The letter in part reads: - Situation Serious. “While 1 am not afraid nor alarm- ed over llfi'e gl}mtion in Mexico yet the sitnatfon is serions, especially with such‘%rmor excuse of a presi- dent, It may be that no war with Mexico will' come now but men who have lived.agross the border and who are acquaigted with Mexican charac- ter all agred that intervention must come and when it comes it will mean war. 5 Wait Means Loss, “The longer intervention is post- poned, the more men we will lose. ‘We have only p few thousand sol- diers in Mexico, 120 to 150 miles south of“Colambus, in a mountain- ous country with a great stretch of desert between them and their base. “Villa hgs'more followers and sym- pathizers ‘than the ‘wise ones. in Washington’ fmagine and even the soldiers of Carranza hate the heart of a ‘gringo.’ Shonld Villa get some of our men eut off it is more than likely that the Carranza followers would join him in a general massacre of the American troops.

The general opinion here and at. El Paso is that sooner or later we will have all of Mexico to fight and whip.” BEMIDJT NAVAL.

The experiment was tried cut on & small scale last year, when detach- ments from Wisconsin and Missouri were allowed to get their training in salt air instead of cruising on the Great Lakes or the Mississippi river.
