WASHINGTON, March 31. (Special.)
The latest phase of the Mexican In
tervention scare involves a report that
Secretary of War Stimson Is calling the
Adjutant - Generals of the different
states to Washington in groups for the
purpose of planning the part the Na
tional Guard is to play In case it la
necessary to send troops across the
border.
"All bosh," was the comment of the
War Secretary tonight regarding this
report, although It was admitted that
higher officials of the National Guard
in various states are visiting Washing
ton on "other matters." .The other mat
ters, as told by the War Department,
have to do mostly with the pending;
militia pay bill.
Anxiety Cannot Be Concealed.
Major-General Young, of Illinois, it
was said in a report published today. Is
on his way here for a conference with
Secretary Stimson tomorrow. The Sec
retary said that if General Young were
coming, he had no knowledge of it, but
if it is so, the General probably Is bent
on the same mission referred to in con
nection with other National Guardsmen.
In spite of denials from Governnn-nt
sources, and the natural desire to cau.-e
as little public alarm as possible, the
fact that the Administration has re
ceived fresh cause for anxiety over the
Mexican situation cannot be concealed.
The plainest statement of the truth
that can be made Is that while no posi
tive decision has been reached, the ulti
mate necessity of intervention is great
ly feared.
Pear of Mnsnnere Deters.
The gravest fear In this connection
that which makes all, from the Presi
dent down, seek to convince themselves
that drastic action may be avoided is
the belief bordering on the certainty
that Mexican wrath would be concen
trated on all Americans within reach
tho minute the first step suggesting in
tervention Is taken.
Getting Americans in Mexico out of
that country without simultaneously
conveying a warning of subsequent in
tervention Is one of the greatest prob
lems confronting the Washington of
ficials. It may be said without sus
picion of sensationalism that the War
Department is considering plans in full
detail respecting operations in case
intervention is demanded. It is part
of the business of the general staff
and the War College to make com
plete plans for any remote emergency
that may arise. Once in a hundred
times, perhaps, it becomes necessary
to execute plans thoroughly worked
out in advance.
Croat Army Wo-,,ld Be Needed.
It has been estimated than an army
of 200.000 men would be required at
the outset in case of Intervention in
Mexico. The proposition is far differ
ent than it would be if Cuba were the
seat of trouble, because of 'the vast-
ness of the country. Mexico physically,
as one expert describes the situation,
"is like a great jelly fish." that could
suffer amputation in several places
without any impression on its general
activity.
The comparison may seen a trifle
awkward, but the meaning Is plain
that if would take a tremendous
amount of time and effort to accom
plish the ultimate purpose.
Until within a day or so the Admin
istration's hopes that the revolt In
Mexico was under control were high.
The new alarm Is the result of recent
rebel victories, which to many seem
to make the situation seem worse than
ever.
