The one incalculable factor is the question a to whether Villa is wounded or not. The Mexican commanders are em- | phatic in their assertions that the | bandit chief is seriously disabled, but | their belief is not shs ed by the Am- crican commanders, That Villa should spread a report to the effect he had been shot is so characteristic a man- euver that it is received with con- siderable reservation. Alarmists Are Quiet, The awanists on the border have remarkably quiet during the last few days. While no one disputes the fact that the international situa- | tion is a very delicate one with grave | possibilities hinging on a misstep by | either side, the control which Carran- shown he possesses over his wnt and the calm with which the Mexican people have treated the crossing of the border by American troops has brought about a decided feeling of optimism. The wild stories of the massing of Mexican troops in proximity to the border, among the most popular yarns with the alarm have apparently died a natural death. The favorite number of troops so massed was 20,- 000, although enthusiasts were willing to go as high 40,000. As the most authentic information places the num- ber of troops that the de facto govern- ment has in all Mexico between 50,000 and 60,000, it was difficult for the “ru- |'moristas” to explain where the co- horts supposed to be in northern Chi- huahua and Sono came from. matter of fact, according to the most reliable date obtainable ‘here, Gen. Calles has between 4,000 and 6,000 men in Sonora, with whom he is plan- .ning-operations against the Yaqui In- dians. been Reports Exaggerated, . Ttis more difficult to obtain depend- ‘able information regarding northern Chihuahua, but the best informed Am- ericans here do not believe that there are more than 2,000 or 3,000 troops in that district. In this connection jt is pointed out that in spite of all the troubles that have beset Mexico in the last five yea the vast majority of the population have remained quiescent.

Protection of Large Centers, Chairman Sherley presented the fol lowing explanation of the purpos seacoast defenses in his report: ‘It is the popular belief tl fortifications are designed to all the shores of continental United States and the insular possessions from invasion by a hostile fores and that they are adequate only to the extent that they would prevent such invasion No greater misconception of their function could be had. The author of this report is unaware of any responsible military 1thority ever suggesting such a purp Cor- tainly the cost of such numerous for- titications to accomplish such a pur- pose would be bevond the purse of even this the richest of all nations. “But though this is known by all students of the subject, criticism is continuously aimed at our system of fortifications because of the absurd assumption that they should accom- plish the impossible; whilo many, properly believing that our fortifi tions are excellent but with the same mistaken view as to their purpose, fail { to appreciate the need for other means of defense. “The chief and real purposes o be served by our fortifications are to oro- tect from bombardment large cenfers of population where the damage that | other inflicted could be thought from a point of admissible: to tion establishments of wmilitary such navy vards, coaling os of it our vrotect se. - wise he 10t military view protect from desiru as stations, arsenals, etc.; to deny to an encmy the | came acquainted as use of important harbors as a hise for offensive operations against cither our fleet or land forces: to prescrve such harbors as a base of refuge for our own fleet and permit it to he used in its most efficient way by seeking out and engaging the enemy; fo af- ford refuge and protection to our shipping; and to compel the enem in order to achieve military results of“importance to resort to an expedi- tion involving the transportation troops across the seas and effect landing at some place not posse: the strategic value had by the fortified. “Of necessity many coast towns would have to be left withont such defense, where the damage that might be done in event of control of the sea being lost by our fleet, would be deplorable but would not be of vuch character as would really impair the nation’s well-being or resisting power. “Fortifications are deemed suffi- cient when they serve these purposes and the prevention of invasion then becomes the duty of the mobile army.
