They will be helpless in counter too fast Benning cautioned forget their tremendous manpower once they get thorn million men can crush the Americans before they can get themselves million men perhaps but how can we ever expect to get a million men mobilized in Mexico without rousing the Americans finally to ac incke stopped in his tracks and his blue eyes looked gravely at Ben ning through their thick lenses The Austrian lowered his voice is not mere surmise Brom 1 litz This I will tell you in the deep est confidence One day in General Van office I glimpsed his little map of the United States and on it are red arrows pointing in from the south the east and the west I had only a glimpse befoie he returned the map to his desk but I caught figures enough Jo con vince me of a million men Benning managed an indifferent smile and decided to close this dan gerous subject "With a million men incke a great deal might be he said and added with a glance at his wrist watch getting late and what do you say to some dm ncr?
