Cry OF MEXICO, DOUBTFUL TERRITORY,
February IA, 1913.
DEAR COLONEL: If any body asks you
that impudent question again. ''What are
we fightn forl" jest tell him he's goose.
and don't know what he's talking about.
for we aint fghtn at all; we've got peace
now: got an armistice. they call it; so
there's no sense at all in their putting that
question to you any more. We've got the
opposition fairly on the hip upon that ques-
ton. if no other; fairly gagged 'em: they
cant say to you any longer now, "What
are we fightin for!'' This is some conso-
lation for the shabby trick TR1sT has serv-
ed US. That fellow has made bargain
with the Mexicans to stop the war, in spite
Of the orders you semitic him to come right
home and let things alone. l felt uneasy
about it when see him hanging about here
so long after he got his orders to come
home. and | said to him, once or twice,
MIR. Trist, what's the reason you don't go
off home and mind the President! This
unlawful boldness of yourn is shameful -
''Why. Major" says he. ''he that does
his masters will, does right, whether he
goes according to order or not The
President sent me out here to make peace.
and it's wonder to me if don fix it vet.
somehow or other. before I've done with
it," And then he put his finger to the side
ofhis nose give me sassy look, as much
as to say, Major Downing. YOU better not try
to be looking into diplomatic things that's
too deep for you.
Says I, "Mr. Trist. I'm astonished a,
you; thought you was a man of more
judgment. and looked deeper into things
Don't you see what advantage il gives the
President to let things now stand Jest as
they be! He's offered peace to the Mexi.
cans. and they have refused it. There
fore. the opposition at home cant crv out
against him any more if he goes ahead
with the war. He's shet their mouths up
on that score. He's made the war popu-
lar, and can 60 into the Presidential cam
paign now with good chance Of being
elected another term. And now if you 90
to dabbin in the business any more. I'm
sure you'll do mischief. As things now
stand. peace is the last thing in the world
that the President wants. You've done
your GRAND here and got your answer. and
it's turned out jest right. we can 60 on with
our annexin all Mexico now. without such
an everlasting growlin among the opPosi-
ton At home. for we've offered the Mexi-
cans peace. and they would'n take it. So
you've nothin to do now but to be of home.
for the war is jest in the right shape a. j,
is"
