son -in-law of President Carranza, have been called to the attention of the state depart ment. The situation is being watched by officials here. The Monterey, Mex ico organ of the Carranza administra tion, first to call public attention to it, said in duscussing the advisability of d propaganda program ill the United States:
 Our chancellory should know all the details of this grave question, should sound all opinions and direct an active press campaign in the United States; this last is of the most i'm portance. No one thousand or one hundred thousand, but million pesos, if it is necessary, should be spent in purchasing Yankee newspapers (there are those who will not refuse the busi- ness) so that they will defend us and in substituting writers of some prestige
 
 which our own chancellory will give them. It is necessary to prepare in the very bosom of the United States a great part of public opinion in our favor, taking advantage in order to do this of the political divisions be- tween democrats and republicans"
 General Aguilar, just before he sailed from Europe said that the only order issued has been that the Mexican law be enforced"
 It was pointed out here that General Aguilar must have referred to Article 27 of the Mexican constitution and the decrees of President Carranza to make effective that law. In official circles it was said this law declared:
 Tn the nation is vested legal owner ship of petroleum" and only Mexicans by birth or naturalization have the right to acquire ownership in lands or to obtain franchises to develop mineral fuels in the republic of Mexico.'
